United Kingdom

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) was set up in April 2003 from a merger of the Medicines Control Agency and the Medical Devices Agency. The MHRA is the government agency which is responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices work, and are acceptably safe. The MHRA is an executive agency of the Department of Health.

What are Black Triangle drugs (▼)?
When medicines come onto the market, we have relatively limited information about their safety from clinical trials in the UK. These trials generally involve only small numbers of eligible patients who take the medicine for a relatively short period of time. Therefore, patients in clinical trials may not be fully representative of those who will use the medicine when it is marketed.

Research claims published in medical journals can turn out to be exaggerated, misleading and wrong.

I USUALLY avoid reading health supplements in newspapers as they are full of contradictory guff and puff about what is supposed to be good or bad for you.

The puff emanates from drug companies exaggerating the supposed benefits of their products and the guff from PR companies promoting cosmetics or “food as medicine” style products. Governments and health agencies get in on the act too and over-emphasise certain research results to promote public health.

Because the realities of the shot have been so difficult to uncover by many, it has been difficult for many concerned parents to find the answers they are looking for. Dr. Diane Harper, a lead researcher in the development of both the Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines presented some pretty up-front and honest facts about the shot in October at the International Conference on Vaccination–shocking the medical world and leaving many believing that these vaccines are not as safe as they thought.
