The HPV Vaccine Controversy
"Gardasil was fast-tracked and received FDA approval before its final safety evaluation trials were complete, and its final safety evaluation trials won’g be concluded until September 2009. Despite this, the drug is being aggressively mass-marketed on TV and at the movies in adverts pitched to young girls, including preteens, and state legislators were heavily lobbied to make the drug mandatory for school girls ages 11 and up. Parents are understandably reluctant to give the shots to daughters who are not yet sexually active, and the long-term impacts of which are entirely unknown."
To say the Gardasil Marketing Campaign was/is aggressive is putting it mildly! It created a sense of urgency around cervical cancer that doesn't exist...especially in the United States. Additionally, over 14,000 girls have experienced adverse side effects from this vaccine yet Merck, the CDC and FDA maintain its safety and attribue side effects to other factors. As Judicail Watch said, Gardasil is a large-scale public health experiment.
