Abortion Stillbirth Events from Gardasil Far Exceed All Other Vaccines
January 24, 2011 - According to a National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC – http://nvic.org) MedAlerts blog entry written in November 2010, the incidents of abortion and still birth events from the HPV4 vaccine, Gardasil supersedes the same event from all other vaccinations.
The research and post was written by Steven M. Rubin, Ph.D., a computer scientist who maintains the online searchable VAERS database, MedAlerts. He has managed this database voluntarily and independent of his official work since 2003 and has worked with the NVIC since 2005. 1.
In his blog entry on MedAlerts, Dr. Rubin states that “It has been suggested that the H1N1 Flu vaccine causes miscarriages. This month, I want to see if the claim is supported by VAERS data.” 2.
Dr. Rubin explains how it is determined whether a VAERS event resulted in a miscarriage. “VAERS uses the MedDRA symptom classification, which organizes all known symptoms at five levels of detail. At the second level of detail is an entry “Abortions and stillbirth” which has under it “Abortion related conditions and complications”, “Abortions spontaneous”, “Stillbirth and foetal death” and “Abortions not specified as induced or spontaneous”. Each of these is further refined into specific symptoms. So it seems that this second-level term (or as it is known in MedDRA, the High-Level Group Term or HLGT) is a valid way to identify miscarriages.”
(Click to enlarge photo)
He surmised the data would “surely favor vaccines that have been given for 21 years over those that have been recently introduced, because such vaccines will have been given much more, and so will have produced many more symptoms. In other words, this graph should de-emphasize the H1N1 Flu vaccine, which has existed for just one year. We should see relatively few H1N1-related miscarriage events compared with the “Seasonal” Flu vaccine which has been administered to many more patients.
However, the VAERS data proved him wrong. Dr. Rubin acknowledges the “results are shocking. First of all, the H1N1 Flu vaccine has appeared in miscarriage events more often than almost any other vaccine.
And then he states:
But the graph has more shocking results for us. The H1N1 Flu vaccine appears in many of the abortion/stillbirth cases, but not the most. The “winner,” appearing in 297 of the VAERS records associated with miscarriage, is Gardasil (vaccine code HPV4)! Once again, this vaccine is a newcomer, having only existed for 4 years.
His advice to pregnant women is to “read the product manufacturer’s insert for the vaccine they are considering and speak with one or more trusted health care professionals before making a decision about vaccination during pregnancy.”
According to a recently released study; New Adjuvanted Vaccines in Pregnancy: What is Known About Their Safety?
“Owing to the fact that pregnant women are usually excluded from the majority of clinical trials on vaccines, little is known about the side effects of adjuvants during pregnancy. There are only a few published studies on the safety of adjuvanted vaccines during pregnancy. These studies, however, concentrated on the extreme effects of adjuvanted vaccines on pregnancy (i.e., teratogenic effects). No attention has been paid to more subtle effects, such as effects on placental development or fetal weight or the effects of the vaccine or its adjuvant on the maternal immune system. During normal pregnancy, the maternal immune system adapts to accommodate the semiallogeneic fetus and interference with this immune system may interfere with normal pregnancy.3
SANEVax is outraged that a vaccine that is a “relative newcomer” has the highest incident of induced abortions and stillbirth rates higher than any other vaccine on the market. There is no doubt the vaccine’s safety and efficacy has not been thoroughly investigated. And independent investigation on the safety and efficacy of the HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix must be conducted before there are more injuries and deaths.
There is currently no vaccine specifically approved by the FDA for use during pregnancy in the United States. Caveat Emptor – let the buyer beware!
One More Girl
It is obvious that the pharmaceutical marketing campaign promises of ‘One Less Girl’ at risk for cervical cancer and ‘armed for life’ have turned into a global travesty as each day ONE MORE GIRL suffers and adverse reaction or and/or death – or the death miscarriage/stillbirth of her baby after taking Gardasil or Cervarix.
Please support the ONE MORE GIRL Documentary http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1995527181/one-more- ... – so the truth about the damage done to innocent girls can be told to prevent this global travesty from ever occurring again.

Something to think about:
"A much more recent case of illogical mass vaccinations against a minor health problem is that of the massive, mandatory vaccination program in Brazil, which has raised suspicions among international pro-life activists, who note that the program is similar to other vaccination programs in recent years that have included a hidden sterilizing agent in the vaccines.
The campaign to 'annihilate rubella' began in early August this year, mandating rubella vaccinations for all women ages 12 to 49, and 12 to 39 for men; a total of 70 million people, despite the fact that only 17 Brazilian children per year suffer birth defects from the disease.
Adolfo Castañeda of Human Life International notes that just two years ago, researchers found that the rubella vaccine used in a similar campaign in Argentina was laced with human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG).
'The suspicion that brought about the investigation [into the rubella vaccine] was caused by the fact that there were very few cases of the disease in Argentina, which didn’t merit a large-scale campaign,' Castañeda said, adding, 'The ages for women are the same as those who received the vaccines in Nicaragua, where they included a hormone that sterilizes the woman who receives it, and similar to the age of those who received another sterilizing hormone in the Philippines.'”

@rcn2
My comments are ALL ABOUT TRUTH AND ETHICS NOT IDEOLOGY, I am not sure where you are in this debate but clearly you need some clarification on some basic aspects of physiology.
It is humanly and scientifically impossible for a female to have a miscarriage before puberty. They are not physiologically and sexually mature enough to do so!! They have not developed secondary sexual characteristics that is the definition of puberty.
Puberty is initiated by hormone signals from the brain to the gonads (the ovaries and testes). In response, the gonads produce hormones, FSH,LH,ESTROGEN ETC. in girls that stimulate the growth, function, and transformation of brain, bones, muscle, blood, skin, hair, breasts, and sex organs. Puberty is the process of physical changes by which a child's body becomes an adult body capable of reproduction.
So to answer your question the rate of miscarriage before puberty is ZERO - THEY CANNOT HAVE CHILDREN.
The issue is not just the rate of miscarriage it is ALL of the questions about vaccines. Is there really a need for an HPV vaccine? Are there safety issues? What is the efficacy of the vaccine?
I have given you the stats below
Gardisil is effective against two strains, type 16 and 18, of the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV)They lied and said two other strains are covered as well
The mere exposure to HPV does not increase your risk, a woman must have a protracted chronic infection.
The average age of a cervical cancer patient is 48 years of age
and typically this disease affects less than 10,000 women in the US per year with a survival rate of 92 %.
The vaccine will last only 4-5 years.
The vaccine has been linked to multiple deaths and neurological diseases all over the country and world and has been banned in several countries for periods of time like Spain.
SO THE TRUTH IS:
NO YOU DO NOT NEED GARDISIL
NO GARDISIL IS NOT SAFE
NO GARDISIL IS NOT EFFICACIOUS
NO NO NO NO NO
As far as Amy being smarter and more educated than everyone else? YEAH RIGHT SURE YOU ARE AMY
I am a double board certified and recertified orthopaedic and spinal surgeon and will put my college and med school scores up against you anytime. People in orthopaedics are now starting to look at vaccines as well, in fact I will be addressing some of the most powerful men in Ortho at an upcoming conference and I will be presenting my information to these "uneducated, illogical and amoral people". I will let them know what your blog says Amy about all of us being "uneducated" etc. As you may or may not know Dr. Tom Price, Orthopaedic surgeon is a congressman and Dr. Blake Curd is running for congressman
I am almost certain that there will be a few raised eyebrows and differences of opinion. You may get a few emails and phone calls

Dr. Amy's blog: "I have no patience for vaccine rejectionists. They are uneducated, illogical and immoral."
"Uneducated" is what's truly a ridiculous assertion, as recent studies have shown the parents who refuse or delay vaccines for their children are in most cases, highly educated and middle-to-upper class. As for immoral - asking me to inject my baby with aborted fetal cells is highly immoral in my book. But, it's between me and my God, not me and Dr. Amy and her blog that looks like it was written by a 12 year old girl. All she's missing are the pink ponies and tiaras.
But Dr. Amy knows all about me and my baby without having ever met me and my baby. She knows my family's history of disease, auto-immue issues, mito dysfunction, etc. She knows all of this because she went to the special school for know-it-all doctors, where you learn how to diagnose and treat millions of babies all across the country from a computer keyboard. I'm amazed at how she has time to write a blog with all this time spent knowing everything about every baby on the face of the planet.
Maybe she'd like to meet my vet for my Jack Russell Terrier, who warned me to never, ever get another vaccine for my dog after a vaccine reaction caused his face to puff up like a marshmallow and rendered him unable to walk for a short period. Oh - animals have vaccine reactions too. Maybe he's "uneducated and immoral" too?
My DAN doctor for my vaccine injured child was a previous ER doctor and studied brain toxicology. He's got fancy diplomas, a nice offce and a white lab coat. Is he "uneducated" as well? Or is it just Dr. Amy who posesses all the knowledge in the world? She must be tired.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, this comment from Dr. Amy is instructive:
“Vaccine rejectionists wonder why no one take them seriously and this is why”
Those questioning vaccine safety are taken seriously, that is what has thrown the vaccine promoters into a sheer panic. A majority of parents are concerned about vaccine safety based on recent surveys, the H1N1 vaccine was rejected by the public based largely on worries about safety, and the commercial flop of Gardasil is an ominous predictor of future vaccine uptake. These are but a few examples of how the public (the vaccine consumers) have expressed misgivings about the increase in the vaccine schedule.
When Dr. Amy speaks of how “no one” takes us seriously, she means within her sheltered cocoon of public policy advocates. Plenty of people outside of that world (i.e. those who have the proliferating vaccine schedule forced on themselves and their children) do take these concerns seriously. If she tried talking to people instead of at them the distinction might be more apparent.

@rcn2 - Following up on John Stone’s response, of course we don’t have anything like you suggest. About twelve comments down, I attempted to answer Dr. Amy’s comments regarding miscarriage rates using the data we do have. She responded by ignoring it and calling us names. I repeat:
Td and seasonal influenza are specifically recommended by the CDC for pregnant women, HPV is not. Yet these two vaccines have reported miscarriage counts 8-10 times lower than HPV. How is this explained?
Perhaps Td and influenza are super-duper safe while the HPV vaccine is only regular safe. Since Dr. Amy is an OB/GYN, I was hoping she could tell us how often pregnant women get the HPV vaccine as compared to those vaccines called out in the CDC schedule for pregnant women (Td and flu). If they get HPV 8 to 10 times as often, I will concede the point. I’m sure they don’t, her ignoring the question and throwing out ad hom attacks instead supports my suspicion.

Thanks for proposing a vaccinated vs unvaccinated study. Of course we don't have anything like that at present, only the data off VAERS which provides grounds for concern and may only measure 1% of actual cases. The real ideological position is presuming the intervention to be safe and beneficial without proper testing and monitoring (including public and institutional hostility to anyone reporting adverse consequences).
Posted by: John Stone | January 30, 2011 at 01:34 AM
It is apparent from the comments that people are more interest in ideology than truth. If there are more miscarriages after puberty than before, all we need is the base rate of miscarriage and compare to the rate with the vaccine. If there is a cause & effect relationship between vaccine & miscarriage, the difference should be striking.
Anyone know what that number is?

Amy
No one here is a vaccine rejectionist WE ALL VACCINATED OUR CHILDREN AND THEY WERE INJURED -DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!?!? WE VACCINATED!!
The problem is we were not informed of all of the risk. No one explained to my wife or me the relatively feeble immunological coverage given , if any of the vaccines.
No one told me or even asked for my wife's or my consent and I am a real surgeon, that they would be giving my little girl a vaccine against a disease, an STD, Hep B that is predominately contracted by male homosexuals and secondly by IVDA's.
No one told us of the possible devastating effects of injections that our children really do not need.
As an obgyn you think that this is science?
Since the children are disease free you are not treating anything so the adage "all treament modalities have some risk" has no bearing here and is only a empty and tired cliche for psuedointellectuals to hide behind.
As a REAL surgeon I embrace real science and as real parents ALL OF THESE PEOPLE embrace REAL science.
VACCINES ARE NOT REAL SCIENCE THEY ARE REAL BULLSHIT
We embrace truth.
We reject lies.
We embrace responsebility and the actions to avoid further injury to other children and a legitimate effort to help our children.
We reject irresponsebility the continued effort to sell vaccines to an unwitting public and then not lending assistance to the health and family calamity that is caused by vaccines.
We embrace our constituional right to seek civil damages for the uncivil manner by which pharmaceutical companies and their useful idiots( does that shoe fit?) do business.
We reject special vaccine KANGAROO courts designed to nullify our constitutional rights and protect the interest of the perpetrators.
We embrace real research from real researchers.
We reject ghost written papers from fake journals and criminal
researchers from third world countries that are bought and paid for and have no relevance to real issues and are designed to cover up truth and not further science.
We embrace real physicians and surgeons that courageously report their findings AND tell the truth or the heavans fall.
We reject cowardly physicians and surgeons that ignore obvious flaws and truths and allow themselves to be used as tools to further injure children and adults and families.
We embrace real dialogue and media exposure
We reject media manipulation and exploitation with biased and absurd one sided reporting of the facts with obvious lies and untruths by cowardly uninformed dilitants and charlatans as found in the Wakefield case
We embrace a government THAT WE CAN TRUST AND HAVE CONFIDENCE IN that is of the people by the people and looks out for the basic fundamental civil and health rights and interest of all of the people.
We reject AND DO NOT TRUST a plutocratic government that operates under the guise of a republic with incestous ties to pharmaceutical companies through official government agencies like the CDC, FDA, NIH, and as assundry of other agencies that uses it's influence to affect people negatively all over the world
We embrace God
We reject the devil and eschew evil

Dr. Amy,
During the H1N1 pandemic the Harvard School of Public Health did a study on vaccine compliance. The study found that only 21% adults took the vaccine. Do you know what onbe of the reasons most frequently cited by those who did not get the shot? A concern for safety of the vaccine and inadequate testing.
My point is that people are educating themselves. They are doing their own research. I'd say they are aware, are asking questions and are taking vaccine safety very seriously.
Posted by: Sarah | January 29, 2011 at 06:03 PM
Dr Amy’s misappropriation of the word “skeptic” has a bit of an Orwellian feel about it. Just exactly what are you skeptical about? Is there anything promulgated by the AMA, CDC, or drug companies that raises your skepticism? Looks to me that the only thing you regard skeptically is the word of thousands of parents that their children regressed after vaccination.
Are you skeptical of the revolving door between the CDC and the drug companies and the claim there is no conflict of interest? How about Julie Gerberding leaving the CDC to head Merck’s vaccine development, any skepticism there?
What about the large increase in chronic disorders among children (ASD, ADHD, allergies, asthma, diabetes, anaphylaxis, etc.) concurrent with the increase in the vaccine schedule? The medical establishments answer is: “we have no idea what is causing it, but it just can’t be vaccines”. Even a hint of skepticism?
Are you skeptical of the vaccine manufacturer’s desire to police themselves when they have markets guaranteed by law and are indemnified from liability?
What about the dramatic increase in the prescription of psychiatric drugs such as Risperidone and Ritalin to children as young as four years old? Does that make you skeptical?
What about the claim that multiple studies confirm the safety of simultaneously administering multiple vaccines to an infant? Can you name even one?
How about the IOM declaring the case closed regarding mercury and ASD? Do the Simpsonwood transcripts or the Verstraeten emails obtained via FOIA raise any skepticism?
What about the large number of pertussis cases among those fully immunized? Any skepticism there?
How about the substantial increase of pneumoccocal strain 19A after ten years of administering the PCV-7 vaccine (that didn’t have 19A)? Does the proposed solution to continually add more strains to PCV raise any skepticism?
How about the practice of using an aluminum and chemical-laden "placebo" in vaccine clinical trials?
Speaking for myself,I’m not anti-vaccine; I believe they have a proper place in medicine. I am skeptical of the claims that continually dumping more and more antigens, adjudavants, and chemicals into the bloodstream of infants is good for them. I’m also skeptical that the vaccine manufacturers are motivated by the best interests of my children.

Dr. Amy says: "Their gullibility and lack of even the most basic knowledge of logical reasoning is truly astounding."
Actually, Dr. Amy, it is your gullibility and lack of even the most basic knowledge of logical reasoning that is truly astounding. All medical procedures (and this does include vaccinations) carry the risk of harm. Do you not get this logic? Do us all a favor and please remember to take your annual flu shot containing the "gentle bacteriostat" known as thimerosal. And when MF-59, or something similar is added to the flu vaccine mix to save costs for the pharmaceutical industry, and not to save anyone's life, please be sure and trust the ghost-written, industry-funded, safety and efficacy literature on that flu vaccine product, too.
If you want to play Russian roulette with your health, I say go for it! As for me, I do not plan to rev up my immune system via an unnecessary and toxic injection on an annual basis.

My beautiful 13 year old daughter was disabled by Gardasil. I saw it happen. I was an eyewitness to the tragedy that occurred. Her pediatrician would not believe it until the doctors at Duke University declared that it did.
Her Gardasil vaccine injury cost our family tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. And that was the least of our problems. What are the long term effects to my child?
These poor children are going to MD's such as the above that are uneducated in vaccine injury and who DO NOT report the injuries to VAERS.
What is it going to take for people to realize what the HPV Vaccines are doing to our children? I suppose possibly 50,000 deaths like VIOXX which was also produced by MERCK.
Please INVESTIGATE BEFORE YOU VACCINATE. I wish I had.
Go to http://sanevax.org/ to read many stories of injury and death from the HPV Vaccines.
Posted by: Rosemary Mathis | January 29, 2011 at 10:37 AM
@ Dr. Amy:
You can access via PubMed several studies that show a clear association with the development of auto-antibodies post vaccination in animals. Specifically anti-phospholipid auto-antibodies have been shown to develop as a result of flu and tetanus vaccines in animal studies. Shoenfeld, et al have several published studies on this auto-immune side effect of vaccines.
It's both sane and reasonable to suspect that Gardisil can also induce a transient auto-immune state whereby auto-antibodies circulate post vaccination.
Auto immune, anti-phospholipid antibodies are a known cause of miscarriages. Surely as an OB/GYN you know this.
Perhaps the animal studies might be of interest to you.
Because of the risk of the development of auto-antibodies post vaccination, imo, vaccines and pregnancy simply do not mix.
Unless of course you're okay with risking spontaneous abortion.

Oh and Amy Tuteur, MD:
You sound like my son's pediatrician, and my college professors (they had the speech down perfect)
Young Children are given vaccines and about that age they also seem to develop febrile seizures and other neurological events. Two events are not related, it just happens that way, I think that what they mean by the corrlation, causation junk.
But we are not into stats because we are real like, breathing, blood pumping human beings - the same human beings that did not have really smart talking scientists to claw our way out of the stone age into the industrial age. Each and every one of us observes and figures it out.
For example:
First DPT shot: my son developed a heart mumur
second DPT shot: my son passed out with a 105 temp
third DPT shot: six hours later my son developed a temperature and had a catonic stroke event.
My son today had PDD/NOS, epilepsy, and some type of chronic immune disorder going on.
You can get so hard hearted, never looking at the victims that you will soon put yourself into the company of some mighty cruel people.

You can try to divert attention from the point all you want, but it's all too apparent that this is an "argument" constructed for the extraordinarily gullible.
It makes as much sense as saying "puberty causes miscarriages" since there are more miscarriage events after puberty than before.
Vaccine rejectionists wonder why no one take them seriously and this is why. Their gullibility and lack of even the most basic knowledge of logical reasoning is truly astounding.

Amy Tuteur
The only STUPID person on this blog is YOU. This vaccine has absolutely no place in the pantheon of legitimate preventative medicine and health care. You must know for example that Gardisil only protects against TWO STRAINS of HPV. They later stated that it was suggestive of four strain protection at a paper done in Prague
"Earlier trials indicated that Gardisil is effective against two strains, type 16 and 18, of the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV) that are responsible for 75 percent of all cervical cancer.
But data presented at a medical conference in Prague suggested the Merck & Co' Inc's Cervical cancer vaccine may also protect against strains 31 and 45, which account for another 8 to 9 percent of cervical cancer cases"
Data presented at a medical conference in Prague? Data SUGGESTIVE that it MAY PROTECT against..
Amy you are kidding right? I mean you CANNOT BE THIS STUPID CAN YOU? Do you really take this as science? I mean SERIOUSLY Data in some third world country questioned by no one? At a conference paid for by Merck? Data Suggestive? May protect?
HA!!!! Nobody in any REAL scientific discipline would accept this horse shit as legitimate science. Where are the public trials with controls and swabs and petrie dishes and clinical correlations? Are they in Prague?
As a woman you should know that (since you went to medical school and presumably read at least SOME Robbins and Cotrane The Basis of Pathological disease) that the number 1 correlating factor BY FAR with the rise on the incidence of cervical cancer is the increase in the number of sexual partners.
Like it or not that is the deal, the more dogs you lay down with the greater your chance of getting up with fleas.
The mere exposure to HPV does not increase your risk, a woman must have a protracted chronic infection, typically as I recall for at least two years.
The average age of a cervical cancer patient is 48 years of age
and typically this disease affects less than 10,000 women in the US per year with a survival rate of 92 %.
Best guess, which presumably cannot be trusted, is that the vaccine will last only 4-5 years. further other strains will then become more dominant or you will create mutated new strains like they did with the oral polio vaccine.
So if you have a 9 year old, and it is being recommended for 9 year olds. She will have to get vaccinated every FOUR YEARS according to today’s information to maintain a immunological protective shield until she is 48.
Let's see now 9,13,17,21,25,29,33,37,41,45,49.
Just eleven separate vaccinations oh and remember it is a three shot series so that is THIRTY THREE INJECTIONS OF THIS SHIT. The vaccine is dangerous unproven and not efficacious, the person who designed the vaccine specifically stated it was not for children but why listen to her right?
The miscarriage rate will surely not be reported as related to the use of the Gardisil vaccine - IT WILL NEVER BE STUDIED IN THAT LIGHT and they will simply say that there is no evidence that Gardisil causes miscarriages. Just like there is no study that shows that VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM they do not want there to be one. Are you really a physician? Let me guess you are a pediatrician right?
Well Amy if you or your daughter intend on working in a bar on a pole that goes up to the ceiling and regularly entertaining the patrons after hours this vaccine may be a good fit for you. I do not intend on my children living that type of a lifestyle starting out in the third grade( that is what grade a 9 year old is in if you did not know)and yes I have that kind of influence over my family.
As far as the people on this web site go stick around you may learn something useful. There are several physicians that visit this web site who are well educated.
Here is your first pearl Look up CDIP - CHRONIC DEMYELINATING INFLAMMATORY POLYNEUROPATHY. This is thought to be a form of chronic Guillian Barre syndrome. One of my colleagues told me just yesterday that he has this disease and now must retire because as a surgeon he has lost his fine motor function and cannot operate any longer . He of course is devastated. When I asked him how he got it he explained that the neurologist informed him that it has been determined that CDIP is from the FLU VACCINE.
He told me he immediately thought about me. I hugged him and told him that I would help him.
I have been telling my colleagues about vaccine vehemently for years now I think they will now start to listen

@Dr. Amy
HPV is called out on the schedule for females 9 to 26 years of age. There are a very small number of pregnancies for girls 15 and under, presumably the age group with the highest uptake. (I can’t find the stats online, but that is my recollection. Please feel free to use your superior knowledge to correct me). In addition, there are a large numbers of pregnancies for women over 26 years of age, outside the CDC window for HPV vaccination. Finally, the schedule does not recommend HPV during pregnancy.
As a comparison, the CDC specifically recommends Td (tetanus and diphtheria) and influenza for all pregnant women. Yet the VAERS miscarriage counts for flu (seasonal, not H1N1) and Td vaccines are an order of magnitude below that of HPV. I’m sure committed OB/GYNs like Dr. Amy are making sure those shots are administered. I would bet far more women get the Td and flu vaccines than HPV, but move along folks, nothing to see here.
Your contemptuous dismissal of those that bring up safety concerns is exactly why you are loosing this battle. Here’s a quick PR lesson; people don’t like to be sneered at by the self-appointed elite just for asking a question. It may feel really good at the moment, but telling us to shut up and do what we’re told doesn’t cut it anymore.

Dr. Amy,
You need to educate yourself...there has NEVER been a study which included UN-VACCINATED children. The government refuses to look at that population and we all know the reason. Check your facts.

Dr Amy-
Besides having a very poor bedside manner you also write in the infamous "science-based" medicine style ("science-based" has become code for protecting the financial interest of Big Pharm and the Medical Industry):
http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/?p=3193
"Poisons exist, of course, but their existence is hardly a secret, and their actions are well known. Most poisons are naturally based, derived from plants or animals. Indeed, the chemicals responsible for more diseases than any others are nicotine (tobacco), alcohol (yeast) and opiates (poppies).
Nonetheless, “alternative” health advocates persist in subscribing to primitive theories of disease. For those who have limited understanding of science, primitive theories apparently make more sense."
Your kidding, right? Also, this comment, "Most poisons are naturally based" really is untrue, especially when we all know that Thimerosal is a man-made poison. I suggest reading, "The Age of Autism: Mercury, Medicine, and a Man-made Epidemic." You really will educate yourself quite a bit more.
PS- Having David Gorski hanging out on your blog defending you is quite the tell.

You seem to think this is surprising and means that Gardasil is dangerous, and that is absurd. It's hardly surprising that Gardasil, the ONLY vaccine given exclusively to women of reproductive age has more miscarriage EVENTS than other vaccines. Was anyone expecting that vaccines given to prepubertal children were going to be associated with miscarriages?
The number of miscarriages in MEANINGLESS! The only meaningful measurement is the miscarriage RATE (the number of miscarriages divided by the number of women who receive the Gardasil vaccine). And since the natural miscarriage rate is 20%, that number would need to be substantially higher than 20% to merit any consideration that Gardasil leads to miscarriage. But of course the NVIC article does not bother to mention the miscarriage rate.
This "finding" is shocking only in that some people are stupid enough to think it is meaningful.

Here's the link to a 2-page handout titled "Educate yourself":

Soon our public schools will be used as vaccination clinics. This is simply appalling. It's completely insane. Opposition to vaccine mandates should be a "litmus test" for elected office. Elected officials who support vaccine mandates should be voted out of office. Votes count to politicians. Votes are important to our Democracy.

re the link provided by Rachael:
I am guessing that the Dr. Marie McCormick who officially "looked" into a possible H1N1-miscarriages connection but found "absolutely no H1N1 vaccine-related adverse events," (quoting the press release) is the same Dr. McCormick who also headed the official IOM panel "investigation" into the possible vaccine-autism connection and announced, "The overwhelming evidence from several well-designed studies indicates that childhood vaccines are not associated with autism." -- Evidence of Harm, David Kirby, p. 356

Invasions of our privacy are becoming more and more common. One of our elected officials needs to step-up NOW and champion a bill which would outlaw mandated jabs of any kind.
“Charles Griffin, attorney, has asked the court for an injunction to stop AnMed from enforcing the mandated policy until a hearing is held on the suit. He said, “the state constitution provides that “citizens shall be free from unreasonable invasions of privacy’. Being forced to have an injection or something forced up one’s nostrils is clearly an invasion of privacy”.”

No kidding! This is such an understatement. How did we let the status quo deteriorate to this point? The state constitution? What about the federal U.S. Constitution? We don’t need a state-by-state piecemeal solution to this nightmare. Instead, we need a new Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that expressly protects medical freedom for all citizens.

patrons99, In regards to people making an informed decision, re: the gardasil vaccine; the video from the link you posted is a must see:

patrons99 and Jen, This is what two Canadian medical professionals Dr Richard Schabas and Dr Neil Rau had to say about pregnant women and the H1N1 vaccine; two truly professional MD's, who always kept it honest regarding H1N1:
"Pregnant women do have a higher risk of serious complications from H1N1 than the general population. This is hardly a surprise. We have known for decades that influenza is worse in pregnancy. But four times a very small risk of dying is still a very small risk – not much more than one in 300,000 for all pregnant women in North America and probably much less for those without chronic illnesses. The risks and benefits of immunization (and of Tamiflu treatment for the symptomatic) need to be weighed individually for pregnant women."

Why are the Christian conservatives so quiet on this important topic? Does anyone know? Real question.
In many respects, certain vaccine mandates can be likened to mandated abortion. Are we "free" to opt-out?

Rachael - great link to the progressiveconvergence.com info. Thank you. We need to teach our children well.

Miscarriages and infertility is most definitely not the worst thing that vaccines can do to us. Unless you thoroughly educate yourself on the subject of vaccine safety, you could be the next victim.
Disclosure: I am not a therapeutic nihilist. I believe in medical freedom. I believe that we all have a God-given right to opt for a natural or homeopathic health paradigm. Medical freedom is an inalienable human right. Biomedical recovery is a freedom that we all share. We cannot let our health freedom be taken away from us. This freedom needs to be protected in law.

Thanks, Rachael. After reading all those reports of stillbirth and miscarriage it really became clear to me that, never mind Andy Wakefield, this recommendation for pregnant women to get flu shots will shed light on the vaccine program and it's lack of safety testing all by itself! Can you imagine how strongly a woman would feel about future vaccines for her next child after what they went through? The smartest thing they could do to help themselves is to suspend vaccines for pregnant women. One mother who survived said her child was born with complications and she saved the baby teeth which had high amounts of mercury in them.

Jan, Here are some reports I came across regarding pregnant women and the H1N1 vaccine. The fourth one on the list alleges that the CDC falsified and ignored miscarriages reported to VAER's caused by the H1N1 vaccine.

Gross. The worst thing about H1n1 (and all flu vaccines) is how they are being pushed on pregnant women. I believe Gardasil is at least a vaccine they wouldn't think to be recommending if you were actually pregnant. Women beware!

Thanks to SANEVax, Dr. Stephen Rubin, and last but not least NVIC and Barbara Loe Fisher for their fight, and getting out the word on the horrors of vaccine damage.
THE reason the American media world ignores the carnage is simple: According to the massive health organization Henry J Kaiser Family Health Foundation (Kaiser Permanente, etc.), the recently ended year 2010 saw the American public purchasing $300 Billion dollars of doctor-prescribed drugs. That's $300,000,000,000.00.
According to other health studies, the makers of these pharma drugs spend 25% of their revenues ($75 Billion in 2010 in America) on PUBLIC ADVERTISING that pushes these drugs. Guess what? Advertising works.
Bottom line: American media gets advertising revenues of $75 Billion a year. Therefore, they clearly have a motive for failing to do investigative journalism that would show the horror of the drugs they advertise.

Great post, AoA!
I love the user-friendliness of the medalerts.org search engine. It is extremely helpful in recognizing patterns and "signals" related to vaccine safety.
Re: infertility jabs, generally -
Could their mechanism of toxicity relate to the ionophores? polysorbate 80? triton 100? Alternatively, might one of the "new" adjuvants be implicated? Alternatively, might there be a new toxic synergy, e.g., excipient-excipient interaction, jab-drug interaction, jab-jab interaction, jab-fluoride interaction, jab-terrain interaction, jab-germ interaction? jab-gene interaction?
If there is toxic synergy, the dose-response relationship will not be linear. Such a pattern of toxicity might be easier to recognize, if the disease marker, e.g. infertility, increases geometrically. What if infertility becomes transgenerational? Would that not pose risk to survival of the species? What if the infertility factor became vector-borne?
Does the invasiveness of the vaccine schedules make them portals of diseases?
MEDICAL FREEDOM NOW
END MEDICAL FACISM NOW
END VACCINE MANDATES NOW
EDUCATE BEFORE YOU VACCINATE
