[SaneVax: Scientists and medical professionals the world over are beginning to question and investigate current vaccination practices and paradigms. The following is an excerpt from a letter to the editor of The Journal of Internal Medicine, questioning the findings of a ‘study’ funded by the manufacturer of Gardasil. Medical consumers the world over need to begin asking the same questions of their medical providers.]
No autoimmune safety signal after vaccination with quadrivalent HPV vaccine Gardasil?
L. Tomljenovic1, C. A. Shaw1,2,3 Article first published online: 24 MAY 2012 DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2796.2012.02551.x © 2012 The Association for the Publication of the Journal of Internal MedicineDear sir,
Recently, the Journal of Internal Medicine published a study by Chao et al. [1] on autoimmune conditions following the routine use of Gardasil, which failed to identify any significant autoimmune safety concerns. This study was conducted in collaboration between two managed care organizations, Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) and Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC), as a postlicensure commitment to the FDA, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and other regulatory authorities to help evaluate the autoimmune safety of the vaccine. In particular, Chao et al. [1] noted that ‘well-designed postlicensure safety studies for newly approved vaccines facilitate proper evaluation of their autoimmune safety’ [emphasis added]. We certainly do agree with the authors that such studies are needed for determining whether or not new vaccines have adequate safety profiles. The study population for the autoimmune surveillance by the Kaiser’s research team thus included 189,629 women of diverse ethnical and socio-economic background, 99% of whom were in the recommended age range for HPV vaccination (9–26 years) [1]. Nonetheless, two potential biases might have influenced the outcome of the safety analysis conducted by the authors.
I don’t need any studies to know that vaccinations of any kind are worthless and bad news. Spending money on studies is just a way of throwing good money after bad, If everyone realised that vaccination campaign are in fact biochemical warfare programmes disguised as disease prevention, this ugly and brutal racket would collapse.
This study is so scandalously unprofessional, misleading and riddled with such gigantic conflicts of interest that it may be questioned whether it borders on criminality.
The study is obviously designed to convince doctors about Gardasil safety – which they ought to realise from the thousands of signals pouring in from many reliable sources – is a contradiction in terms. They surely should also realise that the short list of autoimmune conditions which have been investigated are cherry picked from the enormous number which actually exist.
Medscape gave away this as a Continuing Medical Education (CME) online course for physicians. The manipulated rubbish which is systematically fed to doctors is incredible. There appears to be both a general lack of competence and lack of willingness on several levels in seriously evaluating the credibility of research publications. This applies to editors of medical journals, individual academics, etc.
It is obviously an advantage for doctors to comfortably collect easily earned credits in these so called continuing medical education (CME) courses.
To do this all that is required is to answer two multiple choice questions (the “hoped for” answers were printed above them).
One question involved ticking the statement that the vaccine contains products of HPV types 6,11,16 and 18.
The other involved ticking the statement that the vaccine does not appear to promote any incident autoimmune diseases.
There were some voluntary questions where one could agree to statements such as that the study assists in improvement of my competence, performance, etc.
Bingo – I attained 0.25 credits and a Medscape certificate for participation in the material titled:
“Rate of Autoimmune Conditions Not Increased with HPV4 Use”.
