Bioethicists Not So Ethical When It Comes to Gardasil Injuries

Dr. Caplan et al., we are not willing to gamble with patient’s lives…..
However, you and some of your associates are apparently willing to do just that.

Time to get this story straight: – University of Pennsylvania bioethicist, Dr. Art Caplan^1.recently committed what SANE Vax views as an unprecedented HIPAA violation by offering a $10,000 reward for ‘proof of Bachmann vaccine claims.’

Forcing a family to disclose their child’s health records publicly, in front of a maniacal witch burning media network out to get Presidential Candidate Michelle Bachmann, is unethical, immoral, unprofessional and unwarranted. Obviously the news of Gardasil contamination and Bachmann’s reference to the vaccine as potentially dangerous has dug a knife deep into the heart of the Pharma industrial beast.

Now, the beast thinks it can raise its ugly head publicly demanding this family sacrifice a child’s privacy to save Bachmann’s political face.  Outrageous.

According to Forbes Magazine, ‘University of Pennsylvania bioethicist Art Caplan is so confident that Michele Bachmann’s claim that a young girl was made mentally retarded by injections of the Gardasil vaccine against human papilloma virus is false that he is offering to donate $10,000 to the charity of Bachmann’s choice if she can produce such a patient.

‘Caplan, who has made the offer via Twitter, to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, on the radio stations WTVN and WOR, also proposes that Bachmann should donate $10,000 to the charity of his choice if such a patient can be produced. He says her campaign hasn’t responded. He writes:

‘If she can produce a case in one week starting today verified by three medical experts that she and I pick of a woman who became ‘retarded’ (her words) due to HPV vaccine I will donate that to a charity of her choice.’ ^2.

Charity of Bachmann’s choice?  Dr. Caplan, you should be writing a check to the victim’s family to cover the medical costs incurred by the contaminated vaccine.  In fact, the entire industry better get their checkbooks ready – because families are lining up ready to speak out and be counted.

In addition to Caplan, ‘another bioethicist, Steven Miles of the University of Minnesota, has offered $1,000 if a patient whose brain was damaged by an HPV vaccine can be produced. The bioethicists are making a pretty safe bet, because the odds of finding a reputable medical expert who will say a case of mental disability was caused by Gardasil is close to nil.’ ^2.

Define ‘reputable’ – one who is paid to be beholden to Merck?   Sirs, you are doing the 23,388 adversely injured adolescents and the 102 families whose daughters and sons have died HPV post-vaccination a disgraceful disservice with your pompous attitudes.

SANE Vax Inc. believes that Caplan and Miles are violating HIPAA’s (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Patient Privacy Act guaranteeing privacy rights under federal law by focusing the media’s biased pharmaceutical spotlight on innocent families forcing them into the media limelight to disclose their adolescent’s medical history to the public. ^3.

All this mother in Florida did was take advantage of the opportunity to let Bachmann know there is a problem with Gardasil.  Where is the crime in that?  All Bachmann did was publicly report what the mother told her…why should she be raked over the coals…unless of course there is something to hide?

Why not focus on a girl whose mother has already spoken out on the issue to try and find the cause of her brain damage.  That is what ‘mental retardation’ is isn’t it?

Hobart Indiana mother Amy Pingel has been very vocal in her efforts to get media attention to the fact that Gardasil can cause serious side effects, including seizures, neurological problems and even paralysis.  She believes her daughter is proof.

Her daughter, Zeda was a normal, healthy 13-year-old who loved her family, her friends and her phone. She once was a popular cheerleader and A-B student, who texted and talked tirelessly. Now, she is silent. She is strapped to her wheelchair, her head leaning against a head rest, her eyes wandering, seemingly sightless. She can neither walk, eat, nor speak.^4.

Research vs. Rebuttal

If indeed, these bioethicists were ethical, they would be doing the research instead of using their ‘authority’ to refute the claim.

Instead, SANE Vax Inc. has gathered research for them since their arrogance is standing in the way of bioethics.

According to VAERS – the following reports have been listed for HPV, HPV2 & HPV 4 and ‘mental disorders.’ This is an estimated 1 to 10% of the vaccine-injured population reporting.

Encephalitis is known to be an infection that involves inflammation of the brain that can cause mental retardation. ^5.

According to Wikipedia – Encephalomyelitis is a general term for inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, describing a number of disorders including:

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis or postinfectious encephalomyelitis, a demyelinating disease of the brain and spinal cord, possibly triggered by vaccination or viral infection;  Encephalomyelitis disseminata, a synonym for multiple sclerosis;  and Myalgic encephalomyelitis, a syndrome involving inflammation of the central nervous system with symptoms of muscle pain and fatigue; the term has sometimes been used interchangeably with chronic fatigue syndrome ^6.

The following peer-reviewed studies point out the links between Encephalitis and HPV Vaccines:

Demyelinating disease and polyvalent human papilloma virus vaccination
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry doi:10.1136/jnnp.2010.214924

Since its inception, the polyvalent vaccine against the human papilloma virus (HPV), Gardasil, has generated some controversies as a temporal relationship between the administrations of the vaccine and the development of a few autoimmune diseases, such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), multiple sclerosis (MS) and Guillain–Barre syndrome have been reported. We encountered two cases whose initial presentation of CNS demyelination followed in close time relationship the administration of Gardasil vaccine and we discuss their possible association.

Wildemann et al. present a case of aggressive acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) following immunization with the polyvalent human papillomaviruses (HPV) vaccine. The time between vaccine exposure and onset of illness provides evidence for a cause-effect relationship.

The author goes on to note “…it is important to monitor the occurrence of immune-mediated diseases that are occurring after vaccination with Gardasil®”

Gentlemen – it is high time you acknowledge there is a problem with the HPV vaccines.  Medical consumers know it, and researchers and medical professionals are aware. Get your checks ready because we are coming to collect.
