Thanks to an observant reader of the blog, who sent me this link, a fourth "mysterious" death has come to light. There is a new term for these deaths. They are being called Sudden Adult Death Syndrome". So there you go. What this means is you shouldn't be surprised when a "child" of any age, dies in their sleep Read Full Blog

We've all heard how wonderfully safe Gardasil is. The many trials that were done, and blended into one. The literature brims with glowing recommendations, with only a few inconsiderate pesky naysayers getting in the way of the the vaccine publicity machine. Read Full Blog

The likely response from the Ministry of Health will be mathematical platitudes to the tune of lots of cervical cancer prevented; X percentage of adolescents have received (the first shot of) Gardasil, and X number of doses have been given, blah blah blah. But that’s a sop, and not nearly good enough. We’ve heard it all before, and we know it’s not what parents see.  Read Full Blog

Jasmine was a very healthy girl, with no history of any health issues at all. After her first Gardasil vaccine (NJ02260) on 18th September, Jasmine broke out with warts on her hands, and her skin and moods changed. The warts were burned off of the 20th October, and didn’t come back. After the second vaccine (NJ11440) on 18th November , her moods were worse, and the warts were back within two weeks and were burned off on the 28th January. After Jasmine’s third vaccine (NJ11440) on 17th March, like clockwork, within two weeks, the warts were back, like clockwork, for yet a third time. Read Full Blog

Stevie had a history of being born premature, tonsils and appendix out; left alternating extropia, (which got worse after Gardasil); allergy to citrus, and like her brother, didn’t handle the babyhood vaccines easily. She spiked high temperatures and cried a lot. Stevie also has an anti-trypsin MZ type deficiency, which meant that she was often prescribed antibiotics early in infections or they would become very bad. Read Full Blog

Ever heard of something called “challenge”, “dechallenge” … “rechallenge” (CDR)? It goes like this. Give a person like me, antibiotics (challenge), and the body happens to go nuts. Big rash (urticaria). But as a doc you aren’t sure, so you stop the drug for a while (dechallenge), and then give it again (rechallenge). Result = Big rash, face and neck swells and I can't breath. The rechallenge proved that the antibiotic was causing the reaction. The same principle applies to all drugs, foods, whatever. It could be called “immunology 101” Real basic. Or you would think, right?  Read Full Blog

New uber expensive cancer drugs like Taxol, Tarceva (the price was increased because it worked better than expected) Avastin, (at a cost of $100,000 for a year in 2006) , and Herceptin (costing $NZ100.000 for a year in 2007), have one thing in common with Gardasil.  Read Full Blog

Yes, Mark we were waiting for the first utterance from vaccine defenders.   Read Full Blog

In October 2009, Dr Diana Harper, the lead researcher in the development of both Gardasil and Cervarix, addressed a conference intended to promote vaccines . (Just in case it disappears, I've pdf'd it here.)  Instead, the data she presented, left the doctors in the audience, wondering why HPV vaccines were used in developed countries at all.  Read Full Blog

Jasmine is not alone. But her mother is the first who has decided to go public with all her information.  Read Full Blog
