The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has told Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat to immediately suspend the cervical cancer control vaccination programme for girls. The programme is part of a two-year study to look into the utility of a vaccine in public health programmes and acceptability of Gardasil, the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine made by Merck. Gardasil, available in medical stores across the country, is marketed in India by MSD Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd.
The programme was marred by controversy after four deaths and complications among 120 girls were reported after vaccination. The girls complained of stomach disorders, epilepsy, headaches and early menarche. Women activists fear the vaccine may impact the mental health of girls who have shown no signs of distress so far.
Health ministry sources said the vaccination programme is being conducted by Gardasil, jointly with PATH, a Seattle-based NGO, ICMR and the two state governments. About 32,000 girls, aged 10-14, were to be tested in the study.

Did you know that 150 people around the world die each year because of falling coconuts?
I did not know that. Guess it wasn’t headline news.
We still need to ban coconuts.
Need more info...
what about the adults that get polio because of the polio vacinations every year? there are a couple of cases each year.
Every medicine comes with a SIDE EFFECT warning.
You cannot take anything without a chance you could die.
Am I wrong— vaccines have been mandated since ever?
Bump
I can’t resist.
Did they initiate this program due to a bribe or contribution from Merck?
If not, why on earth did they decide to try this? There can be no other reason, right, for deciding to implement a vaccination program to prevent young girls from getting Cancer? Supposedly, according so many posters on FR.
Of course, now that it comes out that Nikki Haley in SC originally was all for a program in her state, only to change her mind when the people rebelled, it begins to look like there might be a valid reason for trying something like this to address a genuine medical issue...
Just curious, there’s another manufacturer now besides Merck...believe it’s Glaxo Smith Kline. Which option didn’t exist at the time of the Perry attempt in TX. So, gotta ask, how did Merck get the gig in this case?
Or could there be a reasonable explanation for this one...just asking?
Since this is reported out of India, I have to wonder if this matches up to experiences in other countries, or if perhaps there was something wrong with the way the vaccine was administered there.
It’s been said that the original polio vaccine wouldn’t be approved today because of the few deaths that it caused (regardless of the uncountable numbers of people that it saved).
That being said, since this vaccine is a preventative to a disease (HPV) that AFAIK can only be contracted by sexual contact, don’t people think there’s something else that could be done besides vaccinating their daughters? There must be SOMETHING, but I just can’t think of what.... :)
“don’t people think there’s something else that could be done besides vaccinating their daughters? There must be SOMETHING, but I just can’t think of what.... :)”
Yes they can try to force their daughters to become nuns and vow to never have sex for the rest of their lives.
But they will most likely rebel.
Close to half a million women die every year from cervical cancer. Gardasil protects against the most common HPV causes for Cervical Cancer.
You know how man people these `automobiles` kill per year? I demand the arrest and prosecution of those who build, sell or drive these corporate-backed machines of death.
...many infectious agents, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, can be transmitted through blood transfusion. Well-recognized viruses include hepatitis..., and human parvovirus (HPV-B19).
Sideshow not important to the majority to Americans...
See Michelle Bachman was wrong you don’t become retarded. You die!
When I had the small pox vaccination as a child, I became quite ill - had pox on the arm which was the vaccine site.
At least that’s what mother told me, can’t see why she would lie. The other kids in the family didn’t have any reaction though.
Oddly, the only vaccine I had ever tolerated well was for rabies. Man, I was dreading that - but aside from taking a little nap a few hours after the injections, I had no negative reaction.
