They are totally different circumstances. Walmart is pulling enfamil because they have no idea why a baby died from it, and fear there is some contaminent introduced in the production, or that the product is somehow flawed. It’s a normal reaction, like there is a bad batch or something. And enfamil is just one of a class of products, which is simply something to consume, not some drug that provides particular benefit.

Again, there is no indication that any person has actually died because of Gardasil. But as Gardasil prevents a significant number of deaths, it is accepted that it’s use might actually cause deaths. People do die from vaccines, and we treat that as an acceptable risk for the reward. Each vaccine must include a risk/reward determination.

People die from life-saving medical treatment all the time. Every surgery for example includes the risk of death, but people will have surgery to correct non-life-threatening problems. For example, people will do hip replacement surgery in order to be able to walk. But “in less than 1%” of the patients, the surgery results in nerve damage, and a little less than 1 out of 1000 die after surgery. Is it worth death to be able to walk? That is a determination each person makes, but by and large nobody skips the surgery because they are afraid they might die.

But tell people they can drink their brand of milk, but by the way it will kill one out of 10,000 people, and you will be laughed at. Almost nobody will risk a known possibility of death simply to partake of a certain product, unless it is some great delicacy. I say that because people DO risk death to eat some foods. Eating Sushi increases the risk of sickness or death, but people do it.

What about all the blood clots? It’s not a bunch of random symptoms.

As for ‘serious complications’, they are several orders of magnitudes more common than those who have died after having a gardasil shot.

If it were any other treatment, it would have already been shut down and investigated. Instead, we have people defending treatment which is demonstrating problems.

If the health of healthy patients is the primary concern, then gardasil needs to be pulled, investigated and properly tested. Prior to having 12 million people injected with.

We also don’t know the long term complications associated either.
