Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now # 12317: 11:02 am PST, Feb 14, Shelly Wingert, Kansas My daughter received the shot on 7/8/2007 by the 23 she was in the hospital with diabetes. Now she is in pain everyday, body is swelling on and off, can't find a dr to confirm it is from the gardasil shot. She is on meds to keep her from vomiting daily. Amomg just some of her issues. Please investigte this. # 12284: Feb 11, 2010, Leslie Wondoloski, New Jersey My 11 year old received her shots last year and she has been having headaches and major stomach aches. I am hearing the same thing from a lot of parents. What do I do? # 12281: Feb 11, 2010, Mary Vago, Wisconsin This vaccine has ruined my life. I have been suffering the side effects from the first two doses of Gardasil for 14 months. Thank God I figured out what my "mystery illness" was caused from before getting the third injection. Unfortunately others are not as lucky. Please stop this from happening to other people # 12255: Feb 7, 2010, Katie Potter-Shermer, Virginia After hearing what my cousin went through and is still going through today because of this vaccine I will personally not allow my daughter who is only 20 months old get this shot. I believe this vaccine has done more harm than good that it says it would. A fairly new vaccine always makes me leery and because my family has personally dealt with the outcome of this vaccine, my daughter will not get it! More research must be done and truly list the side effects. I was in the age range when the vaccine came out and I choose not to get it. I thank god everyday that I did make that decision and I am glad because who knows what would have happened to me and to my kids. # 12251: Feb 6, 2010, Pamela DeCosta, Massachusetts my daughter is 12 years and is unable to walk RICHARD DECOSTA # 12236: Feb 5, 2010, Carolyn Stauber, Wisconsin My ex took daughter on his own, and I do all the running around to doctor to find out, gee, why the underarm mass, gee, she seems like she has cancer, boy, she has been sick like she has leukaemia, why is she having so much female pains, why is she pale, why is she tired. SHE HAD THE DAM VACCINE AGAINST MY WILL, after reading all this info on the internet l am terrified my daughter will die. Carolyn Stauber from Wisconsin # 12213: Feb 4, 2010, Heather Kresl, Indiana Two dear friends of ours have had many ongoing issues with their daughters. They have endured countless hospital visits along with astronomical medical bills. If there is any correlation between their problems and this shot- PLEASE do something so no one else has to suffer like they have. # 12201: Feb 3, 2010, Linda Dyer, Florida I personally know of one young lady who has taken 2 out of the 3 vaccines. This "vaccine has TOTALLY DESTROYED HER LIFE. This beautiful, once healthy and vibrant young lady, Shelby Nicole, took 2 of the 3 vaccines, and since then has suffered seizures, fatigue, massive hair loss, inabilities for her body to build immunities to certain virus'....over all decline in health. Shelby has gone through going to school and the humility of having a seizure in front of all of her friends, and the Principal telling her parents that she should be taken out of school. Please, please pull this vaccine from the market until further testing is done. Testing will show how dangerous this drug is. Merek shame on you. I really respect Merck because of all the help that they give people, and I find it hard to believe that they are truly "just" worried about the profits. Thank you. # 12196: Feb 3, 2010, Jackie Rhind, New Zealand Why is it on an FDA document in 2005 that you HPV does NOT cause cervical cancer and yet a vaccine has been approved by the FDA to supposedly vaccinate against 4 out of (20)? and supposedly stop cervical cancer. LOL. Yes my daughter has had 2 out of 3 shots. The third shot would of killed her. Naturopath has helped her recover. 12173: Feb 2, 2010, Ken Nordin, Indiana Two families we are friends with daughters that have had the shot and both have had seizures # 12152: Feb 2, 2010, Anonymous, Ohio My daughter received the first two shots of Gardasil and has became increasingly sick ever since she received the first shot. This is usual for her because before this she was rarely sick. Now, it seems like every time we turn around she is sick yet again. Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now # 12127: Feb 1, 2010, David Kierstead, Federated States of Micronesia A young lady who attended the school at which I teach has been tragically affected by this vaccine. She is a very strong academic student who put many hours of service into the school and community, and is greatly missed. # 12111: Jan 31, 2010, Anonymous, Michigan The daughter of a good friend has experienced seizures, and has been diagnosed with lupus. The symptoms started shortly after receiving her first shot. # 12101: Jan 31, 2010, Nancy Woloshin, Florida I have watched a teenaged dear friend suffer with seizures, fatigue, hair loss, dizziness, decreased immune response, and many other issues since having her 2nd dose of Gardasil. My daughter will NOT have this vaccine! I am an RN and usually advocate the administration of childhood vaccines, but I draw the line at this one. # 12097: Jan 31, 2010, Tanya Coke, New Jersey My daughter experienced such severe headache, dizziness and fatigue after the first shot that she could not attend school for three days. She sobbed when I suggested taking her for the second shot months later. We reported the symptoms to the doctor and never went back for the 2nd or 3rd shot. She is still tired and gets headaches when she never did before. I wonder whether these are long-lasting side effects? # 12093: Jan 31, 2010, Juliyen Bouknight, Oregon Now my daughters have one shot of the 3 series. I did not want them to have that one. The nurse convinced them to have it and they in turn asked me to agree. I regret not following my instincts. I pray for our young people survive being used by the legal drug corporations. 12092: Jan 31, 2010, Melissa Dennis, Illinois my cousin got the shot and has been very sick. I will not be giving my daughters the shot! # 12090: Jan 31, 2010, Jennifer Hontucan, California My friend's daughter experienced numbness, and pain in her joints after the first shot. The nurse put a lot of pressure on them to get the shot, even though my friend was reluctant. Now she knows better. Her daughter underwent a detoxification diet to pull out the toxins and feels much better now. # 12072: Jan 30, 2010, Anonymous, Michigan There is a 17 year old girl in our community at this moment that is fighting for her life after receiving two injections. She had a reaction after the first shot and eventually it went away. The second shot gave her another reaction that has put her in the hospital and she has been given a diagnosis of a type of cancer. People are doing fundraising trying to help out the family. I hear she is on a vent going through treatments! Need I say more...stop this vaccine from hurting those we love! # 12068: Jan 30, 2010, Kailey Weitzel, Florida I know someone who took the garadsil shot, and she now has seizures on a regular basis and is always in the hospital. There is NO cure and it is ridiculous after how many girls have died, and how many girls have had their life greatly impacted that the medicine is STILL out there being given. This is insane, and it needs to be stopped! # 12061: Jan 30, 2010, Tammy Goodman, Ohio As a registered nurse at a university hospital for the past 22 years, it saddens me to see where health care has gone! The focus has changed from prevention through nutrition and healthy lifestyle, to one of " pushing pharmaceuticals" for that instant cure by way of commercials and doctors. These medical students and residents by the way have minimal training in nutrition and supportive supplements which they desperately need. The big pharmaceutical companies have HUGE financial gains by pushing their agenda particularly on our physicians. AND THAT unfortunately is where healthcare has gone. Goodluck at trying to find a physician who doesn’t want to write you a prescription and would like to talk to you about food and nutrition. America's unhealthy lifestyle, and lack of exercise. We have become a TOXIC America-popping prescriptive drugs for that quick cure which causes side effects that you take another drug for. None of this unfortunately gets to the true health issue at stake. And the vaccine issue is no different. In the hospital years back when we had a glass thermometer that broke, the mercury was considered a hazardous spill and "not to touch". Why would it be acceptable to put this in our vaccines.The marketing of this vaccine is utilizing a scare tactic to prevent CANCER to sell it.I think Gardasil is being deceptive by saying it will PREVENT cancer when really it prevents venereal warts which is related to a higher risk of cancer. No wonder young girls are being hurt so tragically. Time to take it off the market and look at the BIG picture of how pharmaceutical companies affect our health. Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now # 12034: Jan 30, 2010, Sarah Oswald, Florida It's killing my friend. Why would you want to kill someone?! By keeping Gardasil on the market, you're allowed innocent women to suffer and die. You're shortening a life that could change the world. Thou shall not kill. # 12031: Jan 30, 2010, Hillary Fisher, Florida Several of my friends have gotten the vacccine which has resulted in seizures. Too many negative side effects have resutlted from Gardisil. It MUST be stopped. # 12023: Jan 30, 2010, Janice Smith, Texas As a registered nurse I am appalled at the limited testing done prior to shoving this drug on the market. This is a big powerful company with the ability to do much good. . .or bad. What is more important, human lives or making a big, fast profit. I expect more of a company of this magnitude. # 12017: Jan 29, 2010, Irma Arroyo-Long, California Right after the vaccination my daughter's arm was very sore, I told her it would go away in a day or so. It persisteded for two weeks. I called and was told this was common. Soon after her feet began to numb when sitting, this has not gone away almost 3 1/2 years later. Next she began to complain of mild headaches. Still persistent, told not associated with vaccine. Later numbness to her finger tips, later pain across her chest. This all in a previously absolutely health athletic young girl. Next came the sudden sharp headaches stopping her tracks for 3-5 minutes at a time. Then they are suddenly gone. Later was the feeling of tingling and numbness from the top of the head cascading along her body "like a waterfall Mommy, it scares me ...what wrong with me whats happening?" This happens while she running and playing. It's enough to stop a very competetive field hockey player. It's scarry enough to cause her to sit with her head in my lap for over an hour at a field hockey tournament. She should have been laughing with her friends. Next came the sudden chest pains, once again enough to cause her to stop playing or laughing, in all aftr an MRI blood test and several appointment with the neurologist we're tolding nothing is wrong. I tell you what is wrong...I trusted the FDA with my daughter's health and you have compromised all in the name of a huge corporation. I didn't believe that we lived in the United Corporation of America but now I do. Please for the sake of MY child investigate this drug. Help my sixteen year find a reason for these things help live in peace. If my daughter dies from this I WILL BE IN WASHINTON I WILL FIGHT TO MAKE YOU ACCOUNTABLE I WILL LIVE MY LIFE FOR ONLY THIS PURPOSE. WE HAVE SYSTEMS IN PLACE PLEASE I BEG OF YOU DON'T LET ANOTHER OF OUR DAUGHTERS BE HARMED. PLEASE DO WHAT WE HAVE TRUSTED YOU TO DO. INVESTIGATE BUT START BY PULLING IT OFF THE MARKET. As for me I will continue to worry whenever my daughter is out of site each day I send her to school, at least I know her friends are watching out for her, you see their doctors didn't recommend it she's the only one that got it. Thank God # 12015: Jan 29, 2010, Kim Venckus, Texas Nothing has ever made me wish for a single day back as this event of giving my daughter a Gardasil shot. I would have rather fought cancer with my daughter, together, than to have the guilt of having subjected her to such a painful, debilitating and lonely flight against this "untitled" ailment of Post-Gardasil life. The one commonality of cancer and this is that they both strip the life out of your body slowly, leaving a carcass of your previous life. Please take Gardasil OFF the safe list. I would hate to see another child suffer these side-effects. DON'T USE OUR CHILDREN FOR YOUR TRIALS! # 12005: Jan 29, 2010, Tracie Monson, Canada My daughter sustained neurological and immunological damage from the hepatits b vaccine given to her at birth. While there is ample evidence this vaccine has severely injured and even killed many (and it is no longer administered at birth in France) the current climate around vaccines prevents proper inquiry. I live with terribly, terribly hard questions about what will happen for my child. Our lives have been irrevocably changed. Please let's begin to honestly investigate vaccine reactions so we can determine who will not tolerate vaccines well and what constitues a safer schedule. # 11995: Jan 29, 2010, Anonymous, Texas As a nurse I find the push for this vaccine prior to adequate safety testing a disgrace. Once again the consumer is the victim with dishonest marketing in order for the pharmaceutical companies and government agencies to profit. This is why so many parents refuse to vaccinate their children - they cannot trust the safety of the product. # 11994: Jan 29, 2010, Brenda Fetherhuff, South Dakota I have experienced severe head aches, numbing in my arms and legs, elevated heart rate at moments. I had not had these problems prior to receiving the vaccinatio and am concerned that the vaccination is what are causing my problems and am afraid it could cause my death. # 11990: Jan 29, 2010, Derek Cook, Washington I am a parent and a nursing student, and my wife is an RN. We strongly believe the risks of Gardasil need to be more adequately assessed immediately. The risks of HPV do not warrant the risks of this vaccine; health care providers have Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now an obligation to look out for the best interest of each patient. To inject the children of our nation with known toxins to prevent a disease which poses little risk that can be effectively prevented by other means (safe sex, no sex, pap smears, etc)does not make moral or scientific sense. We must stop placing profit for corporations above the health of our nations citizens. Please, the FDA needs to do its job and through good science prove the safety, necessity and efficacy of this vaccine before more chilren's health and very life are placed at risk. # 11973: Jan 29, 2010, Anonymous, Canada I find it appalling how we are brainwashed to think that it is okay that a small percentage of girls die or are disabled do to vaccines because the outcome outways the risks. I find it even more appalling how the government have allowed the Pharma Co. to mandate vaccines. Is life not precious? Maybe the pharma's need to have more of their own relatives die or disabled due to vaccines before something gets done about it. I believe my son was affected by his childhood vaccines and to me his life is worth more than the small risks. Does his life mean nothing to you? # 11940: Jan 29, 2010, Judith Harris, Indiana My 31 year old daughter was convinced by her OBGyn to get the vaccine eventhough she was not in the recommended age group simply because he was greedy and knew her insurance would pay for it. Since receiving the injections, she has had problems with her heart racing, tiredness body aches and malaise. 11905: Jan 28, 2010, DESIREE D. Martinez Debbie Martinez, New Mexico I am responding for my daughter Desiree who has received the vaccine and is experiencing symptoms! 11905: Jan 28, 2010, DESIREE D. Martinez Debbie Martinez, New Mexico I am responding for my daughter Desiree who has received the vaccine and is experiencing symptoms! # 11867: Jan 28, 2010, Heather McNeal, Utah A few months after receiving the Gardisil shot, I went in for a check up with my doctor and tested positive for the HPV virus. I've always questioned whether or not me receiving the shot was actually the cause of me having the virus. # 11844: Jan 28, 2010, Catherine Couey, Oregon My boyfriend's daughter suffered several mini-strokes and almost died after her Guardasil vaccination. MRIs showed areas all over her brain that were bleeding and the drooping of one side of her face and the paralysis were just a few of the stroke symptoms she displayed. Her many doctors could not reach a conclusive diagnosis regarding her symptoms which included tremors, uncontrollable twitching and spasming, fatigue, confusion, bleeding in the brain, transient paralysis, and other neurological problems. She was told by one doctor that this was likely a result of her Guardasil vaccine. After the humiliation of Prednisone treatments (she gained weight, developed a moon face and distended belly) and some other therapies, she has gotten much better but is not the same girl she was before the vaccine, according to her father. These incidents caused alot of pain, fear, anxiety and financial hardship for her and her parents. 11838: Jan 28, 2010, Sharon Minifie, Massachusetts My daughter had guardasil and is now loosing her hair and has chronic fatigue. She is a straight A student and loved by everyone. Stop this horrific assault on our children by a self serving greedy drug company. 11787: Jan 28, 2010, Diane Brito, Arizona Both my kids growing up had learning disabilities and I attribute them to vaccinations. I tell as many people a I can to not vaccinate their children especially Gardasil. My daughters doctor and gyno constantly tell her to take the shots and with my advice she does not. Her friends have had reactions and one was hospitalized for a period of time all related to Gardasil. We need this stopped. # 11743: Jan 28, 2010, Heather Ellsworth-Webster, Canada I work in the clinical trials group for investigational cancer drugs in Canada and believe that sufficient trials should have been done before releasing this vaccine especially to young women. Please please take a closer look at this vaccine and the deaths that surround it. 11709: Jan 28, 2010, Marno Ford, Washington A close family friend's 17 year old daughter broke out in full body hives one month after receiving her second Gardasil injection. she missed over a month of school due to severe pain and itching. # 11697: Jan 28, 2010, Carolyn Moody, Belgium I am a health care professional, nutritionist and coach, and have a close friend whose daughter's health has been Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now ruined by her one and only shot of Gardisil 2 years ago. I want to see more accountability and ethical behaviour on the part of drug companies. Huge profits are not the only thing that counts in this world. # 11695: Jan 28, 2010, Rayna Rosenblatt, Pennsylvania My daughter was given the first Gardasil injection and had a terrible reaction within minutes. She had to be taken to the ER and thankfully recovered from the reaction. I reported the reaction to the Adverse Event Reporting System & was told this was a coincidental according to Merck. No drug company should be allowed to "fast track" anything - as we have seen over the years, it results in death and injury when not properly studied, this is no exception. Nor should the company responsible be allowed to make up reasons why or kids are reacting to this vaccine - they are responsible and need to define the reactions and deaths with more than saying "it's coincidence". Since this is NOT a necessary vaccine - how many more kids have to be injured for this vaccine to be pulled from the market? Obviously, Merck has no intentions of admitting the vaccine causes these reactions and potentially death, so it falls to the government to get the vaccine removed from the market so no more of our young girls die for no reason. # 11694: Jan 28, 2010, Anonymous, California I have twin 12 year old daughters who I chose NOT to vaccinate against HPV with the Gardasil vaccine in order to prevent them from becoming "1 more" of the adverse statistics. However, my choice was not well received by their pediatrician who spent a good 15-20 minutes (longer than she has spent discussing anything with me during ANY visits over the last 12 years) trying to bully me into seeing her point of view (in front of my girls, mind you, who asked me why the doctor was fighting with me???). I was deeply saddened by her defensive and abusive response, but even more so by her lack of knowledge regarding the adverse side effects ("some girls fainted and some symptoms of GBS, which is only temporary" were the only adverse effects she claimed had been reported). As parents, we MUST be our child/children's advocate and NOT just assume the doctors are more informed than we are. # 11679: Jan 28, 2010, Galand Haas, Oregon Yes, my 13 year old daughter came down with a life threatening liver infection (non A-E hepatitis) two month following her third Gardasil vaccine. This vaccine was given in conjunction with a Hep A vaccine. After 2 months in acute liver failure and being placed on a liver transplant list she began a slow recovery from the liver disease but then was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia. She is now in her 9th month of treatment for Aplastic Anemia with only fair results. Prior to the vaccine she had never been sick with more than a cold and was a normal healthy 12 year old girl and incredible athlete. This has all changed as she has fought her illness's for over a year now and her long term recovery is uncertain. 11657: Jan 24, 2010, Davisa Shepherd, Oklahoma Yes. My cousins daughter has been impacted greatly. She is beautiful smart kind and had all the promise in the world. She is going completely bald, and the doctors say she will be totally bald, hair, eyebrow, lashes everything! It is so very sad! PLEASE, no more of this!!!! # 11656: Jan 24, 2010, Salym Soderholm, Kansas i met gabi in 7th grade. we quickly became best friends. we had 7/8 classes together and always sat nearby. people always thought or friendship odd...we have very different styles, but she didnt and doesnt care one bit. niether do i!!! last year i ran into shannon (gabi's mom) at the store and she told me that gabi was sick and they didnt know why yet. a few months later i was told that she was dying. i cried and cried. how could this happen to her?! she was in perfect health, a varsity cheerleader, a 4.0 student, a model, and the best friend i will ever have. shes so beautiful! everytime we talk she sounds so calm, even when she told me that the doctors said theyve tried everything now. shes so strong, but it hurts. knowing that she hurts and that i could lose her. i barely get to see her now, shes always too sick...but on a happier note, shes planning on comming over to see me this week after my first major surgery. shes excited because people always decorate her room and take care of her and she wants to do the same for me. i said its not neccesary for her to do all that but if it will make her feel good, im up for it. i hadnt told her until last year, but in 8th grade i realized that i truly love her. i have never and will never love a girl as much as i love her. im so scared! scared for her, and scared for myself. im terrified of what will happen if i lose her. i cant bear the thought of never seeing her perfect smile and cheery voice. i wish she wouldnt be so hard on herself...last night she actually appologized for being a "bad friend" because she never calls me or texts me back!!! gardasil ruined my bestfriends life, and not just hers, but mine, her family's, and her friends. we're not the only family though, there are MANY others. how and why did the government let this happen and CONTINUE to happen? -Salym Soderholm # 11654: Jan 24, 2010, Michelle Rudgley, New Zealand We are now getting deaths from this vaccine in NZ, but, as usual, they're being completely ignored and swept under the carpet. This is criminal! Ban this vaccine! # 11628: Jan 22, 2010, Carolyn Roberts, Illinois A daughter of our friends' has had a severe, adverse reaction to this vaccine. Every facet of her life has been negatively affected. Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now # 11623: Jan 22, 2010, Jaime Mills, Wyoming My husband's cousin's daughter (Taylor) has had seizures & continues to have them. Praying relief is around the corner for her & her family! # 11602: Jan 21, 2010, Kristi Weaver, Indiana My daughter had the first shot in the series, she had many symptoms from extreme fatigue, severe back pain and more, and once I started researching, it did not take long to see the symptoms were matching others. So she did not continue and it has taken many many months for the sypmtoms to subside. # 11563: Jan 20, 2010, Sabrina Ashton, Tennessee My 14 year old daughter has been experiencing several health issues such as headaches, joint and muscle pain, as well as loosing her hair after completing all three Gardasil injections. I have taken her to different doctors and all testing comes back fine. No one can help her. We trusted these medical professionals. I contacted a doctor where she recieved the vaccination after onset of symptoms to ask if her symptoms were possible side effects. He supposedly checked and called me back stating hair loss,etc was not a noted side effect even on the FDA website. I looked it up and was unable to find it listed. Please take this off of the market. Nothing feels worse than watching your child suffer because you was led to believe you was helping her. # 11561: Jan 20, 2010, Sharon Mills, Michigan My niece has been dramatically impacted by this vaccine. It has taken over a year and many physicians, specialists, neurological and psychological exams to determine the cause or trigger for here sudden onset of seizures. Only because of word of mouth and communication from others who are suffering the same outcomes and ADVERSE EVENTS from Guardasil did we learn that Gardasil is the probable, and undeniable cause of her symptoms. This drug needs to be removed from the market and its adverse events need to be publicly posted via the national media. Sooner than later. # 11539: Jan 19, 2010, Mark Mills, Michigan My cousin's daughter is suffering from the side-effects of Gardisil. # 11531: Jan 19, 2010, Anonymous, Indiana We have a close friend whose daughter's and families lives have been turned upside down by the horrible and frequent seizures she now has due to this shot. They can't let her drive, because they never know if she will seize and not only loose her life, but the innocent lives of others. Please get this shot off the market. # 11527: Jan 19, 2010, Anonymous, Barbados A cousin's daughter is dealing with severe seizure-like reactions to guardisil within weeks of having the shot. # 11507: Jan 19, 2010, Doug Kenna, Indiana Our pastor's daughter & several other girls in the church have had seizures after taking the vacine. Despite increasing medication, our pastor's daughter still has seizures 2.5 years after the initial episode. # 11479: Jan 15, 2010, Kimberly Chitwood, Indiana My daughter Taylor was given her 1st HPV shot on 8/13/2007. Three weeks later she started having tremors in her arms and legs. We called the doctor and talked to the nurse asking if the HPV shot could be the cause, she said no. We went ahead and got the other two shots for her. During that time her tremors got worse and she began violently shaking and couldn't stop. She then would become unconscious while jerking violently. She looked like she was having a seizure. These became very frequent. She has been found wandering, fainting, and seizing. These have happened up to several times a week for the past two and a half years. She has had many headaches as well. Taylor has had numerous tests and all have come back normal. She does not have epilepsy, low blood sugar, or anything wrong with her brain. Taylor never had any of these symptoms before the shot. We have come to believe that the HPV vaccine is the cause of all of this. Taylor has missed a ton of school. My A/B student's grades are now B/C's and worse. She is now unable to play softball for her school team. She cannot take drivers training. This has really frustrated her and us too. A 15 year old girl should NOT have to be going through this. She is a great kid and has been VERY healthy until this shot. I am very heartbroken that through all of the Gardisal commercials and pamphlet I felt like a bad mom if I didn't give her the shot. Now I feel terrible for doing so. # 11475: Jan 15, 2010, Doreen Enos, Massachusetts My daughter has been suffering from severe chronic pain, migraine headaches, swollen & painful joints and chronic fatigue...all starting shortly after her first shot. We didn't make the connection in time to stop her from getting the last two shots. She has gotten progressively worse over the past 2 years. Hospitalizations, many strong prescription pain Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now killers and other drugs havenâ ™t done much for her quality of life. She was a completely healthy 20 year old college student when this devastation hit. She cannot go to school or hold down a job. Please donâ ™t let this happen to other innocent girls. # 11462: Jan 11, 2010, James Andrews, New Mexico My granddaughter now constantly suffers from seizures and I firmly believe that her condition is a direct result of the Gardasi vaccine. 11460: Jan 10, 2010, Kristi Niblo, New York I have personally been affected by the Gardasil vaccine. I missed out on 3 months of school, and many more months of my life, due to this disgusting vaccine. It left me bedridden for weeks, immobile, put me through excruciating pain, and took away parts of my teenage years that I will never get back. # 11458: Jan 9, 2010, Laura Shaw, Australia Two young friends of mine have had suspected reactions to Gardasil. One who was 19, developed DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) shortly after and will have to be on medication for the rest of her life. The other who was 17 at the time, felt sick and had constant weakness and tiredness afterwards which went on for several months. This vaccine has never been proven to prevent cervical cancer - it hasnt been around long enough and cervical cancer can take 10 to 20 years to develop. With a healthy immune system and healthy lifestyle, 90% of women fight off any HPV within 6months to 2 years as it is - and we have Pap Smears to catch majority of cell changes for the remaining 10% of women before any cervical cancer develops from it years later. INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION is overdue...it is about time that pharmaceutical companies to be accountable for unnecessary "wonder cure" jabs that are causing harm. # 11450: Jan 7, 2010, Tracy Morjal, Illinois My daughter she is also on the website www.truthaboutgardasil.org she's the 2nd girl on the home page # 11434: Jan 2, 2010, Patricia McNamara, Florida A good friend's daughter is suffering from the side effects of this drug. It is awful what she is going through and more studies and tests are needed before more girls are vaccinated. # 11432: Jan 2, 2010, Norma Gonzalez, Florida My 16 years old daughter was perfectly healthy until receiving the Gardasil shots. She now suffers from Headaches, Neck Pain, Stomach Pain, Nausea, Hair Loss, Dizziness,Chronic Fatigue, Chest Pain, and is now showing signs of depression. She lives in fear of having seizures and has asked me if she could die from this. Please talk to parents and let them know that Gardasil is making out girls sick. Encourage them to sign this petition. We were lead to believe that this was safe for our girls, now we have to put a stop to Gardasil. # 11428: Dec 31, 2009, Wendy Landis, Pennsylvania My 15 year daughter received the Gardasil vaccine on Monday, December 28, 2009. She was told by a nurse to sit for 2-3 minutes after the injection of Gardasil. My daughter did as told, then slowly stood upright and waited another 3 minutes. She felt fine, so we proceeded to the check out desk. We headed for the exit door of the pediatricians office and didn't make it!! My daughter said she felt like she was going to fall over and didn't feel good at all. Her eyes rolled up into the back of head several times, her head was wobbling, her legs were like rubberbands and she started collapsing in my boyfriends arms. He layed her down on the office floor. My daughter was completely out and was twitching, and jerking with seizure movements!! I immediately got the nurse who took her blood pressure and told us it was very low, 92/38. I asked for cold compresses since my daughter was clamy. Thank God, she came to and seems to be alright for now. Every day I leave for work I must now go into her room and make sure she IS alright, and has made it through the night. Every time we talk on the phone while I'm at work or running errands, I am constantly asking her if she's okay, and having no additional side effects from this vaccine. What a horrible thing for not only my daughter to experience but also me as a parent!! I took my daughter to her doctor as recommended by them to give this vaccine to her to help her STAY healthy and look at what a horrible thing we went through and still are going through, now emotionally. The NOT knowing! What now, will there be consequences with my daughters health for participating in this vaccine?!?! # 11427: Dec 30, 2009, Anonymous, New Jersey My daughter is limping, because of this vaccine. she has to take heavy dose of medications to be able to walk. I am so furious, and I hope they take this vaccine out of the market. If you know anybody who wants to take it please tell them not to. 11425: Dec 30, 2009, Anonymous, New Jersey I am a 25 year old female that is permanently disabled after receiving the gardisal vaccine. There is no explanation for my autoimmune disease, it does not run in my family and it happened 9 months after my 2nd shot. It ruined my life....I wish I can walk again. Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now # 11420: Dec 27, 2009, Valerie Sampson, Texas I am confounded by the fact that in spite of the number of reactions the CDC and the federal government have failed to do adequate research and investigation to protect us. Greed is at the very root of this evil. If they continue to advocate these vaccines without proper scientific data, then individuals cannot pursue the proper legal recourse and win a verdict. It is simple, no scientific connection established, no funding to find the same, no required pay out. It is a win-win scenario for Big Pharma. No Link- No Pay!! We are in a sad state of affairs when politicians turn a deaf ear to concerned parents and constituents alike. My conscious has been raised immensely by reading the blogs and other similar websites. So much so that I can no longer ignore the possibilities of what could occur from a vaccination. A raised conscious is what Big Pharma fears most. It is not economically beneficial to have individuals with raised consciouses. Without people openly communicating about these issues and reactions to the vaccines, doctors continue to deny and ignore the complaints of concerned parents. We now have a voice and we now have a choice. Fight the good fight, Godspeed Continue the good work that you do. I support you whole heartedly. # 11415: Dec 22, 2009, Lora Perez, Texas My daughter received her first vaccination in july 2008 immediately her hair started falling out and she began having headaches,after her second dose headache worsen tremors in hand nausea weakness chest pain trouble breathing trouble sleeping been in and out of doctors office and hospital no will connected the vaccination I neede help # 11411: Dec 20, 2009, Wanda Potter, California My name is Wanda and I had the guardasil shots. I am now without my uterus and my cervex. I had to have 2 painful surgeries and I believe its from the bull crap vaccine. I have Migraines, blurred vision, severe joint pain, back pain, brain fogginess, severe memory loss. I had my hysterectomy 2 yrs ago. I had the guardasil vaccine aprox 6 months prior to my hysterectomy. They left my ovaries but recently I am having weird pain where they are located. I am only 29 years old. I was 27 when I had this done. I am angry that they are allowing this damaging vaccine to young girls. I am permantently scared for the rest of my life. I know all of my female problems are a result of this horrible vaccine. # 11407: Dec 19, 2009, Brianna Finnesgard, North Dakota I have seen friends suffer from this vaccine. I am very glad I chose not to risk getting the vaccine. My doctor tried to convince me to get it but never once told me of any of the side effects that you could get. this vaccine needs to be take off the market!!! # 11404: Dec 19, 2009, Anonymous, North Dakota One of my patients began exhibiting signs and symptoms of a yet unknown autoimmune disease shortly after receiving 2 guardasil shots. If she were properly informed of the risks and benefits of this vaccine, I believe she would have thought twice about getting the vaccine. There needs to at least be a stricter policy on informed consent. Having this situation altogether thoroughly and properly investigated is a must! Too many young women's lives have been prematurely ended or forever altered due to the reckless promotion and use of this vaccine. More empasis needs to be placed on safe sex practices to avoid these few strains of HPV instead of marketing to the public that it's a silver bullettype of vaccine against cervical cancer. If proper precautions are taken, there is no need for the vaccine, eliminating the risk of these life-altering and sometimes life-ending side effects. It saddens me to think how this young woman's life has been changed by this, and worries me what problems are yet to surface. Please take the time and effort to properly and objectively investigate this and other vaccines. We owe it to our children and our patients to have their best interest at heart # 11402: Dec 19, 2009, Chelsey Moldenhauer, North Dakota After receiving the Gardasil vaccine I began suffering from an unknown autoimmune disease. My symptoms include: widespread muscle and joint pain, fatigue, insomnia, tingling in hands, muscle spasms, numbness in one toe, joint swelling, migraines, dizziness, and many others. I was not adequately warned that this could happen and am very thankful that I made the choice to not complete the injection series and stopped after the second dose. I have seen numerous doctors, tried many medications, and have gotten no relief or answers. The only thing I have gotten out of this vaccine are enormous medical bills and frustration. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. # 11400: Dec 18, 2009, Rebecca Moldenhauer, North Dakota I'M OUTRAGED!!! My 21 year old daughter has had many bad symptom and medical bills a mounting. She is about to start her last semester of nurses training and her nursing instructors are requesting she drop out of the program because her health has deteriorated significantly over the past 6 months. This all started after receiving two doses of Gardasil. THANK GOD she did not get the third dose, she might be DEAD if she had. GARDASIL must be taken OFF the market before any other young girls are INJURED!!! # 11392: Dec 17, 2009, Debbie Lawson, Kentucky I am a nurse & was not aware it only lasted 5 years. Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now 11388: Dec 16, 2009, Carmen Paredes, Florida My daughter has been having peripheral vision problems since the second shot. It is now 2 years later and this continues. I did not give her the third shot. This vaccine brings more broblems than cures, if any. Keep your girls safe and do NOT administer. # 11381: Dec 14, 2009, Kay NesSmith, Louisiana My daughter has been sick for a while, been to the doctor alot and even to the emergency room. Experiencing fatigue, muscle pain, headaches, wanting to sleep all the time, loss of appetite, hair loss, difficulty breathing and chest pain. I did not associate her symptoms with getting shot she has only received 2 doses, she is due for the 3rd one in January but will not be recieving it now. Now that I have beenreading on the shot, after her first one was when the symptoms started. I thought I was protecting her, like the commercial says I wanted her to be one less. # 11380: Dec 13, 2009, Anonymous, Louisiana My daughter have received only two of the Gardasil shots and before now she was a very active child. My family was against me getting them for her but as a mother I wanted to keep her safe. Since started taking those shots after her 12th birthday she has changed a lot. She have constant headaches, tiredness,fatigue and shivers. I need to know how do I need to contact about this or as a mother what is it I need to do. # 11378: Dec 13, 2009, Ben Keil, Pennsylvania Liberal and progressive values should never compromise human life and human dignity. I have a cousin who is violently ill after receiving Gardasil, the likely cause of her illness. This drug, like all others, was pushed through by pharmacists wanting to sell a product, but also by people looking to stick it to the Catholic Church and to empower women sexually. While I have no problem with this agenda, it becomes extremely problematic when we allow politics to compromise human life. If we are progressive, we must remain so even when it is less convenient. # 11376: Dec 13, 2009, Anonymous, Ohio My 19 year old daughter passed out just after getting the shot as she was waiting to make a appt. for her second shot. They had to take her back to the room and let it pass she went home and slept for about 16-18 hours. So far we have not noticed any other side effects. She is now due for her second and Im very afraid. # 11375: Dec 13, 2009, Hallie Latos, California Yes, I believe so. My daughter always has been exceptionally healthy. After receiving the three gardasil shots at the urging of her doctor she became extremely fatigued, lost hair on her head, gained weight had continuous headaches and sore throats and now has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. She doesn't even look like the same girl. We are having her blood work monitored every three months and the epstein Barr Titers are still high. I have been reading HUNDREDS of similar stories. I NEVER would have vaccinated her with this had I known the side effects. Count me in to help in whatever way I can in order to protect other teens from experiencing what my daughter has!!! # 11372: Dec 12, 2009, Cheryl Johnson, Oregon My daughter received the third Gardasil immunization in Oct. 2009. We did not contribute breathing problems and headache over the previous year to the previous shot, but now wonder if it played a role. After her third shot she is having fainting (blacking out) and they are testing her for seizures. She has an MRI scheduled tonight and an EEG in a week. She continues with headaches and has begun nosebleeds. I am very concerned about Gardasil's possible involvement. Please pull Gardasil until we know more. # 11362: Dec 7, 2009, Tom Giduz, North Carolina Our 18 year old daughter was severely disabled for several months after her thrid Gardasil vaccine. As a physician, I was totally unaware of the possible side effects of the vaccine. My wife and I are now attempting to educate health care professionals and others about potential dangers of this vaccine. # 11354: Dec 4, 2009, Shena Demaria, Michigan i wish i never got any vacines and had the oppertunity to make my own choice # 11352: Dec 3, 2009, Jennifer Neel, Ohio A friend from our church's teenage daughter has had repeated seizures that have been diagnosed as side effects from Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now this vaccine. She has been hospitalized and I can only imagine how traumatic that has been for both her and her family. I am very concerned that this vaccine is being recommended for all young ladies of a certain age when so little seems to be known about it. Please hear us when we ask you to investigate this vaccine and protect our girls and women from preventable harm. # 11338: Dec 1, 2009, Rebecca Maxwell, California My best friend's younger sister was once and on occasion still is a very happy and bright girl, Gardasil has impacted her life in such a negative direction that i'm worried everytime i ask how she's doing, i'm going to hear she had another seizure, or that she's losing more weight that she can't afford to lose. This has to be STOPPED! # 11335: Dec 1, 2009, Lisa Culpepper, Oklahoma The crushing loss of my friend's only daughter brought this situation to my attention. The lovely young lady was less than twenty years old when she died unexpectedly after receiving the Gardasil vaccination. After many months, the local medical examiner finally ruled her death "of unknown cause". The fact that this vaccination is being pushed onto girls and young women and not on boys and young men is a crime against women. # 11334: Dec 1, 2009, Anonymous, Oklahoma A very close friend lost her daughter very suddenly and unexpectedly 2 months after completing the 3rd shot of the 3 shot series. The Medical Examiner's office has ruled the death as "unexplained". The circumstances surrounding her death sound identical to multiple cases in Austraila following Gardisil vaccinations. # 11318: Nov 26, 2009, Rahni Cassidy, Australia I had my first and second needle started January 2009 i have not been the same since my immune system seems to have gone out the window along with my energy. 4ER visits and many tests and doctor visits. There just seems to be no help or support out there for the young girls suffering. Medical bills are costing me a fortune :( # 11314: Nov 25, 2009, Frances Christy, Oklahoma My niece begin having medical problems after the second injection and 2 weeks after the third injection, was found collapsed in her apartment and pronounced dead at the hospital. No cause of death could be found by the medical examiners office and a request was made by the family for a check of reaction to the Gardasil injection only to find out there is no test. # 11310: Nov 24, 2009, Tracey Temple Sieger, Pennsylvania Have you/family member experienced a Gardasil or other vaccine reaction? Two of my friend's children have been affected by vaccine injury. Both children lost feeling in their legs followed by horrible pain when they started to recover. They were treated by neurologists. We must protect our children from harm. In the medical field their is an oath; "First do no harm!" I don't believe the medical field is upholding this oath when vaccines are permanently injuring or killing some of our children. One life lost is one life too much! Please compassionately consider investigating Gardasil vaccine deaths and serious injuries now. Thank you. # 11302: Nov 23, 2009, Riva McCain, Florida As an educator I have had to watch as one of the brightest stars in my high school has suffered from the effects of this vaccine. Please do the responsible thing and order an independant investigation of the gardasil vaccine. # 11301: Nov 23, 2009, Deanna Becker, Oklahoma I am awaiting a second autopsy on my 20 year old daughter. She passed away on September 12, 2008. She had finished her last Gardasil injection on July 21, 2008. As of date, her cause of death is undetermined # 11299: Nov 23, 2009, Wanda Colebaugh, Florida A dear friend of our family has taken shots 1 & 2 and it nearly destroyed her life. By God's Grace and the determination of her mother and friends she is now on the mend. PLEASE remember, these girls and their families put faith in the FDA to do all their homework. Sometimes we are in too much of a hurry for the fix that we forget that lives will be affected by our decisions. # 11292: Nov 23, 2009, Laura Hogue, Florida My good friends' daughter has been affected by this vaccine and it's been terrible. Our kids have had to see her struggle to continue in school and fight for everything she loves. # 11288: Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now Nov 23, 2009, Anonymous, South Carolina Yes, a member of my family, a grand daughter, seems to have had many adverse effects due to 2 Gardasil injections. # 11285: Nov 23, 2009, Shelby Sexson, Florida I took this vaccine. It nearly killed me. My life has been changed forever and do to inadequate testing I have no prognosis. I donâ ™t know how long my seizures will last and if my immune system will ever recover. I can only pray that this petition will change things for other girls! # 11283: Nov 23, 2009, Julie Ovens, Florida a sister of mine i BELIEVE has truly been affected,, she is 18,and since recieving the shots, she has had major siezures, mono, all the time.. and other things happen to her!! # 11280: Nov 22, 2009, Michele Sexson, Florida My 17 y/o daughter took #1 and #2 of the 3 shots. She began having seizures, almost immediately, some days 2 and 3 a day, she had a severe rash all over her face, neck and head, and in her mouth, her body was unable to build immunities to the Epstein Bar Virus (which causes Mono), she had 7 bouts with mono over a 1 yr. period, she lost half of her hair on her head and now has chronic fatigue syndrome. The affects of theses shots have totally changed our lives.....if we could turn back the hands of time, we would have NEVER signed for her to have them. There is hope, she is now one year on the otherside of the second shot, and to date she is 71 days seizure-free, her hair is growing back, and has not had mono in that many days either. We are hopeful that the farther away she gets from having the vaccine, the more able her body will be to recover. Muscle and joint pains plague this once very active young lady, but she is still making it day by day with God's grace. Amen. She is my hero!! # 11278: Nov 22, 2009, Christina Waldman, New York Have you/family member experienced a Gardasil or other vaccine reaction? My daughter had it when she was 17, just going into college. It was her wish. She was being treated for pneumonia at the time. She continued to be treated for continuous lung infections that did not go away for all of her freshman year. She had expensive testing for asthma and she did not have asthma. She is still having respiratory problems, that are not helped by antihistamines or decongestants. # 11277: Nov 22, 2009, Heather Gillbanks, Texas I was horrified when my daughter (inconveniently born in Canada, though I am a US Citizen) was required to receive this vaccine. Not only is it extremely expensive ($450 was the cheapest I could find it locally) - the risks far outweigh the rewards, if you do even the slightest amount of research. Please stop sale of this vaccine immediately. There are other - safer - ways to screen for and handle cervical cancer. # 11274: Nov 21, 2009, Ruthann Brown, Oregon I am 23 years old and my doctor has been urging me to get Gardasil. Now, though, I'm very grateful for my being hesitant to blindly believe the government. After finding risks and side effects common to sexually active women getting it, I decided the risk outweighs the reward. I'm also urging my mom to research the risks more before having my 10 year old sister get it. I feel it's prudent to thoroughly investigate all potential risks of vaccinations and we apparently need to force the FDA to do so. # 11273: Nov 20, 2009, Marsha Shomo, Pennsylvania My daughter had one shot upon the doctor's recommendation at a yearly exam. I wish I would have not consented until I had researched it. After I checked it out I did not allow her to continue with the two remaining shots. We all must do our homework on any drugs and vaccines that the government approves or recommends. Our FDA isn't as one would hope. They can't be trusted to do what is best for the people anymore. It's shameful! # 11247: Nov 16, 2009, Christina Brown, Virginia My daughter was a very happy, robust young woman before she got the 3 shots of Gardasil. Now a 4th year at UVa, she is suffering daily with swollen stomach, face and having other debilitating effects from this vaccine. She was forced to take it and we were not counseled on it at all. She had no knowledge of what her doctor was pressuring her to take. She has shortness of breath and heaviness on her chest at times. She is getting depressed over her health situation. # 11237: Nov 14, 2009, Anonymous, Wisconsin Since receiving the second dose of Gardasil, my daughter (who has type 1 diabetes) has developed postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) symptoms, blackouts and severe allergic reactions to various substances and chemicals. Additionally, she has developed "complicated" migraine symptoms including weakness on the left side, visual disturbances, intolerable headaches behind her left eye, memory problems and slurred speech. While we aren't sure these symptoms were caused by Gardasil, I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with her and saw some of her symptoms occurring in others who have had the vaccine. I didn't even know she had the vaccine until I asked her - Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now once I saw the possible connection to Gardasil. This needs to be investigated. My daughter has been in and out of the hospital, is in jeopardy of losing her job and has to take online classes, which are a struggle for her. Additionally, getting her any decent diagnosis or treatment has been stressful and expensive. Multiple doctors have assessed all of her symptoms as psychological even though observable physical symptoms are present (such as abnormal increased heart rate and lowered blood pressure while standing.) The stress, the disruption in her life and the medical bills have been completely overwhelming. My daughter falls and hits her head (sometimes fainting, sometimes just falling) 1 or more times per week as a result of these symptoms. She has been on multiple medications, some of which trigger serious side effects. There are times when her symptoms are so severe that she appears to have had a stroke. If this was caused by the vaccine, we want acknowledgement and assistance in her treatment so that she can go back to living her life without fear and judgment. # 11234: Nov 14, 2009, Christina Bigelow, Michigan I have a 10yr old niece that recieved her 2nd injection of the vaccine 2wks ago. Her legs gave out on her just day's after the injection. Today, she is paralized from the waist down and is in extreme pain constantly. The pain travels up her spine to the base of her neck creating severe headachs in turn resulting in vommiting. Again, she is ONLY 10yrs. old... I keep asking myself WHY, WHY, WHY!!! I have 2 daughter, 5 & 6 years old. I DO NOT WANT THEM TO HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS. # 11232: Nov 14, 2009, Janet Carroll, Indiana My friend's 14 year old began suffering severe headaches which developed into full blown seizures - up to 20 per day. # 11229: Nov 14, 2009, Angela Mattar, North Carolina my 19 year old sister has been sick since getting her hpv vaccines. we didnt put it together at first about what had made her so sick. thank goodness for the information you put on this site. she stays sick day in, and day out for a year now. # 11225: Nov 13, 2009, Miriam Steele, Indiana My granddaughter has been experiencing Seizures, which have been ruled out by the Dr. to be Brain-wave related or brain tumor related. The neurologist has given her a Psychosomatic diagnosis. We are certain that this is not true, but related to the Gardisil shot. She began experiencing dizziness and weakness and general fatigue in the weeks following which developed into seizures about a month and a half after the first shot. Neurologists said anti-seizure medicine would not work, but we found a Dr. who was willing to try. They immediately decreased from having a 5 minute - 1 hour seizure every 2 hours to only 1 seizure at night in 2 weeks time after starting the anti-seizure medication. My conclusion is they cannot be psychomatic , but have to be physical, if medication is controlling the seizures. I don't want other families to have to go through what our family has experienced or worse. Please do NOT allow this to be a mandated vaccine. # 11222: Nov 13, 2009, JUDY MULLEN, Indiana MY 15 YR OLD GRANDAUGHTER HAS BEEN HAVING SEIZURES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER HER FIRST SHOT OF GARDASIL. IT'S HEART BREAKING TO HER SUFFER THE LOSS OF HER FIRST YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL, BEING WITH HER FRIENDS, GOING TO PARTIES, NOT TO MENTION THE PHYSICIAL TOIL ALL OF THE SEIZURES ARE HAVING ON HER BODY. IT'S ESPEICALLY HARD WHEN THIS VACCINE IS SUPPOSED TO HELP YOUNG WOMEN AVOID CERVICAL CANCER, WHICH IS A GOOD THING. IN OUR CASE HOWEVER, IT'S BEEN A NIGHTMARE, AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF IT ENDING ANY TIME SOON. PLEASE JUST TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE TEST DATA, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT!!!!! # 11215: Nov 13, 2009, Stephenie Whitenburg, Michigan I have received the Gaurdasil shots and would like to know if any of my illnesses are Guardasil related. # 11209: Nov 13, 2009, Rebecca DeRosia, Michigan my 10 old neice recently became ill 2 days after her gardasil vaccination, as of now she is unable to move from the waist down, and is in severe pain. # 11207: Nov 12, 2009, Faith Tobias, Pennsylvania my 9 year old daughter was given her second gardisil vaccine on november 3, 2009. on november 5th she collapessed and have not been able to walk since. she spent 3 days in a childres hospital and underwent numerous procedures but all test came back negative, we still do not know what is wrong with her. after doing some research of my own i came across other girls who have had the same side effects and some cases even death all related to the gardisil vaccine. this vaccine needs to be taken off the market it is ruining lives. Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now # 11206: Nov 12, 2009, Anonymous, Florida My daughter developed pneumonia after receiving her last PCV shot. She was put on antibiotics and later started wheezing. I kept asking her doctor if she has asthma. The answer was always no. When I switched doctors, the new physician opened my eyes to the fact my daughter has asthma and she was having asthma attacks. She could have died! I am counting my blessings she's still with us today. She did not have asthma prior to her last shot, and it does not run in the family. I wish all states would have a philosophical exemptions. I am the parent and I know what's better for my kids, not the CDC or the health department # 11194: Nov 12, 2009, Heather Austin, Michigan I have personally gotten the 3 doses of this vaccination. I had some paralysis in my arm that lasted up to two weeks! Thank God i didn't have a serious reaction! If i had known about the possible side effects i would've thought twice about getting it. # 11193: Nov 12, 2009, Anonymous, Florida Am I mistaken or is the FDA and CDC supposed to be PROTECTING the people? This is an experiment gone awry. It is unbelievable that our government agencies have given their stamp of approval to a vaccine that is causing this much harm and injury to the public. WE DO NOT TRUST YOU ANYMORE! READ THESE TESTIMONIES! Feel the pain of these familes and the grief of the parents who have lost their young daughters! These mothers and these young women were counseled by their physicians to TAKE THIS VACCINE. Pediatricians are PUSHING parents to vaccinate their 9, 10, 11 and 12 year olds. Not Merck, not the FDA, not the CDC, not the OB-GYN's and not one pediatrician knows what the long-term effects on these young girls will be. And yet they INSIST, PUSH AND EVEN MANDATE this vaccine! Merck is manipulating the public with cancer scare tactics and families are paying a very large price for trusting their health care providers. Isn't it time someone stand up and do the right thing for a change? 11192: Nov 12, 2009, Allison Mastin, Virginia After receiving the first shot my 12 year old granddaughter is still suffering 6 weeks and three doctor visits later. Most concerning is her fingers and toes locking up on her (dystonia). She has been tired and fatigued, had headaches, painful muscle cramps and aching joints. This drug needs to be removed from the market until more testing! 11180: Nov 11, 2009, Kathryn Rahr, Florida IS THERE AN EPIDEMIC OF CERVICAL CANCER TO WARRANT the risks that this vaccine presents? Obviously not! Why are these young girls/women being injured when there is not a substantial cause? Big money for pharmaceutical companies perhaps? Please do something to stop this vaccine before it does any further damage # 11179: Nov 11, 2009, Brande Peterson, Indiana I have personally received the Gardasill vaccine and have not yet had any adverse side effects. I do have a friend whose daughter has had severe seizures ever since receiving the first dose of the vaccine. # 11166: Nov 10, 2009, Sandra Hughes, North Carolina I am very concerned about my granddaughter, Ku'ulei. She has ADD and is Bipolar at age 12. Because she is already sexually active her doctor recommended she have Gardasil. Please order more research on this vaccine as soon as possible. S # 11164: Nov 10, 2009, Karin Connors, New Hampshire my daughter had a blood clot in her brain which led to a stroke less then a week after having her third gardisil shot, at the age of 25. # 11157: Nov 10, 2009, Anonymous, Indiana I have watched a completely healthy, beautiful teenage girl suffer a loss in terms of her quality of life after receiving Gardasil. She now has seizures that have yet to be controlled by medicine. Doctors can't seem to figure out what is causing them. There are too many girls in the same situation to keep blindly turning our backs saying, "It's coincidence" any longer. PLEASE look into this vaccine that is taking lives away from teenage girls in the name of "sparing them" from a disease that rarely kills, and doesn't affect a significant amount of girls. # 11152: Nov 9, 2009, Pamela Browning, Florida My beloved 22-year-old daughter is having neurological problems that began late in the same evening of her second dose of the Gardasil Vaccine. We do not yet know the extent of the damage that has been done to her. My heart breaks for the thousands of cases that I have read about. FORTY-FOUR deaths...15,037 ADVERSE EVENTS REPORTED! SEVEN PERCENT OF THEM HAVE BEEN SERIOUS. PLEASE PUT A STOP TO THIS. The public should not be guinea pigs!!! Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now # 11148: Nov 9, 2009, Paul Miller, Indiana My 16 year old daughter has received one gardasil shot. Within the next week, she began experiencing headaches, dizziness, and weakness. Within two months she began hyperventilating, fainting, and seizing. We have been to the emergency room three times in 24 hours due to the seizures, and spent five days in the hospital. This vaccine is not safe, and needs to be investigated. Merck needs to be held accountable. Our family has suffered tremendously due to Gardasil. IT IS NOT SAFE. # 11141: Nov 8, 2009, Alexa McAvoy, New Jersey Since receiving the Gardasil shot, I have experienced intense breathing problems, random outbreaks of hives, and irregular periods. I am now on multiple medications to control my breathing, irregular periods, and hives. Also, upon receiving the third shot, the entire left side of my body went numb and warranted a visit to the emergency room. Gardasil has caused me many problems that I may have to live with for the rest of my life. I strongly believe that this vaccine is doing more harm than good # 11140: Nov 7, 2009, Cheryl Granias, Illinois My friend's daughter had a reaction after her Gardasil shots and in fact became seriously ill and now has an autoimmune disease for the rest of her life. The doctors said it wasn't due to the Gardasil vaccination but I don't believe them and I feel very strongly that it was. # 11135: Nov 6, 2009, Susan Ahart, Alabama Dear Mr. and Mrs. Oboma, Please help us the conerned citizens of the United States. Just recently my sister called me to tell me that my beautiful little niece has been very sick, my sister took her to the doctors countless times with flu like symptems. But the doctors said they couldn't find anything wrong with her. About 2 weeks ago my niece started having really bad leg cramps. So my sister and her husband took her to the emergency room. They couldn't find anything wrong with her. Then just recently my sister remembered that Amber had taken her 2nd round of Gardasil vaccination. The symptems got worse fast. We are so concerned about amber she is a beautiful child and we all lover her so much. "PLEASE" get someone to investigate this problem. There are young girls taking these shots that aren't safe because it is making them very ill or sometimes as I recently found out they have been dieing. Something has to be done about this. We need your help MR. PRESIDENT. Thank You,Susan Ahart # 11133: Nov 6, 2009, Anonymous, Florida I RECEIEVED GARDASIL WHEN I WAS A VIRGIN AND SOON MY HEALTH AND IMMUNE SYSTEM HIT A WALL. SEVERAL STREP THROATS, MONO, URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS, AND MORE. I DEVELOPED A HUNDRED PINPOINT WARTS ON MY LEG WITHIN A FEW MONTHS AND MY ANNUAL PAPSMEAR FEW MONTHS LATER WAS ABNORMAL WITH PRECANCEROUS CELLS, FIRST ONE EVER TO BE ABNORMAL. NOW 2 YEARS LATER I NEED SURGERY TO REMOVE THE PRECANCEROUS CELLS. I WILL NEVER TAKE A VACCINE AGAIN # 11132: Nov 6, 2009, Irene Vergis, New Jersey I had the Gardasil vaccine done last year and I still have extreme muscle pain at the injection site. # 11127: Nov 5, 2009, Tracy Morjal, Illinois my daughter has so many problems and has been in and out of all kinds of doctors offices... # 11122: Nov 5, 2009, Carol Cannon, Pennsylvania I did not have my daughters vaccinated, but I have two friends whose daughters had adverse reactions to the gardasil vaccine. Of the two girls, one had serious health consequences and continues to struggle with the lasting side effects. # 11113: Nov 4, 2009, Brenda Robinson, Louisiana My cousin Amber Borel is suffering from reactions to the Gardasil vaccine. I also heard of a 14 year old girl in England dying from the injection later in the day. Some states are making it mandatory to take, but I disagree. It should be an optional choice only after careful research to say it is safe. I really do hope that my cousin and the other girls out there recover from this vaccine. # 11111: Nov 4, 2009, Anonymous, Louisiana My younger cousin, Amber Borel, is experiencing allergic reactions to Gardasil. It's sad when you get a vaccine to prevent something, but in the end, the reactions to it are even worse than what you're trying to prevent! # 11102: Nov 4, 2009, Anonymous, Louisiana I find myself scared to sleep at night because I don't know if i'll wake up. Somedays I have leg and body pains so bad Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now that I'm crying ...I get short of breath and bad chest pains ...I'm starting to get weaker and I wake up with my entire face swollen. I can't live like this for the rest of my life. I'm 16 years old and I do not plan on dying from a vaccine. Some people say its worth the risk, thats only from the ignorant people that didn't take the shots or can't take them anymore because they may be too old or they don't have kids to watch them suffer through this. Me? I say its not worth it and its NOT a coincidence! Too many girls have died and went paralyzed.. I've taken 2 of the 3 shots and I'm scared to death. If I would've known anything about these shots, I would've never taken them. Please ...take this shot off of the market. # 11101: Nov 4, 2009, Deanna Nespor, Illinois My daughter had her second shot today at 4:15 p.m. She told me that she felt very sick like she needed to vomit. She feels very weak and has a stiff neck. I thought it was strange that she had complained of this stiffness in her neck more then once through the past months. I then went online to look up any information for reactions from Gardasil. I found more information and it has put the fear into my soul. I am very worried about my daughter and hope that she will be ok. I wish that I had been told about these warnings. Today when she had been given the shot she did not lay down and this is very scary. They gave her the shot in her arm and then after she felt very strange she said. Then she told me about a girl friend at school who has been hospitalized every month since she had been given the shot. I said that I wish she had discussed that with me before the shot had been given. I then in turn asked the nurse at the desk when we checked out ifshe had heard of any cases. The nurse then responded well I don't know I don't have a daughter. Now my child is sick and I feel guilty that I may have assisted a doctor in causing her harm. 11087: Nov 3, 2009, Jan Griffee, Missouri There have been 2 girls in our very small community have severe, life changing reactions to the gardisil vaccine. This must be happening on a huge scale everywhere. Who is watching out for our safety? # 11084: Nov 3, 2009, Amber Borel, Louisiana Well I received the Gardasil shot and I am having severe leg pain and over all body aches. Please do not let your daughters take these shots. # 11074: Nov 3, 2009, Sarah Criner, Arizona I have a best friend who got affected by this vaccine. # 11073: Nov 3, 2009, Bree Hollier, Louisiana My doctor pushed it without saying any of the side effects. I never took it because my mom said it didn't seem safe like they said. My best friend took it twice, and now she's having trouble. This vaccine shouldn't be advertised or pushed on anyone. It may prevent cervical cancer, but it may also kill you. How lovely is that?.. 11066: Nov 3, 2009, Megan Borel, Louisiana my little sister was PUSHED to take this vaccine. she's taken her second dose and is now having severe leg pain and shortness of breath. we are not taking her to take the third one. I think before the head of the FDA decides that the benefits outweigh the risks, he should give the injection to his daughter and watch her die from it...and still get on tv and say that the benefits still outweigh the risk...no young girls life is worth the risk to prevent something that there is no guarantee they'll ever have in their lifetime. who wants to die at 12 to prevent cervical cancer when theyre an adult? seems pretty stupid. # 11059: Nov 2, 2009, Maria Umana, Texas I totally refused to have my 16 year old daughter vaccinated with the Gardasil vaccine even though my doctor was trying to force it on us. The number of vaccines they want us to give our kids is ridiculous and needs to be addressed immediately! 11043: Nov 1, 2009, Cindy Borel, Louisiana My 16 year old daughter has had her 2rd shot and is experiencing shortness of breath, leg pain, body aches & chest pains # 11028: Oct 30, 2009, Anonymous, Illinois My heart breaks for these young girls.....and especially there mothers, who trusted this vaccine and are now doomed with fact that they made a choice that ruined there childs life.No one should have to go though something like that when all it took was a little more time and studying and brains in which they have to make a vaccine but not to protct against its effects, where is the smarts in that???I sign this petetion as a mother who couldnt phathom living through something like this!! # 11021: Oct 29, 2009, Anonymous, Texas After recieving my first Gardasil vaccine, I experienced muscular and nuerological problems. Please investigate Gardasil. Girls who were in perfect health are now dying and suffering from seizures, muscle weakness, and other Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now awful adverse side effects. If this vaccine is going to be forced on girls of every age, it should be re-evaluated and deemed safe. Please stop the growing number of Gardasil victims. # 11015: Oct 29, 2009, Maggie Kendig, Pennsylvania My 15 year old daughter has had a variety of symptoms that have been present for about 2 years, and which no doctor or test can explain. It is only within the last day that I recalled hearing about side effects of Gardasil and made the connection that she had the vaccine about 2 years ago. She has had many of the less severe symptoms that all of the other cases reference, such as dizziness, brain fog, pain in the joints, chest pain, difficulty breathing, light sensitivity, etc. but none the less frustrating. Several doctors suggested that she may be "faking" her symptoms for attention or that maybe she suffered some trauma that we, her parents, were unaware of. Her grades have also plummeted and we are all very frustrated and looking for answers. We deserve to be protected!!! # 11012: Oct 29, 2009, Denise Isom, Missouri My best friends dsughter whom is a girl very special to me and many others who WAS a girl with a life and all her dreams ahead of her.After getting this vac. her life has taken a dramatic change.Although she is a fighter and will continue to fight for those dreams this vac. has put obtaining those goals a much more complacated reach. As I said she is a fighter but it hurts my heart that she and many other girls have had their lifes and the lifes of their families turned upside down because of what we believe is caused by the GARDASIL vac.I have an 13 yr. old daughter whom I have not and will not be vaccinated because of concerned expressed from my docter and the reactions this has taken on a girl so close to us and the many others fighting for their lifes and dreams that was totally in their reach. My special girls name is Steffanee Richardson and I PRAY for her and all of the other girls out there that more research be done on GARDASIL before it causes more girls this pain. THANK YOU # 11007: Oct 29, 2009, Andrea Anderson, Idaho Dear President Barack Obama and Congress, Five short years ago I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and told I would never be able to have any more children. At the young age of barely 20 years old, you can imagine how upsetting this news would be. I was terrified. I had to make 4 hour trips to a cancer specialist and after about a year of this...ended up having to have a hysterectomy. I have two little girls, one who just turned 9 and one who is 4. The very doctor who diagnosed me with cancer, also suggested I still get this vaccine. I never did. At the time I was all for it and thought it was great. I have never been against vaccines. I've always believed the good outways the bad. However, this vaccine scares me. I have read and read about this. I do not believe the good out ways the bad on this. I am terrified of my 9 year old being told she has to have this vaccine. Young girls are dying, or are brain dead beacuse of this vaccine. Cancer is a scary thing. I know from experience. You would think I'd be the first in line to have my daughters vaccinated...but I'm not. I believe more research needs to be done on this. I can not believe the FDA approved this. Please please look into this. I do not believe this is safe. This is our children we are talking about. Our little girls. We are supposed to protect them. # 11003: Oct 29, 2009, Theresa Tocio, Florida My daughter has suffered weakness, partial paralysis and transverse myelitis due to vaccination with Gardasil and Menactra. # 10995: Oct 28, 2009, Linda Fox, Indiana I had my athlete, honor student daughter immunized a with gardasil a few years ago. She was diagnosed with M.S. a year ago, months after turing 16. We have no history for M.S. in my family. After getting the shots she felt "strange". She really hasn't felt great since. Thanks medical profession and government oversite, great job. Sincerely, linda fox 10987: Oct 28, 2009, Anonymous, Texas As a healthcare provider of primary care to children with Special Health Care Needs. I want parents to have a choice and to make that choice on solid research. Please talk to the mother's who have lost a child due to Gardasil side effets. Gardasil DECREASES infections of the HPV ---BUT it does NOT decrease cervicel cancer. Frquent screening helps prevent cervical cancer. Thank you # 10973: Oct 27, 2009, Anonymous, Illinois I was writing an informative speech about Gardasil. I thought i knew what it was. But reading everything i read was a shock to me. I have gotten two of the shots and am up for the third this November. After reading, I am NOT getting that last one. This goes to show that not everyone is informed about issues that involve our personal heath. My doctor never told me about the side effects. Luckily I didnt have any side effect except a bruised arm. This vaccine is not a guarantee. For how long will this "protect" against the HPV? It wasnt even tested completely. The last testing should have been done barely this past September. Everyone who got this vaccine was a guinea pig, a testing object. I'd rather risk getting it than dying or being paralyzed over a false vaccine that guarantees nothing # 10965: Oct 27, 2009, Juliette Neil, South Carolina I have my Masters Degree in Cytology where we are taught to review pap smears on the microscope to find HPV and do the HPV testing. I did my thesis on the dangers on this vaccine and how little it has been tested. Drug companies like Merck are so anxious to start making money that they neglect the casualties that will occur from not testing the Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now vaccine properly. I don't think all vaccines are bad, but they need strict testing and VAERS and the CDC are not being honest by still recommending that it is completely safe. # 10943: Oct 24, 2009, Betsy Giduz, North Carolina Our daughter became violently ill within 24 hours of receiving the third Gardasil shot in June. She was essentially disabled all summer and still suffers from headaches, chronic fatigue and GI symptoms. Please get this toxic vaccine off the market. Thank you! # 10927: Oct 24, 2009, Bridget Smith, Wisconsin I had a doctor try to force me to get my daughter vaccinated with this and I had read all the warnings and refused it. I will keep refusing it everytime they ask me too. It is not safe. # 10925: Oct 23, 2009, Linda Engle, Ohio I have 4 girls that received it last year. 2 did develop pneumonia about 1month later. The 16 year old developed chronic compartment syndrome of the lower muscle groups. This is supposed to be relatively rare. These are the only problems we have encountered and may be totally unrelated. # 10918: Oct 23, 2009, Anonymous, Connecticut My 16 year old received her shot and within one week started showing signs of exhaustion, sore throat, swollen glands. Brought her back to the Dr and told it was just a virus and there was nothing we can do. 3 weeks later she is beyond exhausted, raging sore throat, two more swollen glands and was tested for Mono which turned out positive. She went from a bundle of energy to barely getting through the day. one week after mono she suddenly broke out in a horrific rash on her entire torso which was hive like and again we raced to the Dr to hear that this is an allergic reaction to something and not to worry. I cancelled her 2nd shot yesterday after deciding there is a correlation between her getting the first shot 8/4 and her continuing health problems 2 and half months later. She will not be getting the other two doses. # 10912: Oct 23, 2009, Anonymous, Utah I have a cousin that mysteriously received mono after the first shot, recovered and received lupus after the second. Her dreams of joining the military and serve her country are now ruined because she tried to prevent a desease, but the price of that was gaining another desease # 10900: Oct 22, 2009, Irina Zelenko, New York I would like to understand what's going on with my daughter after the second shot. # 10893: Oct 22, 2009, Terri Hardcastle, Oregon My dear friend's daughter Ashlie Snyder has been stricken with Guillain-Barré Syndrome just days after receiving the Gardasil vaccine. She is going through a tough battle right now. # 10884: Oct 21, 2009, Vicki Harvey, California My niece has been diagnosed with an auto immune disease which is extremely uncommon in teenagers, diagnosed when she was just 17 yrs old. She is now 19 and has been unable to get out of bed for 3 weeks due to a flare up and excrutiating pain/weakness throughout her body. The specialists are unable to explain. Please please help. Hear our cry!! # 10882: Oct 21, 2009, Anonymous, Kansas Many years ago I worked in a State Hospital. I was shocked by how many of the residents where there because they had developed high fevers, and brain damage after a childhood vaccination. .. And that was back when babies and children only got one or two shots at a time. Now days they are poking 4 or 5 shots at once into babies. Is it any wonder that there is so much ADD/ADHD, Autism and other nerological problems in childres today. # 10880: Oct 21, 2009, Julie Barrionuevo, Florida I have a friend whose daughter took Guardasil and w/in hours started having problems. Horrible stomach cramps and migranes so bad we had to whisper around her. She now has tons of problems but the doctors cant seem to diagnose her or give any answers but they refuse to admit that the vaccine was to blame. What is she supposed to do when no one can figure out what is wrong with her. It is a parents worst nightmare! # 10877: Oct 21, 2009, Jamie Hougas, Illinois My daughter got the Gardasil shots and shortly after started having severe stomach pain. When we got the shots, it Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now was not listed as a side effect. After getting the shots, Merck now lists it as a side effect, but now it is to late. She has been in and out of the hospital with no answers. Please help these girls so no one else has to suffer like she has. # 10844: Oct 20, 2009, Anonymous, Colorado Doctor's offices are giving this shot to girls under 18 without parental consent and knowingly against the parent's wishes - once confronted they have no accountability for their decision nor do they feel they have violated parental rights for minors; what's next, manadorily spay and neuter our children before they can go to school too? # 10829: Oct 20, 2009, Anissa Gray, Indiana NO but my VERY good friends daughter is forever injured form this shot... Something must be done... # 10809: Oct 20, 2009, Andi Kendall, Georgia My 25 year old daughter has suffered extreme back pain, menstrual periods that don't end and excessively painful cramping, fatigue, and extreme headaches.

She is scheduled for a laprosocopy next week. # 10808: Oct 20, 2009, Anonymous, Iowa My two daughters were injured by the Gardasil vaccine 2 years ago and have yet to recover from the side effects. This vaccine is danagerous and harmful. Please investigate this vaccine and pull it from the market before any more girls are injured! # 10807: Oct 20, 2009, Rhonda Durham, Missouri Unfortunately another child has to suffer and at what cost? When will the drug companies and insurance companies put lives 1st and $$ 2nd. This is a perpetual cycle and it is imperative to stop NOW. This vaccine has got to be removed from the market and studies performed to help reverse and heal the devastating side effects crippling the girls. We know Steffanee Richardson and have seen her vibrant young life turned topsy turvey by this vaccine. Remove this from the market NOW before another child's life if ruined or worse, dies. # 10803: Oct 19, 2009, Anonymous, Missouri I am a Middle School/High School Nurse and am seeing several girls who have daily, sometimes hourly, seizures/SEVERE muscle contractions (so severe that their back arches so much their head almost touches their feet), obviously causing an incredible amount of pain, and this is only one side effect they are dealing with. These girls are all under the care of Primary Care Physicians, Neurologists, OB-GYN's...all lab tests come back normal, all radiologic scans are normal, they do not use drugs...they have been told it could possibly be linked with their recent Gardasil vaccine. If this IS a possibility, more research should be done before more young girls are harmed. Thank you for your consideration! # 10800: Oct 19, 2009, Theresa Bohn, Massachusetts For OVER a year and a half since the 1st Gardasil shot I have been experiencing sharp, sudden abdominal pains, SEVERE CONSTANT head aches (really SHARP pains and pressure in my head), muscle twitches/spasms everywhere! heart palpitations, pain, weakness and tingling in my arms and legs, difficulty swallowing, neck pain and more. After the 2nd shot everything got progressively worse and is STILL getting worse. An x-ray showed my spine in straightening in my neck and ct-scan showed my intestine is swollen, but all other tests have come back normal. I have no real diagnosis and all the doctors want to do is give me prescriptions, but are not helping me to find the ROOT CAUSE of my symptoms. I have lost all faith in our medical system and will refuse any upcoming immunizations for my 2 1/2 year old son. I JUST WANT TO BE MYSELF AGAIN!!! # 10799: Oct 19, 2009, Laney Kemper, Missouri My best friend in the whole world, Steffanee Richardson, has been sick for about 8 months because of this. It breaks my heart every time I see her. She was once the most carefree person I knew, and now she is constantly in pain and living in fear of what each day will bring. It needs to stop. NOW. I love her too much to see this happen to anyone else. 10796: Oct 19, 2009, Anonymous, North Carolina My child can only get a public education if I agree to put toxins or carcinogens into her body? Formaldehyde, Aluminum, etc . . . In a criminal court, wouldn't the person forcing me to possibly cause harm to another human being be guilty of a crime and go to jail? In our country, these people are either voted into political office, assigned political positions of even more power, or invited into our communities and given tax breaks to employ people who will then develop more toxins to be forced on us without liability. How much money, I wonder, have these vaccines cost our school systems when it comes to special education funding, which is continually underfunded? If the vaccine profiteers had to contribute to the school systems, I wonder if they would be more careful about what they are promoting? Please Please stop this sick cycle of maiming and killing in the name of public safety. # 10794: Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now!

She has severe headaches, heart palpitations, constant pain in her legs and arm, she is on more medicine for her heart than my 72 year old mother who has had a quadruple bypass, she has severe nausea, tired all the time, she has no quality of life since the shot. She was going through the police academy when this happened to her. She fought to make it through only to have to go on light duty ever since because of her passing out on duty. She has no quality of life. It takes everything she has just to make it through a day at work. Then she goes home to sleep. On her days off she has to rest because she is so tired and in so much pain. Please investigate this drug. My daughter was perfectly healthy until this. Please take the drug offf the market until it is fully investigated.

They say it take two years to know how many side effects there are for vaccines. How many people will be dead by then? Also I think the politicians should be investigated to see how they are influenced by the Drug companies, and how much stocks they have in these companies. # 10733: Oct 15, 2009, Lacey Sanderlin, Tennessee Treat our children better then animals. Many veterinarians, including my own, are refusing to do booster vaccinations because of the health risks and sudden death they have been proven to cause.

Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now vaccinations as well? Why are the pharmaceutical companies not testing all the vaccinations together and checking for adverse reactions when given at the same time?

Extremely sore upper back. Aching joints in ankle, knees, hips, arms, hands. # 10726: Oct 14, 2009, Anonymous, Pennsylvania My daughter, who is a college student, was given her second shot when she went to the doctor with concerns about a lingering cough from the flu in the winter of 2007. Doctors are instructed to give the vaccine even when girls are not feeling well. Had I been present I would not have permitted her to be given this vaccine when she was not in full health. She almost fainted and experienced a fuzzy sensation in her ears and pressure in her ears that is particularly disturbing when she drives. It has been 1.5 years since she got the shot. Despite seeing an ENT who prescribed Nasonex, the pressure in her ears remains. She has chosen not to get the third shot in light of her experience. I have since learned that girls can faint within 24 hours of getting the shot. She drove herself to this appointment, and we were not aware of the potential danger in her doing so. I am appalled that other girls died while driving home from getting the vaccine during the trials. (they probably fainted). This vaccine needs to be investigated immediately. # 10714: Oct 14, 2009, Karen Donnelly, California I am a pediatric Occupational therapist and have experienced more cases of 11-12 yr old girls with Guillian Barre Syndrome shortly after receiving the Gardasil vaccine.

She has had numerous doctor visits, ER visits, and has been admitted to the hospital twice. This vaccine needs to be stopped. Jacki Lowe # 10685: Oct 12, 2009, Kathy Campbell, Virginia Because both my daughter and myself had reactions as young children to the DPT vaccine I have a heightened awareness of the need for informed consent for parents regarding vaccines (and all medical procedures). Our government has a duty to put out accurate information regarding the efficacy and side effects and a duty NOT to fast track new vaccines. It's clear to me that the US government has failed in it's duty regarding the HPV vaccine. Merck's TV advertising and lobbying of state legislatures is sadly an indication of what's behind this. It is astounding to me that the CDC recommends Gardisil for 11 year old girls when the respected HPV vaccine researcher Dr. Diane Harper has stated that there has not been enough research showing safety in girls that young. Virginia "mandated" the vaccine for sixth grade girls--it is listed in the list of required vaccines for school attendence, with no mechanism for parents to Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now know that they can "opt-out" of the HPV vaccine for their daughters. Girls have been seriously injured, some deaths have occurred and meanwhile the CDC and many state governments are still pushing this vaccine--this is government coercion. HPV is sexually transmitted and is not a danger to children in the classroom setting--yet the fast tracking has caused young girls to be injured and die. Even one injury or death is inexcusable. Follow the money from Merck to political donations and television ads . . . this is a scandal being revealed to the public. The public official who stops this insanity will be recognized as a hero. # 10679: Oct 12, 2009, Trinity Ackerman, Nebraska I just had my 11yr. daughter vacinated with the 2nd of 3rd dosese of the Gardasil shot and I am very upset with what I have read about what could happen when recieving these shots!!! Our doctor did not give us much inforomation on this and they did not keep an eye on my daughter for the 15min. after each injection as encouraged. What have I done to my daughter??? This is all about the money and I do not know why these cases have not been investigated! This is a SERIOUS matter and should be treated as so. WHAT IF those cases were your mother, sister, daughter? Wouldn't you want something done? Someone needs to help us!!! Why would the FDA pass this and or any other vaccine without furthure study an information? Theses are children as young as 9 that we are talking about? I AM SO ANGRY AT OUR GOVERNMENT!!!!! You and your families should be tested 1st and observed for 20 yrs. then get back to us with the results! THINK ABOUT THAT FOR AWHILE..................................... # 10668: Oct 10, 2009, Susan Scott, Missouri Our daughter Reba Nell Donna Scott,14 yrs old,died,two days after,get the taking Garasil shot. Reba was healthy,14 yrs old,full life. A blood clot,pop,on a Thursday,two weeks. We need to stop this Garasil shot. Before more teenages. # 10660: Oct 10, 2009, Mindy Keim, Ohio I Myself have never had a bad reaction to the shot.except for the gental warts;and,I couldn't ever figure out why?or how I got them.I went to the doctor to get the Gardasil shot,serveral times after that.While I was Broke out he gave me some cream,and they went away.This all happend when i was a teenager 17 or 18.I am now 21 and they are starting to appear again.So now i have got my explanation. Thank you all. # 10651: Oct 9, 2009, Anonymous, Australia My niece has had possible adverse reactions following the Gardasil vaccination. Even though she had already been exposed and treated for HPV cervical dysplasia her GP thought that it would be a good idea for her to have the vaccination. Symptoms following the vaccination were skin allergies, intestinal dysbiosis and candida albicans. # 10648: Oct 9, 2009, Laura Larocco, Montana A friends daughter received this vaccine and is experiencing every single side effect listed for it. My friend had to go get her from school, in CA, and bring her back home to MT. Their lives are on hold taking care of this poor young adult. # 10626: Oct 7, 2009, Jon Heiken, California WHY are some girls vomiting, passing out, developing blood clots, or suffering seizures after being vaccinated with Gardasil. WHY? What is the biological mechanism whereby this is happening? What is your explanation Merck? What's that? You have NO explanation. Unbelievable. Until Merk can answer this question for me, and given these vaccine injuries and risks, why on Earth would I vaccinate my precious daughter with Gardasil??? And, where is the safety data conducted by an independant third party? Oh, that doesn't exist! The FDA allows vaccine manufacturers to conduct ALL their own saftety trials. No conflict of interest there. Again, unbelievable. # 10618: Oct 7, 2009, Jane Morrisson, Massachusetts My daughter had a pulmonary embolism that we thought was caused by her birth control. However, I just found out she got her first Guardisil shot at the same time she started her birth control. Thankfully she survived. Coincidence? Don't you think we should find out? # 10614: Oct 7, 2009, Julia Zahn, Illinois I am a pediatric RN and I have seen many girls faint and vomit after receiving the vaccine. I also saw one girl have a seizure immediately after her second dose. # 10597: Oct 6, 2009, Holly Prothman, Washington I am 19, I received my first shot about two weeks ago. The pain of receiving it was like being punched in the shoulder. And Now two weeks later it STILL hurts it feels as if I have worked out hard the day before and it's so sore I can't use my arm very well. Also I had a horrible random dream about it... AS if my body was trying to tell me some thing.. In my dream, I was seeing the vaccination site on my shoulder turn green and spreading through my body as if my whole arm was about to fall off. I wasn't even thinking about how long the pain in my shoulder had lasted until that dream happened. And I realized maybe two weeks of pain isn't normal. I have suffered no other symptoms yet. # 10590: Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now Oct 5, 2009, Liana R, Washington Two of my cousins have received the shot and were persuaded by the doctor to take them although they did not want them. I believe it is wrong to mandate vaccination especially if the individual does not want to take the shot. The doctor/nurse can recommend it but we have the right to say no. # 10581: Oct 5, 2009, Angelina Filipova, North Carolina i am immigrant,married us citizen 3 months ago.They r forcing me to take the HPV Gardasil shot ,its like-no gardasilno Green Card. How is that fair-its not mandatory for US citizens but it is for foreigner,are we lab rats?There are registered death cases all over the world and over 2000 cases with serious side efects. I want to have children one day and what happenes if i never wake up tomorrow?Please help!!! # 10563: Oct 4, 2009, Michelle Bernardi, Washington My daughter is having unexplained rashes all over her body. Attacks of diahrea come and go for no reason. ALL of this after her Gardisil vacinnes. Please, please STOP these shots until ALL side affects information has been gathered and investigated! # 10556: Oct 3, 2009, Laurie Dean-Smith, Tennessee Our lives have been turned upside down since my daughter, 14 at the time, received the Gardasil vaccine! Now she is one less cheer leader, one less soccer player, one less soft ball pitcher, one less A, B honor roll student and one less happy vibrant girl! Like she used to be. I am one less job because of the time I have had to take off of work for her health issues. I am a single mother and this has left us almost destitute! These are NOT all coincidences. When the boys begin to die and develope seizures, paralysis, Guille-Barre Syndrome, Pancreatitis...ect...will it STILL be a coincidence? Did Merck suddenly start caring after the thousands of injured and deaths of Vioxx? NO! They just found a new MUCH improved drug that can injure and kill even more, but without the tracable accountability! Please stop them! # 10554: Oct 3, 2009, Noreena Stavropoulos, New York Thank you to all the testimonies from people that have experienced such horrific side effects from this vaccine. These reactions are too common and similar to be considered a coincidence. # 10540: Oct 2, 2009, Erika Ryan, Canada I have had no experience with Gardasil. I did however become very sick after my 2nd Hep B vaccine. I was in bed for months, and still have residual side effects over 12 years later. When my younger sisters GP was almost forcing her to get this vaccine I did a lot of research and I cant believe that physicians are promoting this vaccine so much. They are making it seem as though there is no other smart choice. I for one believe that the smart choice is to NOT get it. I believe that all vaccines need to be studied more openly and honest...especially this one. PLEASE PLEASE help us be more aware of what these people are asking us to inject into the only body we will ever have. Erika # 10529: Oct 2, 2009, Anonymous, Massachusetts To whom it may concern, 3 of my 5 children had severe reactions to shots that were never "proven". One was hospitalized with a life threatening auto immune disorder after her shot we knew she was sick but could not get a diagnosis until she almost died. Now they all have auto immune disease and multiple food sensitivities. And who has to pay for the costly foods and medical care. My children have researched the vacine debate on their own and feel that it is unsafe and unGodly. We all have a brain and use it to be informed, not driven like fearing cattle to the slauter.We want to keep ourself healthy. There are healthy alternatives to shots and the additives in the shots are not neccessary. You would not poison your dog, why would you choose to poison your children? # 10526: Oct 2, 2009, SUSAN MEEHAN, Connecticut My youngest daughter fights for her life daily from vaccine caused seizures. For the past 6 years, I have stood by this child as she fights for her life. A day rarely goes by that a seizure does not interfere in her life. Rarely a month goes by without another hospital admission to see this beautiful little girl in PICU struggling just to breath. On a good day she can bounce on her trampoline, occasionally make it through a day of school... Her reaction was documented by a VAERS report in 2004. You have no right to legislate MY CHILDRENS' healthcare. My children will never receive another vaccination, no matter what you ever legislate. I would become an ex-patriate before I EVER allow anyone to ever vaccinate any one of my children again. I will do -- as I know any good parent would -- ANYTHING to protect my children. Keep the laws out of my healthcare, and out of my children's healthcare. Thank you for listening. # 10525: Oct 1, 2009, Jenni Kahler, Pennsylvania My family travels several hours to see a holistic M.D. once a month. During our last several visits we were introduced to several young women who were all there in hopes of reversing the horrible effects they had as a direct result of the Gardisil vaccination. One fifteen-year-old girl, who was in perfect health before getting the shot, is now in a wheelchair with dibilitating arthritis, which occurred only HOURS after the shot. My own cousin has been experiencing terrible heart problems at the age of seventeen, as a direct result of taking the Gardisil vaccination. And again, she was in perfect health beforehand. It's time for America to wake up and take a look at what we are injecting into our youth, before we have no healthy children left! # 10514: Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now Oct 1, 2009, Misty Olson, New Mexico I have 4 daughters. My oldest daughter was offered the Gardasil shot when she was 12 and again when she was 13 by her doctor. We were told it was completely safe and had no side effects - so they said - why would you not get it?? Luckily for my daughter I am a skeptic and decided against such a new vaccine. I feel horrible for all the young ladies that have been injured by this vaccine under such a lack of information. Isn't this the great United States of America?? This should not be happening to our Nation's young women.. ..please, please investigate this catastrophe before more lives are lost and ruined!! # 10496: Sep 30, 2009, Anonymous, New York Dear president, We as American citizens should have the right to make informed health care decisions. We deserve the right to think for ourselves! We deserve to know! We deserve the right to make informed decisions for our children! We deserve to conscientiously choose what is best for ourselves and our children! We deserve to take responsibility for ourselves and our children! We deserve trust! We deserve the right to experience life without living in fear. # 10484: Sep 30, 2009, Keann Powley, Minnesota Yes I did, ended up finding I was pregnant (which the dr should have seen when she did tests) and it killed my unborn child. # 10464: Sep 29, 2009, Anonymous, New Jersey I have had one series of the Gardasil vaccine and after reading all these horror stories, facts, and death counts, I wish I had never even got the shot at all. Although I have not yet experienced any reactions to the shot that I am aware of, I am in fear and refuse to get the other two series of shots. I may have not experienced any reactions from the first shot, but who knows if I will to the second or third shot, and I am not going to take that chance. Although I may be at risk for reactions long-term from the one shot, I feel I'm at less risk by not getting the other 2 shots. There is no reason girls should be getting this vaccine. It's a money maker and I wish I had researched about it better before I made the choice to get it. I know that nost types of HPV is normally cleared up in your body naturally because it happened to me. I got the shot to prevent other types of HPV from happening, but I realize now that no shot is worth dying or becoming paralyzed for. Do NOT get the vaccine and do NOT let your children get it. # 10457: Sep 29, 2009, Sheelagh Hearn, Australia My niece was affected and became quite ill after having the vaccination. # 10453: Sep 29, 2009, Sue O'Brien, Australia My children have all had their immunizations as recommended by the doctor. I have always thought I was doing the right thing by immunizing them until, following the hep b vaccine, my healthy happy vibrant 11yr old daughter became ill and did not recover for 12 months. She had a myraid of symptoms, which after much research, I discovered were reported side effects of vaccines. What is going on here??? Now we are hearing of more and more problems with the Gardisil. We cannot turn a blind eye. Something needs to be done. Mr Obama, you have two beautiful daughters, please look into this for yourself and for all of us. Thankyou. # 10421: Sep 27, 2009, Teresa Allen, Washington My 16 yr old daughter was also injured by Gardasil. She had 2 of the 3 injections (Jan 9th and March 9th, 2009). Before Gardasil, she was a happy, healthy and vibrant teenager. Since Gardasil she is sick every day of her life. She has dizziness, overall weakness, numbness and tingling in both legs and left arm, back pain, neck pain, pressure headaches, vision problems, breathing problems, chest pains, racing heartbeats, brain fog, stomach problems, nausea, diarhea, weight loss, hair loss, jerking all over spells...the list goes on and on. She was an A/B student but failed her 10th grade year because she was too sick to retain what she was trying to learn (brain fog). She no longer has the energy to go off with her friends. Most days she lays in bed, in pain. This just doesnt happen to a healthy teenager!! And it just doesnt happen to THOUSANDS of other girls with no connection except they all had the Gardasil vaccine. http://www.injuryboard.com/Teresa-Allen/ # 10401: Sep 25, 2009, Jaclyn Howell, Texas Is the risk of taking a child's life or quality of life from them and their loved ones really worth all the money in the world? This sickens me that the FDA and WHO do not have any regulations in place for the risks of vaccinations, and do not hold the vaccine companies responsible for side effects and death, even though they know this vaccine was fast tracked and not tested thoroughly. I would never administer this vaccine to my child, instead I would suggest abstinence and safe sex. # 10381: Sep 24, 2009, Anonymous, Texas Ladies and Gentleman, Cervical cancer is a terrible disease. I have had many peole in my family die of various kinds of cancer and I would never wish that process on anyone. However, the risks of this drug are not completely known and the only interests that have been served by fast tracking of this vaccine throught he FDA are the interests of the pharmacutical companies, not the public. I strongly urge you to at the very least, investigate this vaccine immediately, or better yet, remove the vaccine from the market to conduct the investigation. Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now # 10365: Sep 23, 2009, Alexa Fritz, Virginia My 11 year old daughter had her second shot. After the first shot she had bad chest pains, they told me that was not a reaction to the shot. Well, indeed it is! Also muscle pains at that time. After the second shot she had muscle pains, joint pains, dizziness, back aches, painful flashing throbbing in her veins, and her second shot was 2 weeks ago. This HAS TO BE STOPPED! # 10363: Sep 23, 2009, Stacy Lange, Kansas My 17 year old daughter has been affected by the Gardasil vaccine. She has been put through many tests. Thousands of dollars have been wasted, from my pocket and from my insurance trying to figure out why she has been so ill for 9 weeks. # 10360: Sep 23, 2009, Anonymous, Arizona My daughter had 1 shot and threw up for 3 days. She did not have the other 2. I wish I had read more before she had the first injection. Gardasil is suppose to protect against 16 & 18. The most common HPV's in the US are 62, 84, 53, 89 & 61. Cervical cancer is prevented with routine paps. And most infections clear with a good immune system. What's the point of getting this vaccine and risking harm and paying Merck!! # 10345: Sep 22, 2009, Leah Feuerstacke, Tennessee My sister, Leslie, has taken her first two shots of this horrible vaccine. She has already been experiencing headaches that last for days. She will not be taking the third, thank God our family found this dreadful information on this vaccine. This vaccine has 35mcg/0.5ml of sodium borate which is a poison. Borax, also known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate, is an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid. Simple exposure can cause respiratory and skin irritation. May cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscular spasms, dullness, lethargy, circulatory depression, central nervous system depression, shock, kidney damage, coma, and death. Why are they giving our children poison? Gardasil needs to be removed from the public and banned. I pray for every little girl, every young lady who has taken this vaccine, and to those who have lost someone to this vaccine. # 10341: Sep 22, 2009, Breanna Atkinson, Canada Yes, I have. I get chronic headaches everyday for a year since I've gotten the Gardasil shot. # 10332: Sep 21, 2009, Melissa Tart, Florida I am livid that I encouraged my daughter to get this vaccine and now learn that it could potentially kill her or render her sterile and prevent her from having children in the future. The pharma industry is unimaginably corrupt and care only about their profits. They will continue to lie and mask their true intent hoping we never wake up and discover the illusion we're all under. # 10328: Sep 21, 2009, Mary Clark, Pennsylvania I know of a young lady who had a bad side effect from the drug, a situation she will have to deal with for the rest of her life. Both my daughters have been pressured to take the vaccine, but I'm waiting. They are 18 and 16. I am not jumping on the first vaccine that comes out until I see more results and more data. I think Gardasil needs to be further tested to be sure it is safe and effective for all, but more importantly, SAFE!! # 10325: Sep 21, 2009, Patricia Fulmer, California My best friend is a teacher and one of her high school students wound up seizing after the shot when she got home. They told her it wasn't related. The second round she seized then wasn't able to walk and had to use a walker. Her mother had to go 120 miles away to find a lawyer for this case because nobody wanted to touch it. It disgusts me how much power the drug companies have. # 10320: Sep 20, 2009, Anonymous, Illinois 3 young women I know have had illnesses and symptoms found to be uncommon in women their age, however, all 3 have had the Gardisil vaccine. Please pursue the proper research so further incidents will not occur. Thank you! # 10307: Sep 20, 2009, Alexandra Gayles, Texas I recently got my last gardasil shot. My arm had been hurting for about a week, so i googled symptoms of gardacil. I then found out that gardasil is the reason behind my insomnia and nausea that I have had the past 6 months. For a period after my second shot, i would puke in the mornings, and would have to miss first period. Please don't let this happen to other girls. # 10304: Sep 20, 2009, Amy Necker, Iowa MY 15 year old daughter recieved only one of the series, because afterwards she felt very ill.

Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now an autoimmune disease. After reading other peoples stories I fear she could have been even worse if I gave her the other shots. Nothing can give her back the life she had. The ad is right on t.v. My daughter is now ONE LESS teenager who can play basketball, run track, and make it through the day without a nap. I am sickened this is still on the market and that doctors are pushing this at helpless children. # 10302: Sep 20, 2009, Tara Wallace, Louisiana When I took my 11 year old to the local health unit to get her "mandatory" shots for school, including the menengitis vaccine, the nurse had already drawn up the gardasil shot without asking my prior approval. I hesitated because I had no intention of giving her that vaccine, but as always, they make you feel neglegant if you don't give your kids all their shots, so I reluctantly agrred. Almost immediately my daughter began feeling sick and once out in the waiting room past out. The nurse said this was a complication of the vaccine and not to worry. I WILL NOT give her the other two shots in this series and will NEVER again feel obligated to give my children vaccines, including my 21 month old, who I have given NO vaccines to. # 10281: Sep 19, 2009, Sheri and Ani Hunt, Illinois I know of a 17 year old in New Jersey who has been hospitalized several times since her vaccination # 10272: Sep 18, 2009, Kaylee Putbrese, Illinois My beautiful, younger sister was diagnosed with Takayasuâ ™s Arteritis (a severe autoimmune disease) just months after receiving the last of the three Gardasil shots. While it is hard to establish a link between the development of her disease and the vaccination, we do know that she had been perfectly healthy before she began the treatment and that this is not a totally uncommon occurrence amongst other young women who have completed the treatment. Gardasil should be investigated and it absolutely should NOT be made a requirement for young ladies to receive this vaccine. # 10270: Sep 18, 2009, Kim Putbrese, Illinois My daughter had the last of the Gardasil series in September of 2007. Within a month she was in the early stages of a rare autoimmune disease called Takayasu's arteritis, which causes inflammation of the major arteries in her body. I believe that the Gardasil shots triggered this autoimmune disease in my otherwise healthy, normal daughter. # 10267: Sep 18, 2009, Megan Putbrese, Ohio Within a year after getting the gardasil vaccine I was hospitalized for a week and diagnosed with a rare auto immune disease called Takyasus Arteritus. Some of my doctors believe that there is a definite connection to the Gardasil shot. I wish Merck would have been more responsible. # 10265: Sep 18, 2009, Margaret M Lee, Massachusetts this summer at my daughter's 17 year check-up, we actually felt pressured by the NP to get this shot. My daughter refused, and she was told that next year she needs to seriously think about getting the shot before she goes to college. # 10239: Sep 17, 2009, Anonymous, Wisconsin My daughter has experienced neurological problems after receiving the Gardasil vaccinations. Her doctor recently reported her symptoms to VAERS. Please stop encouraging people to get this vaccination, especially since it's only effective for 5 years and doesn't stop all forms of the virus. Thanks. # 10237: Sep 17, 2009, Rachel Osborne, Tennessee On 3/17/2008 I received my first Gardasil shot, on 5/19/2008 I received my second Gardasil shot. I started having twitching upon awakening or a few minutes after awakening, not everyday. I thought it was just the way I was sleeping. On 8/15/2008 I had a major seizure and was hospitalized overnight. I was diagnoised with EPILEPSY (Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy). There is no history of Epilepsy in my family on either side and I had no history of epilepsy. I now am under the care of Dr Douglas Wright, a neurologist and take Lamictal 300 mg twice daily. This has affected my whole life inside and out. Please help. I am only 17 1/2 now...................... Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. Rachel Osborne # 10236: Sep 17, 2009, Tammy Moon, Kentucky My daughter was vaccinated with Gardasil in 2008. She began having memory trouble and extreme fatigue. She also received the Menactra vaccine. She started having seizures and was a perfectly healthy young woman until she took these shots which were supposed to make her one less victim of cancer! She can no longer drive and is on seizure medication. This is her freshman year at college. Supposed to be a happy time, but she is in constant fear of having another one. She had a seizure while in class and was rushed to ER.I know the Gardasil is simply poisoning her. Had I known what I know now she would NEVER have gotten it.Something needs to be done NOW to get this stuff off the market before more young women ruin their health and lives. Please, please help us.I wish I could turn back time and change things. My only hope is that this will get out of her system and she can live a normal life again. Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now!

The parents need to be fully informed of what it is and how it was expedited to be approved by the FDA to recoup monies lost to lawsuits from another harmful drug. Modern medicine is only concerned with how much money can be made vs how safe something is for the general public.

After a day she began to walk again, however then she started passing out, some days every time she stood she would pass out, her blood pressure resting in ER was 55/22; the doctors couldn't figure out why. She lost an extreme amount of weight very quickly; 45 pounds within 4 months; again the doctor's didn't know why. I did some research online and found a condition called POTS; a neurological condition where the heart doesn't get proper messages from the brain. She was then diagnosed with cervical cancer; at age 16!!! This is when the pieces fell into place. I do not want this to happen to any other girls; please take this product off the market-NOW! # 10185: Sep 14, 2009, Gina Killgore, Florida 6 hours after receiving her first Gardasil injection my daughter began having chest pain.

She was an energetic honors student and had a bright future. After her first Gardasil injection, she had significant seizures and was hospitalized. Her mother was advised by the her daughter's physician that Gardasil did not cause the seizures, and so Lauren was given shot #2. Within hours, Lauren started seizing again. Yet again. The physician suggested that the seizures were not a result of Gardasil and advised her mother to proceed with the third shot. Luckily, Lauren's mother had seen enough and did not continue to vaccinate, but the damage was done. Lauren has seized regularly since the administration of the second shot, has been hospitalized on numerous occasions and has neuropathic pain along with exhaustion. Unlike vaccine manufacturers, our sons and daughters do not have multi million dollar marketing departments. Please help our sons and daughters. Don't fast track drugs and vaccines - require these companies to conduct complete and thorough research on the vaccine as well as the preservatives. Make this research available in laymans terms for parents to make the most appropriate choice for their children. And when our children start seizing and dying, as we have seen with Gardasil, please require the company to suspend drug/vaccine administration until more thorough research is conducted. We elected you because we know you are strong and can make the difficult decisions necessary to protect the future of this country. Please help our children. Thank you. # 10140: Sep 14, 2009, Jennifer Jaquith, New Hampshire I am a teacher who has a former student who was perfectly healthy but suffered neurological disorders after receiving Gardisil. I see no need for girls to receive this vaccine and am disgusted by the media frenzy that has led parents to believe that this is safe and necessary for their children. # 10107: Sep 13, 2009, Olivia Santiago, Florida My life along with many other individuals has been negatively affected by the use of this vaccine. We are not mere statistics; we are individuals wanting accountability and transparency from our government as well pharmaceutical companies. # 10102: Sep 13, 2009, Angelina Funk, Maryland My daughter is a three time state chap gymnist. After the gardasil vaccine, she had diahrea, stomach upset, miagrains so seveier she could not lift her head. she has never missed the honor roll in her life and had to fight to keep her from failing from missing so many days of illnesses # 10097: Sep 12, 2009, Lauren Barrett, Pennsylvania Earlier this year, my doctor gave me the first shot. Shortly after, I suffered from dizziness, weakness, fainting, muscle spasms, I couldn't eat, and I always felt tired. I can't even imagine what would have happened to me if I went back and received the the next two shots... # 10094: Sep 12, 2009, Betty Bolles, Oklahoma My granddaughters best friend is dying from this shot, and needs to be stopped now! # 10076: Sep 11, 2009, Elizabeth Catena, New Jersey I will home school my daughter, pay fines and sue and fight whomever I need to, my daughter will not get this vacccine. If you raise your child properly they will care for themselves and their bodies and not need this shot. # 10075: Sep 11, 2009, Suzanne Westfall, Washington No, but I had a daughter that was affected with the MMR as a teenager. She acquired chronic fatigue, painful joints and acne. At 17, before getting the MMR, she was active in dance, karate, theater and had to give them all up her senior year of high school. As an artist she could no longer hold a paintbrush or pencil and I had to type her dictated school work, because of painful joints. # 10068: Sep 10, 2009, Virginia Van vessem, New York My daughter 's hodgkin's lymphoma happened 2-3 weeks after her second round of the gardasil vaccine.

Our young women in this world are paying the price for someones neglagence.. Our young females need someone to stand up for them and say we will not let this go on.. Please listen to cries of our contry.. WE NEED HELP!!!!!! # 10006: Sep 6, 2009, Tracy Dale Wolf, New Mexico My daughters life has changed 100% She spent 9 months in several hospitals and had every test known to man done on her. She has been on more meds than most people take in a life time! She suffers so much pain. She was a honor student and now she is at 4th grade level as a 16 year old. Gardasil ruined her life! # 10003: Sep 5, 2009, Sydney Summers, Missouri My sister got this shot and became very sick please help us get gardisal off the maket # 10002: Sep 5, 2009, Vanessa Perry, California My 15yr old daughter has been in the hospital for 3 days with severe abdominal pain, colon inflammation,(all the way up into her liver.) Massive hair loss, and multiple abcesses on her gums! Hospital had scheduled surgery to remove her apendisidas. changed diagnosis at last minute. # 9989: Sep 4, 2009, Cindy Rubin, Florida A beloved family member has been suffering significantly since receiving this vaccine. She has been hospitalized numerous times with life-threatening symptoms and cannot be left alone at all for fear of imminent death. Not the way a twenty-something professional nurse expected her life to be at this point. She used to live independently and have a very active professional and personal life. She is now totally dependent on others to care for her. THIS IS NOT RIGHT!! # 9978: Sep 3, 2009, Anonymous, Tennessee I work in a Pediatric Clinic where we give Gardasil. I believe that the government's involvement in and decision to rush Gardasil to the market was a political and financial one not supported by enough research. In our clinic alone we have had several bad reactions including but not limited to severe inflammation and tenderness at the injection site to a more generalized flu-like illness lasting days. Already five death have been associated with this vaccine and yet that news is not being reported. # 9977: Sep 3, 2009, Cheri Phillips, New York I work with middle school age students. I have seen so many of them the same day that they get the vaccination, huge red swollen spots where they were injected. One of the girls had tremors, it's not right to convince parents it is for their childs safety, and in fact it the vaccine itself is not safe at all. # 9920: Aug 31, 2009, Amber Heron, Virginia My 11 year old daughter received 2 vaccines today, TDAP and Gardasil. It was recommended that we stay in the office for 20 minutes to be watched but when we left the room to check out my daughter became very dizzy and passed out. I was told that it was due to the anxiety that she had and I have request a physican come in the room and check her out. I am sure that this was a reaction to the vaccine because this happened 10 minutes after the shot was given and she was fine. I am very upset and that doctors are taking this so lightly. If she would have been a little older and have been driving this could have been deadly. # 9918: Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now Aug 31, 2009, Morgan Grove, Ohio This vaccine has forever changed my best friend. After the second shot, she turned into a different person. She slept 20 of 24 hrs a day, became incredibly weak (so weak she can barely feed herself), experienced severe migraines and naseau, as well as sensitivity to light. It is a result of this vaccine. No one should have to go through this all for the sake of making a buck. Doesn't Merck have enough money yet? 9913: Aug 31, 2009, Christina Centeno, Texas Yes,13 yo, had last shot 4/08, now has tingling/numbness in hands feet headaches inflammed knuckles tingling in face blackouts # 9909: Aug 31, 2009, Tammie Lewis, Maryland My daughter has experienced extreme hair loss after receiving her first Gardasil Vaccine shot. This is UNEXCEPTABLE. She cries everyday as she's watching her hair fallout. # 9907: Aug 31, 2009, Angie Sizemore, Illinois my daughter got it five days ago and is having headaches everyday and having stomach problems and she has already been in the er at a childrens hosptail # 9894: Aug 30, 2009, Laura Castle, Colorado I have a neice that has had a reaction to this vaccine. Why was this approved for use. It is dangerous!!! # 9889: Aug 29, 2009, Kristina Simpkins, Arkansas I am a chiropractor and I have recently had one patient that is 15 years old and has experienced twitches in her neck shortly after receiving the Gardasil vaccine three years ago. # 9854: Aug 27, 2009, Tammy Hughes, Louisiana I heard so many positive ads about Gardasil so I had my daughter receive all 3 doses. She had the most beautiful long, naturally curly brown hair. Now after the vaccine, her hair is very thin, some places you can see scalp. Doctor said Gardasil did not cause hair loss. I see now through the Gardasil sites it does. Are the doctors not given all the side effects or does NO ONE CARE WHAT THE OUTCOME FOR OUR CHILDREN WILL BE? # 9836: Aug 27, 2009, McFarland Tina, Ohio My daughter is 21yrs. old she is aactive and athletic. She has been diagnosed with neurocardogenic syncope. She has been passing out since her second shot. First shot 1/09 and second 6/09. We are walking on egg shells just waiting for the next time she passes out and hurts herself or worse. Someone needs to step up to the plate and realize that our children are not lab rats. My daughter went for a routine visit for an up date on shots for college and they told her all of the girls are getting this shot! Well I wish they would have sone their homework and told all of the side effects and had her discuss it with her parents first. It is a money making joke and we are not laughing. How come they never disclosed the fainting that was going with these girls till way after the fact? # 9833: Aug 26, 2009, Terry Harris, Oklahoma My 21 yr old daughter has problems that seem related to Gardasil # 9829: Aug 26, 2009, Anonymous, Ohio My daughter was given the Gardasil vaccine when she was 12 years old. I believed that I was an informed consumer at the time. It was recommended by her doctor, and I read all the information given to me. She was perfectly healthy, at the time of the vaccine, but immediately following became lethargic and went in & out of consciousness for several days. I did not see any reports of this on the literature. I did more research, and found out that one of her best friends had been involved in the drug testing -- and had THE SAME, and more SEVERE, issues as my daughter, over a much longer period of time (10 mos.; she was given the vaccine in 3 doses over the same period of time). Why was this information not given to the public??? They were obviously aware of it during the trial. Instead parents are left to guess what is going wrong when their daughter suddenly drops to the floor for no reason? I am disgusted that this is advertised as safe, effective, and necessary. PLEASE do not allow this blatant manipulation of the system by drug companies. As a consumer, I have a right to full, honest information so I can make an informed decision. That is NOT what's happening. # 9827: Aug 26, 2009, Anonymous, New York My niece Arianna is 14 years old and has always been a very healthy child but since receiving the Gardasil vaccine in Dec. '08, she has suffered from constant lethargy, migraines, fainting spells and seizures. She has undergone many tests but her doctors claim that it must be a genetic condition and are not willing to even consider the possibility of it being a direct result from the Gardasil vaccine. As I write this, she is in an ICU Pediatric ward undergoing further tests as she has had another series of seizures and we don't see any clear improvement in her health. Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now # 9820: Aug 26, 2009, Robin Brunner, Florida I am appalled that health officials and drug companies are not being held responsible for not reporting, under reporting, or incorrectly reporting adverse reactions to this and all viruses. Has healthcare become so much of a BIG BUSINESS that they are exempt? I am a nurse and I recently worked at a facility that held no one or the in correct people accountable for mistakes, errors, adverse effects of treatment, procedures, etc... I wouldn't take my dog to that facility to be treated and now I am to understand that the government is letting these companies and individuals get away with this type of behavior - for what - a few extra dollars? Heads need to roll - these companies who sell this vaccine and receive the 'adverse reaction documentation' need to be responsible for turning it over to the proper federal officials or be held accountable by withdrawal of finances, loss of job, loss of ability to sell to the public, loss of property, federal imprisonment. As a nurse - what am I suppose to tell my children who have children? "Yeah, Swine flu is a big concern - but take your chances with the under studied, under supervised flu vaccine??" How about Gardisal? I mostly have granddaughters - am I suppose to encourage them to receive a vaccine that is suspicious for causing death in young girls? Can't say it hasn't because of the under-reported events and under supervised administration of this vaccine. What the HELL is going on? Doesn't anyone believe in Right and Wrong anymore?? Doing things to make money at any costs is WRONG - no wonder other countries and terrorists see the USA as a capitalist country - I didn't before now but now everything is about the dollar getting to those who already have millions at the expense of 'who gives a s@#t!" As I said - I am apalled! # 9793: Aug 25, 2009, TAYE LANGLEY, Alabama my best friends daughter has had bad side effects from this.... please be careful and read all material # 9792: Aug 25, 2009, Ruth Gray, Alabama My 12 year old daughter has been suffering long-term side effects including chronic nausea, chronic stomach pain, rash on face, foaming at mouth, anxiety, tremors, eating disorder due to nausea and pain. # 9782: Aug 24, 2009, Anonymous, Oklahoma My daughter is 10 years old, and I have begun to think about getting her the vaccine due to the fact that I have HPV, 6 differnent strings. I think I would rather have my daughter risk HPV than risk these side effects that have been reported and deaths. I myself have never had any symptoms from HPV, just an abnormal papsmear when it was discovered when i 33. Now I make sure that i get a papsmear every 6 months to be safe and that isn't near as bad as the risks involved in the vaccine. To keep giving this vaccine to young girls is absurd. I hope all the parents out there research before making a decision for their child that can KILL them. The statistics are way to high!!!! Gardasil has both aluminum and sodium borate (which is in both rat poison and cockroach killer). www.medications.com/effect/view/34125 # 9772: Aug 24, 2009, Kayla Hendzel, Idaho Yes, I've had continuous pains in my hip joints, pelvic area, muscle cramps/pains, headaches, knee and ankle problems since this series of shots. After the first shot I couldn't lift my arm, thinking that the pain would go away like any other shot, but it lasted for 2 1/2 months severly. Til this day I still have pains. If I would have known more, I wouldn't haven't even gotten the first shot. So now I just live with the pain continuously being reminded of the damages this shot has done. I hope there is more research so we can stop this before more people suffer from these horrible side effects. # 9754: Aug 23, 2009, James Cooper, Kansas I have a friend who was told she would die from Gardasil but didnt give up and fought what the doctors said and is alive and well today but i dont think that you should have to take the vaccine if you dont want to and i heard boys are going to take it too. But i've seen what can happen and its not good # 9737: Aug 22, 2009, Debby Hock, California Having my daughter now 16 years of age, and myself just turning 50 I have just undergone the biopsy for HPV. With all my studies to find out there is 94 strains of HPV and this vaccine only covers 4 of those 94 strains of the HPV virus. I for one will not allow my daughter chance this vaccine. The AMA is killing so many with these so called cures. I have two kids with Autism perhaps because of one of these wonderful vaccines. But will the US government ever admit to the environmental toxin that are causing so much harm to so many families because of their wonder vaccines, and the $$$$$$$$ they can much on harming so many. # 9735: Aug 22, 2009, Deanna Long, California I have seen three girls on a news information place and the girls said they definately got bad results from the vaccine. They themselves said that they felt sluggish and physically depleted after the shots and now they live with it every day, the consequences and the results. People should not be stooped into something that could harm them instead of help them. # 9712: Aug 20, 2009, Angie Lukhard, Pennsylvania 8/21/09I am so outraged by Merck, their sales reps, and their drug pushing doctors ~ For years now and just 2 weeks ago again, the doctor was trying to push this vaccine on my now 13 year old daughter. A little voice in my head kept Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now saying "NO-don't do it!" everytime it was pushed. I listened to that little voice and OPTED NOT to get my daughter vaccinated each time. Thank God. Merck, their sales reps, and drug pushing doctors (whom I am sure get kickbacks for drug sales) should be ashamed for pushing a vaccine that is not neccessary. Papsmears detect cervical cancer already. They are hurting so many young females and getting away with it. It breaks my heart to hear and read stories of young women's lives totally taken away from them because of this MONEY HUNGRY vaccine. It really makes me a mother of a teenage daughter outraged! # 9709: Aug 20, 2009, Anonymous, Pennsylvania My daughter is only 20 years old. She received her last gardasil shot in August of 2008, and in November she noticed a rash on her face that would not go away. She went to health services at her university and found that she has guttate psorriasis. Since then, she has developed large red lesions on her back and torso. She is always fatigued and has joint pain. She was an excellent athlete in high school and was always healthy and strong. Her dermatologist says that this is incurable and can lead to rheumatoid arthritis and possible heart problems. I believe this could very well be the result of the 3 gardasil shots she received. # 9701: Aug 20, 2009, Anonymous, Michigan My daughter recieved the guardasil vaccines starting in 6/07 (14 yrs. old) six months after completeing the series she has experienced unexplained dizziness and it is at it's worse during excerise. She has been through extensive testing, and we've spent thoundsans (even with insurance) to find answers. All her test have come back normal. I am now wondering if she has been damamged by the guardasil vaccine?? I am very worried about lasting side effects of this vaccine and question whether it is safe. It is now 8/09 and my daughter lives with this dizziness everyday and it has caused so much emotional pain and physical limitations it is unbelieveable. It is time to investigate this drug further before giving it to another girl. # 9695: Aug 20, 2009, Anonymous, Texas A friend of mine has not had a period in over a year since the three doses of gardasil given to her. She is afraid that she will be unable to conceive. This has ruined peoples lives. # 9685: Aug 20, 2009, Anonymous, Canada I have a friend in the USA whose daughter contracted lupus after having this vaccine. After researching the subject on the internet I am signing this petition on their behalf. I also work at a college where posters were hung in the hallways and ladies rooms encouraging the young women to have this vaccine. I pray that not many had the vaccine. # 9673: Aug 19, 2009, Ronda Popowich, Canada The daughter of a very dear friend is now suffering from many symptoms that leads us to believe it was from the Gardasil vaccination.

How could they approved the vaccine if its fatal? My heart goes to all the families. I pray that our LORD will touch all those girls that took the vaccine that nothing bad/harm/sickness/deaths will happen to them. TO GOD BE THE GLORY !! # 9618: Aug 18, 2009, Lisa Tracy, Canada Please, do not allow your girls to get this vaccination. My daughter's life has been destroyed by this abomination - she has several kinds of seizures daily, severe nausea and vomiting, chronic stomach pain and a whole list of symptoms since she had the vaccine. She spends a lot of time lying down with me rubbing her tummy until she feels better. There is not enough evidence and not enough time has passed to know whether Gardasil is truly effective - but 28 girls have already DIED because of this vaccine. Please, just go on youtube.com and type in Gardasil and see for yourself. # 9605: Aug 18, 2009, Mary Kathryn Dunston Dunston, Illinois No one has the right to frighten our moms and girls with slanted information. The greed of our legal drug companies is no different than the greed of illegal drug organizations. Both have hurt innocent people.

Gardasil is perhaps THE most dangerous vaccine there is, along with the H1N1 flu vaccine. Unfortunately the pharmaceuticals & the FDA are in collusion, and so the only interest they have is money, and a blatant disregard for human life. # 9555: Aug 15, 2009, Yvonne Stevens, Ohio My daughter Shawna became a diabetic after her first shot .Now for the rest of her life she will have to take up to six shots a day. # 9542: Aug 15, 2009, Julia Cranny, Pennsylvania I had been diagnosed with a common form of HPV. My gynecologist suggested that I get the Guardasil shot to help prevent any further problems. I got the first two of the three shots. I now have seizures, memory loss when the seizure occurs and I have to be on medication to help prevent them. I NEVER would have gotten shot if I had done my research. Now all of these young women have to live with the consequences and Merck just gets to keep on making billions of dollars every year.

Since June she has continued to have chronic fatigue, low grade fever, severe abdominal pain, headache and heart palpitations. Every blood test and ultrasound has come back normal and we are convinced that her debilitating condition is due to the Gardasil vaccine. # 9362: Aug 11, 2009, Nathaniel Lane, California June 6th 2008, my then 18 year old niece was injected with the HPV {Gardasil} and boosters for Hep A, Hep B, IPV, Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now and MMR. On Saturday the 7th her face started to swell and she developed uncontrollable twitching in her face. She was taken to the emergency room. As the uncontrollable twitching spread to the rest of her body, it became more like siezures. She was taken by ambulance to Walter Reed Medical in Maryland. A battery of examinations all came up negative showing a viral or bacterial connection. The doctors admitted it was the vaccines and were to file a report to VEARS. She was on massive doses of drugs to control the involuntary body and facial spasms. The top neurologists at Walter Reed had no answers. Fortunately, she seems to have recovered. My niece is a star athlete and A student. # 9328: Aug 10, 2009, Anonymous, Connecticut I am a health care provider and hearing all the risks and side effects of this vaccine, it is astonishing to me that the FDA continues to approve its use. Clearly, it cares nothing of the wellfare of the girls who are being vaccinated, and seems to side with the moneymaking powers that be. # 9321: Aug 10, 2009, Denise McCallaCreary, California My daughter got the shot in June. She is now complaining of bad pains in her side. My first suspicion was the shot but my daughter tried to dispel it saying she got the shot in June and it is now August 2009. I was getting ready to call our Doctor when I received this You Tube on the effects of Gardasil from a friend. OMG! I wasn't sure I wanted her to have the shot and held off until now. She just turned 18. I trusted her Pediatrician who expressed confidence in it. He has been taking care of her since birth and I felt if there were any problems, he would not recommend the shot. I pray God my otherwise healthy daughter is not going to suffer because I made a decision w/o doing my homework. # 9211: Aug 9, 2009, Karlie Cole, Minnesota We have two friends who have had spinal afflictions from this vaccine. No young girls should wind up in wheelchairs to "prevent" a disease! Not ever! Not even one! Isn't that where vaccines started? To prevent people winding up in wheelchairs from polio? Stop this madness now! # 9210: Aug 9, 2009, Samantha Ellen Schaaf, Minnesota I have currently graduated from high school and would like to share a story of a girl who when I was in the 8th grade and she was in 7th she went in for gardasil shots and then not but two days after something went very wrong. She was rushed to the emergency room and showed up at school in a wheel chair. She had had some sort of reaction to the gardasil shot and her spinal cord had begun leaking into her spine unnoticed which to this day has kept her paralyzed. Another one of my friends during high school experienced reactions to gardasil. She went in for her shots and on the second round came home with a serious headache. Her mother decided right off the bat they were gonna go get her checked out. The doctors told her her brain had begun to swell and they were very glad they brought her in in time to be seen before it was too late. It is already too late for some. When I went in for my routine pap smear this last fall the nurse asked me if I had any interest in getting the HPV shot, she continued to tell me how it would help protect against HPV for life. I proceeded to tell her the two above stories. According to her she had never heard of any negative side effects caused by Gardasil and claimed they must just not be true. Why are our nurses drug pushers these days and not informed health advisors and protectors from things that may harm us or at least they could lead us towards makin decisions for ourselves about medications, vaccines, and surgeries etc. But they need to provide information so one can make an educated decision after they have weighed all the pros and cons. Quit pignoring this issue. Let's do something. PLEASE help us young ladies and everyone else who will be effected by this. # 9192: Aug 9, 2009, Maryl Millard, California since completing her Gardasil vaccine my 16 year-old daughter has had constant headaches for months, the cause of which her pediatrician cannot identify. # 9182: Aug 9, 2009, Heather Terry, Wisconsin My daughter Emily had a bad reaction to the first shot were she felt really sick and slept for 8hrs, her second shot she passed out and was out of it for two days. We will not get her the third. # 9159: Aug 9, 2009, Anonymous, Georgia I have not had a gardasil vaccination, but was diagnosed with having HPV at the age of 30. My gynecologist stated that it was sexually transmitted. Before I started kindergarten, I was treated for plantar warts, which is caused by the human papilloma virus, on the soles of my feet and have various unnoticable flat warts on my body even today. I was thrown in this general category of have an STD, when I know that I carry this virus in my body. There is not enough research or information out there. # 9083: Aug 9, 2009, Joanna Hoekstra, Pennsylvania Please consider banning this vaccine! I watched a young girl's reaction to it at the doctor's office last year. She lost all control of her body as she fell to the floor in seizures. It was shocking and sad. We are doing more harm than good to our young people. I will not allow my children to get this. # 9054: Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now!

Lomme, Texas As a former teacher, I am horrified that Gardasil vaccines are required for girls entering sixth grade in my local school districts. Since Gardasil is a vaccine to "prevent" cancer from an STD it seems especially ridiculous to give a vaccine to 11 and 12 year old girls who are most likely not yet even sexually active. Please investigate the Gardasil vaccine for the safety of all girls and young women in the U.S. # 9030: Aug 9, 2009, Vicky Keating, California My daughter is 12 years old and her doctor is putting preassure on me to allow her to get the vaccine. I am reluctant and would like for tests and an investigation on its safety and benefits done. Thanks 9012: Aug 8, 2009, Leslie Stewart, Wisconsin My granddaughter had two courses of treatment and became very ill! No more! # 9006: Aug 8, 2009, Anonymous, Illinois My daughter just turned 18 years old and she signed a privacy act with our family doctor so we, her parents, had no voice in her medical care. This was highly encouraged by her doctor ... so I was asked to leave her side upon her first pelvic exam and became outraged because she felt intimidated by him as he was discussing the privacy act with her. During the time the doctor was with her (as I was escorted out of the room) he tried to talk her into this deadly Gardasil vaccine. She became frightened by the pressure and insisited that she did not this vaccine. Knowledge is power and we had recently discussed this at the dinner table. She also requested that I have access again to her medical records due to the pressure she felt without my being there by her side. We must not stand aside and watch our children be injected with lethal chemicals. I have a son who had a full seizure in a doctors office 3 years ago. He was given his vaccinations for high school. The rest of this story is a nightmare and he will never be the same. His poisonous vaccinations were a DPT cocktail. God bless all of you as we fight this fight together. # 9001: Aug 8, 2009, Anonymous, California Our daughter had an autoimmune reaction (Still's disease) to a tetanus vaccination and was in a wheelchair for years as a result.

My brother had a reaction to a flu shot and developed Guillan Barre syndrome , nearly died and spent a year in rehab. We dont know what kind of lifelong sympmtoms he might have had because he was drafted and killed in the Viet Nam war. # 8968: Aug 8, 2009, Anonymous, California I was diagnosed with a high risk strain of HPV 6 years ago and after regular paps and an increased dosage of Folic Acid, my immune system cleared the virus itself. I was propositioned many times to get the vaccine, despite the fact that I had already been diagnosed with a certain strain, because my doctors believed that it may help prevent against getting the other strains as well. I'm glad that stuck with my initial decision against the vaccine and strongly encourage anyone thinking about getting it to do some research before doing potential harm to your body. # 8929: Aug 8, 2009, Theresa Hale, Australia A silly friend of mine had the first shot before i could tell her about the side affects her doctor failed to mention. She came down with a severe flu, was bed ridden for 3 weeks & developed a cold sore (she had never had one before). What's the go?????? Watch out for the "H1N1" ("swine flu") vaccine coming soon. # 8897: Aug 8, 2009, Anonymous, New Hampshire Daughter reacted very badly when took the first shot of Gardasil. I stopped after that.

Don't LET THIS HAPPEN to your LOVED ONE, IT CAN BE PREVENTED!! # 8782: Aug 8, 2009, Rosemary LambMourey, New Jersey I think it was quite odd that not even 6 months after receiving her first shot of the HPV shot, my then 15 year old daugher developed painful lumps in her right breast. Since then she has had to have 3 surgeries (in one year) to remove a total of 5 lumps. Although the masses were deemed "fibradenomas" and not cancerous. I believe that there could be some coorelation between the vaccine and the growths. She WILL NOT be continuing the vaccine series. # 8771: Aug 7, 2009, Daniel Arnold Jr, Indiana My niece was affected and was permanently altered before she turned 14 yrs. of age and now has limited movement and no speech, put a stop to this now. # 8769: Aug 7, 2009, Charity Savage, Indiana My 13yr old niece has always been a healthy, active and straight A student. Then on 11/5/08 during a routine physical, she received her 1st dose of Gardasil. On 11/28/08 she started to complain that she felt weak and had a headache. Since it was 2 days after Thanksgiving we thought that she was tired from all the holiday activities. On 11/29/08 she had a headache and stayed in bed all day. She got up that afternoon & had 2 seizures. She was rushed to the ER. As of today, March 8, 2009 she is still in the hospital in Intensive Care Unit. She has been in critical condition since. Within 2 days after her seizure, she lost the ability to eat,speak,walk and communicate in anyway. She is completely unresponsive. She is on the ventilator, she is basically in a coma. We do know she has an viral infection with a shadow on the left side of her brain. All of the testing that has been done all show negative for any illness or diseases. We are still unsure if she will come out of this. This has been completely devastating to our family. We have no answers from doctors. Even though we know in our hearts that this was a side effects from Gardasil. I don't know if they will ever fully admit it. We are left to watch and wait. That is what the doctors tell us daily.. # 8760: Aug 7, 2009, Joseph Griel, Arizona yes. death by seizure after administering second shot. # 8755: Aug 7, 2009, Anonymous, Florida I have a friend whose teenaged niece had a seizure and died after receiving this vaccine. # 8723: Aug 6, 2009, Pauline Collins, Missouri Yes, my grandaughter Amber Leigh Kaufmann suffered a seizure quit breathing Rescue was able to start her breathing but she never recovered.

Please investigate the dangerous side effects of Gardasil because who knows if my Lupus was caused by or connected to this shot. # 8661: Aug 4, 2009, Felicia Beaumont, Australia I have had adverse reactions to Gardasil. I have acne/boils covering my entire face and also, my neck, chest and back. My body aches, my muscles twitch, it burns to breathe through my nose. My chest is tight [like I have an Upper Respiratory Tract Infection - but I don't] and I'm incredibly tired. I cannot believe this vaccine has been approved by the FDA. The risks greatly outweigh the benefits. And it should not be allowed anywhere near anyone - let alone the [now] targeted NINE year olds. # 8648: Aug 4, 2009, Kathleen Evans, Florida My two cousins aged 15 and 17 took this vaccine and both were complaining of sore arms for about a week after. They took this vaccine unknowing of the possible side effects. No one knows what the long term side effects of this vaccine could be. They could be deadly and even worse then contracting the disease it is trying to prevent. Take caution before wanting to take this vaccine. It could save your life! Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now!

I got up, walked out of the office and started seeing black and could barely walk. I sat down for a minute and felt ok, then the second I stood back up again I saw black and I nearly passed out. My parents were holding me up and had to take me back in to the doctors office. My blood pressure dropped really low and I had to lay in the office until my blood pressure went back up. I only received one shot and I refuse to receive the other shots. # 8560: Jul 28, 2009, Diane Bolusky, Rhode Island My daughter received one dose of Gardasil and spent the next year in and out of Children's Hospital (Boston) trying to determine why she could no longer hold a pencil and could barely walk. There are significant problems with this vaccine and the FDA needs to investigate further # 8557: Jul 28, 2009, Kimberly Cheney, New York I regret this vaccine. I miss the way I used to feel. I thought I was doing something good for myself, but now I can barely do anything. I was in perfect health, worked out everyday, had my dream job of working with animals. Ever since the shot this has all changed. Nine hours after the shot I got so nauseas, my joints began to have horrible pain and I was so dizzy I could not stand up anymore. The room was spinning and I thought I was dying. Ever since that day, I am always tired, I can't do anything anymore, I had to cut my hours at work drastically and school is so hard for me now. Everyday is a struggle. I can't concentrate, its hard to even keep my balance. I want to be the way I used to feel before the shot. I am only 20 years old and I feel like I have aged 50 years in the past month because the symptoms just won't go away, and no doctors know how to help me. There are some girls who are paralyzed, dead, their whole lives changed, all because they went out of their way to do something good for themselves. How does that make sense? # 8550: Jul 27, 2009, Tara Emmerson, Australia One of my friends has had health problems since she had the Gardasil vaccine. She has had swelling all over her body and aches and pains. She doesn't know what is wrong with her and the medical doctor's don't understand either. She has had lots of tests done and they still can't find anything wrong with her. The only thing she did differently was get the Gardasil vaccine. Vaccines can't be trusted, so let's look into them - see how safe they really are. # 8545: Jul 26, 2009, Kathryn Jussen, New York My neice and several friends are now suffering w/. devastating effects from this supposed vaccine.

I wish now I would have not vaccinated my older dtr. at age 16. At the time as a nurse myself I thought I was protecting her, but still apprehensive regarding the long term effects of the vaccine thinking could it cause pregnacy problems, birth defects, etc.... Not thinking of side effects that would permanently damage her health status. Thank God she has demonstrated no serious neurological side effects but in the past two years since the vaccine her immunity system is not as strong as it use to be. And I hadn't really made a connection until researching the vaccine more before consenting to have my younger dtr. receive it. I definitely will not have my 15 year old receive the vaccine. No way will I risk her health. Instead I will instill in her the need for yearly pap testing after she becomes sexually active in prevention or early detection of cervical cancer. Untill the vaccine is no longer a risk she will not be getting it. # 8502: Jul 21, 2009, Anne Sauvie, Oregon I have a niece who experienced a bad reaction after receiving her first dose of the Gardasil vaccine. She had nubness and tingling in her hands and feet for over a week after she received the vaccination. Doctors tried to say it was not related to the vaccine. The syptoms showed up with in 24 hours of the vaccination. Coincidence? I don't think so. 8463: Jul 15, 2009, Mary Richter, Illinois My daughter was sick for months with mono-like symptoms but no diagnosis of mono. She missed several weeks of school. I tracked back and there was a strong correlation to the dates she received her Gradisal vaccination.

I had a close call with pre-cancerous cervical cells and my sister in law is currently going through chemo and radiation for cervical cancer. But if this what is happening, there is no way I will give this vaccine to my daughter. Save our girls!!! # 8402: Jul 9, 2009, Charles Spratt jr, Pennsylvania We should choose what we inject us with.

Since then she has has four occurrences of anaphylaxis, and gets hives every day. Her first case of anaphylaxis occurred the night before our engagement party, and she also had to deal with hives on her face on our wedding day. We have only just become aware of all the facts about Gardasil, and are obviously shocked and very upset.

On August 27, 2007, she received her first shot. She continued the series, but her health deteriorated and we did not know why. Her severe joint pain made it barely possible to get to classes. She graduated, but is still in so much pain, that she cannot get a job. There are so many other symptoms; but, now almost two years later, the doctors have agreed that Gardasil was the common factor and triggered her illness. Take the vaccine off the market!

This time her levels are dropping faster. If you know of anyone experiencing the same problem please let me know. Don't let you children get the HPV vaccine.

After investigating the further effects and reactions of Gardasil, the poor controlled clinical trials and lack of documentation of long term effects i feel for womens safety, all over the world, the vaccination should cease administration and be kept for long term trials and testing. 8255: Jun 25, 2009, Ron Nugent, Indiana My son's eyes rolled up in his head and he passed out after recieving vacinations required for school.And my daughter has had mulpiple autoimune problems since getting a Gardasil injection. # 8253: Jun 25, 2009, Lune Rhodes, Florida I suffered from seizures in the past where I nearly lost my life and I wouldn't want to take a drug that could cause me a near death situation # 8246: Jun 24, 2009, Jeanel Stein, Kansas No. A young 15 year old girl in our city had the shot and is VERY ill because of it. # 8240: Jun 24, 2009, Tiffany Green, Oklahoma I was hospitalized when I was approx 18 months after a round a vaccinations.

I have had MRI's the last one diagnosed me with degenerative disk disease in my lumbar spine. I know have liver damage and sleep apnea. I have to sleep with a C-Pap. Since I faint all the time I have to have an adult with me at all times. Gardasil needs to be removed from the market. This hpv vaccine is even causing cancer in some girls. Which is easier to cure lung disease or cervical disease. I think you can live without your cervix. I don't think you can live without your lungs. I am only 16 and have been sick since my first shot in November of 2007. I have not had a period since my first shot of Gardasil. I found someone else that was vaccinated with the same lot. She has exactly the same symptoms. menopause in a 16 year old, fainting with migraines and leg paralysis. 8148: Jun 11, 2009, Karly Lowe, Utah I have had seizures, loss of consciousness, slurred and stuttered speech, problems with my left leg, and now I am in a wheelchair and have been for the past three days. As the days go on, the symptoms get worse and more frequent. I am going into the Neurologist who has dealt with this Gardasil crap before to see where to go from here... # 8141: Jun 10, 2009, Andrea Jones, Texas Please investigate any and all claims made by people thoughout the US. My daughter's older sister has had seizures for the past 2 yrs since receiving the vaccine and it is highly suspected that the vaccine is the cause. The cause of her illness has not been determined but I feel many medical professionals are reluctant to look into the effects of this vaccine and it is time for the leaders of this country to step up and protect our children! Please investigate these claims. Thank you. Andrea Jones # 8140: Jun 10, 2009, Jane Qualey, Maine My daughter has received 2 shots of Gardasil and her health has been terrible the past 5 months. It all started about 2 Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now weeks after her first shot. The 2 main problems have been migraines and chronic nausea. her other symptoms include dizziness, blurred vision, stomach, arm and leg pain. She is tired all the time, has no energy. Spends most of her time in her room or sleeping. She has missed most of the past 5 months of school. She has been to doctor after doctor, had tons of tests, blood work, cat scans, MRI's etc all with normal results. Next is an endoscopy, and a trip to a psychologist. Because they think it might all be in her head or emotional due to her age. She's 16. Nothing else is different in her life other than having Gardasil shots. This needs to be taken seriously and Gardasil needs to be investigated. It also needs to be removed from the market until it has been. Not investigating it would be criminal in my opinion. # 8137: Jun 10, 2009, Holli Schmidt, Kansas My daughter got the Gardasil series. Shortly after the 2nd injection she started blacking out and having horrible headaches. She also woke up in the night very nauseated which on many occasions led to vomiting. I believe the Gardasil was "ok'd" by the FDA way too quickly. This type of "fast tracking" can, and has, led to some serious injuries and side effects. Merck should have studies this vaccination longer and reviewed/acknowledged the reports of incidence of side effects/injuries from other countries where Gardasil was first introduced. Merck should have been more honest and forthcoming with these side effects. Please, President Obama, make Merck and the FDA accountable. Pull this vaccination until further studies have been done that can PROVE the safety of this vaccination or modifiy it to be safe. # 8137: Jun 10, 2009, Holli Schmidt, Kansas My daughter got the Gardasil series.

Something needs to be done for those of us who suffer. # 8120: Jun 9, 2009, Anonymous, Arkansas My cousin suffers from seizures, sometimes up to 3 a day, ever since she recieved the Gardasil Vaccine. # 8113: Jun 8, 2009, Anonymous, Arkansas I received the shot in 2007 and have had seizures, neausa, migrains, memory loss, numbness in hands and feet, brain fog. I had trouble graduating and tried to go to college but only went one semester and droped out due to momory loss. I am on lots to medication just to make it through the day. # 8102: Jun 7, 2009, Theresa Franchella, Pennsylvania Two years ago I took my daughter for a well visit. Her doctor assured me that she was in excellent health. Her doctor also told me that she should have her first Gardasil shot, and she did. The next week she could not get out of bed. Her doctor told me she just had the flu. It lasted more than a year until after seeing numerous doctors she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Her doctors all agree it was from the gardasil. My daughter has been homebound ever since she took sick. She has missed the greatest time of her life - her high school years. She has suffered with aches and pains all throughout her body, severe exhaustion and depression. She has seen a total of 13 doctors. There is no other explanation since it all started after she had the vaccine. This is not fair. We need help. Health insurance does not cover everything. It has been a real struggle. The worst is seeing what this has done to my daughter. She is a smart, beautiful young lady who had dreams and high hopes and simply does not deserve this. Someone has got to be accounted for for ruining the lives of all these innocent girls and the guilt and frustration it has put on us as parents. Something has simply got to be done. Thank You. # 8099: Jun 7, 2009, Candace Morrison, California My daughter Haven received her fist gardasil shot 11-2007. She had adverse reactions in her first year, and has been ill ever since. She has been unable to go to school, having to be homeschooled, etc. Her social activity has dropped to little to none. Endless doctors appointments and testing have lead to testing with all negative results. She is extremely lathargic, headaches, dizziness, fainting, double over stomach pain, numbness in limbs, back pain, chest pain, depression, elevated liver enzymes. She also has a new cyst in her uterus. This needs to be checked out. She is very upset and does not know why she feels like she is dying. # 8085: Jun 5, 2009, Patricia Young, Missouri I have a friend who has experienced a very bad reaction. # 8077: Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now Jun 5, 2009, Barbara MacMillan, New Hampshire My 18 year old daughter recieved her first Gardasil injection 8 days ago. She has been in a terrible state since her immunization. Nausea, dizziness, mental confusion, severe muscle and joint pain, fatigue, crying because she in so much pain. Her Dr. has ruled out other causes and stated that her symptoms are probably due to the Gardasil vaccine. We her parents are sure of it. This is the last week of her senior year in high school. She is unable to attend to her final exams or for that matter stand. We are sick with worry. Stop shooting our young women up with this toxic drug. We are appalled at the drug being approved after not many tests being done on it. Please someone, protect our children. Stop the Gardasil Vaccine! Barbara & John MacMillan # 8042: Jun 3, 2009, Martin Stivers II, Nevada I have had my grandaughter denied further medical service because she refused to have a Guardasil injection by a nurse practioner, who said " It's a lie nobody has every died from this vaccine". With this type of force and blantant lies about it there has to be something going on. Please for the sake of another young girls future investigate and stop it's use. NOW # 8038: Jun 3, 2009, Virginia Bowerman, California I had cervical cancer at 28, but whether to use the Gardasil vaccine should be a "CHOICE" not a requirement as it has become in some states. # 8025: Jun 2, 2009, Terri Stallcup, Kentucky Yes, my 11 year old had a reaction to receiving Menactra with Gardasil. It was very scary! She could hardly walk, had a high fever and was extremely dizzy. It lasted for 3 days. I did not continue with the 2nd and 3rd Gardasil vaccination because I am scared!!!!!! Terri Stallcup Louisville KY # 8020: Jun 2, 2009, Anonymous, Washington My granddaughter experienced numbing in her whole arm after the first shot. She didn't get the others, but I feel our children are given way to many shots, way to early. I don't think it should be tested on all the girls so soon. I am opposed to any immunizations being mandatory. I do believe in chastity and that is not promoted enough. # 7995: Jun 1, 2009, Lywana D Bourland, Texas Yes I have a family member that has the side effects of the Gardasil Vaccine!!! # 7980: May 31, 2009, Tiffany Valenti, Texas When I took my 16 yr old daughter for her yearly check the Dr tried to talk her into the shot and she told him "What part of NO do you not understand?" We already did our homework before the appt. My heart and prayers go out to all the young women who have had their lives destroyed by this poison. # 7977: May 31, 2009, Galand Haas, Oregon Yes, I have a daughter that developed non specific a-e hepatitis following being vaccinated by Gardasil and Hep A at the same time. This has now progressed into Aplastic Anemia and she is in a life threatening situation. She has been hospitalized for over 3 months. # 7969: May 30, 2009, Tanya Arnett, Armed Forces Pacific I have been trying to decide whether or not to get the rest of the series b/c my seizure was very brief. Some of the nurses nearby thought maybe I just passed out from low blood sugar, but the person present was adamant that it was a small seizure because of my eye movements. Plus, I have passed out only once in my life and it just felt like I fell asleep. This time I felt fine and then my body started to feel warm and tingly and I said, " I do not feel right," then I just felt like I was dissociated from my environment and like I was watching TV. It was very odd. The person present said I never lost consciousness and the whole episode was no more than 10 seconds long. So I have been contemplating the risks over the cancer benefits. also, if i have already screwed myself over with the first shot, why not get the cancer benefits out of it? Tonight, 9 days later, I was sampling perfumes when all of a sudden my body felt warm and i started sweating basically the same sensation I felt before the last time I had a seizure minutes after my garadsil shot. I sat down and took deep breaths and then it passed without further incident. The first experience was so memorable that I recognized the symptoms immediately tonight. Needlesstosay, I will not get the rest of the shots. I hope that since my experiences were short and the last one not even a seizure that it will not get worse later. i am very angry they do not mention this huge controversy on my vaccine consent form. # 7967: May 30, 2009, Naomi Pearce, Florida My daughter is 16 and received her 2nd Gardasil shot on May 11, 2009. During this visit we questioned some unexplained brusing. This led to blood work and she now has been diagnosed with ITP. My daughter has never had bruising problems before. I would like to know if this Gardasil Vaccine is what caused her to have ITP. Thank you, Naomi Pearce Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now!

Please investigate this vaccine # 7919: May 27, 2009, Sandra Parker, Louisiana I experienced an adverse reaction to this drug. I only had one injection, in my right shoulder. I began to experience numbness and swelling of my fingertips on my right hand within less than 24 hours of receiving the shot. My fingertips were like little grapes, and splinter hemorrhages developed under the fingernails. After 3 weeks of no relief, I went to another doctor who prescribed a week-long course of Prednisone. This resolved the situation. I will not be receiving the rest of the course of Gardasil vaccinations. I only hope that no further damage was done to my body. I would like to have children soon. # 7916: May 27, 2009, Toni Swain, Illinois At my daughter's last doctor check-up, the Gardasil vaccine was recommened in the futre, however, none of the side effects were ever brought up for discussion. I believe this to be irresponsible! # 7908: May 27, 2009, Susan Kotta, New York I personally know someone whose life was has been wracked by fibromyalgia, apparently caused by mandatory childhood vaccination. We all know that Merck, manufacturer of Gardasil, also manufactured Vioxx, and we all know what depredations that medication caused before it was pulled. FDA has to be properly investigated. # 7889: May 26, 2009, Katie Kelley, Virginia My neice fainted after the shot. # 7880: May 26, 2009, Vivi Vacancy, New York This vaccine affected me thoroughly throughout my body, and definetly should be investigated thoroughly. # 7877: May 25, 2009, Anonymous, Nevada My 11 yr old daughter had her 2nd shot and immediately after her eyes rolled back in her head, she turned white s a sheet, she passed out and was nauseous for hours later. the actual side effects were not emphasized enough or left out entirely! I found out more by researching this myself. The FDA CDC Merck and the media should be held accoutable for what is hasppening to our children. # 7868: May 25, 2009, Anonymous, New York I had gotten the Gardasil vaccination, and afterwards I felt very weak. # 7866: May 25, 2009, Janett Martinez, New York My sister has had strange unexplained complications since the vaccines.

Lets do something. # 7794: May 22, 2009, Jennifer Peterson, Virginia My daughter has been extremely ill - headhaches, nauseau, chronic fatigue, aches and has missed a ton of school since having the gardasil shots. We had it done because it was "highly recommended" by the doctor. I can't tell you how many doctors we've went to before, just days ago, figured out that it was the Gardasil. We KNEW it was it all started in March of 2009, but didn't nail it until yesterday.

I too, have two beautiful daughters who deserve the healthiest lives available in America. Lynn Martin # 7651: May 18, 2009, Anonymous, Maryland A woman in our church lost her daughter to this vaccine. It should be taken off the market and should definitely not be a mandatory vaccination. # 7650: May 18, 2009, Jamie Clark, Kansas My daughter has had 2 of the vaccine shots and I will not take her back for the 3rd.

After my daughter took the second shot she fainted, hit her head very hard and chipped her tooth. She is now having trouble with sore muscles (which she has never had before). I hope the FDA will take action because there are so many more adverse affect from this drug. # 7623: May 17, 2009, Anonymous, Wisconsin I had an adverse reaction to this vaccine. After I had the vaccination, I developed anxiety attacks. I have been fine for a while, but for a good year it affected my life more than ever.

Before the Gardasil vaccine, I was a Squad Leader in marching band, 2nd chair flute in concert band, a third trumpet in the jazz band, a first trumpet in pep band, alto in symphonic choir, brown belt in karate, assistant instructor to the youth of my karate class, I held down a job for two years, I was president of the Cultural Enrichment Club, and I was attending both high school and college and graduated with a 4.0. Now I can't keep my job because it hurts so badly to sit for that long, my grades are plummeting, I can barely teach, I don't have energy to do anything, I've lost many of my friends, I never know what the next hour will be like, and all I can do is hope that the pain won't take over again, and that if it does, medicine will work, which it often doesn't. Please, look at this case. Don't let other girls be hurt like me. # 7510: May 12, 2009, Rachael Vandell, Indiana I have experienced severe suicidal thoughts ever since getting this vaccine, and even medication has not helped. I am not the only person I know who has had this reaction. This is a side effect the consumer is not warned about. There is not enough information for this vaccine to be considered safe, and what information we do have is not shared with potential consumers, which is clearly dangerous. # 7476: May 11, 2009, Gina Pendano, Washington My 15 year old niece now suffers from ongoing seizure since her first Gardasil injection.

Everything that I had heard about the vaccine was positive. I thought I was doing something great for my daughter's health by having her vaccinated. Now, I am in agony over exposing her to such a dangerous and potentially life shattering drug. Two days after her 2nd dose, she experienced muscle aches and fatigue and terrible stomach pains. The next day while at school, she had a dizzy spell with blurred vision, nausea and a headache. Now I am left to worry that the worst is yet to come... it is NOT a coincidence that my daughter is experiencing these same symptoms that so many other girls have after receiving the vaccine. If I had known these facts I would have NEVER had her vaccinated. The risks are NOT worth it. # 7445: May 7, 2009, Sharon Brinegar, North Carolina My daughter recieved 2 of the gardisil shots about a year ago she now has displasia so i dont see where the shot helped her at all and on top of this she became pregnant with a empty sac dont know if that has any relation to this shot but after putting blogs on the pc it is unreal the girls this has happened to who have also had this gardisil shot.

I have been sick for almost 2 years. I just found out a couple of months ago that I have Lupus, and I strongly belive that Gardasil caused it. I was perfectly healthy before the shot and it has been all down hill since then. Please do not get the Gardasil shot!!! It has torn my life apart. I am 18 now, and I am afraid to plan for my future in fear that I may not be able to reach the furture I always hoped for. Mothers, PROTECT your children from the heartache I have had to endure. I hope for their bright futures to be all they want them to be!! Melodie # 7368: May 1, 2009, Anonymous, Tennessee My daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabeties after receiving the Gardisil vaccine along with 3 other vaccines. Her symptoms started immediately and tests show her disease started around the same time she was given the shots. Research shows that many children have had reactions when given more than one shot along with the Gardisil. Other problems with pancreas have been reported as well. She is also suffering from extreme nausea and dizziness. She is home today for the third day due to this. I wish I had researched this drug more before she was given the shot. # 7356: Apr 30, 2009, Anonymous, Virginia A friend of mine had the Gardasil vaccination and reported extreme pain all throughout her body. Luckily, she hasn't had more symptoms, but I questions the safety of this vaccination and I don't think it should be madatory for immigrants to have it. # 7348: Apr 30, 2009, Chelsea Savin, California I'm a 21 year old woman, previously a breakdancer and very active. Immediately after receiving my second vaccination of Gardasil I first became intensely sick, throwing up to the point of dehydration. I had to be taken to the emergency room, because I was throwing up so frequently that I becoming dangerously weak. That was, however, nothing compared to what would happen next. A few weeks after receiving the second shot I went on vacation. While on vacation in the middle of the Costa Rican rain forest, I suddenly and oddly began loosing feeling in my body. It started in my legs and progressed to overtake my entire body. Nearly 6 hours from a hospital, I went into anaphylactic shock. My breathing shut down and I almost died there. I did not regain feeling in my body for 3 months and sometimes would awake paralyzed. I experience intense shooting pain throughout my body, especially in my ears and behind my eyes. I have spent the last 10 months on disability, unable to work and fatigued beyond my comprehension. To this day, I do not feel the same and still experience symptoms daily. Rashes that itch intensely, the swelling of my muscles after minimal excercise, tremors ( an involuntary movement) that can become so violent that they bring my entire body into the fetal position, pains in my liver and lungs, blurring of vision, numbness in patches of skin, temporary paralysis of my muscles, pain in my joints, swelling of my face, nose, and throat, difficulty breathing, and an overwhelming depression because everyday I awake to find that I'm not the healthy woman I once was. I'm forever changed and damaged irrevocably, my health is impaired and I'm left without answers from doctors. They tell me they've never seen anything like it or that it's impossible, but I'm left living everyday with this condition. Is this what America has been reduced to? A nation not of the people, but of large companies that are premitted to exploit the health and lives of human beings? Where the almighty dollar is worth more than a life? Where there is no responsibility to answer to and the people in power can be bought off? That's not the America I remember. It's not the country I take pride in... Hold Merck responsible. These are lives at stake! Please find the soul of America again... I need something to believe in. Sincerely, Chelsea Savin # 7341: Apr 29, 2009, Heidi Harry, Tennessee I have 2 of the 3 shots so far. I have been having extremely bad stomach pains to the point I woke up one morning feeling as though I was on the verge of having a heart attack. The pains were sharp on my upper stomach/close the chest region. The pains lasted for three days straight and gradually faded out. I have also been experiences leg pains. It did not even cross my mind that it could be a side affect to this vaccine until my sister questioned the side affects and we went to the site where it had these symptoms listed as the known side effects. # 7333: Apr 29, 2009, Kathleen McGourty, Illinois My daughter received her first shot on Feb 23rd. She experienced severe pain at the site and joint & muscle pain for a few days. Now she struggles constantly with sharp stabbing pain under her ribs and persistent sour, upset stomach.

She is not going to have any follow up shots. # 7330: Apr 29, 2009, Steve Colgan, Iowa My step daughter is having seizure's / blackouts / headaches which started after her 3rd Gardasil shot. She is 18 and is unable to drive due to seizure activity. She is taking at least 6 different medications to try and control her seizures. We initially thought she was taking some sort of drug to cause this problem, but she was checked several times in the ER Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now after her episodes and was found to be clean. No family history for generations on either side of epilepsy or any type of seizure activity, so the doctors were confused. The only answer we could find was this all started about 3 weeks after her 3rd Gardasil shot. It keeps slowly getting worse for her and is almost untolerable for her to go to school now. College is probably not an option anymore. Soon. Life may no longer be an option. # 7326: Apr 29, 2009, Connie VanWingerden, Alaska My neice recieved two of the three shots and has had an unexplainable episode of Bell's Palsy. I have granddaughters which I believe should not be made to take this stuff even though their parents don't agree. Thankfully all of my own daughters are grown. I am also concerned about the aluminum in the vaccine. I've been told that causes Alzheimers. Please remove this vaccine from the public and never require it to be administered in order to attend school!!! # 7318: Apr 28, 2009, Kaylie Kempsell, Colorado I'm 21 years old. After receiving the Gardasil vaccine I began having symptoms like dizziness, nausea, strange rashes, etc. No one could find anything wrong. Then one day the left side of my body went numb/paralyzed. I was scared but didn't think too much of it as it went away in about 15 minutes. Four days later the same thing happened, only worse. I was slurring my speech and drooling and I was taken to the ER thinking maybe I was having a stroke. Then the massive migraine set in. It lasted 24 hours a day for over 4 months. I will be having my 5th surgical procedure this Thursday in an attempt to fix this pain. I'm a 4.0 college student with the goal of going to medical school, but I had to take this year off of school after spending over 9 weeks bed-ridden. I've been to a dozen different doctors and had numerous tests done...no one can find anything wrong. Looking back, my symptoms started at the same time I received the Gardasil vaccine. I can only assume it is to blame. I hope they take this vaccine off the market and conduct more research before vaccinating more girls. I don't want anyone else to go through what I've experienced. # 7312: Apr 28, 2009, Christina Manthey, Colorado I have a friend who daughter is very very ill. She has been unable to attend school for most of her sophmore year The timing of her recieving her Gardasil shot and the onset of her illness is remarkable # 7311: Apr 28, 2009, Anonymous, Texas 1 day after her first injection, my 17 yr. old daughter has become dizzy, weak, and complaining of chest pain. This is a terrible vaccination! Of course, the doctor will not attribute her symptoms to Gardasil! # 7307: Apr 27, 2009, Helen Merle, Colorado I know a young woman, my 16 year old daughter’s best friend, a formerly energetic, up for everything type of person who has been very ill since taking this vaccine. At times she is “up” but more often than not, she’s not up for much. She was a 4.0 student on track for an International Baccalaureate diploma and now is below a 2.0 GPA and looking at repeating her second year of high school. Life is already tough enough on teenagers without knowing how you are going to feel from one day until the next; looking forward to a milestone event such as homecoming, prom or a school trip only not being able to participate because of the way you feel. My own daughter had only the first injection and we never went back for the second and third injections after the reports started surfacing on this drug, fearing the dangers they may cause to her. The first injection was given after a light-hearted, nothing to fear type sales pitch by her pediatrician. And I do feel we were given more of a sales pitch rather than facts from a doctor we have trusted for many years, but this is not the only doctor that has presented this vaccine in this manner these girls and their parents. This vaccine appears to have been rushed though the FDA approval process with no study of any long term effects to young people with their whole life still ahead of them. Now with the variation of this drug designed for males do we have yet another thing to be fearful of? More long term studies need to be made on this drug before more of our youth are faced with the same results as this young woman. With two young daughters who on the threshold of the age to received this drug I would be curious if the President and First Lady are going to have their lovely, lively daughters vaccinated? Please, do not do more harm to our children, our future! # 7302: Apr 27, 2009, Micaela Cassidy, Illinois My teenage cousin became very sick immediately after her second injection on May 2008. She still suffers, and has spent 80% of her senior year in high school at home. She has been treated at some of the best hospitals, and no one seems to be able to stop the flare ups, which can cause her so much pain she cannot walk. She has lost a lot of weight. Every time I see the mother-daughter advertisements on TV, I cannot help but think this potentially dangerous vaccination is being guiltily shoved down our throats. BEFORE they knew it was substantially safe. # 7301: Apr 27, 2009, Patricia Kaua, Colorado My daughter had the 1st shot and has been sick since October 2008 no one wants to help. We have had so many test done we feel like we live in the hospital. A straight A student is barely passing now being she is so sick she can hardly make it to school. # 7295: Apr 27, 2009, Judy Braiman, New York My daughter refused to allow the pediatrician to give my granddaughter the Gardasil vaccine. The doctor then dropped my granddaughter as a patient. Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now # 7292: Apr 27, 2009, Anonymous, Maryland I am the mother of a 19-month old female who just recently experienced a seizure due to a state-mandated vaccine. As a parent, I understand the reasons that we as parent's should get our children vaccinated against harmful diseases. What I DO NOT understand is why these same vaccinations are laden with so many harmful ingredients and why the pharmaceutical companies, government and medical authorities are continuously allowed to hide information regarding ingredients and the negative effects of the vaccines we are giving to our children. While my daughter is too young to be affected by Gardisil now, if this vaccine is not investigated she may be in the future. President Obama, I beg of you - Please investigate this matter. For our children! # 7288: Apr 27, 2009, Anonymous, Utah My daughter began having seizures 7 days following her 3 vaccination. Since that time she has had 6 possibly 7 total seizures and will be on anti-seizure medication for at least 2-3 years, with potential side effects to any unborn children. Stop these big drug companies from fast tracking their drugs in order to line their pockets at the cost of our childrens' health. # 7281: Apr 26, 2009, Debra Cohen, Georgia My 17 yo daughter had her first shot 2 months ago.Since then she has been in the hospital twice,a week each time.(and 4 other trips to ER)She has headaches,blurry vision,right side tremors and weakness.Spasms throughout her body.She has missed a month of school.All her MRIs and CTScans have been normal.She became ill 2 days after recieving the vaccination on her right side.Coincidence? I think not.She was a healthy full of energy cheerleader who now struggles to have the energy to get off the sofa.Open your eyes this vaccine is killing and hurting sweet precious little girls.STOP THIS INSANITY!PLEASE!! # 7280: Apr 26, 2009, Kathleen Lancial, Iowa My daughter, Alexa, started having uncontrolled seizures within a month after receiving her 3rd Gardisil Vaccination at the age of 17 years old. She continues to have more and more uncontrolled seizures. She is now taking 5 different seizure medications. Prior to the vaccination, she did not take any medication on a daily basis!! She was a healthy, vibrant, beautiful, active teenager. Now she can barely tolerate any activity!! # 7275: Apr 26, 2009, Tena Eggers, Missouri I will not let my daughters get this shot after what it has done to two girls in our community. These girls have literally become disabled. They are trying to go back to school but cannot be in school for full days because of their reaction to this shot. # 7245: Apr 24, 2009, Becky Wells, Arizona Our friend's granddaughter has been ill with seizures and all kinds of reactions after taking this injection. With many deaths and increase in seizure activity, we need to get this drug OFF the market! # 7243: Apr 24, 2009, Lorinda Althouse, Indiana My 17 year old daughter has always been healthy untill she started recieving these shots. Since the shots, she passes out,pulse drops,blood pressure drops and now she has seizures after she passes out. She sees two different cardiologists and everything is unexplanible. The doctors cannot find any reason for this to be happening. She is taking medicine, which it is not working.I feel this shot is to blame, nobody can convince me differently. When the company made this vaccine, they made sure it could not be traced back to Gardasil. I would love to speak to someone more about this, we as parents have the right to voice our opinion and it needs to be heard. # 7227: Apr 23, 2009, Lauri Beamish, California My 27 year old daughter is one of many that had a reaction to this vaccine. I'm lucky I'm not one of the mothers on YouTube talking about her as a memory of the past vs. having her to hold and continue to watch grow. I just can't understand how you can let this travesty go on. Are you going to subject your daughters to Gardasil? Will the First Lady take a chance with your daughters' lives? They're suggesting giving it to 9 year olds now. I would hope after educating yourselves on this vaccine, that you understand what the public has been going through. I beg you, please do something before any more young, vibrant children die or have a life without living. # 7214: Apr 23, 2009, Anonymous, Colorado My daughter had the first shot and missed a week of school because of diarrhea, nausea, dizziness and a stomach ache. She is not getting the second or third shot and I am worried about the affects of the first shot in the future. # 7204: Apr 22, 2009, Marni Cliff, Idaho My 15 years old daughter has ongoing seizures because of the Gardasi vacinnation. STOP THIS VACCINATION!!! 7201: Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now Apr 22, 2009, Karen Crossley, New Jersey My daughter has developed warts both on face an vaginal after getting the shots, now she is developing fever blisters every month. It has been 2 years since she got the first shot and symptoms are still surfacing. # 7195: Apr 22, 2009, Kathy Califano, Idaho My fifteen year old granddaughter had a grand mal seizure following her first (and last) Gardasil vaccination shot. She is now on a total of 800 mg of two different seizure medications due to her ongoing seizures. Gardasil has ruined her life. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR DAUGHTERS AND GRANDDAUGHTERS TO GET THIS VACCINATION and please spread the word so other lives will not be ruined. # 7179: Apr 21, 2009, Shannon LaBare, New York I am a Nail technician and one of my customers has had severe effects from the Gardisil vaccine. I witnessed this young 17 year old come to my shop in June 2008, she was healthy. Then to find out within a couple weeks later of her visit she was fighting for her life with no answers to why. She arrived for a nail service a few months later and she was NOT the same healthy teenager. My heart was fearful/broken for her and her family. With information I have read on NVIC, I mentioned to her mother if there was any vaccine she may have had. I gave her mother the NVIC website and as I looked up the information on GARDISIL. I was asstonished to what I had read. That same day the story this young girl shared with me during her service of how she felt before collapsing was exactly what I read. Except she is still alive to talk about it and many of the girls I read about had died. Her mother read the information and couldn't believe that she tried to save her daughter from having cervical cancer to find out that it almost killed her. I thank God for all the people with NVIC and their knowledge. Keep up the support and hard work, more people are learning about the effects of vaccinations. # 7170: Apr 21, 2009, Kathryn Cramer, Pennsylvania I have personally had an experience with cervical cancer. And overcame it without the Gardisil Vaccine. If this vaccine continues to stay on the market and given to young girls, and soon boys, then it really just shows what a sick world we live in. People have DIED from this vaccine!! And some that haven't died are still suffering severe adverse reactions that involve the Central Nervous System. This girls will never have the life they once had back. For once these drug companies need to care a little more for humankind and little less about money! 7162: Apr 20, 2009, Brielle Hayes, South Carolina I have had my first shot of Gardasil thus far. I have not yet had a reaction - but I just recently had to go through the LEEP procedure because I had pre-cancerous cells in the lining of my cervix. I'm taking the Gardasil shot to prevent further infection of other types of HPV. I am 21 years old. My younger sister just turned 14 and her doctor has already recommended the shot for her. I want the government to take more action in making sure this shot is completely healthy for younger girls. my sister has had many more health problems than I ever had and I would hate for that to have some impact on how the shot affected her. Sincerely, H. Brielle Hayes # 7149: Apr 18, 2009, Anonymous, Illinois I received the series of shots about a year and a half ago. Since then I have had constant headaches that do not go away with over the counter medicine. Heart Palputations. The feeling of pins and needles in my extremities as well as other symptoms post the vaccine. About a week ago I found out the I have Pre Cancerious Lesions on my Cervix. I decided with my mom to get the vaccine so I wouldnt have to go through this horrible illness like a friend of mine had, whom now only has 5% of her cervix left. I figured I would be 1 less just like the commercial stated but now I am one more person who has to go through this. Im 21 years old and I have pre cancer. # 7142: Apr 18, 2009, Shannon Spagna, Florida I just received my 2nd Gardasil shot and 2 days after getting it have developed an itchy, raised, red rash on my arm at the injection site. Pain is accompanying this rash. I am 26 years old and have never had an adverse reaction to any vaccinations I have received in the past. I refuse to go thru with the 3rd shot. I hope my symptoms dissapate. I send my sympathy to those who have experienced far worse reactions than I have, even death. Take Gardasil off the market!! # 7121: Apr 16, 2009, Marion Barker, Canada My daughter received parts 1 and parts 2. She suffered seizures, loss of consciousness after part 2. She was hospitalized for three weeks. Prior to that she was a healthy, active 17 year old girl. This happened in February and March 2009, we are still trying to find help for her physical and mental symptoms.Doctors and hospitals do not understand what this is about yet, we all need to become vocal about the damage being done by Gardasil. # 7116: Apr 16, 2009, Kimberly Miller, Indiana My neice add this shot and now has alot of problems and was told she has pre cancers cells. # 7105: Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now Apr 16, 2009, Veronica Wilson, North Carolina My family was devastated by the lost of my niece Moshella Roberts.She was a healthy 20 yr old. She received the Gardasil shot and died within days of receiving the vaccine. This shot has some of the same effects as ANTHRAX. I remember that Capitol Hill shut down because of the fear of ONE of them being affected--desperately seeking an antedote--14,000 girls have lost their lives what will our government do about this vaccine being the common link in their untimely deaths. # 7112: Apr 16, 2009, Anonymous, Washington D.C. My FRIEND'S 20 yr old COUSIN, Moshella (Shelly) Fanchon Roberts, took this shot in 2008 and died days later (April 5th). She would have celebrated her 21st birthday in October. If you know of anyone who has been debating on taking this shot, please have them to read into it more. I signed the petition "Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Risks NOW!". # 7092: Apr 15, 2009, Susan Rossi, Oregon My best Friend's Daughter is experiencing dizzyness, pain and nausea since her 2nd shot. She was an ice skater and now has energy to skate any longer, sleeps for hours and has missed several days of school due to sicknesses. # 7091: Apr 15, 2009, Deborah Hutton, Oregon My 13 year old daughter was vaccinated with Gardasil on 4/30/08.Immediately following she experienced severe migraine headaches & reactive hypoglycemic symptoms.Her 2nd dose was on 7/08. She has fainted twice and was sent to the ER. She has chronic fatique, extreme adominal pain, chest pain and feeling like lack of oxygen, dizzy, nausea, joint pain and weakness. She has missed 3 weeks of school this year and no longer has the engery to be a competitive ice skater or involved in school activities. We have had every test done all with normal results. The doctors have tried to put her on Birth Control, told me I was looking for Zebras when all there was - was horses, put her on Prozac and dianoised her with Conversion Disorder. The reality is there are too many girls with similar syptoms not to take this serious. My daughter will not be getting her 3rd shot! # 7087: Apr 15, 2009, Dorothy Sides, South Carolina My 16 year old granddaughter has been injured from the Gardasil vaccine. # 7080: Apr 15, 2009, Carissa Benko, California I had problems with breathing after Gardisil. This needs to be investigated if it is going to be highly recommended and for the safety of individuals! # 7078: Apr 14, 2009, Talisa Rice, Georgia I have been given the Gardasil vaccination AFTER being diagnosed with HPV. Since then, my life hasn't been the same. My sicknesses have been increased and I have so many of the side effects. I am praying to get over this and hope more research is done so that we can clearly see how this is hurting us more than it is helping. # 7065: Apr 14, 2009, Denise Lim, Malaysia I'm 23 now. I just had my final dose last Saturday. I trusted my doctor and i never realized the risks and adverse effects until yesterday. I felt dizzy and tired, difficult to concentrate. So, I checked in the internet. I was so terrified when I read about the adverse effects and deaths reports. I also watched a video clip and came across Emily, one of the victim. I'm very very scared now. If my body does not recover after 1 week, I shall consult my doctor. Luckily I stopped my sister from taking the vaccine. My mom keeps pushing her to get the vaccine. Gardasil came to Malaysia not long ago. Now, advertisement on Gardasil is every where. But not a single word on the adverse effects and deaths reports in our newspaper. Now, almost every young lady/woman wants to be vaccinated. I hope it's not too late to spread these words. # 7050: Apr 13, 2009, Jeannine Bogaard, Spain My daughter, aged 14, appears to have had a strange skin reaction. Several days after the first dose, she started feeling very itchy and as soon as she scratched herself, her skin would welt up for about 30 minutes. Afterwards, the welting, redness and itchiness would disappear. This went on for weeks and weeks. She also recently been diagnosed with epilepsy, 3 months after the first dose of the vaccination. I assume there is no relation but one wonders ... We obviously will not finish the cycle of the three doses. My older daughter, aged 17, had no reaction but given what happen to her sister, we also suspended the treatment. 7049: Apr 13, 2009, Anonymous, Missouri I am an RN and took care of a 15 year old girl who almost died from this vaccine and has a central line for nutrition to be given to her through and she ended up with celiacs disease. I wish I would of known all the side effects and deaths because I would of never given this to my 12 year old daughter!! I am horrified that I put her life at risk! It is about lives, not money!! I am sick of everything being about money--peoples lives are more important than making money off of drugs!! Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now!

Yes, daughter died from vaccine. # 7033: Apr 12, 2009, Linda Andrews, Texas My daughter received her first Gardasil vaccine at 18 years of age. Second shot at 19 and we did not get the third shot because of negative reactions. She had numbnesss and tingling in her hands and feet. She got so tired she could not get out of bed sometimes. She ran a fever and had diarreha and body pains. She showed signs of Gillian Barr. She is hypothyroid and low adrenal. Her annunal blood work showed sharp declines in Cortisol, DHEA and she also required more armour thyroid hormone to keep her TSH in normal range. It is now a year later and she is feeling more normal, but still has bouts of tiredness and we are still increasing levels of the other hormones to help her immune system. She almost could not complete a semester of school at Baylor. If I knew then what I know now, I would never have allowed my daughter to get this vacccine. I hope this vaccine has not caused her future health complications. # 7032: Apr 12, 2009, Anonymous, New Mexico The daughter of a close friend has been near death for 3 months because she took the recommended 3 doses. # 7021: Apr 11, 2009, Stephanie Keithley, California I fainted immediately after receiving the vaccine and felt sick the rest of the day. For both shots. I declined to receive the third injection # 7020: Apr 11, 2009, Phyllis Keithley, California My daughter received the gardasil vaccine and fainted immediately. This was not a listed side effect at the time. She hit her head on the doctor's desk and then the floor. It was terrible and she scared to death. Apparently the doctor should have had her sit for awhile before sending us out of the office. I don't believe this vaccine should be mandatory. Parents should have the right to decide for themselves. # 7017: Apr 10, 2009, Anonymous, Utah Yes. My 22 old cousin suffered along with her family from getting this "life saving shot." Her name was Whitney Baird and was on her mission when the side- effects hit her! I dont understand how this has ruined so many lifes and doctors are still pushing it. I see signs in my doctors office and it makes me sick to think that a girls life is in danger from this one little poster. Its not okay, and it needs to end now! # 7007: Apr 9, 2009, Valerie Harris, California My daughter took these shots, it is my biggest fear that something can go wrong. We had no idea that this product was not tested properly. Please do so now and allow some peace of mind or an awareness to watch for symptoms that could arise. Knowledge is good, stop treating the public like we are ignorant! # 7000: Apr 9, 2009, Marcus Thompson, Oregon Our 15 yr old daughter developed severe problems within a week of receiving the Gardasil shot. She now has an autoimmune disease (lupus), for which there is no cure. Prior to this vaccination, she was in perfect health and no prior issues. # 6986: Apr 8, 2009, Sheri Skaggs, Illinois My daughter recieved a dose of the Gardasil shot and not soon after she started having seizures. She is now on medicine that she will have to take for the rest of her life. Had I been better informed of the side effects of this shot I might have opted to not give her the shot as I only want what is best for my daughters. My ten year old will never recieve this shot as I now know the side effects. # 6978: Apr 8, 2009, Dawn Nance, Illinois My 18 yr. old was given the 1st. shot less than one month ago and we have had nothing but pain, joint swelling and other problems..

SOMETHING needs to be DONE NOW! # 6976: Apr 8, 2009, Candy Summers, Texas My 23 yr old niece's ob/gyn strongly suggested she get the gardasil vaccine.

After having the vaccine she developed awful migraines! The final cause was the vaccination. TERRIBLE! # 6778: Mar 30, 2009, Kelly Hixon, Nebraska Both of my daughters - Age 12 & 17 - have received all 3 shots. Shortly after they received their first shot my 12 year old started having fainting spells, dizziness, horrible headaches, tiredness that the doctors dismissed as there was just no reason. Said she needed to eat more small meals during the day, possibly low blood sugar however it has been tested & is fine. After their 3rd shot, both girls have gone to the ER with shortness of breath & chest pain. We have made repeated trips to the doctors office with many tests that came out normal, even saw a cardiologist. We have been told they are both just fine & they want to treat them for anxiety attacks. My 12 year old gets so shaky she can barely walk. She has red palms that are extremely itchy as well as other areas on her body that get rashes & itchy. The doctors say it can not be Gardasil, however, I had 2 healthy active girls that have never displayed any anxiety issues before these shots that are now both reduced to sudden periods of shortness of breath with chest pain, headaches, unexplained periods without warning of severe shaking, & one daughter that often feels as if she will pass out & has actually completely passed out 3 times. At least to me it seems very unusual that you would have 2 girls that have never had these symptoms to develop the exact same symptoms in the same time period. I am amazed the doctors do not feel it is quite unusual. # 6763: Mar 29, 2009, Melanie Santino, Florida My sister has been experiencing horrible headaches for almost 2 years now.

My own daughter suffered none; but to have one family member impacted is too many # 6756: Mar 29, 2009, Steven Cook, New York Our daughter has been very ill after the gardasil vaccine she received two doses. She has had many side effects and spent days in ICU last summer. She is still ill with no clear answers why. This vaccine needs to investigated NOW before anyone else goes through what our family has had to. # 6754: Mar 29, 2009, Camillo Di Cicco, Italy The EMEA (European Medicines Agency) reported that two young women, in Austria and Germany, were suddenly death after received a vaccination against papillomaviruses(?). Three cases of serious injuries of other girls (12, 19 and 22 years), occurred in the United States, few days after the vaccine. The FDA has received 28 reports of abortion after administration of anti-HPV vaccine Gardasil, in pregnant women. # 6733: Mar 28, 2009, Beth Nabors, Illinois My once healthy and happy cousin, Caitlin Cassidy was given the Gardasil vaccine as part of a very consistent and Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now preventive medical care history as recommended by her family physician. Never did the doctor nor the numerous TV commercials report that she could be severely and profoundly negatively affected. A once active softball player, an A student, and an overall healthy young woman is now walking as an 80 year old woman. She has severe joint pain and horrific stomach pain. Her toes turn blue due to circulatory issues when going through one of her now numerous "episodes". No one has answers. She has been put on so many steriods that her face has swollen. She has been through every test known to man to try to determine how damaged she is due to this vaccine and how the doctors feel they should proceed with treatment. She told me the other day ... as she made plans to go off to the chosen college (after being accepted by many) that she may need to resign herself to the fact that she is now disabled. I feel the CDC has been negligent and that the vaccine should be pulled. The commercials should be banned. I am so angry over what my cousin is experiencing I can not even begin to write about it here. I am so sadened that Caitlin has to go through this experience. My 11 year old daughter will never receive this vaccine and for that knowledge I am grateful. I am experiencing so much guilt and pain that my cousin had to be the one who taught me to NEVER take a doctor's opinion as gold. ALWAYS question and get second,third and fourth opinions! Doctors are not GOD although they act like it! And when they make a mistake or do not have an answer, they simply say...medicine is not an exact science. Someone owes my cousin...someone needs to be responsible to bring her back to how she was before Gardasil...someone needs to pay for this! # 6730: Mar 28, 2009, Stephanie Oleniczak, Michigan My sister (13 years old) and I (16 yrs.) got the Gardasil vaccine and I was having severe back pain to to the point of muscle spasms and not being able to walk very well and my sister got a bad stomach ache and she said she felt shaky. # 6729: Mar 28, 2009, Anonymous, Arizona My friend had the shot had we knew the reactions she wouldn't have had the shot. She now suffers from siezures which she was a healthly young girl.

She has severe joint and abdominal pain and swelling. # 6714: Mar 27, 2009, Anka Julia Meyer, New Jersey I am trying to become a resident (not even Citizen) of the USA. I have applied for residence with my 12year old daughter in Febr 2008. Since July 2008 immigration has requested Guardasil in order to live in the USA for every female 12 to 26 years old. I live here because I married the love of my life but I do not put my daughter`s health in danger for that. I lived in Canada for 16 years very well - I am German Citizen and Germany has not such requirements. I feel like my daughter is used as gunieapig for pharmaceutical research. This drug is causing more harm than good and should not be on the market # 6703: Mar 27, 2009, Deborah Engel, Kansas My daughter has had 2 of the 3 Gardasil shots already. I wish I had known about the serious injuries and deaths beforehand. She will NOT be getting the third shot. My heart goes out to the families that have been devestated/impacted by this vaccine. I hope it is taken off the market.asap. I would rather my daughter face the possible risk of hpv, which I myself have, than to possibly go through what these young girls and women have or are going through now. God bless you all. # 6701: Mar 27, 2009, Daisy Joseph, California My grandaughter's mom is having severe reaction to Gardasil. She is experiencing dizzy spells, general malise and weakness, episodes of lack of oxygen, asthma like symptoms. She can't walk arount the block without getting very weak.

She can't go to school to graduate. She has seizures, memory loss, weakness, pain, headaches, etc. There must be a stop to gardasil. There must be a cure or help for these young women who have reactions. No one seems to be able to help. Doctors don't want to believe it's from Gardasil. # 6680: Mar 26, 2009, Mary Persky, Texas I have a granddaughter and nieces that I'm concerned about the long term effects of such a vaccine - the prevention is very simple - teaching them personal responsibility and consequences of sexual activity # 6677: Mar 26, 2009, James Dewilde, Nebraska One of my best friends was given the Gardasil vaccine. She had a very bad reaction and had to move to CA to receive treatment. Please don't let others go through what she is going through now!! James Dewilde # 6668: Mar 26, 2009, Bethany Weaver, Nebraska I have had a dear friend of mine lose her health to this shot and she has seen and been in contact with at least 30 girls who are suffering from the same thing or who have died. Please stop this madness!! Thank God my mother did not let me have the shot!!!! # 6664: Mar 25, 2009, Amber Lear, Georgia I had two of the three shots without reaction. BUT one of my closest family friends faught in ICU for her life!!!! and had to stop going to school because of a reaction. IT WAS HER SENIOR YEAR!!! I'm disgusted! # 6649: Mar 25, 2009, Susan Shaw, Ohio My healthy 14 yr. old precious daughter received her 1st shot of Gardasil in April 2007 and is still ill. We have a pile of medical bills and still no answers or help from the various specialists and Drs. we have been too. This is not right. # 6628: Mar 24, 2009, Christine Mondello, Pennsylvania While I do not have a family member affected by Gardasil, I am watching the beautiful (I mean inside and out) once active 14 year old daughter of a very good friend live in excruciating pain and suffer from so many of the side effects associated with the vaccine it would be hard to suspend disbelief and say there is no correlation. Her symptoms began after the second shot and get worse. She is on extreme pain management regimen. An unfortunate and unlisted sideeffect is that her pain is not truly being taken seriously by the community in which she daily functions. After eight months of wondering why this healthy girl was suddenly struck down, a friend of hers began presenting similar symptoms after her 3rd shot. Gardasil emerged as the common denominator. You can bet we are all watching the story now, whether we have daughters or not. They are all our children. 6621: Mar 24, 2009, Lisa Hiott, South Carolina my 5yr. old grand-daughter has had 2 shots and we feel like she has been showing some of these side effects like fatigue,dizziness,aches,etc...Blood test have been done and are coming up normal. She has missed several days of K5 because of being ill... She has been taking the shot because she suffers from HPV in her throat,vocal cords and wind pipe area since she was 2yrs. old that causes her to have surgery every month to remove it so she can breath and talk... The doctors believed that the vaccine would help slow it down or keep it from coming back... BUT if that verses her 'LIFE', then to h__l with the vaccine!But what about the two that she has already had??? I am worried sick! # 6614: Mar 24, 2009, Merrie East, Kansas I had them give the round of shots to my daughter who experienced fainting/dissiness. We went to a neurologist and had several tests done. Nothing we can do about it! # 6609: Mar 24, 2009, Shauna Corona, Arizona My 15 year old cousin had her second dose of Gardasil and now has epilecy. # 6607: Mar 24, 2009, Courtney Reynolds, Ohio I have taken the Gardasil vaccine, but I did not have a reaction. My co-worker, Crystal, had the vaccine, though, and she has lupus and she ended up having a rash because of it, and she is still having trouble with it. # 6599: Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now Mar 24, 2009, Holly Womack, New Mexico I have a co-worker whose 19-year old daughter became very ill after receiving the Gardasil vaccine. She has been fighting to recover for the last year. She has suffered from seizures, fatigue, muscle aches and pains, joint pain, migraines, severe stomach aches, vision problems, bruising, tremors, kidney problems, bleeding gums, and more. She was perfectly healthy, athletic and hyper prior to the shots. # 6577: Mar 23, 2009, Teresa Allen, South Carolina My 15 year old daughter received her first shot of Gardasil on January 9th, 2009. Shortly after receiving the first shot, she experienced unusual weakness and feelings of passing out. The second shot was given on March 9th, 2009 (1 day after her 16th birthday). She is now experiencing weakness, pain in both legs/hips, pain and numbness in her left arm. An overall feeling of 'no energy'. She has attacks where her body jerks uncontrollably and her heart races. I feel it is a direct reaction to the Gardasil. After doing research on this, I have found that thousands of other teenage girls are having the same symptoms and some are even paralyzed or dying. Something needs to be done! My daughter spent an entire day in the Emergency Room, with blood work and CT scans performed only to hear 'we cant find anything wrong with your daughter'. Everyone seems to be getting the same reports..nothing found..nothing wrong. But out of all of these girls, the one thing that ties them all together is Gardasil. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that one out! Please do something before thousands more are paralyzed or die from being 'protected' from HPV. # 6575: Mar 23, 2009, Kristina Lewis, North Carolina I have personally worked with patients suffering from adverse effects of this vaccine, and am very concerned with the "fast-track" approval process that does not acknowledge the serious adverse effects that are noted. Thank you for your attention to this matter. # 6574: Mar 23, 2009, Charles Austell, Texas I have a friend who's daughter had taken Gardasil. She is now very sick we need to do something about this. What are all the side affects? What is actually is this medicine. # 6555: Mar 23, 2009, Darci Goddard, Utah My daughter has had numerous seizures with the first one occurring 7 days following her 3rd Gardasil immunization. She was driving at the time and thankfully was not seriously injured nor was anyone else when her car careened across a 4-way intersection while she was unconscious. She is now on anti-seizure medication with debilitating side effects. Please stop this now so no more young women will continue to suffer needlessly due to the greed of the unethical drug maker - Merck, who knows that what they're marketing is unsafe. Stop the fast tracking of these drugs - young lives are at stake. # 6554: Mar 23, 2009, Pamela Heater, New Mexico My friend's daughter has experienced a series of seizures and could have died from the vaccine. # 6550: Mar 23, 2009, Ashlea Oliver, Texas My cousin, who prior to the shot, was an amazing athlete. She was hyper, happy, and the most amazing soccer player I've seen. But once she got the shot, she's had so many problems, from seizures, to kidney problems, aching joints, migraines, and more... Luckily she stopped right before the third shot... if she hadn't, we might have lost her completely # 6547: Mar 22, 2009, Anonymous, Arizona Yes, my daughter has had 12 seizures since she has received the vaccine and has been on 4 different medicine. She continues to have seizures. The drug needs to be taken off the market. # 6526: Mar 22, 2009, Susan Eskue, Kentucky A friends daughter is suffering due to this shot. Instead of enjoying her teenage/high school years she is seriously ill and spends her days taking meds and visiting doctors. We need stricter guidelines on new meds & their release to the market. We also need to stop forcing parents in to immunizing their daughters. Give them the information and let them make their own decision. Stop putting pressure on them. How would you like it if it were your daughter lying there slowly dying right before your eyes all because she was vaccinated for something she probably would have never been exposed to anyway. Stop scaring the public & make sound decision not rushed decisions # 6522: Mar 22, 2009, Hanna Helbert, Arizona Im 16..me and my best friend both have epilepsy. I was diagnosed right after my 13th birthday. there was a point in time when i didnt take my medicine for a few months, and then i got the gardasil shot, and i had a seizure just a week later. I know most would say it was because i hadnt taken my medicine...but it had been a few MONTHS, not WEEKS, NOT DAYS...MONTHS!! ......but more convincingly...my best friend had her first seizure june of 07 and second in dec of 07. in the very beginning of january 08, she had her first seizure. she has not had ANY more of those HORRIBLE shots...she has had 12 SEIZURES IN ONE YEAR! she was incredibly healthy and happy. but now the side effects from her medicine cause depression at one point. she has been on so many different medications because they just dont Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now!

I had a very regular menstrual cycle until the 3rd shot and rarely ever suffered from muscle fatigue, let alone fatigue that has lasted since I received the 3rd shot on 03/02/2009. # 6492: Mar 21, 2009, Charles D.

She was rushed to the er and was given a ct scan and spinal tap. This experience was very upsetting to say the least. Hopefully she will not have another seisure. I thought I was doing something good for my daughter. I feel betrayed by the medical community. This is crazy! # 6475: Mar 21, 2009, Ron Ruben, Minnesota My daughter referred to in Signatue #5028 has been affected by this horrific vaccination. It only took one shot, we were very fortunate to make the link of her illness to Gardasil before the second shot or I believe it would have killed her. President Obama, I see Gardasil as a deterrent to two of your passionate goals. 1. The costs of Medical care. Gardasil sickness in our families cause numerous hopsitalizations, tests and doctor vists. The costs caused by this vaccine are astronomical! Most doctors don't want to, or won't admit that the vaccine is causing problems (the clinics and hospitals are making mega $$$, Gardasil is a new market for them). Some doctors are now recognizing the risks, but very few undestand and are willing to make a stand for what is right! I think many families and doctors haven't made the link to the vacine and the problem is underestimated. 2. Education, thousands of bright young girls are forced to drop out of Middle and High schools, Postponing or dropping College plans. Parents are leaving the workplace to become fulltime caregivers to kids that are no longer able to be left alone (We are losing two generations of workers). We need these girls to be healthy, to get the education you speak about and to reach your goals to increase Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now!

It's been ten months and she is still ill. She can't go to school and this was to be here senior year. Before the shot she was running up to ten miles a day and competing in track and field at the state level. She now is too weak to walk to the bathroom alone at times. She's constantly sick, she's dizzy, has headaches, stomach pains, insomnia, no appetite, fatigued, weak, has shortness of breath, immune issues, etc etc. My daughter was a happy healthy girl being recruited by colleges because of her talent.She was to graduate this year.She should be looking for a prom dress and deciding which college to attend, instead she worries if she took all her meds and whether or not she needs help walking across the room. This vaccine must be stopped! It's killing and permantly damaging our nation's daughters! # 6461: Mar 20, 2009, Lisa Nelson, Colorado Not a family member, but my son's girlfriend has been experiencing seizures, headaches, backaches, fatigue, and memory problems since receiving her second dose in August of 2008. # 6440: Mar 20, 2009, Anonymous, Colorado My daughter received her 3rd vaccine in January.

She was attending graduate school & studying abroad and has lost three jobs, her ability to live independently, all scholarships etc. She worked on the Obama campaign from her bed at home.

Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now 6 weeks without leaving marks. The nurse just said it was to prevent cervic cancer, nothing to do with HPV. She also told me since I was turning 27 in one month from my doctor's visit- I needed to get the injection then so insurance would pay for it. The letter or packet that was given about the shot does not list all side effects. Only that it may cause rash or fever, nothing like long lasting skin rash, asthma, or death. People are not getting all the information from the nurse/doctors before getting the shots. # 6363: Mar 17, 2009, Shelley Taylor, Tennessee My daughter received her third round of the shot in 2007; she was once very healthy and active. After receiving the third round of the shot my daughter experienced extreme fatigue,fever, and asthma. She also has indentions in her skin that is spreading throughout her body. We have seen several specialist and doctors in Memphis and our next visit will be the Vanderbilt Hospital. She has been viewed by over 15 specialist and doctors and they have never seen such a case of this type of symptom. The day my daughter received the shot she also had a physical for school in order to play volleyball; the doctor gave her a clean bill of health. SHE DID NOT HAVE ASTHMA OR SKIN TISSUE INDENTIONS AT THE TIME. Several visits to the doctor, and ER due to indentions and abdominal pain, throwing up, and indentions. I can't believe our government is not helping our children and taking this seriously!!! We have been trying for a year to get answers and referred to this doctor and that doctor; in the meantime my daughter is being permanently scarred with indentions and from biopsies. She has over seventy indentions and spreading. If you have any questions or can help me please email me at [email protected]. Thank you so much. # 6356: Mar 17, 2009, Sarah Johnson, Arizona My niece had to have spinal surgery shortly after taking this drug. Her foot went lymph and the doctors had no idea of what caused it.

She was perfectly healthy prior to the shot. # 6335: Mar 17, 2009, Tonya Pierce, Arizona My daughter has been vaccinated and although she hasn't experienced any problems, I am concerned about any lasting effects since this vaccine was not tested very long.

She wears braces on both legs and uses a walker to walk with. She has been in hosp twice in 6 weeks and goes back into hosp this week for a few days. There is only one explanation to her illnessGARDASIL VACCINES! Where do we go from here-we don't know. The doctors can't tell me if she's going to get better and they won't say if she'll get worse.

Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now the serious and life threatening side effects and halt the use of GARDASIL until further reasearch and proper investigation can be done. They should inform patients and families prior to administration about any and all side effects that may occur and have black box warnings for any patients that have or had multiple allergies, whether it be environment or other, ezcema, asthma, pollens/weeds, cats/dogs, anyone using allergy meds, present or past, for rhinitis/hay fever etc....Anyone with questionable low immune or parent feels the child is somewhat immunecompromised should be carefully assessed or considered prior to getting this HORRIBLE VACCINE! I invite you, anyone, the news crews, Merck CEO, any medical staff, FDA and CDC personnel into my home and see first hand what this highly publicized and touted vaccine has done to my only child and beautiful person who had so much potential before Merck's vaccine. We are totally devastated by this HORRIBLE VACCINE-please care about us! # 6279: Mar 15, 2009, Anonymous, Pennsylvania When I recieved my 3 doses of the vaccine, I was unable to use my left arm for about a week. I had no strength in it to do anything. Also, during the time of my injections, I was going to the doctors once or twice a month for UTI's. Within the past few months, I have experienced much fatigue. I take 3-4 hour long naps most days, just so I can function later in the day. Also, I am currently undergoing blood tests checking for anemia. I suffer from frequent daily headaches as well. I was not like this 2 years ago. # 6254: Mar 14, 2009, John Birmingham, California Our daughter has suddenly developed major depression, started cutting herself, and developed suicidal thoughts very soon after receiving two doses of Gardasil. To be honest, I don't think you'll do anything about it (other than posture with so many tough-sounding words and then accept campaign contributions from Merck corporation), but I thought I would go ahead and sign this petition anyway. # 6215: Mar 13, 2009, Michelle Santistevan, Arizona After getting the first shot, my heart was racing and I was always sick to my stomach. I talked to my ob/gyn about it and she refered me to my doctor. Well my doctor didn't see anything wrong. So at the next shot I thought nothing of it. I had been living with a racing heart for a few months. Well less than a month of the second shot I was rushed to the hospital. It was there I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Up until that point I had never had any trouble beside the flu once a year. This is unreal and unacceptable. # 6214: Mar 13, 2009, Jeffrey & celeste Nelson, Illinois yes our daughter shannon suffered 23 days in the hospital with gbs following her getting her 1st gardasil shot along with 2 other vaccines , we found only after her injury,that gardasil has not even been tested with these vaccines in conjunction with gardasil . shannon had to go through months of therapy to learn to walk & still has some numbness to deal with to this day # 6210: Mar 13, 2009, Linda Wires, Maryland My daughter, a perfectly healthy child whose never had more than a cold received the first shot in January 2009. She collapsed in school and was rushed to a nearby hospital. Since then she has suffered with nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting spells and muscle pain. She has missed more school since January than the last 10 years she's been in school. I also work with a girl whose healthy daughter is now suffering with seizures. I am totally convinced this is the results of the gardasil shots. I am very lucky to work for a company that understands my problem, I've missed alot of time from work due to my daughter's "condition". This drug NEEDS to be pulled and further studies done before more families go through the anguish of seeing their loved ones suffer. I have cancelled my daughter's future appointments for the other 2 doses. # 6205: Mar 13, 2009, Vicky Duckworth, Missouri Two young girls in our community are facing uncertain futures and it is believed to be as a result of the Gardisil shots.

We pray for those not as fortunate. # 6176: Mar 13, 2009, Anonymous, California We suspected that a friend's daughter almost die of lupus complications after the vaccine.

She is a victim of the Gardasil Vaccine. She is one of the lucky ones - she is still alive. Who knows what her future holds. It is obscene that our government has provided this vaccine to young girls through our health clinics. Please warn everyone you know about this vaccine. Our children are not 'test cases'! # 6102: Mar 12, 2009, Melissa Ponert, Pennsylvania My friend's daughter has been having seizures w/ memory loss ever since the Gardasil vaccine. After reading only a few stories on a few websites, I am convinced.

Besides immediate injection reaction such as unbearable burning at the site, she has exibited chronic muscle pains and constant body aches combined with extreme fatigue for months to come. This resulted in many diagnostic tests: mono, lime, juvenile arthritis, fybromyalgia, which all came back negative...It has been over a year and symptoms are subsiding...I am more than convinced that her ordeal was caused by the vaccine, unfortunately no doctor ever wanted to hear my opinion. # 6002: Mar 10, 2009, Jamie Beth Maragas, Ohio My friend is currently undergoing a barrage of scary and invasive tests for symptoms related to teh Gardasil Vaccine. # 5992: Mar 10, 2009, MARY WELZENBACH, Kansas MY NEIGHBORS DAUGHTER HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS VACCINE AND IS HAVING REOCCURING DIFFICULTIES.

She has had severe medical complications and will never be the same again! This should have had more research and testing done before it was ever released for public use. # 5948: Mar 10, 2009, Gaynl Farmer, Ohio My daughter received the first vaccination shot, however, due to a shortage of meds available on her insurance plan at her pediatrian's office, we didn't finish the series. Thank god. The idea of such a preventative for young pre-sexual girls is a very good idea, but clearly poorly executed. We need an overall of the FDA and their relationships with the drug companies to prevent this kind of thing from happening. # 5941: Mar 9, 2009, Sharon Frontz, South Carolina Yes, my daughter complained of nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness, arm pain after the vaccine. It progressed to muscle aches & pains, joint pain, numbness in hands & feet. She has too many tests to list at this time. She only received one vaccine. She has constant abdominal pain, weight loss & loss of hair.

My best friend is currently being diagnosed with seizures and some doctors are looking at tracing it back to the Gardasil vaccine. Please help. We are young girls and deserve to live a normal life, and this, isnt normal! # 5928: Mar 9, 2009, Gina Ainza, California To Whom It May Concern, My daughter is one of those affected by the Gardasil vaccine. She was an incredible healthy child prior to her vaccine. Since 4/6/2008 she has been home schooled due to her numerous symptoms. Daily vomiting, migraines, dizziness, trouble with concentration and insomnia. She is currently under the care of an immunologist, neurologist and gastroenterologist. The immunologist at UCLA states that her illness is due to an autoimmune response to the Gardasil vaccine. How many more innocent girls must get sick or die for Merck and the CDC to take action. Please help our young girls be safe from these dangerous vaccines Gina Ainza 626.487.1052 # 5919: Mar 9, 2009, Raymond Pulli, Pennsylvania My niece and my friends two daughters had horrible reactions. # 5909: Mar 9, 2009, Connie Andrusaitis, California My 20 y.o. daughter has been living a nightmare since 10 days after her first shot, starting with UTI type pain/symptoms and progressing to horrid persistant headaches, vertigo, tunnel/blurred vision, at times vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, panic attacks starting 2 months after her second shot. We did not make the connection with the Gardasil until 2 months after her third shot when the symptoms all resurfaced again! All lab work, MRI, CT scan has come back normal. This has definitely NOT been worth any protection the vaccine might provide. # 5901: Mar 9, 2009, Anonymous, New Jersey I recently got the second vaccine of gardasil. It has made my life miserable, I have been getting severe headaches, back pain, nausea, fever, and I've been feeling unusually tired and sleeping most of the day. I am not planning on getting the third vaccination. I have read about girls getting seizures and getting into comas, I do not want to be one of those girls. I would not recommend this shot to anyone. # 5828: Mar 7, 2009, Janice Jackson, Colorado Our grandaughter has been suffering for MONTHS with an array of symptoms---heavy metal poisoning in our opinion. Heart attack symptoms, various attacks of pain in different parts of the body, chronically sleepless nights affecting the entire family, legs collapsing, lack of concentration, massive weight loss---this 17 year old beauty has gone from an over active teenager to a chronically ill child. I am very angry that nothing has been done to stop the deaths, heart attacks, strokes, paralysis, It will take YEARS before anything concrete transpires---as with the Vioxx fiasco---and creating all the chronically ill children supports the Medical Community. # 5821: Mar 7, 2009, Pamela Craine, Missouri PLEASE!!! A niece of mine IS experiencing some horrific side effects after receiving this vaccine which of course is being totally dimissed by her physician. This vaccine is not being totally explained before your child is innoculated and no one wants to accept the responsibility for the damages that it does to the child. BEWARE OF THIS VACCINE!!!! # 5816: Mar 7, 2009, Anonymous, Pennsylvania My doctor is very strongly encouraging this vaccine to the point of my wondering if he has stock in this Merk company. I didn't go for the 2nd shot due to info I've found and after sharing my concern of my daughter being only 9, he said, "you will get the shots...and I'll tell you why." He then explained more of the same details as in our first visit. I have seeked the Lord's help and have thankfully found this website http://www.nvic.org/vaccines-anddiseases/HPV/gabrielle.aspx Thank you Jesus for sparing my dear, dear daughter. Please save others. # 5814: Mar 7, 2009, Christi Stacy, Ohio My daughter is experiencing chronic health problems since receiving the garadasil vaccine.

Do not allow other young women to suffer. # 5813: Mar 7, 2009, Sandra Craine, Maryland My niece took deathly ill shortly after having the Gardasil vaccination. Yes, I truely believe that her illness was caused by this vacination. I have three grand-daughters that live with me and after careful investigation of Gardasil, I have refused to have them vaccinated, because I don't want to be left with "ONE LESS" # 5808: Mar 7, 2009, Anonymous, Pennsylvania I have two daughters that have had a reaction to Gardasil. It has been over 8 months and they have not recovered from neurological symptoms, hair loss, chronic fatigue, myalgias and "dead legs" with exercise.

My 20 something daughter had no reaction that was adverse last year to the shots. She has had seizures since child hood not related to any medicines. Had she known of the problems other young women are having she would never have risked the shots. # 5796: Mar 6, 2009, Aaron Clay, Ohio My girlfriend has been affected by the Gardasil vaccine # 5795: Mar 6, 2009, Nicole Vargas, Ohio Yes, I have been affected by the Gardasil vaccine.

After hearing some of the reports from different people and knowing one of them personally, we decided not to let her get the 3rd vaccine. # 5788: Mar 6, 2009, Kellie Loveless, Missouri My 16 year old daughter has been ill for the past nine months after receiving Gardasil. She has migraine headaches, joint and muscle pain, stomach pain, brain fog, hair loss. She has had rashes and swelling for no apparent reason. She is unable to attend school. Life as she knew it has been taken from her. Please stop this vaccine before it hurts another girl! # 5786: Mar 6, 2009, Carleen Shanks, Texas My daughters life will never be the same after receiving just 2 of these injections. There are not words to express how this poison has affected every aspect of our lives. My daughter has become what Merck wanted... "ONE LESS". She is one less student driver, one less freshman at school with her friends, one less , one less, one less. # 5778: Mar 6, 2009, Angel Permaloff, Minnesota My younger sister reacted to the Gardasil vaccine given to her last summer. She is a competitive tennis player with incredible stamina/strength. The 5 months following the vaccine she suffered from deep fatigue, weight gain of 35 pounds, intense migraine headaches and anxiety attacks. I am grateful that she was in such good shape before the vaccine, or I believe she would have had a worse reaction. With alternative therapies and nutritional support she is just beginning to function well again. Thankfully, my father called me (they live in another state) to discuss the situation just prior to a scheduled 2nd dose - I was able to get them information regarding the dangers of Gardasil and a second dose was prevented. I truly believe that my sister would have been severely damaged if not dead right now if that second dose had been administrated. I don't know if she'll ever fully recover as it is. Please remove this dangerous vaccine from circulation! # 5754: Mar 6, 2009, Beth Hensley, Ohio I would like to start by saying I feel sorry for all of you that have been affected by the vaccine... I can not even imagine how frustrating this must be for all of you. I have a close friend who has been affected my Gardasil, you can view here story here labeled "Nicole's story". Although I have witnessed the first-hand effects of the her condition, but I can honestly witness how it has destroyed her life! We are all in our early twenties. At this age, "girls just want to have fun". Nicole is unable to do this. Her fear of another seizure keeps her from going out with us... and it even keeps her from doing day-to-day activites. This condition has also destroyed her emotionally. Whenever she talks about it, she starts to cry. On a positive note, she is lucky to still be alive. Numerous women were not as fortunate. I hope and pray that all of those affected were be given justice. Hopefully the drug will be taken off the shelves so that it quits destroying the lives of innocent, healthy, young women. # 5751: Mar 6, 2009, Jason Romeiser, Missouri I have a great family friend who is ailing with this. I want to help her in anyway possible. She is just a young girl who is very awesome and deserves to live her life to the fullest!! # 5739: Mar 6, 2009, Corinthia Rice, South Carolina My sister is constantly having seizures and breathing problems from this drug!!

A friend of mine has a 15 year old daughter who has had so many problems with her health all due to this vaccine. She has been in and out of several hospitals for at least the past five months along with lots of therapy. Why this vaccine has been approved to vaccinate girls, I have no idea but it was a very big and selfish mistake. These young girls' lives are at risk. The sideeffects mentioned for Gardisil are little things like fatigue, headaches, vommiting, etc. Little do they tell you that your symptoms can go to the extent of my friend's daughter. Her symptoms lead from one to another,becoming more serious each time. She is now having to have therapy so she can learn to walk alone again. That is just naming one of many other more serious symptoms that she has had. PLEASE take this vaccine off of the shelf. These girls have a life to live....please don't take that away from them. # 5729: Mar 6, 2009, Drinda Buben, Connecticut My 14 year old had 2 shots, after the 2nd shot she began having headaches and still has them ~ She will not be subjected to any more ....no way !!!!! # 5719: Mar 5, 2009, Mary Jo Thompson, Oregon Our daughter was vaccinated on May 21, 2007 - 9 days after she complained of joint pain, after numerous doctors appointments she was diagnosed with Lupus on August 8, 2007.

Had I of known about these dangerous side affects before my Dr appointment I would have never gotten the first one. # 5347: Mar 2, 2009, Francisca Meza, California I just recently recieved my first dose of Gardasil competely unaware of the possibles side effects after reading this i will not be going back for my next dose, I am not about to take any risks. Thank you for imforming me about this. I am sorry it had to come to the deaths of young girls to get the message . # 5343: Mar 2, 2009, Jessica Shachnovitz, Pennsylvania My cousin Victoria Ventimiglia is 18 and she has been suffering siezures because of this so called vaccine. What bothers me is that no matter what my aunt tells each doctor, they wont even look into it. My aunt has been trying her best, as have the rest of us, to help her, but no one will listen. If you met Victoria you would know how funny, samrt, outgoing, gorgeous, and talented in fashion she is. I love her with all my heart and I just want them to fix this. No one should have to go through what she and the other 8,000 girls are going through. I chose not to get it done myself. If we have to march down to Washington DC and demand help, then we will do it. I worry about her everyday. I want her to go back to the way she was, happy and carefree. Please help us help her and the many others. make a difference. I love you Victoria, forever. # 5341: Mar 2, 2009, Gabrielle Swank, Kansas I am only 15 years old and because of a vaccince that I thought I was getting to help my body, I will never be able to return to a normal life style. I have cardiac problems, vascular problems, low blood pressure, seizures, head aches, kidney problems, and im diagnosed with inflamation of the central nervous system. It breaks my heart to think of anyone else getting hurt because off something they arent informed about. PLEASE help research this vaccine before anymore girls are harmed. # 5301: Mar 1, 2009, Shian McBee, Missouri My best friend Cassie has been terribly affected by the Gardasil vaccine. Just a few weeks ago, she actually started eating real food again. We must get this vaccine off the shelfs as soon as possible otherwise other girls will end up like my friend.

Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now Mar 1, 2009, Rebecca Blaine-Johnson, Kansas My Daughter only had one of the shots and I prayed to GOD everyday that she decided against the rest of the shots. The things we have had to deal with was reaction to fast heart rate. Aniexty. But we were told young girls go through that at her age. Until I found about Gabi I knew nothing about that Gardsil had these effects. I was never told. Not until she told me about a friend at South High GABI SWANK- WICHITA- KS- We are asking for your help.

PLEASE TAKE GARDISAL OFF THE MARKET AND PROTECT OUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN. # 5263: Feb 28, 2009, Cori Klug, Colorado I have personally been effected by this vaccine. It has taken my life from me. I now suffer from "Seizure Like Episodes", I have memory loss, confusion, blurred vision, body temperature issues, chest pain, trembleness, severe vertigo, constant headaches, chronic fatigue, weakness, hair loss, weight loss at 1st and now weight gain due to all the medications I have to take. I also suffer from depression and anxiety attacks that I never had before. There are times I cannot even walk without assistance due to being so dizzy and weak. I have been diagnosed with Disautonomia(caused from a vaccine) and Orthostatic Intolerance (blood pressure and heart rate issues) and don't know if my normal life will ever return. I've had to give up my dreams of going away to the college of my choice because I am to sick. My grades have fallen and I have overcome so much just to graduate this year. Please President Obama, don't put any more of us through this. It is not a safe drug!

Please investigate and seriously help the ones who have had a reaction so that it can be prevented for others. # 5239: Feb 28, 2009, Carol Garfield, Pennsylvania Doctors must stop giving Gardasil at once! I have seen what it can do to a young girl's life. These girls are going from one doctor to another with the hope that one doctor will finally tell them what is wrong and more importantly, have a cure. Test after test, doctor after doctor, the costs involved for office visits that insurance does not cover - where is the end? The doctors don't know, they have no clue how to cure these girls. Something must be done. President Oboma, don't give Gardasil to your daughters. # 5220: Feb 28, 2009, KEITH VENTIMIGLIA, New Jersey MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN SUFFERING FOR ALMOST A YEAR, THIS IS NOT FAIR, NO GIRL SHOULD HAVE TO ENDURE WHAT MY DAUGHTER HAS GONE THROUGH WITH NO HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.. # 5196: Feb 27, 2009, Anonymous, California My daughter was given the shot in 2008 age 11, as we left she became dizzy and felt like she was going to faint. She turned very pale. I then took her outside and had her lay down while I got the car. I got her fluids and food right away and she felt better, but that is the first time I've seen one of my kids have anything like that happen after a vaccine. # 5188: Feb 27, 2009, Debra Heck, Maryland My friend's daughter died after taking this vaccine.

I thought she was dead! Emediatly i ran for help and she was in the Hospital for 3 days. 3 months later it happened again out of the blue but this time when she went in her heartrate was so low the doctors didnt know what to think about it. this shot should not be on the market!at least not yet. it almost killed my sister and still could! # 5160: Feb 27, 2009, Tamara Stewart, Oklahoma Our doctor INSISTED my twin girls get Gardasil and the meningococcal vaccine. Since getting the vaccine: one of my girls is severely allergic to milk and has 'pain' everywhere all the time - the other twin has had to go on seasonal allergy meds for extreme allergies and her excema has become unmanageable. I only wish I had known more before I was made to get the vacc...it makes me sad that I could have had 'one less' child because of this vacc - and my girls now have 'one more' problem in their lives each; thanks to the government. So sad. # 5124: Feb 26, 2009, Phyllis Zaepfel, Indiana I have a friend whose daughter was seriously affected by this vaccine. # 5112: Feb 26, 2009, Andria Brooks, Kentucky As soon as Gardasil was released my patients began to ask me if they or their daughters should get it. I always told them that I would never volunteer to be the first round of people to recieve any vaccine, especially now that drugs are being released so easily. I'm glad I never encouraged that shot.

No one had any idea the shot would do this to her. # 5064: Feb 26, 2009, RACHEL Bedford, Indiana Back in September I got my last shot from the series. Three weeks later I was emitted to the hospital. My heart stopped, I was gone, they had to bring me back with the crash cart.

Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now Feb 24, 2009, HOLLY HUFFMAN, Indiana My 19 y/o cousin had the shots last year. 3 weeks after her last shot she was hospitalized for cardiac arrhythmia, a respiratory rate of 3, and seizures. She was put thru the ringer of exams while a week at our local hospital. When she suffered a seizure that literally lasted almost 50 minutes - I was there - she was sent to Mayo Clinic for another week. This girl suffered seizure after seizure, couldn't stand upright without her heart rate jumping to 180 and then back down 60 - they removed her from all meds only to be told by the top docs that her condition was caused by all of the meds they put her on at the local hospital. However, since coming home she has still suffered from multiple seizures and has been found unconscious in her room with no explanation. She was a normal, happy, healthy, excited about life teenager until this vaccine - now she is unable to drive long distances, can't drive at night, has had to drop out of school, etc. I am horrified that nothing has been done yet to bring the attention of these common and multiple problems happening to young girls and young women after receiving the vaccine. Since when did we become guinea pigs - how many statistics need to happen before this real problem is addressed?? Gardasil is a danger and a fraud every girl I know, every mother, every friend - I tell them my cousin's story. This isn't right and something needs to be done! # 4835: Feb 24, 2009, Shelby Shrake, Illinois my sister has been severely affected by the gardasil vaccine and she has been having seizures for over 19 months now. She has been on many meds and none will work. Her doctor suspects that Gardasil is to blame. She has had several EEG's, MRI'S and other tests, and each shows that nothing is wrong. She began having seizures 5 days after the receiving the vaccine, and she was perfectly healthy before that. I hope that Gardasil is taken off the market. Merck is just a scam, trying to make some money and they don't care if anyone is hurt by it. They hate groups like this that are exposing them for what they truly are. # 4823: Feb 24, 2009, Anonymous, Iowa My daughters periods got heavier, longer and more painful # 4821: Feb 24, 2009, Elizabeth Dawson, California A dear friends daughter began having fainting spells and severe seisures one month after having her first HPV Vaccine shot. Prior to this, she never fainted and never seized. Doctors have been unable to find anything wrong with her, but will not directly say that it is a result of this horrible vaccine. They try to blame it on stress, but this is not due to stress. This child first fainted while on vacation. That is not stress. Please demand that more research be done to ensure that no other girls lives are altered by this. The public needs to be made aware of the potential side effects, so that parents can make educated decisions regarding their daughter's health. # 4787: Feb 24, 2009, Anonymous, Kansas My sister has been really bad sick since getting these shots.

Please, stop giving this to girls because I never want any other girl to go through what I have been through. Also, other girls have gotten even worse symptoms from this vaccine than I have such as paralysis and even death. Please stop this before it can hurt another young woman. We have our whole lives in front of us and Merck has no right to take that away. # 4751: Feb 24, 2009, Ryan Mathis, North Carolina Please take Gardasil off the market. I have watched it make my little sister sick and she can no longer attend school. She is in a lot of pain.

Thank goodness she did not have long term or fatal effects----my heart be still! However, the shots were quite painful and twice she felt faint. I'm saddened and sickened by the "fast tracking" of this vaccination (or any vaccination or drug). Our faith is in our medical professionals and those they turn to for their updated research and guidance to BEST SERVE their patients. PLEASE make sure this doesn't happen again!

I absolutely will not get the third. I was suspicious of the vaccine, but was convinced by my doctor to get it. I should have listened to my gut. Within two weeks of receiving the first shot, I experienced flu-like symptoms, fever, and such severe vaginal discomfort that I went to the emergency room. I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. It cleared up, but my health felt off - worse digestion, I started getting heartburn, feeling fatigue, started seeing floaters in my vision and getting terrible headaches, and my menstrual cycle started becoming more irregular. I had always been like clockwork. I started losing weight, which was unusual, as I had always been overweight and had a hard time losing weight. I began feeling more and more irritable, but made no connections to the Guardasil shot. In March, immediately after receiving the second vaccine, my arm hurt terribly, I felt lightheaded, woozy, and had hives appear. Within 1 week, I started experiencing vaginal irritation again, fever, and had flu like symptoms. Over the course of the next month, I started to feel such severe fatigue, stomach aches, and uncontrollable diarrhea, that I went to my doctor. She told me I probably just had acid reflux. Two days later, I experience debilitating stomach pain, which lasted for nearly 1 month. I had an endoscopy, a CT scan, allergy tests, and blood work for thyroid disorders and other imbalances, all of which have come back reasonably normal and regular for my body and system. I did have some esophageal damage from acid reflux, and was put on Prevacid. Receiving no answers from the Western Medical community, I cut out gluten, corn, soy, dairy, eggs, caffeine, alcohol, yeasts, and sugar from my diet and started working with an acupuncturist and naturopath. Stool sampling showed signs of Candida Yeast overgrowth in my intestines and parasites, which I am combating naturally with help from my naturopath. I a got off the Prevacid successfully with her help, and am starting to feel stronger. However, since January, I have lost 50 lbs, have experienced hair loss, fatigue, eye itchiness, emotional upset, headaches, joint pain, tingling/numbness in hands and feet, lower body temperature, disruption in my sleep, decreased strength, muscle loss, continued gastrointestinal pain, alternating diarrhea/constipation, persistent Bacterial Vaginosis, and have not had my period since I received the second shot in March. While I do feel I am becoming stronger, this road is long and the journey is slow. My health is not what it used to be, my diet is restrictive, and I am taking multiple herbal and natural Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now supplements, vitamins, and probiotics. The appearance of overall, chronic symptoms with the timing of the Guardasil shots makes me believe that I, like so many other women, am a victim of Guardasil. Don't get this vaccine. ***Currently: Feb. 21, 2009: Since then, after the diligent care of a Naturopath, Accupuncturist, Chiropractor and Therapist, she is on a very restricted diet because food allergies bloomed, and even gluten free sourdough starter contains too much bacteria causing continued adverse reactions. She has not had a menstral period since March 2008, but her hair seems to be growing again. The continued dismissal of symptoms by Doctors is outrageous because they continue to get their information from Merck and ignore the opinions of patients and their parents. Please investigate this further. Take it off the market until further testing is done. Not EVERY young women should be vaccinated. And it should definately NOT be mandated. Please contact me if you'd like to continue this conversation # 4507: Feb 22, 2009, Anonymous, Kansas I have a close friend whose daughter has been very sick since receiving the Gardasil Vaccine. Her white cell counts have been very low but doctors aren't able to find the source of the problem. Her mother continues to ask could it be the Gardasil Vaccine but doctors are not able to give her an answer. # 4506: Feb 22, 2009, Stephanie Emmerson, Virginia I have a niece who, after two doses of the Gardasil vaccine, started having blackout type episodes, fatigue, prolonged menstrual cycles, headaches, and more. She has had numerous medical tests including CAT scans and MRI's and nothing has been determined. Unfortunately, viruses and aluminum toxicity do not show up on these tests. There should be more testing with all vaccines or medications consumed by the public. It is unbelievable that profit takes precedent over the health of our citizens. How many more deaths and injuries have to occur before we do anything about this? We, as a nation, are lagging behind our competitors. It doesn't do us any good to have workers who are incapacitated or a future drain on our health care system and national resources. We need more ethics and more independent and unpurchased oversight of our medical affairs. The CDC, EPA, and their employees need to do more to ensure we are protected. # 4473: Feb 21, 2009, Anonymous, Oregon I saw my best friend suffer some of the hardest times of her life after receiving this vaccination. Being with her 24/7 for straight two months, I personally saw her lose normal function. I don't want anyone else to go through the pain she went through as well as her family. It's been six months since her death, and there isn't a day I don't miss her. # 4449: Feb 21, 2009, Tal Kinnersly, Japan My cousin (female, 22) went to see her physician when she had a cold and was pushed to take Gardasil "while it is not too late"! # 4428: Feb 21, 2009, Nancy Finley, Kansas My 19 year daughter was a healthy young lady. She had her shots from June 2007 through March 2008. She know lives everyday with naseua, dizziness, vomiting and fatigue. She has lost over 40lbs and is losing her hair. She recently had a seizure. No doctor can find a problem. This is too coincidental to not be side effects of these shots. # 4380: Feb 21, 2009, Helen Bruce, Virginia I have been a nurse for over 30+ yrs and have seen first hand how the immune systems of our children has declined. We the baby boomers were not subjected to this ridiculous amount of toxins therefore we are a strong group. It's our grandchildren who are suffering the ill effects from this lucative business that the drug companies call Good health! I have been refusing vaccines ever since they started trying to promote them. Most likely along with my eating habits its the main reason I am as healthy as I am today. God never indended us to take in all the poisons that the drug companies put in their vaccines. Take a real close look at our Mennonite society who have always refused them and then look allittle bit closer and find out what's cookin in their kitchens! God gave us a wonderful healing machine of a body and in order to keep it healthy, we must start cooking real foods and start educating the public that Good health is very simple if we stop listening to all the medical people who get their information from none other than the AMA which by the way was funded by the the no other than...... Tobacco companies! Here in America Sickness is a very lucrative business. We as parents and grandparents need to plead with our child bearing children and friends to really look into whether or not it's worth all the risks that these vaccines along with a poor diet are inflicting on our future generation. If you think I am exaggerating, then spend an afternoon in the school systems and see for yourself! Helen Bruce # 4341: Feb 21, 2009, Anonymous, California My nineteen year old daughter has experienced seizure episodes, paralysis, migraine, spinal pain, ear sensitivity, menstrual irregularity since inoculation. She has been to the ER eight times, and been hospitalized twice with her tests results returning as normal. It has been suggested that she manage stress.

She started having neurological problems a few months later, was diagnosed with ALS and passed away in August of 2008. You better believe I am supportive of an investigation! Please someone help us get to the bottom of this. What if it was your daughter? # 4327: Feb 20, 2009, Melisa Lyons, California My 13 year old daudgter was very sick for three days after she was given the Gardasil Vaccine. # 4320: Feb 20, 2009, Ariene Laska, Massachusetts Have you/family member experienced a Gardasil or other vaccine reaction?I have two daughters. 13 and 15. My 15 since the shot has developed some sort of large cist on her skin wich are very purple and hurt her. I have told my Dr. this and it has been seriously over looked because according to them the shot is completely safe!NOT!!!! # 4313: Feb 20, 2009, Ryshekia Elliott, Nebraska I've been vaccinated about a month ago. Since then I've been going through a wide range of health problems. I went from being a perfectly healthy (no family history of illnesses) 20 year old girl to this person with sicknesses that the doctors can't explain. I've only hit the 1 month mark. I'm preying nothing else will become of this. # 4288: Feb 20, 2009, Lauren Sica, New Hampshire A close friend of mine was on the verge of kidney failure as a result of getting this vaccine! Please STOP this horrible cycle of greed that is affecting our nation's greatest asset: our children. # 4283: Feb 20, 2009, Anonymous, Pennsylvania Horrific pain at injection site with 1st shot. After reading all of the contoversy with the vaccination I definitley will not follow through with the rest of the series of shots. Someone has to do something to get this drug off of the market. People are terrified that have recieved the shot and now here I am scared for my own well being. Do something! # 4252: Feb 20, 2009, Kathy Sellers, Arizona Perfectly healthy 15 year old daughter had first Gardasil vaccine in July 2008 - no reactions. Had second Gardasil vaccine in September 2008 - no immediate reactions. In December started experiencing severe stomach cramping and diarrhea. Food would immediately pass through her system. Family doctor first prescribed an antibiotic. After 2 weeks and no change - family doctor scheduled blood & stool sample tests - all came back negative. Family doctor recommended a Pediatric GI Specialist - which prescribed a stronger antibiotic. After 2 weeks and no change, he recommended a colonoscopy - which we were not able to do because of insurance/cost issue. Slowly (over a couple of months) she started getting a little bit better. Then, in February she suffered from a 3-day "migraine headache". Family doctor prescribed migraine medication, which did not help and an MRI. In her lifetime, she has had possibly 2 "regular" headaches. Lately, she has been feeling better, but still has bouts of diarrhea and we are monitoring her periods to see if these have possibly been affected as well. Although it can't be proven, we believe that the Gardasil vaccine is the reason for her medical problems that she has been experiencing in the past few months. Again, this was a perfectly healthy, active 15-year old girl. After the problems with Gardasil I contacted our Family Doctor to see if she had to get her 3rd in the series of Gardasil, and they said absolutely not if I believe it had anything to do with her health issues. I thank God that this was brought to my attention before she received her 3rd vaccine of Gardasil. I can't even imagine what might have been the consequence if we had gone ahead with it. # 4238: Feb 20, 2009, Liane Kuhn, Missouri My 16 year old daughter received mutiple vaccinations including Gardasil in August 2007. Since November 2007, she has suffered from unexplained neurological symptoms and is now home-bound from school. One year and five months later, she is still undergoing continued medical testing to confirm a diagnosis. Lupus and MS are just two of the conditions the physicians are considering. Do not take a chance and allow your children to receive multiple vaccinations including Gardasil. Their life may depend on it. # 4208: Feb 20, 2009, Barbara Allman, Ohio A classmate of my son has now been struggling with complications from the Gardasil vaccine. She has suffered from severe weakness, seizures, and much more. Her immune system is so compromised she has not been able to attend school at all her 9th grade year. # 4175: Feb 20, 2009, Natalie Dancak, Pennsylvania my second cousin mckenzie bear 15 years old has been affected by this vaccine # 4126: Feb 20, 2009, Anonymous, Florida My best friend got the Gradasil shot and now has to see a doctor once a month to have genital warts removed. It's scary and I'm very glad that I haven't gotten the vaccine. I don't plan to ever. Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now # 4048: Feb 20, 2009, Wendy Aspres, New Jersey my daughters were both given the shots May 07 and the last one Nov 07. My daughter got a yeast infection and headaches after the first dose even had sinus surgery she was in so much pain. May 08 had bad headaches neck and back pain. 9/22/08 Optic neuritis and is still blind in her eye and from that day on sever head neck back pain numerous neurological symptoms and loss of use of lower left leg. She is home taught, on sick leave from work and her college plans are ruined at the moment sometimes she cant even get out of bed. 1/2/09 they started her on Multiple scelorosis shots weekly but no lesions are showing and the loss of the leg is not doing what a MS patient would have. Blood tests, spinal taps, MRI's all good. This is a mystery.... Meanwhile she has been in the house for 5 months already and her life is on pause besides all the pain she is in, she literally is brainless and cant concentrate and has bad memory loss. A perfectly healthy young girl is now on pause and in so much pain and blind in an eye. We need more research into this as this is not fair to these girls that have symptoms. At least Spain was smart after 2 cases to stop it. 4014: Feb 20, 2009, Paige Woodruff, Iowa After being forced by my parents to receive the vaccine last year, I had an adverse reaction. Take it from me, the migraines, stomach pains, numb legs, memory loss, and dizzy spells aren't worth it. This vaccine isn't just harmful in some rare occasions... It negatively reacts in every body it is present in, like it or not. The FDA and CDC are money hungry... When was the last time some powerful, money-driven company or organization actually did something that benefit anyone but themselves? If you think they're more worried about your health than their pocketbooks, you're crazy! A year later, I still have problems and am no where near recovered from the vaccine. Mothers, protect your daughters, sisters, friends... Tell everyone you can, "DON'T GET THE VACCINE!" # 4007: Feb 20, 2009, Jenny Pulford, Australia My 16yr old daughter was the only one not to have the Gardasil Vaccine at her entire school. At the time , some of her friends found it strange and may have interpreted that as uncaring of me, however now that there is evidence of adverse reactions, my daughter thanks me for having the foresight to refuse it and is proud that I question "so called" authority ~ always. # 3999: Feb 19, 2009, Anonymous, Wisconsin I started getting sick 5 weeks after my second installment of Gardasil. Have had lots of blood work and a CT scan done and have been to 5 different doctors. It is an absolute nightmare, especailly when an urgent care doctor told me it's probably depression. NO it is not. I have experienced severe headaches almost daily, Sore throat in the first 3 weeks, frequent dizzy spells, night sweats, overall feeling of illness, and it feels like it will never end. It's been 7 weeks now and it's really having an overall impact on my life. I HATE Gardasil and don't understand how this is still available for girls and young women. I also hear Merck is trying to get it possible for boys to now receive this vaccine. Please stop the distribution of this drug, it needs more intense research! # 3888: Feb 19, 2009, Laura Adams, Ohio My daughter saw the commercial on TV and was after me for weeks to get this shot. She is 11 years old and was due for a check up so at my son's check up I asked the our family Dr. about the shot. She reassured me that it would be beneficial for her health so I made her the appt. Her appt. was last Wed. Feb. 11, 2009. She also received the Meningitis shot at the same time. That shot was fine and she took it well. Then came time for the Gardasil shot, immediately after the shot was administered she told me she was dizzy and sick. She then began convulsing and she could not breath. I thought my daughter was dying in my arms. She did come out of it within a minute or so after I prayed for her. When she awoke the Dr. and all the nurses were in the room and telling me that fainting was a normal reaction. They would not listen to me that she was convulsing and in what I believe was a seizure because they did not see it with their own eyes. This vaccine is a danger to our daughter's health and well being and should never be given to anyone ever again. # 3872: Feb 19, 2009, Laura Russell, Texas What scares me, I was diagnosed with the strand of HPV that causes cancer. I was given the prescription to get the vaccination, but I am 37 years old and my insurance wouldn't pay for it, it's a good thing!!! # 3846: Feb 19, 2009, Stacie Tillison, Texas In 2008 I was given the first round of the Gardasil vaccine. I decided to not proceed with the other two shots after personally experiencing severe discomfort with the first shot. I strongly urge you to investigate the Gardasil vaccine, and their marketing campaign, which I believe not only misinforms the public, but misguides them as well. # 3815: Feb 19, 2009, Virginia Worrell, South Carolina My daughter had the three vaccines last year. She had been having pain in her legs and a recent referral to a rheumatologist revealed that she has fibromyalgia which has gotten worse since the shots. I pray that I haven't something wrong for her in trying to do something right. # 3801: Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now Feb 19, 2009, Darryl Schulte, Kentucky Yes, my wife's cousin who is 17 has been affected by this vaccine and it needs to be pulled from the market. MORE RESEARCH NEEDS TO BE DONE before potentially harming any other teenagers. # 3772: Feb 19, 2009, Andrea Jones, South Carolina My daughter received the vaccination of Gardasil before I heard about the potential dangers and side effects some children and young women had reported. It was supposed to protect her. It was supposedly safe. Shortly after the vaccination she began to experience some strange health issues. Currently, we are seeking answers and treatment for the butterfly-shaped rash on her face and acute renal failure. The diagnosis of Lupus has not yet been confirmed. It has been hard enough to accept the glaring fact that women's health issues are grossly neglected in this country. Now it seems that our young women are being targeted - intentionally. If nothing changes - if Merck and other such entities are allowed to destroy lives - my faith in our great nation will be lost. PLEASE ACT! # 3708: Feb 19, 2009, Kristian Scott, North Carolina The gardasil shot should be removed from society because it has many negative side effect. I know that when i recieved the shot I got nodules in all of my joints and some days I can't even move # 3683: Feb 19, 2009, KIM JOHNSON, North Carolina My daughter began having serious health problems after taking the last of her gardisil shots. She has experienced a form of vasculitis, with horrific joint and muscle pains that have been unexplainable by the medical community. She has also been diagnosed with Graves Disease due to a thyroid that is either severly hyperactive or severely hypo. All this has been going on since 2007. I have always suspected that the Gardisil shot was the culprit to all of this and have researched extensively on this subject. As I write this today, my daughter is once again in the doctor's office. I have relalyed my findings to her doctor's but they say there is not enough research out there on the matter to suggest that the shot was the beginning of the end. Thank you for your concern and help with this research. Mrs. Kim D. Johnson # 3664: Feb 19, 2009, Kathy Waldorf, Kansas Both of my daughters have refused the vaccine which was strongly suggested to them by their gynecologists. My youngest daughter's friend broke out with terrible warts on her hands after she had the vaccine. Please investigate this vaccine independently. We cannot have the industry police itself. Human life will always take a back seat to profit with "acceptable losses". No one wants their loved one to be part of that statistic # 3658: Feb 19, 2009, Carolyn Louderback, Pennsylvania My 19 year old daughter was tricked into taking the first dose of this vaccine on a routine trip to the gynecologist. It is important to stop this sort of coercive behavior on the part of health care providers until the serious questions regarding the safety of Gardisil, as well as its value or lack thereof in preventing cervical cancer, can be appropriately and impartially assessed # 3594: Feb 19, 2009, Anonymous, Kansas My sister's friend's daughter experienced side effects so they stopped taking the vaccine. I've had cells myself and they are easily taken care of, you don't need a vaccine for this! # 3566: Feb 19, 2009, Joan Hemsel, New Jersey My granddaughter received the 3 shots. a few months later she had terrific backaches. In Sept. she became overnite blind on one eye. The myelin was gone on the spine and the optic nerve. Had her to John Hopkins, Wills Institute, aand numerous terstings, spinal taps, etc. Docotrs are not sure what it is. Suggesting MS and now she has to take a shot once a week for MS. We dont know what to do and the doctors are proving that she is a normal girl as her blood work and spinal taps are coming out normal, but she limps and falls and has chronic headaches along with the loss of vision. The doctors are now looking into the vaccine, gardisal. Please do not let the Merck Company inject anymore of this questionable drug into our children. It has been removed from other countries including Spain. How many girls will have to be affected before we stop this drug. # 3549: Feb 19, 2009, Anonymous, Nevada Everytime I go to my doctor, they tell me Gardasil is nothing to worry about in attempt tp convince me to take it. When I brought up before that there have been cases such as this, they said they had no idea what I was talking about. They need to stop production! I rather die older with potential cancer than young over FDA's ignorance # 3490: Feb 19, 2009, Vicki Robbins, Florida 2 of the 3 mothers I have talked to that had their daughter get this vaccine reported neurological symptoms soon after getting the shot and lasting for about 2 days. One was dizziness and feeling faint and the other was numbness of hands and wrist feeling like she would drop anything she tried to hold with her hand. These are just in my small neighborhood of 92 homes...WAY TOO SCARY and close to home!!! ..I cannot believe the manufacturers are allowed to continue to deny these reactions are related to their vaccine. As an RN I can say that this is just one small example of Investigate Gardasil Vaccine Now! Petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/14/investigategardasil-vaccine-risks-now how our American "health" care (or sick care) system puts corporate profit over health most of the time. Thank you NVIC for looking for the truth!!! # 3454: Feb 19, 2009, Gary Gillian, Missouri My 14 year old granddaughter Cyrsten, is having severe side effects from the Gardasil Vaccine. # 3348: Feb 19, 2009, Anonymous, Arkansas I know a 14 year old girl who developed endometriosis following her HPV vaccine. She thanks you for allowing this drug on the market. # 3317: Feb 19, 2009, Anonymous, Michigan I'm concerned about this because my daughter, age 19, had just finished receiving the third dose of the Gardasil vaccine as recommended by her doctor. Are there potentially dangerous side effects? These were not elaborated on by her doctor. # 3300: Feb 19, 2009, Melinda Moreschi, Florida Someone I know had an allergic reaction to the first dose of the vaccine. She had a rash but did not connect it to the vaccine. After the second dose, she had the rash again and the doctor realized it was caused by the vaccine. He cautioned her not to get the third dose # 3282: Feb 19, 2009, Anonymous, Virginia My sister-in-law recently lost her daughter shortly after receiving the Gardasil vaccine - She was perfectly healthy prior to this injection and was fine a hour prior to dying suddenly and the autopsy can't find one reason for her sudden & unexplained death. If my daughter had not already received it, I would not allow her to. # 3261: Feb 19, 2009, Anonymous, Florida My 18 yr old daughter had the first shot and was sick in bed for 3 days with flu like symptoms. Needless to say she had the common sense not to risk her health with the second shot. # 3024: Feb 18, 2009, Anonymous, Canada My niece was scared into the vaccination. She was led to believe that she would almost certaily get cervical cancer without this vaccination, which is simply not true, and that this vaccination would prevent any type of cervical cancer and also protect her from all types of HPV viruses, which it does not. This vaccination is now mandatory for young women wishing to immigrate to the US. A guaranteed anual sale of 130thousand vaccines for the makers of Gardasil. Who got a warm handshake when that was decided... I do not live in the US, but what the US does spills over to other countries. Like it affected my niece in Canada. A friend's daughter in Germany was also scared into the vaccine, but after some research she decided to wait. Whenever a government begins to push its citizens into certain actions, the validity really needs to be examined carefully. And when it tries to limit choices, alarm bells should go off. I hope the change that was promised will take hold of the US, and soon, because the alternative is rather frightening.
