The National Vaccine Information Center (http://www.nvic.org/)
is petitioning President Barack Obama and Congress on behalf of
families to investigate Gardasil vaccine deaths and serious injuries
NOW!

Whereas:

Gardasil vaccine was fast tracked and licensed by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) in 2006 and immediately recommended by the Centers
for Disease Control (CDC) for universal use by all 11-12 year old
girls, teenagers and young women to age 26; and Merck, the drug company marketing Gardasil, was required by
federal health agencies to study Gardasil side effects in only about
1200 girls 16 years old and younger and follow them up for less than
two years before getting a license; and

Merck was not required by federal health agencies to
use a true placebo in pre-licensure clinical trials but compared
Gardasil against a placebo that contained an unknown amount of
aluminum, potentially masking the true reactivity of Gardasil, which
also contains aluminum; and

The deaths and serious health problems experienced by
participants receiving Gardasil in pre-licensure clinical trials were
written off by Merck as a coincidence; and

The thousands of adverse events reported to the federal
Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) since Gardasil has been
licensed, including deaths and serious health problems involving
emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and permanent injuries, have
been written off by federal health agencies as a coincidence; and

A comparison of serious adverse events, such as death,
stroke, blood clots, cardiac arrest, seizures, fainting, lupus, and
rechallenge cases, reported to VAERS after Gardasil vaccination and
meningococcal (Menactra) vaccination reveal that these events are
reported three to 30 times more frequently after Gardasil vaccination;
and

Doctors and parents are not being informed by federal
agencies or Merck about all serious adverse events associated with
Gardasil so steps can be taken to monitor vaccine reactions and prevent
injury and death; and

The hallmark of good government is honesty, accountability and transparency; and

President Barack Obama and members of  Congress have
pledged to improve government honesty, accountability and transparency
for the people of the United States;

Therefore,

We call on President Barack Obama, his Administration and the U.S.
Congress to investigate the expedited licensing and universal use
recommendation by federal health agencies that all girls aged 11-12
years old and young women up to age 26 receive three doses of Gardasil;
and further

To take action to minimize the human and economic costs of Gardasil
vaccination for individuals and the American public in order to protect
the lives of Americans who trust the government to ensure that vaccines
licensed for public use are safe, effective and necessary.
