A MELBOURNE woman who suffered an auto-immune and neurological attack after being injected with the cervical cancer drug Gardasil is leading a class action against its manufacturer.
And another seven Victorian women who are considering joining the court case against Gardasil manufacturer Merck, say they have suffered anaphylaxis and physical breakdowns as a result of the vaccine.
One attributed her miscarriage in her local supermarket to the injections.
Naomi Snell, 28, said her life was put on hold for more than two years after she lost the ability to walk, battled crippling back and neck pain, and suffered convulsions that started soon after her first injection in July 2008.
“I never attributed it to my vaccine so I went back for my second and third dose,” Ms Snell said.
“My doctors said I was a case for Dr House. They were baffled.
“They did actually diagnose me with Multiple Sclerosis, but have since retracted that and said it was just a neurological reaction to the vaccine.”
It wasn’t until she read an article about a Sydney neurologist uncovering Gardasil as a potential cause of MS-like symptoms in other women that she made a timeline of her deterioration from reports from her doctors and physiotherapist.
The link is broken. This story has been picked up by about ten blogs. But the original at the Courier.com.au is NOWHERE to be found. Only this article from a couple years ago. http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/gardasil-linked-to-ms-symptoms/story-e6freoof-1225809681981
Anyone screen shot or save the original article??
