HPV Vaccine Researcher Drops Bombshell At NVIC Conference

Dr Diane Harper, a lead researcher in the development of the humanpapilloma virus vaccine

Dr Diane Harper, lead researcher in the development of two human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, said the controversial drugs will do little to reduce cervical cancer rates and are being recommended for girls as young as nine. During a 2007 interview with KPC News.com, she said giving the vaccine to girls as young as 11 years-old “is a great big public health experiment.” Dr Harper dropped an even bigger bombshell on the audience when she announced that, “There have been no efficacy trials in girls under 15 years.” Dr Harper, director of the Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Research Group at the University of Missouri, made these remarks during an address at the NVIC 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination which took place in Reston, Virginia on Oct. 2-4.

Experts Warn - Serious Adverse Events From Untested Swine Flu Vaccines

Programs for vaccination against the new influenza A/H1N1 targeting many hundred million citizens in Europe and the USA are to be launched in the fall of this year. The European nations are opting for inclusion of MF59, the adjuvant contained in an alternative seasonal flu vaccine, or the related adjuvant AS03 that is contained in a recently developed H5N1 vaccine. Evidence from animal experiments in conjunction with clinical epidemiological data indicates that, quite irrespective of cause, stimulation of the immune system may accelerate atherogenesis. Application of adjuvanted flu vaccines to individuals at risk may therefore aggravate the course of underlying atherosclerotic vessel disease with all the clinical consequences. The same may hold true for other widespread diseases that are propelled by deregulated immune mechanisms. Safety trials conducted to date have not specifically taken these possible side effects into account, and unexpected serious adverse effect s thus may follow in the wake of a general vaccination program.

Fourth Person Dies In Sweden From Swine Flu Shot

The news that a fourth person has died after taking the "swine flu" jab in Sweden is focussing attention on the failure of the Swedish Medical Products Agency (MPA) to halt the "swine flu" programme even as reports of serious side effects flood in. The EMEA derives three-quarters of its funding from pharmaceutical companies. The "swine flu" jab has been authorised for use only on condition that governments and companies implement "post-authorisation" studies to check it is safe and effective. However, the MPA in Sweden appears to have limited its role in collecting data on death and damage to spontaneous reports from doctors and patients.
