Serious Adverse
Reactions:
The Uncooked Raw Data.
ComeLook.org, 06 Jun 2010
Can we trust the co-inventor of
the HPV vaccine (Dr Frazer) when he says there is only a '1
in a million' chance of someone needing 'treatment' as a result of a Gardasil serious
adverse reaction? [speaking on
Irish radio (
forward to 1:09:40
)].
If his claims are true then how can the US '
National Vaccine Information
Center' (
NVIC) list almost 600 cases
from the US alone where victims have been left 'disabled'
by the HPV vaccine?
The source of this collated NVIC figure is
the
VAERS
site:
The
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national vaccine safety
surveillance program co-sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (
CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (
FDA).
After Gardasil was approved (8 Jun 2006), it
took almost a year before the FDA made these post-marketing Adverse Events
Reports available to the public, and only after a Freedom of Information
request by
Judicial
Watch.
I should point out that this raw data
source does have it's limitations - as the VAERs site itself
documents:
"Underreporting" is one of the main limitations of passive
surveillance systems, including VAERS. The term, underreporting refers to the
fact that VAERS receives reports for only a small
fraction of actual adverse events.So for the skeptical
information-seeker who prefers a first-hand source to second-hand
information, then, here are instructions on how to access the raw data for
yourself (with random example):
- Go to
http://vaers.hhs.gov/data/index - Hit the 'I accept' button to continue to the data
page.
- First open the file from the "VAERS Vaccine" column (year 2010).
Scroll down the VAX_NAME
column in the excel sheet till you find a "HPV (GARDASIL)" case (there are
many) and then make a note of the corresponding VAERS_ID.
The first entry I chose had
Vaers ID = 375681.
- Now go back to
the main VAERS
data page
and open the excel file
from "VAERS Data" column (year 2010). Do a 'find' ('Ctrl F') on
the VAERS_ID column for '375681':
Then you
can read the related report (see example at end of article),
For those inclined
to interpret the evidence a certain way, I should warn you of another
'VAERS
Limitation' as documented on the government CDC site:
A
major limitation of VAERS data is that there is no proven causal association
between the vaccine and the adverse event. The only association is in time,
meaning that the adverse event occurred sometime after vaccination. Therefore,
we cannot conclude that the events reported to VAERS were caused by the
vaccine.So, according to this CDC statement, Dr. Frazer (HPV Co-inventor) is actually being
generous with his 'one in a million' admission. He is perfectly
entitled to claim that there has not been any proven association between the vaccine
and any serious adverse event whatsoever (other than coincidence).
Independent
researchers report that systemic
autoimmunity appears to be the inevitable consequence of
over-stimulating
the host's immune ‘system’ by repeated immunization -
meaning a
hyper-activated
immune system starts attacking the
'host' cells (i.e it mistakes the bodies own normal healthy cells as
foreign invaders). Therefore, because the effect is 'indirect', vaccine
makers (and their
supporters
in the regulatory agencies
such as the
CDC & FDA) can
claim there is no physical evidence that the vaccine directly caused
the destructive behaviour of the immune system (no matter how close to
vaccination the symptoms were first reported).
This is the premise on which the
Irish Health service issues it'd recommendation that Gardasil is 'safe'.
Some people have been known to go into anaphylactic
shock after being stung by a wasp (or eating peanuts). I know it's only
coincidence and a 'causal association' cannot be
proved, but sometimes I wonder...
And as for the example VAERS report I chose at random above (ID =
'375681'):
