In June 2012 Chace Topperwein, an adorable 3 year-old boy from New Zealand, lost his battle with a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Chace was accidentally given Merck's Gardasil HPV vaccine that is intended to prevent cervical cancer from genital wart infection, when he was 6 weeks old. A nurse mistakenly used the wrong syringe filled with Gardasil when she had meant to give the baby a meningitis vaccine. Chace was diagnosed with myeloid leukemia at age 2 and died just last month. His devastated parents suspected that the Gardasil vaccine was to blame for his illness.Merck does not list leukemia as a possible side effect of the Gardasil vaccine. However, Merck has failed to test its vaccine for links to cancer.
Vaccine Exemption Forms
It is stated in the package insert that it has not been tested for carcinogenic properties.
ReplyDeleteGardasil may cause cancer in another way too, by the process of "replacement". This is a normal phenomenon in virology where virus strains which are removed are always replaced by new ones.
It is completely unknown (also to the manufacturers, Merck) if the new strains will be more carcinogenic than the ones which have been removed.
Additionally, the aluminium bound HPV DNA discovered in Gardasil by an independent lab may also increase cancer risk according to unbiased experts.
Conclusion: Gardasil may actually increase the risk of cancer.
