My 13 year old daughter was injured by Gardasil and completely disabled for the past year. Merck got it right when they used the slogan "One Less" for Gardasil. Because of Gardasil, my daughter was "One Less". She was "One Less Student", "One Less Active Child", "One Less in every aspect of her life". Take it from a mother who has spent the past year sitting by my child's bedside wondering if she would die in her sleep. INVESTIGATE BEFORE YOU VACCINATE. DO NOT trust your doctor to make this decision. If you want to understand Merck's role in the medical community, investigate some of their former wonderdrugs such as VIOXX and then marvel at how many people died from it before it was pulled off the market. The CDC AND FDA need to do their job and get this off the market before more children are harmed. The public is not aware of VAERS and the #'s are grossly understated. I have had to tell my child's doctors about VAERS and make them file reports or she would not be one of the current statistics in VAERS. Even then, her information has not been entered correctly so I know that VAERS is not what it should be. Please do not let this happen to your child. There is NO WAY that I will get my son this vaccine.

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.

It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure this one out.

Please educate yourself as much as you can before you allow a doctor to push this unproven and unsafe vaccine on your daughter! The guilt is overwhelming from a mothers' standpoint! I thought I was doing something to protect my daughter. Instead, I allowed the doctor to inject poison into my child and take away her life!

I am sorry for your loss. My daughter has been in horrible pain since her gardasil shots. It does not look like it's getting any better. She suffers from almost daily migraines, she has lost peripheral vision in her left eye. She faints all the time with leg paralysis(both legs). Everyday is horrible......She was vaccinated with the flu shot at the same time as Gardasil...She developed peripheral neuropathy in both feet. She now has sleep apnea....I wish I would have figured out that gardasil is what was causing her to be so sick...It was the third shot when all hell broke loose. Again I am sorry for your loss....Pray for us. We'll pray for you....

My 14 year old daughter had her first gardasil injection, then a week later broke her leg skiing. Clearly, this deadly vaccine must be stopped!

Martin, I hope your daughter does not get sick...The first shot is not the worse...However my daughter could not get out of bed for three weeks after her first shot.. I am glad your daughter was able to get out and go skiing. However our lives have been put on hold. If you notice...joint pain, headaches, vomiting, fatigue, loss of concentration...and a general feeling of malise in your daughter. Then it probably would not be wise to get the others..There is a 42 day period that these symptoms can present themselves...which is why we did not correlate our daughters injuries right away. My daughter has not had a period since her first shot. that was in Nov. of 2007. Most girls do okay. However the ones that don't are really suffering. I hope that your family won't be one less. Our lives have been turned upside down. Over a vaccine that may only prevent an STD. There is no proof that the vaccine itself does not cause cancer. Before you make anymore jokes if your daughter was vaccinated last week. If I were you I would pray to god that she will be okay....

Martin -- in addition to being an insensitive jackass, you are also very ignorant. There are 15,000 reported serious reactions to Gardisil logged with the CDC, and those are just the cases where the symptoms presented immediately and the association with Gardisil was clear and not in dispute. I know this first hand -- my daugher was one of them.

There could be tens of thousands more cases where Gardisil has caused debilitating reactions but the association is less clear -- generally because symptoms did not present immediately and/or the families of the patients have not made the connection.

This is a very serious health issue. Forty healthy young ladies have died. Another 3,000 are classified as having lost their health after getting vaccinated. Their stories of seizures, paralysis, vision problems, loss of menstrual cycle, constant fatigue, etc., are gut-wrenching.

The people who are posting here are trying to spare others the anguish they and their families are going through. For you to make fun of them is cruel and repulsive.

To other parents who read this: PLEASE research this vaccine thoroughly before you allow your children to be vaccinated.

From the CDC
Concerns have been raised about reports of deaths occurring in individuals after receiving Gardasil. As of June 30, 2008, 20 deaths had been reported to VAERS. There was not a common pattern to the deaths that would suggest they were caused by the vaccine. In cases where autopsy, death certificate and medical records were available, the cause of death was explained by factors other than the vaccine.

Google Merck fines and FDA warning letter to Merck. The FDA found many violations and did not bother to really do anything about it. The bottom line is that Merck is a terrorist organization that only cares about it's bottom line. A portion of all vaccine profits are collected for the CDC and FDA. They have so many polititions, doctors and government agencies in their corner. I think everyone that had anything to do with the fast-tracking of this injurous vaccine should be tried as murderers. This is a biological agent that has been unleashed on the most innocent..Our children. I checked out Mercks grants and I was surprise that the hospital that I have been taking my daughter receives blood money from Merck. Our politians also. They are culpable because they knew. They are protected by our government laws. I am sure Merck is laughing all the way to the bank. MY daughter has been ill for 2 years. Thanks to Merck, The FDA and the CDC. They are also at fault for allowing Merck to get away with this chemical of mass destruction.

Hi jane:

No, I don't work for merck. I work in public health, with all those evil people who want to vaccinate your children. Nor do I own any stock in pharma, though I do take insulin everyday. Does that make me biased?

Every single medicine has side effects. Even insulin. We know that. We also know that the risk of side effects of these meds are far, far lower than the risks of not having them.

I know the risks. I know the stats. I make my choices accordingly, as do you. But I find it frustrating when people misrepresent statistics, like "adverse reactions reported" to be proof positive of a connection. To simply dismiss a dissenting viewpoint as that of being a corporate shill does nothing to strengthen your argument.

Fair enough. I apologize for the snark.

And i'd love to take those reports at face value, but I just can't. The scientist in me wants definable data, and anecdotes aren't evidence. The reporting system for adverse reactions is. Sadly, the numbers are often quoted, but the definition of "adverse reaction" isn't. "Pain at injection site" is considered an adverse reaction, and makes up the majority of those reported, along with swelling, redness, itching and even fainting. I've seen people faint BEFORE the needle touches skin.

So, I take these reported stories with a grain of salt, because there's no way to question the accuracy, ask about underlying conditions or even recreational pharma use.

The published, peer-reviewed studies I've seen all say the same thing. Vaccines are not 100% safe, but are better than the alternative. As to the HPV issue, that's 4000 women a YEAR dying of cervical cancer, whereas the HPV shot, even if all young women in this generation got it, and the serious side effect rate (roughly 1 per million doses) was massively understated, might cause 40 to 100 cases of Guilliam Barre. Not per year, mind you, per generation.

So, yes, to me, a vaccine that can prevent thousands of cancer deaths a year is a fair trade-off.

@Martin shut up i am tired of hearing ignorant people like you talk about what you think is a fair trade off. When it is your sister or daughter that dies is when you can speak about fair trade. God will judge you for your lack of love for others. i know the scientist in you will burn in hell with rest of you. So speak on you bear witness against yourself before God remember this when you are in Judgment before your creator.God did not make the fool the fool did make himself be a fool Martin. Repent your judgment is near.

As a doc who treats the cervical cancers and hundreds of young women with condyloma, I can find no science behind the claims of death blamed on Gardasil. People want to find causes when sometimes the answer is "we don't know"
'Why did I have a miscarriage"
"Why did my baby die from SIDS"
"Why did I get diabetes" etc
It is so much easier to have a scapegoat to point a finger at than deal with the mystery of 'not knowing'

My friend's 12 year old daughter had the vaccine last year. She was previously a very healthy girl. She is dying in the hospital now; she can not feed herself, can not speak, and can not go to the bathroom.

Politics exist even in medicine. Vaccines are big business and money talks. We are all guinee pigs.

Martin:
Please show us ONE document that proves that Gardasil prevents cervical cancer!

Merck only did 'clinical trials' for 5 years. They also did not complete their clinical trials on girls ages 9-15. They ALSO used reactive aluminum (we dont know how much)in their placebo's which made the numbers of reactions to be false.

Reactive aluminum is considered toxic at 1 microgram. Each Gardasil shot has 225 micrograms (all 3 shots equal 675 micrograms!).

Along with the other toxic chemicals in Gardasil:

Each 0.5-mL dose of the vaccine contains approximately 225 mcg of aluminum (as Amorphous Aluminum Hydroxyphosphate Sulfate adjuvant), 9.56 mg of sodium chloride, 0.78 mg of L-histidine, 50 mcg of polysorbate 80, 35 mcg of sodium borate, < 7 mcg yeast protein/dose.

Do some research into those chemicals and see what you find. None of those chemicals need to be injected into anyone!

Under the ruse of attempting to eradicate cervical cancer, Merck is actually engaged in the first large scale, real world deployment and testing of genetically modified DNA, genetically engineered proteins and genetics produced by the combining of genetic material from more than one origin or species in a vaccine.

The wide spread promotion and attempts to mandate the use of this drug in the United States is clearly not predicated on preventing deaths from cervical cancer as the drug has only been approved in the U.S. for use in girls 9-26, ages when deaths from cervical cancer happen rarely, if ever. Cervical cancer has been steadily decreasing in the U.S. since 1955.

The American Cancer Society states:

"Cervical cancer was once one of the most common causes of cancer death for American women. The cervical cancer death rate declined by 74% between 1955 and 1992. The main reason for this change is the increased use of the Pap test. This screening procedure can find changes in the cervix before cancer develops. It can also find early cervical cancer in its most curable stage. The death rate from cervical cancer continues to decline by nearly 4% a year. Cervical cancer tends to occur in midlife. Most cases are found in women younger than 50. It rarely develops in women younger than 20. Almost 20 percent of women are diagnosed with cervical cancer when they are over 65."

According to a 2001 presentation by Elizabeth R. Unger Ph.D., M.D., then Acting Chief, Papillomavirus Section of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP):
*HPV infection is very prevalent in the population
*OVERALL 75% of population exposed
*Genital HPV is acquired around the time of sexual debut
*Consistent epidemiologic association of HPV with cervical cancer precursor lesions
*Plausible biologic mechanisms for HPV oncogenesis (cells becoming
cancerous)
*HPV oncogenesis is a rare event with long interval between infection and cancer
*Infection alone is insufficient to cause cancer
*Additional factors required for neoplasia (abnormal proliferation of cells)

Paraphrasing, more than 75% of the population is exposed to HPV. HPV
exposure typically occurs when a woman becomes sexually active. There is an association between HPV and cervical cancer. HPV causing cervical cancer is plausible, yet it alone does not cause cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is a rare event and there is a "long interval" between infection and development of cervical cancer.

Now follow closely. Cervical cancer typically develops in mid life (around 48 years old) even though HPV exposure typically occurs at sexual debut. This new vaccine is purported to protect against a disease that occurs, if ever, 20 to 35 years after HPV infection. Yet the duration of protection from the vaccine is unknown.

According to the FDA Gardasil approval announcement: "For most women, the body`s own defense system will clear the virus and infected women do not develop related health problems. However, some HPV types can cause abnormal cells on the lining of the cervix that years later (emphasis added) can turn into cancer."

The clinical trials on this vaccine only lasted 5 years. It is chronologically impossible to have determined efficacy in preventing cervical cancer as a result of administration of this vaccine in the study population. Speculation as to whether the protection against HPV offered by this vaccine lasts beyond the five years of studies conducted to date is just that, speculation.

...continued...

...
By the FDA`s own statement: "For most women, the body`s own defense system will clear the virus". Combined with the frequent Pap tests of study participants who were participating in a study of sexually transmitted disease, it is fair to say that the 20,541 sixteen to twenty-six year old participants in the clinical trials were far from a random representation of the average female`s risk for contracting HPV or developing cervical cancer.

The studies on nine to fifteen year old girls included far fewer participants and were halted prior to completion.

Speculation as to whether or not girls vaccinated with Gardasil will experience a lower rate of cervical cancer 10 to 30 years from now is also merely conjecture. As such, there is currently no official schedule on required booster doses of the drug.

In the FDA`s approval announcement, they state: "While the study period was not long enough for cervical cancer to develop, the prevention of these cervical precancerous lesions is believed highly likely to result in the prevention of those cancers."

Believed highly likely?

Is the role of the FDA to ensure that a drug has been proven to be a safe and effective or have we reduced the burden down to "likely to convey some benefit, maybe, sometime down the road"?

In addition, according to the FDA announcement of Gardasil`s approval , somehow the association and plausible mechanism between HPV and cervical cancer with the crystal clear statement that HPV "infection alone is insufficient to cause cancer" stated in the 2001 CDCP presentation magically morphed into "HPV is the cause of 70% of all cervical cancer".

Promoting a new, unproven, vaccine to an entire generation of young girls as a cancer vaccine, without adequate long-term safety or efficacy testing is unethical and in this author`s opinion immoral.

But wait, there is much more.

This is a whole new type of vaccine called a virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine. Anti-viral vaccines have traditionally been prepared by using attenuated, or weakened, forms of the infectious virus. This type of vaccine involves complications in manufacturing.

These brand new virus-like particle (VLP) based vaccines including Merck`s Gardasil and GSK`s Cervarix are the first ever FDA approved VLP vaccines. No long term studies or studies on populations larger than the Gardasil clinical trial (20,541 women for up to 5 years) have ever been conducted on VLP technology or the specific inter-species genetic mixing this technology represents.

According to National Institute of Health (NIH) documents:

"The underlying technology for the vaccine originated in the laboratories of Drs. John Schiller and Douglas Lowy of the NIH National Cancer Institute. Drs. Schiller and Lowy commenced their research on the molecular biology of HPV nearly 20 years ago. Among their numerous findings, they discovered that the major outer coat protein of the HPV virus, called L1, could self assemble into non-infectious virus-like particles (VLPs) that closely resemble the native outer shell of the actual virus.

The principle behind the vaccine is that exposure to VLPs triggers the immune system to produce protective antibodies. If an individual is exposed to HPV after receiving the vaccine, the immune system already contains the antibodies necessary to prevent virus infection. The antibodies primarily function by preventing the virus from binding to the cell which is necessary in order for the virus to reproduce and thrive.

The catch is that for induction of HPV neutralizing antibodies the L1
must be in the same conformation as in the intact virus. Unlike some
other viral vaccines, inactivated virus produced in cultured cells was not a viable option because the viruses could not be produced in sufficient quantities in vitro. Also, the inactivated virions would still contain the viral oncogenes, which would preclude use in healthy young people, the primary target population. (In other words, the
vaccine would produce cancer, not prevent it.)

...
Schiller and Lowy demonstrated that large quantities of VLPs could be produced in insect cells (emphasis added) infected with L1 recombinant baculovirus (a genetically engineered protein grown in insect larvae). Critically, they also showed in animal models that the L1 VLPs were able to induce high titers of neutralizing antibodies, comparable to those
induced by authentic virions. Furthermore, they and their colleagues demonstrated that L1 VLP vaccination could protect animals from experimental challenge with high dose virus of the corresponding animal papillomavirus (emphasis added) types and that human and animal papillomavirus (emphasis again added) L1 behaved similarly in the ability to assemble into VLP."

While individual papilloma virus types tend to be highly adapted to replication in a single animal species, researchers have already identified inter-species transmission of papilloma virus in rabbits and cattle. The evolution of papilloma viruses is slow compared to many other virus types. It is believed that papilloma viruses generally co-evolve with a particular species of host over many years.

The long term results of introducing into the human body genetically engineered, recombinant human, insect and animal DNA, along with human and animal strains of papillomavirus are unknown, untested and unproven, particularly when used as a vaccine, which effectively bypasses all of the body`s natural defenses against outside pathogens (skin, saliva, mucous, etc.)

The current deaths and maiming of young girls used as guinea pigs to test this new technology may be just the beginning. No one can predict what adverse consequences this newest inter-species gene mixing technology may cause. Remember we are dealing with the reproductive systems of an entire generation of young woman.

Furthermore, the two strains of HPV which the vaccine purportedly protects against account for only 70% of all cervical cancers, leaving at least 30% of these young girls with no protection against cervical cancer. To call this a cervical cancer vaccine is a tragic deception.

In addition, many health care experts have publicly predicted that cervical cancer deaths will increase sharply, with routine Pap tests foregone under a false sense of security that Gardasil has made them immune to cervical cancer (and not just the two strains of alleged cancer causing HPV for which the vaccine claims efficacy).

The fact that the vaccine is not effective in girls already exposed to the virus, yet parental supervision is mandated during the interview to determine if the recipient is sexually active, further undermines the ability to discern "qualified" candidates for this potentially dangerous, new, experimental, unproven, falsely promoted vaccine technology. Imagine a 16 year old girl who does not want to confess that she has been sexually active to a parent stating that she has not and then being administered this drug. According to a reported Merck document, if this young girl has previously been infected with HPV, she has just increased her risk of developing high grade pre-cancerous
lesions of the cervix by 44.6%.

Recombinant DNA, genetically engineered proteins, inter-species gene mixing, questionable new vaccine technology, lack of long term safety and efficacy data, questionable pre-qualifications procedures and now, an extremely high prevalence of reported adverse side effects up to and including miscarriage and death.

This vaccine represents more than just bottom line profit for Merck. This is the first genetically modified drug unleashed across a broad swath of unsuspecting, formerly healthy Americans.

Unfortunately, the target they chose for this grand genetic experiment is the entire female population of mothers to be for all future generations. Can we really afford to allow this fraud and deception to continue?

...continued...

...
These 'side effects are NOT rare! They are happening every day to literally hundreds of thousands of young girls after receiving Gardasil. The numbers in VAERS is estimated to only be between 1-10% of the true numbers!

Try asking some of us moms who have to deal with these horrible side effects every day if we consider it to be RARE!

My 16 year old daughter has been injured by Gardasil. She was a healthy, active teenage girl before Gardasil was pushed on us at a routine doctor visit. After receiving 2 of the 3 shots, my daughter has experienced severe overall weakness, numbness/tingling in both legs and left arm, chest pains, racing heart, pressure in head, vision problems, back pain, abdominal pain, nausea, diarhea, weight loss, dizziness, just to name a few. She has been in the ER twice, once by ambulance because she stopped breathing 3 times.

She's seen several doctors. She's had a CT scan done. All tests come back normal (which is typical with all of the injured 'gardasil girls'). Her blood panel showed high on immunoglobulin E (131H) and Anti-streptolysin O (208H) which the doctor 'thought' was Rheumatic Fever. Another doctor has said he did not believe she had Rheumatic Fever.

I would love for you to look at the other side of the fence and research this. There are thousands upon thousands of girls that are coming down with strange illnesses, paralysis, gran mal seizures, etc. after receiving Gardasil.

We are now getting reports of girls/young women that are breaking out with genital warts and severe cases of cervical cancer AFTER receiving Gardasil. Before Gardasil, they were tested for HPV and the test results came back negative. Now, a few months after getting the Gardasil vaccine their test results are positive. Some of these girls/women did not initially have any side effects from the vaccine.

We have Gardasil injured girls that are being interviewed by the media all over the United States. We are trying to get the word out (and our stories) to try and get someone to listen.

It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that these perfectly healthy girls all of a sudden come down with all of these strange sicknesses (some that I cant even pronounce) after getting jabbed with Gardasil. All within days/weeks? Come on!!!!

I'm telling you...once this all comes out in the open (and it WILL), and these HPV vaccines are taken off the market, and major law suits pop up...maybe then you will wish you had researched this better! Just like Merck's 'wonderful' Vioxx...what will it take? 100,000 dead/injured before someone takes notice?

You can't get correct information from someone who's wallet has been lined with 'donations' and 'contributions' from Merck, thats for sure!!!

DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!

Study clearly demonstrates that aluminum found in vaccines can cause neurologic damage.

Written by Roman Bystrianyk
Monday, 21 September 2009 22:17
Randi Allaire was an Information Management Specialist in the military for almost four years. Three and one-half years were spent with the Air National Guard as Information Management, the previous five and half was with the Army Guard as a Flight Operations Specialist.
As part of the military's program to protect their troops from chemical and biological weapons, Randi was required to take the anthrax vaccine. On March 14, 1999 she was given her fourth anthrax vaccine. It was after that shot that she has suffered chronic fatigue, memory lapses, migraines, pain in the forearms, and other aches and pains. She received no help with her condition and only denials that the anthrax vaccine could cause any of these problems and that the cause of her problems was likely the "flu" or too much "stress". She was eventually thrown out of the military because she refused to take the fifth anthrax vaccine shot in fear for her own personal health.

Aluminum is the most commonly licensed adjuvant that is added to a large number of vaccines. An adjuvant is a substance added to a vaccine to amplify the immune response. Aluminum compounds, which were identified over 90 years ago as adjuvants, are considered by the pharmaceutical industry and various government agencies as safe. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has continued to approve the use of aluminum as an additive to vaccines for many years.

Despite these assurances that aluminum and all vaccine ingredients are safe, large numbers of military veterans who suffer from Gulf War Syndrome as well as parents of children who suffer from various neurologic conditions including Autism strongly believe that the vaccines were often at least in part a cause of their health problems.

A recent study in the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry examined the possible neurotoxicity of aluminum. This new work builds on a previous study where the researchers had injected mice with a combination of aluminum and squalene, another vaccine adjuvant which is not licensed in North America.

In that study the investigators injected mice with adjuvants that mimicked the anthrax vaccine schedule set by the Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program. The investigators concluded in that study"our data suggest that the aluminum hydroxide adjuvant induces both behavioral and motor deficits and the loss of motor neurons and increased presence of astrocytes [astrocytes are cells that express inflammatory markers] in spinal cord and neuronal apoptosis [cell death] in the primary motor cortex." When Professor Shaw was asked in an article by Pieta Wooley about this research Professor Shaw replied "No one in my lab wants to get vaccinated. This totally creeped us out. We weren't out there to poke holes in vaccines. But all of a sudden, oh my God-we've got neuron death!"

In this new study (also termed experiment 2), mice received 6 aluminum hydroxide injections over a 2 week period. These mice along with control mice were subjected to a more rigorous behavioral testing regime than the original experiment.

The investigators found "the multiple aluminum hydroxide injections of experiment 2 showed profound effects on motor and other behaviours... Multiple aluminum injections produced significant behavioural outcomes including changes in locomotion behavior, and induced memory deficits on water maze tasks."

I asked Professor Shaw "To your knowledge have there been any autopsies performed on service men and women that had GWS [Gulf War Syndrome] and have died to examine if they have a similar pattern of aluminum contamination that you discovered in your research?" He responded "that it has not been done to my knowledge." I also asked "Has there been an examination of people with autism to examine the obvious likely link between aluminum and mercury contamination and that condition?" Again he responded "Not to my knowledge."

...continued...

...
It is important to note that while this and their previous study showed "significant behavioural and neuropathological outcomes with aluminum hydroxide" that these results were achieved under minimal conditions and that the effect of multiple other factors in real situation such as "stress, multiple vaccinations, and exposure to other toxins" would more than likely make the outcomes worse. "A recent study examining some of these factors in combination showed that stress, vaccination, and pyridostigmine bromide (Pyridostigmine bromide has been FDA approved for military use during combat situations as an agent to be given prior to exposure to the nerve agent Soman in order to increase survival), may synergistically act on multiple stress-activated kinases in the brain to induce neurologic impairment in GWS."

I asked Professor Shaw, "In your opinion why do various governmental agencies continue to insist that vaccines are safe when you clearly state in your research paper that ‘it also seems that there have been no rigorous animal studies of potential aluminum adjuvant toxicity. The absence of such studies is peculiar given the well known observation that aluminum in general can be neurotoxic under a number of conditions and adjuvants in particular have previously been implicated in neurological disease'?" Professor Shaw replied "A less charitable person than I would likely look at links between pharma and the regulatory agencies. I don't know of any safe adjuvants. Aluminum is the one considered ‘safe'."

The authors conclude, "Overall, the results reported here mirror previous work that has clearly demonstrated that aluminum, in both oral and injected forms, can be neurotoxic." I followed up with Professor Shaw "knowing what you know about aluminum from your research would you personally use a vaccine that contains aluminum?" He responded "No, and I don't."

The following vaccines (vaccine name/trade name, manufacturer, and information from the product insert) contain aluminum adjuvant:

Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed/Biothrax, Emergent BioDefense Operations Lansing, Inc., "The final product is formulated to contain 1.2 mg/mL aluminum, added as aluminum hydroxide in 0.85% sodium chloride."

Diphtheria & Tetanus Toxoids Adsorbed, Sanofi Pasteur Inc, "Each 0.5 mL dose is formulated to contain 6.7 Lf of diphtheria toxoid, 5 Lf of tetanus toxoid, and not more than 0.17 mg of aluminum."
Diphtheria & Tetanus Toxoids & Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed/Tripedia, Sanofi Pasteur, Inc., "Each 0.5 mL dose also contains, by assay, not more than 0.170 mg of aluminum and not more than 100 μg (0.02%) of residual formaldehyde."

Diphtheria & Tetanus Toxoids & Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed/Infanrix, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, "Each 0.5-mL dose contains 4.5 mg of NaCl and aluminum adjuvant (not more than 0.625 mg aluminum by assay).

Jane, You know as long as Merck and all the BIG PHARMA'S have a shield of preemption of the Law, with the immunity they can do what ever they please to continue with their drug Blitz in this country and the world. They are not held Accountable for any loss of life that they take from innocent children or any consumers. They are above the Law. Fact is there is NO FEDERAL,NO STATE LAW for Product Liability for DEFECTIVE Prescription DRUGS. NO remedy is provided for death or injury. Merck and others get off with a voluntary (NO CONTEST) Criminal fine, Called Settlement out of Court, as the cost of doing business and uses the Consumers as their experimental scientific study, that never gets public announcements other than the death certificate.It is shameful that our Congress allows this to continue. If you as an indivual tries to seek justice, with or without an Attorney you can not prosecute for the intentional death caused by any Prescription drug. The Law is Preempted by Congress.
