Today Americans are losing trust in the pharmaceutical companies that make drugs and vaccines. People are even beginning to question the federal agencies that recommend them, due to the devastating side effects and diseases that they produce.
One only needs to watch television to become acquainted with the many so call side effects that prescription drugs have in store for their clients. Many times these side effects are much worse than the actual problem. The lists of scary prescription drugs is long and even the commercials tell you to contact you doctor to decide if this drug is right for you. Some commercials state that if you have been taken a certain drug and feel better, you should not stop.
Even worse than prescription drugs is the use of mandatory vaccinations. This is the case with the vaccine, Gardasil. Gardasil is a vaccine that is supposed to guard young girls against the human papillomavirus (HPV) that can lead to cancer of the cervix, vagina and anus. Several states have proposed requiring the vaccine be given to all schoolgirls entering the 6th grade. The fast track licensure of the vaccine and its universal use recommendation has launched a petition and issued a national press release calling on President Obama, his administration and congress to investigate Gardasil. One obvious question is why more than 10,000 reports of Gardasil-related reaction, injures and deaths being dismissed by federal health officials as “coincidence”.
Serious health problems such as stroke, blood clots, cardiac arrest, seizures, fainting, lupus and even death were associated with the vaccine Gardasil. Regardless of this, the maker of Gardasil, maintains a rather cavalier attitude towards these serious health problems and deaths. As of Sept. 1, 2009, 44 deaths in the U.S. have been reported among females who received Gardacil.
Other vaccines have also come into question in the past. Over the past 27 years the stories of deaths and brain damage that have been reported to the National Vaccine Information Center have not changed. A trusting parent takes a bright, healthy child to a doctor for a routine vaccination and that child is never the same again.
