Journal of Child Neurology Reports 16 Year Old GIrl Blinded After Merck Gardasil Vaccination

Blind eyeI assume this headline, "Girl Blinded by Gardasil Vaccine!" is in your newspaper today, on the front page, as every case of measles, mumps and chicken pox is reported. Will the doctors at Connecticut Children's Medical Center be hailed as heroes or villains, and run out of town on a rail for publishing this report? Take note of a similar case from 1978, reported following trivalent MMR vaccination in a 6 year old boy in 1978 at the end of this post.

How dreadfully sad for this child and her mother, who I'm sure is heartbroken and guilt ridden. Let's pray the damage is reversible. The .pdf from the journal is HERE.

In case you've never heard of blindness following vaccination, here's another report. From 1978...

Am J Ophthalmol. 1978 Oct;86(4):544-7.
Optic neuritis complicating measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination.

A 6-year-old boy developed bilateral optic neuritis with decreasing visual acuity 18 days after administration of live attenuated trivalent measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. The patient was treated with oral corticosteroids. The optic neuritis resolved within several weeks and normal vision returned. An afferent pupillary defect persistent in the more severely involved eye for 14 months following vaccination.

What it has to do with autism? The vaccine
ingredients get through the blood brain barrier and the neurons and the connections get damaged.How is it done? In the case of
Gardasil with the help of Polysorbate 80
(detergent carrier) and L-histidine (physiological carrier)the blood brain barrier is tricked/damaged/dissolved to allow the vaccine ingradients to travel to
the central nervous system.This is horrific,
and I truly believe Gardasil is the cause.
I pray for this young lady and she needs to find the best neurologist to help her.

My co-worker emailed our boss today and has been diagnosed with the flu. She received both the seasonal flu vaccine and an H1N1 vaccine 2-3 months ago. Only time will tell how these unneccessary and avoidable injections will do to her body and hell, she STILL got the flu and is now sucking down more prescription meds. What a happy little Pharma circle they have created! And I bet she will get more vaccines next year as well.

Ignore "Michael" as people like this just write crap like that to antagonize other. Just not worth your time.

Vaccines cause autism and other neurological injury in otherwise healthy people. They are not reliable and represent a failed scientific hypothesis. As a physician and surgeon I tell people everyday not to vaccinate their children or themselves anymore. I just told my daughters special education teacher the same thing again, however people simply cannot fathom that the United States government would indemnify behavior as reckless and irresponsible as this being perpetrated on the American people and the entire world by the pharmaceutical industry in America.

Drug money and a general lack of morality will buy you this type of heretical science and the atrocities that accompany it, and these are atrocities.

The presence HPV alone does not cause cervical cancer and the FDA knows that, to even be a candidate for HPV induced cervical cancer you must have a CHRONIC HPV infection for at least two years. This is seen in women with multiple sex partners and not using condoms. This has been known for more than 10 years. That HPV was highly associated with women who have multiple sex partners and increasing cervical cell dysplasia, a precancerous condition, has been known for over thirty years.
Instead of simply telling young girls the truth, that multiple sex partners was unhealthy for them and increases their risk of cancer just like increase sexual partners and infections in young boys may increase their risk for prostate cancer later, we offer them a vaccine and sex education classes with a how to manual from a public school. We have to pull our heads out of our butts if we actually want to save our children

Michael, here's a clue:

"Acute Demyelinating Encephalomyelitis" is one of this girl's diagnoses, according to the JCN article. "Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis" is the diagnosis of Bailey Banks, whose autism was found to be caused by the MMR. Bailey Banks' post-vaccination MRI was "interpreted by the treating radiologist, Bret Sleight, M.D., as 'most consistent with a demyelinating process of immune etiology such as may be seen with ADEM or perhaps post-vaccination.'”

For more on demyelination, encephelopathy, and autism, see David Kirby's presentation, "Metals, Myelin & Mitochondria Pathways to Autism" beginning at http://www.ageofautism.com/2009/05/david-kirbys-autism-one-presentation-metals-myelin-mitochondria-pathways-to-autism.html

Michael-- you have a head injury. Please go back to the Examiner and Skepticrap blogs and share your wit and genius there.

I disagree with the comment that this has nothing to do with autism b/c it has everything to do with the umbrella of disorders that come with vaccination damage. In December my dog was vaccinated and he is almost blind now. Came on within a week of his vaccines. He went in healthy as a horse, came out with liver damage, kidney damage and near blindness. Nothing in his life had changed but that he got vaccinated. The vet would not agree the damage had anything to do with vaccinations although he couldn't explain it. Sound familiar?

I am certain Michael knows exactly what this has to do with autism. On the off chance that a new visitor to this site might not get the conncection, it's about vaccine injury. I think it's pretty safe to say that MOST readers here believe vaccines play a role in autism, and many believe they caused or contributed to their child's autism. Did I really have to conncect the dots for you, Michael? I think not.

Janet Sheehan

Because, Michael, adverse events follow immunizations, that's a known fact (AEFIs). Adverse events like blindness, paralysis, neurological damage, tranverse myelitis, even autism. Access the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) at nvic.org and educate yourself.

What does this story have to do with autism? Maybe you should change the name of the blog to "Age of Things that have Nothing to do with Autism."

Extremely saddened to read this, hope this beautiful girl regains her sight god bless her x x x

I myself have email information about gardasil to whole bunch of my friends a few months ago. I reminded them to be very careful about that.

My mom is 80 years old, and most of her friends are over 85, why is that none of them have cervical cancer in their entire life-we all should ponder on this!


I personally think that the one who benefit the most from gardasil are those giant pharmaceutical companies.

In the days of Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, 150 years ago or so that Ob/Gyn doctor took the radical position that doctors should sterilize their hands before delivering babies. In his clinic he practically eliminated child bed fever which killed so many mothers at that time. While he would eventually be called the "Father of antisepsis" he was roundly dismissed and ridiculed by the "experts" of his day. Dr. Charles Meigs the emmiment head of Jefferson Medical colleges Ob/Gyn department, said, "Physicians are gentlemen and gentlemen's hands are clean". Others called his work, "The Koran of peurpeural fever (child bed fever) theology". So the killing continued unabated for decades more condemning tens of thousands of women to a painful death after childbirth.

When autism was first described as a disease in the 1940s, the standard medical theory, first promulgated by an "expert" with a degree in philosophy was that the child's disease was the result of "refrigerator mothers".

Leaving aside questions of vaccine efficacy now we have people questioning the wisdom of taking vaccines that still often contain thimerosal (both swine and seasonal influenza) a preservative already banned in much of the world for documented neurotoxicty. A mercury based preservative that is entirely unnecessary for safe and efficacious vaccination. One that was to be banned from all pediatric vaccines in the US until the previous president vetoed that bill.
Vaccines that are rarely adjusted for dosage in children who weigh less than a tenth of adults, Vaccines which do often contain ethylene glycol (antifreeze) and aluminum salts (alum), all of which is received at the same time a child's immune system encounters within minutes a massive influx of what it perceives as pathogens (or of course the vaccine would have no efficacy), and while these pathogenic epitopes are not processed through skin lung or gut as would more often be the case in natural infection but are presented immediately to the child's tissue.

Once again the experts are out in force ridiculing those who are concerned for their safety and/or the safety of their children. Well, I am skeptical of such experts.

My 12 year old was disabled by Gardasil. There is definately something wrong with this vaccine. Many young girls have been injured and many have died from this vaccine. To read their stories, please visit WWW.TRUTHABOUTGARDASIL.ORG.

Yes, Nancy, you've almost passed. Now just foam with vitriol over vax injury claimants who "want money" and threaten to bring back deadly diseases with their anti-vaccine message and you get a 100%.

According to the official CDC script we're supposed to let this one slide because the vaccine manufacturers and distributors have good intentions, right?

Nothing scientific need be learned by the product manufacturer for prevention purposes; is that correct?

Grief and assistance are restricted only to "haunted" families of victims of vaccine-preventable diseases -- no tears to be shed for vaccine-injury victims. Did I pass the public health administration quiz?


D. Carlson

RARITY of the reaction to Gardisil? Keep in mind only 7/1000th's of 1% of American females fail to clear HPV with intact immune systems and end up perishing from cervical cancer. So the preventable condition is far rarer than adversity to the vaccination. Priorities in order here?

Benedetta

They actually said the cause was immunization???

The medical article said this???


Is that correct???

Jenny

Yes, indeed. If her blindness continues, her chances of contracting HPV-caused cancer are definately lessoned. Another successful vaccination . . . NOT. Condoms don't cause blindness or cancer. 400 mg of folic acid a day has been known to actually reverse low and moderate cervical displaysia (cell changes in the cervix that happen prior to cervical cancer.)
I will pray for this family. It is just so sad.
