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.

I know. Can you believe that? How could they say such a thing. I couldn't believe these important people were sitting there saying this stuff as if we were all going to just believe them.

Ooo new evidence for HPV for other disease...

This alarming article :

http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20070512/fob1.asp
Quote:
"It's worth considering the possibility that some oral, oropharyngeal, and laryngeal cancers might be prevented by HPV vaccination," dentist Stina Syrjänen of the University of Turku in Finland says in the journal issue carrying the new study. Merck is currently marketing a vaccine against HPV under the name Gardasil.
suggests new criteria for Gardasil? Something to think about!

I'm very hesitant with any shot that's 'new' along with taking 'new' medications. It seems to be a trend that a few years after the 'new' wears off I see a ton of commercials from lawyers saying, "If you took xxx or yyy, please call us right away" and then say how many people died or ended up with permanent problems due to said shot or pill.

My GYN offered me the 'new' shot to help prevent cervical cancer since I'm high risk. I passed. I've been with the same partner for a long time, and have no plans to end up with a new partner and I trust him just fine. I'd rather just not have sex than have one of these shots.

Granted, I'm pretty hesitant to take anything my GYN's offer me since they have been fibbers to me in the past. During my pre-term labor stint, my GYN told me the constant IV I had of Magnesium Sulfate for 50 some odd days was safe for me and my unborn child. The only side effect being that I'd feel groggy. If I had Google back then, I'd have gone home and hired a nurse to keep me loaded on saline.

With all of these problems coming up with these 'new' things, I can't help but to feel very awful for people without access to communities like these who share this information or even the internet/google to research things before trying them.

This is so frightening to me and I'm not even a mom. I just can't imagine sending my daughter into so potentially serious a situation without a mountain of information.

Equally frightening is VA, and aussie, Lara's gov't basically sanctioning it with the flavor of a new law.

I know many young girls in that age bracket and I will beg their parents to read these links carefully, soon. Thank you all, this is remarkable.
