"Let's say it causes just one or two cases of ALS every year out of a million doses that are given. What if your daughter is the one?"

Aspirin kills 20,000 Americans each year. What if your daughter is among those 20,000?

Good question. My only comment to that would be there is very little difference, except there are some out there wanting to make gardasil a requirement.

It would have been nice if the drug pushers of Gardasil would have told the truth: It is a vaccination against a sexually transmitted virus. Girls who plan to remain virgins until marriage have no need to get it.

But then, that would have cut into their sales because our overlords all know that such concepts are so unrealistic and out of date.

“(1996): “Each year, use of NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) accounts for an estimated 7,600 deaths and 76,000 hospitalizations in the United States.” (NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, ketoprofen, and tiaprofenic acid.)

Fair enough, but there are alternatives to aspirin. If a parent thinks his or her daughter is at low risk for VD because she was taught to abstain, I don’t see why they should subject their child to this risk. Poor girl.

This article was restricted to ALS as a possible side-effect of Gardasil. From the little I've read,, there are a lot of other problems young girls have had after receiving Gardasil.

See slides 15-18. Guillian Barre is one of the causes people are linking the vaccine to, yet the incidence with the vaccine is the same as without.

As for VAERS, anyone can file a report. I can get a tetanus vaccine, and report that a week later I developed heart failure afterwards. That doesn’t prove a correlation, but the general public seems to think that if it’s in VAERS, it’s true. These are unsubstantiated reports, and must be viewed that way.

I’m not saying that Gardisil is NOT causing paralysis, but rather it has yet to be proven.

Also keep in mind that ANY substance which is introduced into the body carries with it the potential for an adverse reaction, some of which are severe in an extremely small percentage of the population.

20,000 deaths per year from asprin? Where’d you get those figures?

A quick google search gives these, which includes all NSAIDS, not just aspirin.

You just lost major amounts of credibility unless you can provide statistics which support your statement.
