Views on Human Papillomavirus Vaccination: A Mixed-Methods Study of Urban Youth
Abstract While the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine has potential to protect against the majority of HPV-associated cancers, vaccination rates in the United States remain low. Racial/ethnic and economic disparities exist for HPV vaccination completion rates. We conducted a mixed-methods study using the theory of planned behavior framework to explore attitudes and beliefs about HPV vaccination among urban, economically disadvantaged adolescents. Fifty adolescents aged 14–18 years were recruited from community-based organizations to complete a written survey and participate in a focus group. The mean age was 1...

12-year-old Girl Dies Hours After She is Injected with HPV Vaccine
The family of a 12-year-old girl from Wisconsin who died hours after receiving an HPV vaccine is grieving the loss of their daughter. Meredith Prohaska, described as being an extremely active and healthy girl, passed away on July 30th. [1] According to a news report, Meredith’s mother took her to the doctor for a sore throat. At the doctor appointment, she received the HPV vaccine. Later in the afternoon, the mother found her daughter unresponsive on the floor, and she was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The parents suspect the vaccine as the primary cause of their daughter’s death. However, Meredith’s autopsy...

Safety and immunogenicity of a quadrivalent human papillomavirus vaccine in HIV-infected and HIV-negative adolescents and young adults.
Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is highly prevalent and can lead to cancer; the development of safe and efficacious vaccines for HPV is a major public health concern. The two licensed HPV vaccines contain recombinant virus-like particles of HPV 16 and 18; one of such vaccines also protects against HPV types 6 and 11 which cause genital warts. We determined safety and immunogenicity of quadrivalent HPV vaccine in HIV-infected and HIV-negative adolescents and young adults, aged 13-27 years. The seroconversion rate, assessed by antibody titers, 1 month after the administration of the third vaccine dose ...

Safety, tolerability and side effects of human papillomavirus vaccines: a systematic quantitative review.
Abstract Recently, many studies have evaluated HPV vaccine safety and adverse effects. Two vaccines have been recently evaluated in randomized controlled trials: the bivalent vaccine for HPV 16 and 18 (Cervarix, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, Rixensart, Belgium) and the quadrivalent vaccine for HPV 6, 11, 16, and 18 (Gardasil, Merck and Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, NJ). We have performed a systematic review of all randomized controlled trials in which HPV vaccines were compared with placebo regarding safety, tolerability and adverse effects. Studies were searched up to March 2013 in the databases: Pubmed, Embase, ...

HPV vaccine could be offered to boys
"HPV vaccine could be given to boys as well as girls in UK," The Guardian reports. It goes on to say that, "Government advisers are to consider whether the HPV vaccine, routinely offered to girls at the ages of 12 and 13 since 2008 to help protect them against cervical cancer, should also be offered to boys and some men". The news appears to be based on draft minutes from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). The JCVI advises the government on how vaccinations may reduce health problems – and considers the evidence on factors such as the prevalence of diseases, and the safety ...

HPV Vaccines Can Kill And They Do!
Conclusion Just from the evidence that I have provided, HPV vaccines clearly are not safe, and yet no government to date has ever banned these vaccines. Other products have been banned for far less dangers, so why is a vaccine that has killed 140 women and children and maimed thousands of others been allowed to stay on the market? To offer the HPV vaccine to newborn babies along with the hepatitis B vaccine is pure evil. Many babies are born prematurely and we have to ask ourselves what the impact of these two highly dangerous and toxic vaccines given at the same time will be. We also need to question why newborn babies ne...

Vaccines Can Cause Infertility
Conclusion What I have discovered, I am sure that many would agree, is absolutely horrific. It appears that many of the recommended vaccinations are known by the governments and pharmaceutical industries to cause infertility. Many of these vaccines are mandatory. We need to ask ourselves why our governments are deliberately force-vaccinating us with vaccines known to cause infertility. Another question we need to ask is why are so many studies being funded to study the subject area surrounding vaccines and infertility. Many leading professionals believe that these vaccines are being offered as part of a global depopulation...

What a jerk: perils in the assessment of psychogenic movement disorders
In 2012, the upstate New York town of LeRoy became something of a neuropsychiatric battleground when it witnessed an outbreak of cases of sudden-onset tic-like behaviour in high-school age girls, many from a single school.1 The ‘Tourette's epidemic’, as it was dubbed by a fascinated world media, attracted different explanations: for every claim that this was ‘mass hysteria’ (ie, conversion disorder), there was an outraged counter-claim to the effect that such a diagnosis was missing a real organic cause of these tics and jerks, variously thought to be PANDAS (a rare and still controversial apparent ...

HPV Vaccines Are Lowering Infection Rates Among Teenage Girls
The HPV vaccines may be controversial, but they are proving effective. A new study finds that the prevalence of the human papillomavirus, which can lead to cervical cancer, dropped by roughly half among teenage girls between the ages of 14 and 19 years old during the four years following the 2006 introduction of the first vaccine, the Gardasil shot that is sold by Merck (MRK). The findings, which were published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, are significant not only because it signals the vaccination campaign is apparently succeeding, but has also done so amid continual debate over the safety and veracity of the va...

Citing Side Effects, Japan Pulls Recommendations For HPV Vaccines
In the latest blow to drugmakers that market HPV vaccines, the Japanese health ministry has withdrawn its recommendation for vaccination after receiving hundreds of side effects reports of long-term pain and numbness, among other things, The Asahi Shimbun writes. Although vaccines will remain available, local health officials are being told not to promote vaccination while studies are conducted. “The decision does not mean that the vaccine, itself, is problematic from the view of safety, “ Mariko Momoi, vp of the International University of Health and Welfare, who headed a task force probing the issue, tells the paper....

Another cancer we can prevent
Although no one talks about it much, one of the results of the AIDS epidemic has been that there has been an increase in the number of men diagnosed with anal cancer. This cancer arises in the anus, about a half-inch inside and above the opening. The first symptom is itching that doesn’t go away and then soreness and bleeding and finally, pain. In my practice, the only patients I saw with this were women. I wasn’t sure why until the discovery of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus). Not only is this the virus that causes cervical cancer and is sexually transmitted but now we know it also causes anal cancer. It isn’t clear wh...
