Gardisal Vaccine safety from CDC......As of June 22, 2011, approximately 35 million doses of Gardasil® were distributed in the U.S. and VAERS received a total of 18,727 reports of adverse events following Gardasil® vaccination: 17,958 reports among females and 346 reports for males, of which 285 reports were received after the vaccine was licensed for males in October 2009. VAERS received 423 reports of unknown gender. Of the total number of VAERS reports following Gardasil®, 92% were considered to be non-serious, and 8% were considered serious.......

...and 8% were considered serious....
These are some very important words. Science is being thrown out the window to justify Perry mandating gardasil vaccination and cheer lead for the vaccine and trash Bachmann!
Gardisal
may protect against
four of fifteen HPV viruses that can cause cancer, for an undetermined period of time. Then again it may not. See NEJ study below.
Gardasil has been promoted as giving life time immunity but most certainly has not been around long enough for that claim to be made. In fact, there has not been a chance to study long term side effects of the vaccine.
Gardasil does not eliminate the need for PAP smears. PAP smears on a timely basis detect early pre-cancerous changes that can be treated easily. PAP smears are recommended every 1-5 years, starting 3 years after one's first sexual contact or at age 21.
Gardasil is approved for girls as young as nine years old, despite the fact that the youngest girls participating in clinical trials were 11-12 years old.
·A recent study, published in the
New England Journal of Medicine, also questioned the general effectiveness of Gardasil. Additionally, there has not been a chance to study long term side effects of the vaccine.
The serious adverse effects include: Guillain-Barré Syndrome, seizures, blood clots, anaphylactic shock, paralysis, coma, and death. These are serious side effect to trade off for possible protection against some of the causes of cervical cancer, especially ones not transmitted through casual contact.
Unfortunately the CDC, along with the FDA and EPA have had their missions severely compromised by political agendas, and one is wise not to take their cheer leading for Gardasil as the final word. Just take a look at what passed for science in the mandated replacement of CFC inhalers with HFA inhalers.
