First, the vaccines are known to have serious risks. The threat of blood clots, seizure, paralysis, outbreak of warts, and sudden death has been documented in thousands of adverse event reports obtained by Judicial Watch under Freedom of Information law. The risks may be small for most of the women and girls who receive the vaccines (administered in a series of three shots), but they are nonetheless real.

Girls and women who are not sexually active are not at risk of contracting HPV. Merck lobbyists pushed to make the shots mandatory for all school girls as young as 9 years old. However, unless those 9-year-olds are sexually active, their chances of becoming infected with HPV and developing cervical cancer are zero.

Women who receive regular pap screenings are at minimal risk of developing cervical cancer because testing will detect precancers if they are present. Precancerous cells can be treated safely and effectively with traditional therapies to prevent the development of cancer.

The incidence of cervical cancer among women who do not receive screening or vaccination is about 90 per 100,000. According to Dr. Diane Harper, who is widely regarded as the top expert on HPV and the Gardasil vaccine, “the combination of HPV vaccine and screening in the U.S. will not decrease the incidence of cervical cancer to any measurable degree at the population level.” That assertion contradicts the claims of some HPV vaccine advocates.

So who might HPV vaccines benefit? Sexually active women who don’t receive regular pap tests would benefit the most, but only if they are willing to assume the risk of being either injured by the vaccine or, in the rare event, killed. For the vast majority of women, the risks of receiving Gardasil or Cervarix vaccinations simply outweigh any benefits.

Pap smears are screening tests used by gynecologists to detect cervical cancer cells. Changes in the cell processes signal the development of cervical cancer and prompt the physician to start treatment.

According to Dr. Harper, “Pap smears have never killed anyone. Pap smears are an effective screening tool to prevent cervical cancer. Pap smears alone prevent more cervical cancers than can the vaccines alone.”

“Gardasil is associated with serious adverse events, including death,” Dr. Harper explained. “If Gardasil is given to 11-year-olds, and the vaccine does not last at least 15 years, then there is no benefit – and only risk – for the young girl.”

Without boosters, Gardasil vaccines remain effective for five years.

“Vaccinating will not reduce the population incidence of cervical cancer if the woman continues to get Pap screening throughout her life,” Dr. Harper added.

Dr. Harper told Yerman in a written communication that she disagreed with Merck’s campaign to make the vaccine mandatory for school-age girls.

“The decision to be vaccinated must be the woman’s (or parent’s if it is for a young child), and not the physician’s or any board of health, as the vaccination contains personal risk that only the person can value.”

The choice to receive the Gardasil vaccine “is entirely a personal value judgment,” Dr. Harper said.

When asked about Merck’s “one less” marketing campaign, Dr. Harper told Yerman that it “was designed to incite the greatest fear possible in parents, so that there would be uptake of the vaccine.”

“If women were participating in Pap screening, or if as a parent you educated your daughter to seek Pap screening at the appropriate age (21 years) for her entire life, then she would have been very unlikely to be at risk for being “one” and would not be “one less,” Dr. Harper told Yerman.

“She would not have been ‘one’ to begin with!”

Preventative measures and current treatments are already lowering the occurrence of HPV and cervical cancer faster than the vaccination could, Dr. Harper said, explaining that the cervical cancer rate will be reduced more than 91 percent in 60 years time without the vaccination.

But Dr. Harper’s explanation of Gardasil’s uselessness wasn’t as eye-opening or alarming as some of her other allegations. In light of Merck’s aggressive lobbying efforts to make Gardasil mandatory for school-age girls, it’s especially upsetting that Dr. Harper told her audience that the manufacturer never conducted any safety or efficacy trials in girls under 15 years old and that vaccinating young girls en masse amounted to “a great big public health experiment.”

That Merck would develop an unnecessary vaccine, force it on the public, and then take a “wait and see” approach to gauge its safety is unconscionable. One can only imagine the dollar signs Merck’s leadership saw as they looked upon a whole nation of girls unvaccinated against HPV.

Any corporation like Merck that holds the health of millions in its grasp wields a staggering amount of power. It should upset the millions of American moms and dads that Merck regards their young daughters as guinea pigs – the unwitting subjects of a vaccination experiment destined to add billions more dollars to its corporate coffers. How many health professionals and medical organizations have been swayed by Merck’s political lobbying, financial rewards, misinformation and other abuses of that power?

A lot, I suspect. My younger sister has four daughters who range in age from 16 years to 2. When she takes her two oldest daughters for check ups, the pediatrician typically tells her she should have them vaccinated against HPV with injections of Gardasil. Most recently, the doctor pressured my sister to have her 11-year-old vaccinated.

Fortunately, my sister decided to research the vaccine before agreeing to the shots and has said no.

“It’s such a shame that companies are allowed to prey on kids like that,” my sister told me, adding that she is glad she has repeatedly told the doctors “no” to the shots in light of the news that they are dangerous and potentially deadly to some girls.

Since Gardasil first appeared in 2006, 15,037 inoculated girls have reported adverse side effects to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Reactions that have been officially reported include brain inflammation, seizures, blood clots, paralysis, lupus, Guilliane Barre Syndrome, and several others. 44 deaths attributed to the vaccine have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

If what Dr. Harper says is true, then all 44 of those deaths were completely unnecessary. That even more women and girls will be sacrificed for Merck’s bottom line as Gardasil shots are unnecessarily doled out is nothing less than criminal.
