My friend's daughter, Sierra, has been completely taken in by the pharmaceutical advertising campaign of "One less, one less." Her mother called me in aggravation after a trip to the pediatrician (who I had already told her was a complete jerk). The pediatrician started pushing the Gardasil vaccine and Sierra jumped in and said, "Mom, the commercial says, 'One less' so you need to get that for me." My friend (Julie) said, "No thanks. I want to research this a bit better." The doctor then got extremely snippy with her, her daughter got obnoxious...and she was forced to sign a release form...for NOT accepting the vaccine.
As it turns out "One less" might not be such a bad slogan. If the side effect of possible infertility side effect turns out to be common place, Mereck just found the answer to population control. By mandating this vaccine and forcing it on less-educated masses in urban areas, I'm sure some super-power somewhere has thought that this is a great way to "reduce the surplus population" - by doling out possible future heartache to millions of young girls. As for mandating the vaccination, An early version of the Virginia house bill contained a clause addressing liability issues "if a female who is inoculated with the HPV vaccine becomes incapable of naturally conceiving a healthy child carried to live birth or experiences impaired fertility as a result of the HPV vaccine".
I see this becoming a possible racist issue - with minorities being courted for vaccination. With pressure like my friend, Julie, was receiving, how will the less educated respond?
Here are some facts about Garadsil:
1) Merck outsourced some of its Gardasil trials to Contract Research Organizations (CROs) in the developing world,including JayaJan Pharmaceutical Research in India. CROs are part of a $14 billion industry that recruits subjects and runs trials for BigPharma. Conflicts of interest can arise when CROs are paid royalties only after a drug is approved rather than getting a set fee independent of results, or when CROs believe favorable findings will lead to future contracts. Merck spokesperson Amy Rose refused to specify how, or even if, the company oversees CROs.
This information comes from the article HPV vaccine: Betting on a Mercky record by Terry J. Allen
2) Gardasil contains Polysorbate 80, which is linked to infertility in mice
3) Gardasil contains sodium borate (a common roach killer) In 2005 the National Library of Medicine (NLM) of the National Institutes of Health noted that sodium borate βis now known to be a dangerous poison, it is no longer commonly used in medical preparations.β
4) Anyone receiving the full set of 3 vaccines would be receiving 675 mcg of aluminum. Aluminum is a toxic metal when injected into our bloodstreams and can adversely affect muscles, tissues, nerves and brain. There are also associations of Alzheimers with aluminum.
5) The price of Garasil is roughly $360 for the series of shots. Make this mandatory and Mereck's pockets will be lined with a few billion dollars fairly quickly.
6) As of July 2007, there were over 1600 reports of adverse affects of the Gardasil vaccine including three deaths.
7) Over 100 strains of the HPV virus have been described, approximately 30 of which can affect the human reproductive tract. The four strains targeted by Gardasil comprise: - #16 and #18, the two strains out of more than 20 oncogenic (cancer-causing) types that are responsible for 60β70% of cervical cancer cases;
- plus #6 and #11, two of the many other strains associated with genital warts.
By the way, viruses are known for mutating. So while Gardasil is promoted as giving protection against four high risk strains of HPV, could an opening arise for more virulent strains to emerge, should the vaccine succeed in decimating these particular four?

Happy news: My daughter and her husband are moving just over a mile down the road. Hurray!

Today's workout: 25 minutes HIIT on the treadmill. 25 minutes of circuit training. 25 minutes HIIT on the elliptical. Finishing off with most of P90X Back & Biceps (35 minutes worth - I didn't need the warm-up, had no time for the cooldown...or the last 5 minutes of weight work).
One thing negative about P90X... I feel that the focus is more male-oriented, even though there is at least one woman in every DVD working out along with the men. And this is why I feel it is male-oriented: lots of back and bicep work yet only ONE day of leg work (and it is combined with more back work). We women like to work on our thighs and our butts. If you're going for the perfect bubble butt, then one day of glute work is not enough. You can keep your weights lower and your repetitions higher and therefore prevent over-muscling while working out the "glamour" muscles so much (biceps, triceps)... Now perhaps he's thinking his Kenpo workout is enough on the legs. I don't know, not for me. I do know this: squats and deadlifts are the BEST, so I've been squeezing in an extra round. Also, on chest day he focuses on lots and lots of pushups. I miss pec flys. Women want to know the girls are going to get extra help resisting gravity and strong pecs give some security there.
Other than that, I love P90X. :)
 | I wouldn't give that vacine to my kids! Good post! |
| Gardasil isn't being pushed here yet as they're still evaluating it though if people ask for it it is available privately. |
 | It's too bad your readership isn't a bit higher, because you give some well thought out and backed up information. This one could save a lot of heartache if more people read it. |
 | wow. count me as one of the uneducated. i had no idea of it's connections to possible infertility. if you don't mind, i'd like to copy this part of your blog and e-mail it to spread the word especially since it's so well written. thanks for the blog |
 | I told my daughter DO NOT get this for my grand daughter. So many drugs are pushed at woman and we are just guinea pigs. I am gonna steal this if you dont mind to send to my daughter. Sadly .....my dad used to work for this company. Hes been retired many yrs now but it used to be a great place to work for. Now these companies are greedy money machines and an embarrassment. Ironically my dad gets any meds this company makes for free. My folks are part of all this mess with these old folks taking too many meds. Dad says they take 27 between them . Ive been trying to convince him to get these DRs to reduce or eliminate some. ..........but its not happening. :( |
 | I had already decided not to get this for my daughter. I have friends who jump on every vaccine bandwagon that comes along just because someone says they need it.
I wasn't goign to do the chickenpox vaccine for either of my kids. My oldest got the pox but my youngest wouldn't be admited into school without it here in Florida so I had to get it for her. Made me mad!! |
| Before I go passing this info along, can you site it? |
