Gardasil in France: Marie-Océane Bourguignon’s Experience

August 7, 2018 By Norma 9 Comments

Story submitted by her parents

Before Gardasil Injections

Marie–Océane’s parents, Jean-Jacques and Yveline Bourguignon, granted permission for their daughter’s story to be published hoping they can help people realize there are potential risks involved with HPV vaccinations. They do not want anyone else to go through what they have experienced without knowing of the possibility in advance.

Jean-Jacques and Yveline say Océane was a girl full of joy, health, and laughter before her 15th birthday. They affectionately called her their ‘little pearl’. She never had to visit the doctor for an illness. That is until her life was turned upside-down because of trust. This is her story.

Océane was 15 years old when she went to her family doctor to get a medical certificate for dancing with a friend. The doctor suggested Gardasil for cervical cancer prevention. Her parents trusted their family doctor and consented to the vaccination. They did not realize this decision would set off a chain of events that would make Dante’s Inferno look like a picnic.

In 2010, Marie-Océane Bourguignon received two injections of Gardasil; the first on October 11th and the second on December 13th. Two weeks after the first injection, she experienced sensory and motor problems in her upper limbs before spontaneously and gradually regressing over a two week period. Her parents thought the tingling in her arms and loss of balance were simply a normal part of adolescence.

Two months later, after the second injection, she vomited and suffered from severe dizziness. Three months after the second injection, on the 13th of March 2011, Marie–Océane was hospitalized at Centre Hospitalier de Dax for deterioration in her general health, cerebral-vestibular disturbances and sensory-motor impairment (ataxia-an inability to coordinate voluntary muscular movements, and vertigo).

On March 15, 2011, an MRI of her brain revealed lesions in the white matter. The year 2011 was a descent into hell for Océane’s parents. They spent their time traveling from home to hospital and back. Océane’s attacks were devastating. She could appear to be in good health in the evening before bed and be vomiting as soon as she woke up the next morning. Her parents didn’t know from one day to the next what new symptom they would have to help Océane deal with.

One stroke had left her in a wheelchair without vision or hearing due to the acute encephalomyelitis.

For two years, Océane could not attend school. Wheelchairs, facial paralysis, dizziness and great fatigue kept her home.

One of the many hospital visits for our daughter

Fortunately, she had friends to support her during the time she was suffering from so many new medical conditions.

Her mother had to quit her job to be with Océane during her time of need. Yveline refused to leave her daughter alone when she was in such a physical and moral state. Océane’s mother and father lived in constant fear of losing their ‘precious pearl’.

The doctors initially thought Marie was suffering from either multiple sclerosis or acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM). After multiple subsequent hospitalizations, it was determined that she had developed multiple sclerosis, a chronic, typically progressive disease involving damage to the sheaths of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord with symptoms including numbness, impairment of speech and muscular coordination, blurred vision, and severe fatigue. Marie-Océane will live with this condition for the rest of her life. There is no known cure.

In spite of all this, her parents feel lucky. Despite the fact her doctors hesitated to make a firm diagnosis for two years, they concluded the encephalomyelitis was a result of the HPV vaccinations. Since the temporal association between Océane’s symptoms and Gardasil were quickly brought to light by her doctors, Marie’s parents avoided the medical wandering many French parents have been forced to endure when their daughters exhibited new medical conditions after Gardasil. The second bonus for Marie’s family was her doctors made a statement to pharmacovigilance regarding their assessment of the reasons for Marie’s symptoms.

During the two years, doctors were trying to decide on a final diagnosis for Marie, her parents requested an expert opinion from the Regional Commission for Medical Accidents in Aquitaine. They concluded that the pathology was consistent with a vaccine injury but that because her father (age 50) had type 2 diabetes, there was possibly an underlying genetic susceptibility.

Consequently, her parents filed for compensation on her behalf with CRCI, Regional Medical Injury Arbitration and Compensation Tribunal in Bordeaux on January 28, 2012.

In Bordeaux, on September 18, 2013, Judge Patrick Mairé handed down a decision stating Gardasil was 50% responsible for the permanent injury of this French teenager who had received two injections of the HPV vaccine. The other 50% was attributed to a genetic predisposition for autoimmune disorders. (Judge Mairé presides over lawsuits filed with a regional branch of the CRCI in France, which is the equivalent of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) court in the United States.)

Sanofi, which sells Gardasil on behalf of Merck in Europe had to make a compensation proposal. They did not accept accountability for the injury despite the first judgment and the reports of two medical experts. They remained in denial and alluded to the arrogance of the family for daring to claim their daughter’s condition was a vaccine injury. Sanofi’s settlement agreement even attempted to pass the parents off as anti-vaccine.

Even so, the Bourguignon family had been successful. They could have accepted the compensation award and gone on to try and rebuild their lives.

But this family knew they were not the only ones to have had their lives turned upside down after using the HPV vaccine, Gardasil. They knew the decision by CRCI would not be widely publicized in order to warn other families about the potential risks involved with the use of HPV vaccines. In short, they knew accepting the compensation would benefit no one other than their own family.

Consequently, they decided to turn down the award and take their case to a traditional criminal court where the outcome of the adjudication could be made public. They decided a just decision for their family was simply not good enough. They wanted justice for all victims of adverse events after Gardasil. They wanted to have the opportunity to warn others about the potential risks involved with consenting to the use of HPV vaccines. They wanted the opportunity to make the public aware of the fact that HPV vaccines can be quite dangerous for some individuals.

Our family: Still fighting for truth and justice

The Bourguignon family knew there were more than 700 families in France who also had daughters suffering from serious new medical conditions after the administration of Gardasil (source: Agence Nationale Sécurité Médicament in France), but believed the health authorities hid it and minimized it with the complicity of the laboratories.

Faced with this injustice, they decided to mediate the case. In November 2013, their attorney, Mr. Coubris, filed a criminal complaint against Sanofi Pasteur and the French Medicines Agency on behalf of their family and 50 other families like theirs.

In November 2015, they discovered this complaint had been buried by the Paris public prosecutor’s office who stated there was no direct link between Gardasil and the pathologies of the nervous system experienced by the girls represented in Mr. Coubris’ complaint. This was done without consulting any of the 50 families who had joined the Bourguignon family in their criminal complaint.

None of the families involved could believe the accountability of the vaccine had been established and the case closed without their knowledge or an opportunity to be heard.

Attorney Coubris immediately filed an appeal and the families decided to also file a civil proceeding with the Dean of Investigating Judges in Paris. They want the truth about this vaccine to be made public. The families have vowed to fight to the end. They will accept nothing less than completely honest and open scientific debates. To accomplish this they have enlisted the assistance of several independent associations to help facilitate symposiums on the subject within the medical/scientific community regardless of what the courts decide.

Today, Marie–Océane is still fighting to rebuild her life. At 20, she could not pursue her chosen career in architecture. At 22 years old, she passed a pastry chef’s CAP and wants to create her own business selling artisan pastries and local products. Her parents hope she has her future in front of her, but they realize it’s not going to be easy.

She is still young, despite losing her teenage years. She will always be chronically ill and unable to work for a boss. In order to have a future, Marie will have to be her own boss so she can work at her own pace. Her parents will be behind her to help.

The Bourguignon family continues to fight not only for their daughter but for all the other French families who are still suffering. They fight for the parents who have lost their children. They fight to help French families obtain justice for the sacrifices they have had to make simply because they trusted their doctors’ advice.

Information on the ongoing legal battle:

No family should have to experience this

After a judgment in our favor on the Crci de Bordeaux and an imputability following the Gardasil, we filed a criminal complaint on the Paris court against Sanofi and the drug agency with the help of master Coubris de Bordeaux, in November 2013.

This procedure was followed by about 50 families and complaints.

After two years, without investigation, because the families were not even auditioned, a prosecutor of the health pole of Paris closed the file.

We then re-lodged a new criminal complaint through the senior judge to benefit from an investigation and a judge of instruction nome.

We were summoned only once by this judge in Paris. We feel that nobody wants to open this folder and this Pandora’s Box.

In February 2018 a new complaint was filed, this time to the civil court Dax asking for damages from the laboratory Sanofi.

This complaint is still under investigation. We are waiting for a convocation with the judge of Dax.

This last issue is based on the two expert witness reports we had in 2012 and 2012 on the Bordeaux CrC case.

    As a parent of a Gardasil injured daughter who was disabled and suffered for years, I’ve heard a lot of HPV vaccine injury and death stories. All I can say is WOW to this incredibly supportive and determined family. I also want to say THANK YOU for fighting for the truth for all of our kids. The death and destruction of our children from HPV vaccines is criminal. I wish that those responsible for killing and maiming our children were behind bars. How preposterous that a Judge attributed 50% of Marie–Océane injury on the family genetics. It is impossible today to find a family that does not have a medical history of some sort of autoimmune disease (diabetes is a autoimmune disease) in the family yet HPV vaccines are touted as “safe and effective” for all. To the family of Marie–Océane, I pray for the vindication that you seek from the Court. I also want to say, please do not give up on searching for a cure for your daughter. The majority of mainstream medicine is not capable for diagnosing or treating a vaccine injury. I found out the hard way that the path to my daughter’s recovery was to find someone who can identify and address the root causes of my daughter’s chronic illness and pain and peel off the illness layer by layer. Today, Kate is close to fully recovered and has maintained good health since July 2015 (after being disabled since March 2012). She is going to college and has plans to be a doctor so that she can help those suffering like our HPV vaccine injured kids. Your daughter is beautiful, amazing, strong and determined. Thank you for sharing your story and fighting for all of the families of HPV vaccine injured and dead!

          Hello Helen,

          Our family is from the United States and we did share our daughter’s HPV vaccine injury story (link to her story below). I agree with you that we all need to speak out and share the stories of our HPV vaccine injured and dead to spread awareness of the dangers of this vaccine.

        Prayers and blessings for your daughter and all who have been subjected to such continued pharmaceutical malfeasance. Sir, Type 1 diabetes is autoimmune disease. Type 2 is not and is actually reversible by clearing the lipids/fats from the liver— usually by fasting for 3 days, then consuming apple cider vinegar. The original judge in Marie’s case was not adequately informed—not that her condition should have been blamed on genetics.

    I am very sorry indeed about what’s been happening to your daughter and your family. But,

    > encephalomyelitis

    When will people realize that we have been lied to all along??
    We never heard any of these weird names for symptoms that was created SIMPLY BECAUSE we were POISONED!! ‘Auto-immune disease’?? That’s just a name to HIDE THEIR HORRIFIC CRIMES.

    Please know what’s been really happening in our world.
    http://aus911truth.blogspot.com/2018/04/must-watchlisten-lecture-video-of-dr.html

    Also, don’t think of symptoms are your enemy because symptoms are the sign that your body is fighting back to fix the problem. Obviously, there are horrific symptoms almost impossible to bear, but that’s telling you that you got seriously evil poison into your body. You’ve got to find a way to minimize the pain etc. unpleasant symptoms but got to get rid of what they sold you.

    > Marie-Océane will live with this condition for the rest of her life. There is no known cure.

    Never believe that crap.
    If you do, it’s like you didn’t learn anything from your ‘mistake’ of trusting your doctor to give your daughter/s this cocktail of poison called Gardasil or Cervarix.

    There are many people, for example in Japan, who were told they/their children will never get better and they’d have to live with whatever disability or illness for the rest of their lives, but they CURED THEM BY THEMSELVES. Going back to doctors of the Modern Medicine will NOT help because they ignore the real cause but only focus on suppressing symptoms by selling poison.

    Many HPVV victims who listened to me got better or well.
    It’s really simple.

    You’ve got to DETOX because you were POISONED.
    It might take some years for some because they might have to DETOX all the medications they bought on top of this cocktail of poison, HPVV.

    > underlying genetic susceptibility

    Oh really?
    Just another EXCUSE so that those criminals can get away with the crime they commit!!

    > Gardasil was 50% responsible

    Just another LIE.
    If Marie–Océane didn’t get Gardasil, none of this happened.
    Therefore, Gardasil IS 100% responsible.
    Criminals WON’T admit their crime.
    And you’re giving them the power and authority

    You need to realize they LIED from Day One.
    Look for the chart I uploaded on my blog several times that shows WHOPPING 99.85% of people who got infected with SO-CALLED ‘carcinogenic HPV’ GET RID OF IT and don’t get that cancer at all!! That’s WHO’s chart and that means this HPV IS NOT THE CAUSE of cervical cancer, and when the majority get rid of it with their IMMUNE SYSTEM without any medicine or treatment, there is NO NEED TO BUY this cocktail of poison!!

    You’ll understand why they say that if you check my blog, especially the article titled:
    Governments are Companies.
    They are ALL LIARS, just pretending to be authorities and performing a drama.
    Therefore,

    > take their case to a traditional criminal court

    I praise your courage but that won’t do any good most likely, because they are all COMPANIES and deceiving us all. Oh, see?

    > this complaint had been buried

    Criminals will never punish themselves.

    > They wanted the opportunity to make the public aware

    Only if there’s any DECENT media left to report it BIG…
    Was there? And I repeat,

    > She will always be chronically ill

    Don’t believe that.
    Who told you that?
    Doctors, right?
    And they are the ones who sold this cocktail of poison to your daughter and so many other girls and women, plus boys to kill and injure while making profit!!

    > They fight to help French families obtain justice

    Unless we get rid of all our traitors by sending them to prison, and STOP giving them our power, we will never have justice in so many countries of ours. When we stopped dealing of our own issues by ourselves but relying on somebody else, such as doctors and/or politicians, we got used and abused.

    Better look back and check our horrible history of being gullible and way too trusting.
    And see the COMPANY SEARCH RESULTS page of the Company called
    “GOVERNMENT DE FRANCE’ on Dun & Bradstreet on this page:

    I thank God every day that I refused that vaccine to my daughters. But how many will dare to refuse it if made mandatory.

    Time to wake up and reclaim our rights.

    Het is helaas niet alleen de HPV vaccinatie .

    Deze hele vaccinindustrie speelt onder een hoedje met RIVM en GGD . De rommel moet gewoon verkocht worden . Neem nog even de laatste griepvaccinatie in gedachte (2017) volkomen zinloos . Nog nooit aangetoonddat dit werkt .
