Gardasil linked to MS symptoms

THE cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil has triggered multiple sclerosis (MS)
symptoms in some girls after being inoculated.

Doctors said the victims were either teenagers or women in their early 20s
who may have been predisposed to MS or who had a prior history of symptoms.

St Vincent's Hospital neurologist Dr Ian Sutton reported five cases in a
journal article in January. Another five have since emerged.

"Gardasil vaccination is not the cause of MS; whether or not it was a
trigger for episodes of inflammation in the brain in these rare cases is
unclear," Dr Sutton said.

Did you read that bit, John?


All cases were in women aged under 26, the target group of a vaccination
program that began in 2007.

Symptoms began within three weeks of vaccination and lasted from weeks to
months.

Lasted a few months - then it wasn't MS, was it? All the girls got
better.


"We have raised the question: has the vaccine modified what may have
occurred anyway or just been an additional trigger?" Dr Sutton said.

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) last week said six million doses
of Gardasil - created by scientist and former Australian of the Year Ian
Frazer - had been distributed in Australia, and 1476 suspected adverse
reactions had been reported to the regulator.

Wow! 1476 reports after 6 million doses, and a lot of those reports
were of young girls fainting after the injection. Did anybody die? Did
anybody fail to recover?


"The TGA is also aware of a small number of cases in which neurological
symptoms, similar to those experienced in patients with a dedemyelinating
disorder such as multiple sclerosis, have been reported shortly after HPV
(human papillomavirus vaccination)," the regulator said.

The cases involving neurological symptoms have been investigated by an
independent panel.

The vaccine has been tested on more than 30,000 women worldwide, its
manufacturer CSL said.

So much for the liars saying it wasn't tested.


"In spite of reports of some neurological symptoms occurring after
vaccination, when those have been investigated no causative relationship
with the vaccine has been determined," company spokeswoman Rachel David
said.
