Deaths
As of June 22, 2011 there have been a total 68 VAERS reports of death among those who have received Gardasil® . There were 54 reports among females, 3 were among males, and 11 were reports of unknown gender. Thirty two of the total death reports have been confirmed and 36 remain unconfirmed due to no identifiable patient information in the report such as a name and contact information to confirm the report.
And these deaths are just in the states. See #35
VAERS reports are not indivisual cases.
VAERS systems, in an attempt to make sure no case is missed, allows anyone to report. The result of that is when there is a concern of an extreme reaction, like death, the doctor reports it, individuals nurses report it, family members report it. Each individual report is logged individually.
You have to look at the data after duplicate reports have been combined to define which are unique cases. Raw VAERS reports are not indicative of individual events.
Also realize the initial reports have no evaluation of cause-effect. You can die in a from the flue after the way home from the vaccination for HPV and someone can file a VAERS report. The claim will never go away but remained linked to the initial report.
From their web site:

VAERS data contains coincidental events and those truly caused by vaccines.
VAERS is a passive reporting system, meaning that reports about adverse events are not automatically collected, but require a report to be filed to VAERS. VAERS reports can be submitted voluntarily by anyone, including healthcare providers, patients, or family members. Reports vary in quality and completeness. They often lack details and sometimes can have information that contains errors.
A report to VAERS generally does not prove that the identified vaccine(s) caused the adverse event described. It only confirms that the reported event occurred sometime after vaccine was given. No proof that the event was caused by the vaccine is required in order for VAERS to accept the report. VAERS accepts all reports without judging whether the event was caused by the vaccine.
Also interesting that you didn’t include the rest of the paragraph where those reports of deaths were evaluated.
Thirty two of the total death reports have been confirmed and 36 remain unconfirmed due to no identifiable patient information in the report such as a name and contact information to confirm the report.
In the 32 reports confirmed, there was no unusual pattern or clustering to the deaths that would suggest that they were caused by the vaccine and some reports indicated a cause of death unrelated to vaccination.
