HPV VACCINES: A NECESSITY OR A SCAM?

HPV VACCINES: A NECESSITY OR A SCAM?

A lot has been said about the validity of vaccinations.  Responses from the public have ranged from outright rejection to wild conspiracy theories.

First came the news that some batches, very large batches, of flu vaccines were contamined with matter and small debris, which prompted a massive recall.

Then the specter was raised that inert compounds in the vaccines, might not be so inert after all, such as thimerosol, and squalene.  

Asides from concerns of purity and outright neglect, one of the most important and overlooked problems in the administration of vaccines is the meddling of pharmaceutical companies in proposing and collaborating on the legislative initiatives that mandate certain vaccines for school attendance.

It should be apparent to almost everyone, that pharmaceutical companies should not have a seat in the state's meetings that decide health protocols for prevention of disease.  And yet time after time, they are found to have not just a role but a principal one in the proposal and implimentation of prevention protocols.

One such glaring case was the signing into law the mandatory rule of HPV vaccinations in the State of Texas, signed by the then Governor of the STate.

Such protocol mandated that HPV vaccinations be mandatory for school attendance.  One has to blink just to absord the impact of this decision once one is informed of the fact that the pharmaceutical company that produces the vaccine had a major stake, through lobbying efforts nationwide, and the inclusion in the state's process, in creating such legislation.

Since then, reports have surfaced of the vaccine's sometimes lethal side effects, which have been minimized by both the pharma company and the state where such vaccination is mandatory.

One of the most frightening studies however, has brought to light the fact that the HPV vaccine seems to be woefully ineffective both in preventing cervical cancer and in preventing cases of HPV infection.  When reports started to surface of the vaccine's wild claims of prevention, pegged at a staggering 70% of cases of cervical cancer, some indipendent researchers decided to put the pharma company's feet to the fire.

Peer review of the trials conducted by the prodution company has revealed that faulty studies have been used to bolster claims of the vaccine's effectiveness.  More importantly the vaccine only covers a few strains of HPV and offers zero protection for the other.

Another outrageous claim, was the pharma's contention that HPV vaccines were a lifetime protection to HPV strains.  However, since then evidence has surfaced that the vaccine, like most others, has at best a 5 year effectiveness.  Which would mean that a child who is given the vaccine at 8, loses the protection afforded by the vaccine, if any, by the age of 13, just about the time of sexual maturity.  

Such studies should give mothers a great deal of thought.  Indeed studies have demonstrated that proper screening through traditional methods have been more effective than vaccination.  

Are we then the victims of a massive scale marketing campaign? in the case of the HPV vaccine, and according to many serious researchers in the medical field we might as well be.

This is not the first time that pharmaceuticals companies push their agenda to bolster sales of medications or vaccines whose trials are faulty or do not disclose the extent of adverse reactions.

  1. The article you base your post on is not very convincing. It argues that there's no proof HPV vaccines prevent cancer... but it's extremely well established that HPV is the cause of 99+% of cervical cancer, and that the HPV vaccine effectively prevents the two main strains of HPV that lead to cervical cancer. Concluding that it will therefore prevent half of all cervical cancer is a reasonably safe bet.

    Profit motive or no, the data shows that the HPV vaccine is safe and effective. People who argue otherwise are not seriously looking at the data.

  2. Dear Dan, thank you for your comment. As the article points out, the fact that HPV can cause c. cancer is not in dispute. What is, is the length of the vaccine's efficacy and the misleading information used by the producers. The source article is not the only literature that raises doubts about the vaccine's efficacy. Furthermore, the vaccine only cover a handful of strains, leaving the person to believe that she is protected from all strains. BPH staff.
