HPV vs. cervical cancer vs. Gardasil

Have you read the vaccine package insert?
http://www.merck.com/product/usa/pi_circulars/g/gardasil/gardasil_pi.pdf

Gardasil contains only four strains of HPV: Types 6, 11, 16, 18 (note that there are over 120 strains of HPV)

"HPV also causes approximately 35-50% of vulvar and vaginal cancers.... HPV also causes genital warts (condyloma acuminata) which are growths of the cervicovaginal, vulvar, and the external genitalia that rarely progress to cancer. HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18 are common HPV types.
HPV 16 and 18 cause approximately:
• 70% of cervical cancer, AIS, CIN 3, VIN 2/3, and VaIN 2/3 cases; and
• 50% of CIN 2 cases.
HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18 cause approximately:
• 35 to 50% of all CIN 1, VIN 1, and VaIN 1 cases; and
• 90% of genital wart cases."

So, of the 35-50% (leaving 65-50% of the cervical cancers being caused by other things) of cervical cancers that are diagnosed as being caused by HPV, HPV 16 and 18 cause approximately 70% of the 35-50% of cervical cancers caused by HPV.

Say 100 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer:
--50-65 of them will have gotten cervical cancer from a different cause
--35-50 of them will have gotten cervical cancer from HPV
--of the 35-50 who have cervical cancer from HPV, only ~70% of them would have been protected from HPV causing cancer (strain 16 and 18 are the cancer causing strains in gardasil)--24.5-35 of the women (in a 100) "could" have been protected against cervical cancer--that's if the vaccine were effective in them--or if the vaccine didn't wear off...or that they could receive the vaccine at all (because most people have adverse events following vaccination due to allergies or an over-response from the immune system).

Vaccine package insert: "As for any vaccine, vaccination with GARDASIL may not result in protection in all vaccine recipients."

"This vaccine is not intended to be used for treatment of active genital warts; cervical cancer; CIN, VIN, or VaIN.
This vaccine will not protect against diseases that are not caused by HPV.
GARDASIL has not been shown to protect against diseases due to non-vaccine HPV types.
As with all injectable vaccines, appropriate medical treatment should always be readily available in case of rare anaphylactic reactions following the administration of the vaccine. The decision to administer or delay vaccination because of a current or recent febrile illness depends
largely on the severity of the symptoms and their etiology. Low-grade fever itself and mild upper respiratory infection are not generally contraindications to vaccination.
Individuals with impaired immune responsiveness, whether due to the use of immunosuppressive therapy, a genetic defect, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, or other causes, may have reduced antibody response to active immunization (see PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions).
As with other intramuscular injections, GARDASIL should not be given to individuals with bleeding disorders such as hemophilia or thrombocytopenia, or to persons on anticoagulant therapy unless the potential benefits clearly outweigh the risk of administration. If the decision is made to administer
GARDASIL to such persons, it should be given with steps to avoid the risk of hematoma following the injection."

"GARDASIL is not recommended for use in pregnant women."

"GARDASIL has not been evaluated for the potential to cause carcinogenicity or genotoxicity."

"Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when GARDASIL is administered to a nursing woman."

"The safety and efficacy of GARDASIL have not been evaluated in children younger than 9 years....The safety and efficacy of GARDASIL have not been evaluated in adults above the age of 26 years."

See pages 11-13 in vaccine package insert for adverse events table.

Keep in mind HPV is a sexually transmitted disease--a preventable disease (without vaccination). Practice safe sex people...

This is one, of many, vaccine I would NEVER recommend.

FDA calls for pain reliever warning; Updated 12/20/2006 12:01 AM ET; By Julie Schmit and Julie Appleby, USA TODAY
The warnings don't stem from new data regarding health risks and NSAIDs, Ganley says. But he added there may be increasing evidence of liver risks with acetaminophen. A study published last year in Hepatology concluded that liver damage caused by acetaminophen exceeded other causes of U.S. drug-induced acute liver failure, but that most of the cases stemmed from accidental overdoses or suicide attempts. About 100 people in the USA die each year after accidental acetaminophen overdoses, the FDA says.


New Warnings Proposed For Over–the–Counter Drugs; The New York Times, 12-20-06; Editor's Notes: or read it straight from the story: Warnings Proposed for Over-the-Counter Drugs; By STEPHANIE SAUL; Published: December 20, 2006
But Dr. Ganley said that when the drugs are used by so many people rare problems could add up. Doctors have raised concerns about overdoses from drugs containing acetaminophen, a leading cause of acute liver failure. More than 200 million Americans a year take products like Tylenol with acetaminophen, and overdoses cause up to 450 deaths a year from acute liver failure.


Approximate deaths per year from varicella: 100 (CDC's MMWR publication).

That would put Tylenol on the same level of safety as the varicella infection--wouldn't it?

Since the beginning of the Varicella vaccine: Found 28274 records with Vaccine contains 'VARCEL' (singular varicella vaccine) plus, Found 293 records with Vaccine contains 'MMRV' (Proquad) reported cases to VAERS...which does more harm...varicella, or the vaccines that "protect" against varicella?

Which is safer: Tylenol, varicella, or the varicella vaccine?

Herd Immunity

How can herd immunity exist in our world today?

Vaccines do not provide life-long immunity. How could vaccines create herd immunity then? Plus, there are vaccines that shed--therefore spreading the disease (well, a weaked form of the disease, but spreading the disease nonetheless)--how can herd immunity exist with vaccines keeping the disease in circulation.

As far as I know, this is still a theory--with plenty of mathematical equations to recreate what the scientific community/medical community believe to be happening. I still haven't seen evidence that PROVES this theory.

My understanding was that herd immunity could only happen when a disease went through a population naturally. Those who survive will have natural immunity--and their children will gain basic immunity and be able to handle the disease and have natural life-long immunity themselves.

Vaccinated immunity leaves adolescents with waning "immunity" (if they have any at all) and leave them susceptable as adults--instead they should be acquiring natural immunities as children by experiencing these childhood diseases. Vaccinated immunity cannot be passed from mother to infant/child--leaving the infants more susceptable to disease--whereas, natural immunity CAN be passed from mother to infant, giving the child basic immunity so they can survive disease. Vaccinating leaves a hole for another strain or serotype to step forward and become a menace--creating the need for more and more vaccines--which makes the community at large more susceptable to disease--creating an unhealthy environment. And I guess you could view boosters as a cure to the vaccinated immunity problem--but does it solve the problem?--no!

Vaccinated immunity wears off--natural immunity does not wear off.

Hepatitis B

http://www.cdc.gov/nip/publications/pink/hepb.pdf
Both the pediatric and adult formulations of Recombivax HB are approved for use in any age group. For example, the adult formulation of Recombivax HB may be used in children
(0.5 mL) and adolescents (0.5 mL). However, pediatric Engerix-B is approved for use only in children and adolescents younger than 20 years of age. The adult formulation of Engerix-B is not approved for use in infants and children but may be used in both adolescents (11–19 years of age) and adults.
Engerix-B contains aluminum hydroxide as an adjuvant.
It does not contain thimerosal as a preservative but contains a trace of thimerosal as residual from the manufacturing process. The vaccine is supplied in singledose vials and syringes. recombivax HB contains aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate as an adjuvant. None of the formulations of Recombivax HB contain thimerosal or any other preservative. The vaccine is supplied in single
dose vials.


Hepatitis B vaccine has been alleged to cause or exacerbate
multiple sclerosis (MS). A 2004 retrospective study in a British population found a slight increase in risk of MS among hepatitis B vaccine recipients. However, large population-based studies have shown no association between receipt of hepatitis B vaccine and either the development of MS or exacerbation of the course of MS is persons already diagnosed with the disease.

Polio

The Eradication of Polio — Progress and Challenges
Mark A. Pallansch, Ph.D., and Hardeep S. Sandhu, M.D.
...
Because of persistent viral transmission, polio eradication activities have been intensified in India, and most children in the northern part of the country are now receiving more than 12 doses of vaccine before their second birthday (many more than the number of doses that are recommended for routine vaccinations, but necessary to attain immunity in high-risk areas and to eradicate the virus in some populations). These increased activities have led to fatigue among both the local vaccination teams and the community members who participate. Moreover, a median of 10 reported vaccine doses have been received by persons who have contracted poliomyelitis; this has raised questions about the efficacy of the vaccine. The quality and potency of the vaccine have been tested and shown to be adequate, but various biologic and ecologic factors such as other enteric infections and poor nutrition may be contributing to its reduced effectiveness in inducing immunity in these particular reservoir populations. A perplexing discrepancy remains, however, since other areas of southern Asia — including other parts of India — have similar risk factors for the transmission of the virus because of poor sanitation and crowding and yet are now polio-free.

Aluminum hydroxied: causing problems

http://www.straight.com/article/vaccines-show-sinister-side
New, so-far-unpublished research led by Vancouver neuroscientist Chris Shaw shows a link between the aluminum hydroxide used in vaccines, and symptoms associated with Parkinson's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease), and Alzheimer's.

Shaw is most surprised that the research for his paper hadn't been done before. For 80 years, doctors have injected patients with aluminum hydroxide, he said, an adjuvant that stimulates immune response.

“We show that the introduction of the vaccine in Portugal led to changes in H. influenzae, particularly the decline in strains of serotype b (from 81 to 16%), which was accompanied by a relative increase of NC strains (from 19 to 80%). We also report for the first time a Portuguese serotype f invasive strain that was isolated during the vaccination period. The efficacy of the Hib conjugate vaccine (10) has been extensively studied, and it significantly reduces the incidence of carriage in immunized children, which may have several consequences, e.g., the isolation of other serotypes in cases of invasive disease, especially serotypes a and f (18, 19); an increase in virulence of non-b serotypes (15, 16); and a concomitant increase in NC strains (9).”

“Before the 1990s, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) was the leading cause of bacterial meningitis, but new vaccines being given to all children as part of their routine immunizations have reduced the occurrence of invasive disease due to H. influenzae. Today, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are the leading causes of bacterial meningitis.”

It seems to me that Hib vaccines caused the pneumococcal bacteria to thrive—creating a shift in what causes bacterial meningitis. Because of the Hib vaccine we need the pneumococcal vaccine. What will we need for the pneumococcal vaccine?

Some vaccines contain aborted fetal tissues...

The fetal cell lines that are in use currently (for approved vaccines and that are used for vaccines that are in clinical trials) are as follows:

MRC-5 (used in Varivax, Vaqta, Havrix, Twinrix, ProQuad, Poliovax, Imovax, Zostavax, Acambis 1000)

RA273 (used in MMR II, MR VAX, Biavax II, Meruvax II, ProQuad)

WI-38 (used in Varivax, MMR II, MR VAX, Biavax II, Meruvax II, ProQuad, Zostavax)

PER C6 (used in an Ebola vaccine that is in development, used in a flu vaccine that is in development, used in an avian flu vaccine that is in development, used in a HIV vaccine that is in development)

HEK 293 (used in Xigris, used in a flu vaccine that is in development, used in an avian flu vaccine that is in development)

WI-26 (used in Enbrel)

VA4 (used in Enbrel)


(The diseases relating to the vaccines above, that are apart of the recommended vaccine schedule, are: Varicella, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Polio, Hepatitis A, and Hepatitis B.)

Delayed Vaccine Schedules:
http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller15.html (The following quotations are from the site.)
“Finally, a user-friendly vaccination schedule requires that vaccinations, after the age of two, be given no more than once every six months, one at a time, in order to allow the immune system sufficient time to recover and stabilize between shots.”

“In summary, this is a vaccination schedule that I would recommend:
1. No vaccinations until a child is two years old.
2. No vaccines that contain thimerosal (mercury).
3. No live virus vaccines (except for smallpox, should it recur).
4. These vaccines, to be given one at a time, every six months, beginning at age 2:
1. Pertussis (acellular, not whole cell)
2. Diphtheria
3. Tetanus
4. Polio (the Salk vaccine, cultured in human cells)”

Other "research" I've done...better look through the memories: our_choices
http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=our_choices&keyword=Vaccines&filter=all

How a vaccine is made:
http://www.vaccinationnews.com/dailynews/may2001/whatsinvax.htm

Here's the list of things to talk with your doctor about in relationship to vaccines:

Why should I immunize? Is there any reason I shouldn't immunize?

Do you have children? Are they immunized? With every vaccination you're asking me to allow? Are you immunized yourself? With every vaccination you're recommending to me?

Are vaccines 100% safe? What studies have been done to prove their safety? Who funded these studies (if any exist)?

Are they 100% effective? What studies have been done to prove their efficacy? Who funded these studies (if any exist)?

How long can you guarantee a particular vaccine to protect my child?

Vaccines only contain mercury (residual amounts, formaldehyde, aluminum, antifreeze, MSG, phenol, etc. - aren't those poisons?

Vaccines contain 5 or more viruses in one shot, would a baby normally contract 5 diseases at one time? (At such a young age?) Is it really safe to expose my baby to so many different diseases at one time? Are the doses different for lets say a 4 yr old compared to a 2 mo old?

If a child contracts a disease normally it usually enters through a mucous membrane in their body and goes through many barriers in the body before it reaches the bloodstream. When a child is vaccinated the vaccine is injected into the muscle and goes straight to the blood. Are the antibodies then exactly the same?

How come one gives life long immunity and the other immunity wanes?

Vaccines are cultured on mediums such as monkey kidneys, chick embryos and human diploid cells. That gives me a lot of concerns:
First of all, do we know my child is not allergic to eggs?
Secondly, I have some moral concerns about the aborted fetus tissues.
Third, what genetic material is being injected into a child's body along with the vaccine? What are the possible consequences to those ingredients? What studies have been preformed to prove that it's safe?

Do you have unvaccinated children in your practice? Do you compare vaccinated to unvaccinated children in your practice?

Are there any studies that compare vaccinated children to unvaccinated children?

Have Vaccines been tested for carcinogenic material? Teratogenic (gene altering) effects? Reproductive system affects? What studies prove their safety?

What is the National Vaccine Injury Act? How many are reported each year?

What is VAERS? How many reports are there each year?

Insurance companies do not cover for damage to life and property due to:
*Acts of God
*Nuclear war and nuclear power plant accidents
*Vaccination
Why is vaccination on this list?

Do we legally have to vaccinate? For school - are there exemptions?

Can I have the vaccine package inserts? Have you read the whole insert?

Is it an emergency that I vaccinate? Or can it wait till I decide?

If my child suffers adverse reactions to any vaccine can I file suit against the manufacturers of the product?

When is the most dangerous period for my child to come in contact with these diseases?

How long until the vaccines become effective/how many vaccines does it take for my child to be “immune”?

Questions about each disease (I'll use polio as an example):
What is polio?
What different kinds of polio exist?
Who is at risk for getting polio?
What are the risks factors in contracting polio?
How is polio spread/how do you get it?
How soon after exposure to polio do symptoms appear?
What are the symptoms of polio?
How long does it last?
How is polio diagnosed?
What treatments are available for polio?
What prevention can you take so you will not contract polio?
What is the history of polio?
How common is polio?
What are the benefits of getting polio?
What are the risks of getting polio?
How does one get life-long immunity from polio?
What other information do I need to know about polio?

The ask questions about the vaccine (using polio as an example again):
What is the history of the polio vaccine?
What vaccines are available for polio?
Which is the “safest” vaccine available for polio?
Which is the most “effective” vaccine available for polio?
Reasons to vaccinate?
Reasons not to vaccinate?
What benefits are involved in vaccinating against polio?
What risks are involved in vaccinating against polio?
What are the ingredients in the polio vaccine?
How do the ingredients of the polio vaccine affect the human body?
What are the contraindications for the polio vaccine?
What are adverse affects that can occur when being vaccinated against polio?
What syndromes are associated with the polio vaccine?
How many doses are needed for the vaccine to be effective?
How long does the vaccine last (does it wear off)?
What other information do I need to know about the polio vaccine?

***And ask any other questions you may have...

...I recommend learning as much as you can about the viral/bacterial infections...as well as learning about all you can about the vaccines that are given to "avoid" these illnesses...read the package inserts (I have most of the vaccine inserts listed with their proper illness--I don't have all of them I'm sure--if you want me to find one, just ask me and I'll look it up)--especially read the "Contraindications," "Warnings," "Precautions," "Adverse Reactions," and when/if you decide to vaccinate, ALWAYS get the name of the shot, the manufacturer name, serial # , batch #, date administered, and the name of the person administering the shots--ALWAYS.

If you feel like you have to vaccinate, get your doctor to sign the following forms:

CONSENT TO FOLLOWING VACCINE SCHEDULE

If we, the parents of,(Child's name), consent to your vaccine schedule, you—the doctor,(Physician's name), promise that my child, (child's name) , will remain immune to normal illnesses and to the virus/bacteria that he/she is being vaccinated against and will stay healthy and free of any and all vaccine reactions. If any reactions, illnesses, or disorders happen because of the vaccines, you will take full responsibility, professionally, and financially—and agree to comply with the following two forms.
