HPV vaccine only protects one kind of virus, there are several that cause cervical cancer. There HAVE been deaths and serious injuries attributed to this vaccine. There are acceptable risks with all vaccines,
‘Is your daughter an ‘acceptable risk?’
There have been no deaths attributed to the vaccine. There have been 49 deaths that occured proximately in time to the receipt of the vaccine. however, that is simply a reporting measure. People die all the time, and in the group receiving the Gardasil vaccination there are 90 deaths a day. So if half of them got vaccinated, you would expect that in 45 cases, they would have died shortly after receiving the vaccine.
The CDC has studied 29 of the deaths where they had useful information, and none of the 29 deaths was attributed to the vaccine.
So, at this time, there are no “known” deaths. The side effects that have been authoritatively linked to the vaccine are also within reasonable norms. This is not surprising, as there is nothing in the vaccine that would make it particularly risky (except there was a manufacturing issue that tainted some of the vaccines at one point a while ago, at least according to press reports).
I used to think the vaccine was too risky to consider unless you were sexually active, but it appears much less risky than was thought in 2009. We have millions of actual vaccinated people to track now.
Except for the last sentence, I think your post is misleading or inaccurate. Gardasil prevents the HPV virus responsible for the majority of cervical cancers (around 70%), and no deaths are attributable to it according to the CDC and FDA.
From documents on the FDA page on Approved Product: Gardasil.
Based on the review of available information by FDA and CDC, Gardasil continues to be safe and effective, and its benefits continue to outweigh its risksBased on ongoing assessments of vaccine safety information, FDA and CDC continue to find that Gardasil is a safe and effective vaccine.
