Cervarix – Armed for life? United Kingdom says ‘NO’ as they battle false advertising

By 3 Comments

31 August 2010, France banned advertising Gardasil as an anti-cancer vaccine in their country. Activists from the United Kingdom are battling the same problem with the advertising campaign for GlaxoSmithKline’s HPV vaccine, Cervarix.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Jan 06, 2011 – It appears false marketing claims are not limited to a single manufacturer and/or distributor of HPV vaccines.

2 February 2010, investigative journalist, Christina England, wrote an article entitled, “Cervarix HPV vaccine adverts are untrue and should be banned.” At the time, she was talking about advertisements plastered on the sides of buses used for transportation along every school route in West Sussex and the route to a local hospital. The advertisements proclaiming Cervarix would ensure you were ‘armed for life’ against cervical cancer were also posted inside the buses and on bathroom doors in local cinemas.

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.

At the end of the two-day hearing to evaluate the safety of amalgam, FDA’s own scientific panel – including neurologists, toxicologists, epidemiologists, and environmental health specialists – told the agency to stop amalgam use in children, pregnant women, and hypersensitive populations.

After reviewing the available scientific studies and the presentations of researchers, experts, dentists, and injured consumers, the scientists concluded that – contrary to the claims of FDA’s in-house dentist Susan Runner – amalgam is not safe for everybody. According to the panel, FDA’s amalgam risk assessments were not adequate to protect hypersensitive adults, children, and unborn babies. Repeatedly, panel members expressed their concern about amalgam use in children. Pediatric neurologist Dr. Suresh Kotagal of the Mayo Clinic summed it up for the entire panel: “There is really no place for mercury in children.” Other panelists went on to explain that dental mercury is like lead. The panel urged FDA to quickly contraindicate amalgam for these vulnerable populations and insisted that FDA provide consumers with labeling containing clear warnings.

By, now if have read any news related to the Gardasil vaccine, you should be beginning to understand the true dangers associated with the vaccine and its sugar-coated advertising by Merck. 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.

It is unfortunate–no it is simply tragic to believe everything that is read. For many people, they believe what is publicized by the medical community to be nearly a gospel–and follow many medical representatives recommendations to a T. When Gardasil was released to the market in 2006, it was advertised as an essential vaccination that every parent should get for their little girl so that she could be “one less” young lady with cervical cancer. But as problems arose and questions were raised about the side effects and safety of the vaccine there was a lot of silence–from both Merck and the FDA on the issues raised. Claims of illnesses like Guillain Barre Syndrome, seizures, comas and even death began to surface and no one could find any “responsible party” who was willing to acknowledge or help with the claims. As a result, individual vaccination-rights groups began to look into the issues and many interesting facts have arose as a result. In a recent press release from the group SANE Vax, flaws in Merck’s recent data surrounding the approval of Gardasil for boys brings up some highly valid points that bear looking into.
