Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome is a rare chorioretinopathy causing transitory vision loss, usually in females and generally in one eye. In 2007, widespread vaccination of older children against human papilloma virus and meningococcus was recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A 17-year-old girl presented with multiple evanescent white dot syndrome 1 month after receiving these two vaccinations. [J PediatrOphthalmol Strabismus 200X;XX:XX-XX.]

THE leading researcher in the development of the cervical cancer vaccine, Gardasil, has called it a “public health experiment” and has warned that parents must be made aware of the serious adverse events associated with its use.

The vaccination programme is set to be rolled out here next month, targeting first- and second-year secondary school students.

However, Dr Diane Harper, who carried out safety studies to get Gardasil approved, warned of “serious adverse events including death” associated with it.

In times long since gone, any pharmaceutical product used to be tested for safety, with one group of people using the drug and another group, the “control” group, using a placebo.

A placebo, in the context of a drug trial, was represented by an “inert” substance; something which had absolutely no impact on any biochemical, immunological or other measurable function in the body. In this way, the studies used to compare any adverse biological “effect” of the drug against the effect of nothing.
