Gardasil is a vaccine that is supposed to help guard against cervical cancer by preventing human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that can sometimes lead to cervical cancer. The Gardasil vaccine was developed and patented by Merck & Co. and initially released back in 2006. A newer version of the Gardasil vaccine was later developed and patented by Merck and is still in use today.
The problems with Gardasil date back to its original development and marketing by Merck. In the early 2000s, Merck was reeling from billions in losses related to its failed drug Vioxx. To help the company climb out of this financial hole, executives at Merck devised a plan to turn Gardasil into a new blockbuster vaccine that could generate billions in future revenues.
First, Merck invested millions in a behind-the-scenes marketing campaign to promote “disease awareness” about HPV. Before this effort, there was little concern about the link between HPV and cervical cancer. Merck’s marketing efforts grossly exaggerated the potential health risks of HPV. The sole purpose of these efforts was not to address a real public health issue but to stimulate more demand for an HPV vaccine.
Gardasil Can Cause Serious Auto Immune Injuries
To obtain FDA for Gardasil, Merck allegedly manipulated its clinical trials to conceal the real level of risk and falsely enhance the safety profile of the vaccine. This made it look like Gardasil had very few side effects or adverse reactions, when in fact the number of serious adverse reactions associated with the vaccine was much higher.
Gardasil has now been on the market for almost 17 years and medical research has revealed that the vaccine has a dangerous tendency to induce very serious autoimmune disorders in a significant percentage of patients. Some of the most serious autoimmune diseases that can be caused by Gardasil include:
Premature Ovarian Failure (premature menopause)
Guillain–Barré Syndrome
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
