Gardasil is useless and costs a fortune! In addition, decision-makers at all levels are aware of it!
Cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome, paralysis of the lower limbs, vaccine-induced MS and vaccine-induced encephalitis can be found, whatever the vaccine.
I predict that Gardasil will become the greatest medical scandal of all times because at some point in time, the evidence will add up to prove that this vaccine, technical and scientific feat that it may be, has absolutely no effect on cervical cancer and that all the very many adverse effects which destroy lives and even kill, serve no other purpose than to generate profit for the manufacturers.
Should anyone really be surprised? When will more pharma people be speaking out? When will we read that "Vaccines cause autism. In addition, decision-makers at all levels are aware of it!
What you will not read in the mainstream media, however, is that both the BMJ and Lancet have strong financial ties to the manufacturer of the MMR vaccine. (See: BMJ & Lancet Wedded to Merck CME Partnership) You probably also did not read that Dr. Andrew's co-author in the study, Prof. John Walker-Smith, fought an expensive legal battle against the United Kingdom's General Medical Council and won. He was completely exonerated.
It is clear that Dr. Wakefield will remain that scapegoat in the vaccine debate. At all cost, no official wants anyone to honestly and thoroughly investigate what Wakefield found.
They point to what they say are alarming statistics showing a gender gap in education. Fewer boys than girls graduate high school. Boys are disciplined more often than girls. And boys are outnumbered by girls on college campuses. ...
As part of the effort, the group released a 56-page white paper written by Dick Jacobs, a retired lawyer, about boys. He contends that boys have been hurt by cuts to recess and physical education, rising academic standards in kindergarten and zero-tolerance discipline policies.
This is another worthless topic. The gender difference is a "looming crisis"? Not really. There's only a call here for awareness.
It's been talked about a lot before. NO ONE SEES A REAL PROBLEM. Why are boys falling behind? It's how we educate boys, read to them and how much TV they watch. Our kids are coming apart right before our eyes and we treat it like a curiosity.
We have a one in 68 autism rate (one in 42 boys). We ask for awareness about that too.
To the chagrin of the Community Action Program of Belknap-Merrimack Counties, which operates Concord's public transportation system, CAP belatedly learned that the ad agency it uses rented billboard space on the city's buses to the so-called National Vaccine Information Center, a group that uses pseudo-science and fear to persuade parents not to vaccinate their children...
First of all, NVIC is not "anti-vaccine." However in the world of blind trust and compliance when it comes to vaccinations, we can't have anyone suggesting there might be a problem. I posted seven comments.
The pro-vaccine side has the weight of the scientific community and evidence, while the anti-vaccine side has anecdotal reports, unsubstantiated claims and conspiracy theories.
Doctors can only talk like this if they shut their eyes to what autism is doing to our children. Unless and until there is a vaccinated/unvaccinated study, the question remains open. I posted a number of comments.
Early next year, Kier's mother plans to start using the home as a meeting place for parents of autistic children seeking answers to a worrying question: Where will my child live as an adult?
About 500,000 children with autism in the United States will become adults in the next 10 years, according to advocacy group Autism Speaks. Advocates say there won't be enough housing for them all.
Why do we have to ask where all the autistic adults are going to live? Why don't we have them everywhere? Don't we have the same percentage of adults as kids with autism? Questions no one asks. (I posted my usual comment.)
I'm getting my share of comments on Huffington...Kevin Weinberg called me a "baby killer" and "a bad person." (I don't know why he had to add the bad person remark---if I'm a baby killer, it goes without saying that I must be pretty bad.)
Ken Reibel said, "You have got to be the worst media editor ever." (Since I've never known anyone else with the title "media editor," there really aren't a lot of people to compare me to. I might be the worst---or the best ever.)
Brian Deer showed up after one of my comments, posting this below.... (It's now been taken down. It didn't make sense. I posted comments challenging what Deer said.)
Deer's comment:
Brian Deer · University of Warwick
If Jenny McCarthy is concerned about the safety of vaccines, she should agree that her son Evan is examined and tested by an independent panel of experts, including her own Dr Kartzinel. She should open his medical records to that panel, and agree to full genetic investigation.
Not long ago, Evan's grandmother volunteered the information publicly that Evan showed signs of developmental issue before his MMR. Ms McCarthy should help put the matter to rest.
But she won't.
Q. What is your opinion on whether vaccines can cause autism? I have read that it is wise to look at both pro-vaccine and anti-vaccine information, then make up my own mind.
A. This question has been the subject of many different studies since a paper in 1998 suggested a link between the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine and autism. The study has since been retracted by the journal, and the lead author subsequently lost his ability to practice medicine after a medical council found him guilty of misconduct.
A review of the important studies on the lack of link between autism and vaccines is available HERE..
The pro-vaccine side has the weight of the scientific community and evidence, while the anti-vaccine side has anecdotal reports, unsubstantiated claims and conspiracy theories.
Unfortunately, the anecdotal reports are scary, and no parent wants to take an unnecessary chance. But we shouldn't make important decisions about our children's health based on bad evidence.
The two sides aren't equal. Every medical society has looked at the good effects and the bad ones of the MMR (and other) vaccines and has recommended them. The benefits of protecting against life-threatening illness far outweigh the small -- but not zero -- risks of the vaccines.
I'm sick to death of doctors who can't tell us why so many kids have autism and yet defend vaccines without knowing what they're talking about. I bothered to comment here because this is THE TWIN CITIES...
Minneapolis and St. Paul. A good chance to post this about the book Symposium....
MALL OF AMERICA NOVEMBER 1, 2014
On Saturday, November 1st Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and 9 other authors will gather to discuss their books on the most hotly debated topic in health today - vaccinations. The eight books cover vaccine ingredients, their impact on child health, the corrupt approval and regulatory process, and the dismal performance of the media in honestly reporting on these topics.
Jenny McCarthy might be the celebrity poster child for the anti-vaccine movement, but she is once again saying she's not really anti-vaccine.
The Daily Beast's Lloyd Grove broached the subject of vaccines while speaking with the former "View" co-host recently. Although her publicist attempted to shut down the discussion, McCarthy was willing to talk.
"I am not anti-vaccine," McCarthy told the Daily Beast. "I'm in this gray zone of, I think everyone should be aware and educate yourself and ask questions. And if your kid is having a problem, ask your doctor for an alternative way of doing the shots."
...After McCarthy's April op-ed was published, Kluger responded with an open letter disputing McCarthy's very own disputes, saying: "You are either floridly, loudly, uninformedly antivaccine or you are the most grievously misunderstood celebrity of the modern era."
Jenny McCarthy may say she's pro vaccine, but we know it's not true. Anyone who says anything against vaccine is ANTI-VACCINE. No one can take her seriously. (I posted five comments.)
The people we elect aren't the ones calling the shots, says Tufts University's Michael Glennon
Though it's a bedrock American principle that citizens can steer their own government by electing new officials, Glennon suggests that in practice, much of our government no longer works that way. In a new book, "National Security and Double Government," he catalogs the ways that the defense and national security apparatus is effectively self-governing, with virtually no accountability, transparency, or checks and balances of any kind. He uses the term "double government": There's the one we elect, and then there's the one behind it, steering huge swaths of policy almost unchecked. Elected officials end up serving as mere cover for the real decisions made by the bureaucracy.
I like the term used here, "Unelected officials"
Michael Glennon talks about national security issues and "double government." Why should anyone think that it's the only area of unchecked government?
Interesting that the Boston Globe published this. They've never honestly reported on vaccine safety issues. The media is the real reason there are "concealed institutions" with no accountability.

******************
What a joke that is . If you ask a pro-vaccine nut for scientific proof of vaccine efficacy, they'll either ignore the question outright, or chastise you for daring to question what "history" has taught us.
What could be more anecdotal than some unsubstantiated, historical account of the past, that was written by God knows who???

Boston Globe:
"There's the one we elect, and then there's the one behind it, steering huge swaths of policy almost unchecked. Elected officials end up serving as mere cover for the real decisions made by the bureaucracy."
As I have often said .. it does not matter who sits in the Oval Office .. what really matters is who that person sitting in the Oval Office "appoints" to administer various "regulatory agencies" .. such as .. the FDA, CDC, HHS, FAA, NTSB, EPA, on and on. That is the ONLY reason that entire industries .. such as .. pharmaceutical, finance, energy, defense, transportation .. on and on .. give generous campaign funds to BOTH established political parties.
Indeed, it is the "unseen" .. "unelected" .. "appointed" .. czars of regulatory agencies .. whose highest priority is to protect the "industries" they regulate .. by instituting policies and programs that serve the best interests of those industries .. rather than the people they are supposed to be serving.
Consider the qualifications .. or .. lack of same .. of the newly installed czar overseeing our nation's response to the EBOLA outbreak? Indeed, consider the "political" resume of ANYONE in the last two decades appointed by BOTH parties to serve 4 or 8 year terms as Health and Human Services Secretary ..

Anne says (above) "Brian Deer showed up after one of my comments, posting this below.... (It's now been taken down. It didn't make sense. I posted comments challenging what Deer said.)"
If Deer's comment (also reproduced by Anne above) was removed by HuffPo, possibly on the advice of their lawyers, then this hopefully will be noticed by other mainstream news and media outlets. These days Deer's manic ramblings, on Scienceblogs and other pro vax, pro GMO , pro nuclear, anti all and any alternative health strategies, blogs, are becoming more and more fanciful and vindictive, spreading hate filled rhetoric targeted at any and every person he sees as an 'enemy'; these include vitually ANYONE who has ever questioned vaccine safety, including all parents of autistic children. AoA is regularly targeted by Deer, Reiss and the other assorted trolls and commenters on these sites.
In the UK, only the Sunday Times, (purchased by Murdoch to improve the 'image' of his news empire, and losing money 'hand over fist'), gives an occasional platform to Deer to spout his poison. I hope even Murdoch, will soon realise just what an unstable liability Deer is.
