MOTHER: Basically she had collapsed. There was no sort of reaction from her at all whatsoever. She was unable to move her limbs or arms, not able to talk to us for quite a few hours.
Quote:
Dr David says the symptoms that have been described are common responses to any vaccination. She says what people claim is paralysis is actually a panic attack, although the vaccine does have some side effects.
say what???

p.s. the Dr David mentioned in this article above is - Dr David is Director of Public Affairs at CSL. Manufacturer of Gardasil.

SAMANTHA DONOVAN: Professor Ian Frazer was named Australian of the Year in 2006 for his research, which led to the development of Gardisal.

Professor Frazer was unavailable to speak with PM this afternoon.

But in a written statement to the program Professor Frazer says that young women sometimes faint when given injections or vaccinations. He says mass fainting attacks are well described in young women, with or without administration of injections, and usually represent auto-suggestion.

Professor Frazer says that fainting after Gardasil is therefore to be expected, is well described, and isn't due to the vaccine so much as to the vaccination, and can be avoided by having a person lie down when getting the injection.
