The Risks and Benefits of HPV Vaccination
Charlotte Haug, MD, PhD, MSc
Journal of American Medicine (JAMA). 2009;302(7):795-796.
When do physicians know enough about the beneficial effects of a new medical intervention to start recommending or using it? When is the available information about harmful adverse effects sufficient to conclude that the risks outweigh the potential benefits? If in doubt, should physicians err on the side of caution or on the side of hope? These questions are at the core of all medical decision making. It is a complicated process because medical knowledge is typically incomplete and ambiguous. It is especially complex to make decisions about whether to use drugs that may prevent disease in the future, particularly when these drugs are given to otherwise healthy individuals. Vaccines are examples of such drugs, and the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a case in point.

Half of Kids Given Flu Drug Have Side Effects

August 22, 2009
More than half of children taking the swine flu drug Tamiflu experience side effects such as nausea and nightmares. Studies of 103 children showed that 51 to 53 percent had one or more side effects from the medication. The most common side effect was nausea (29 percent), followed by stomach pain or cramps (20 percent) and problems sleeping (12 percent). Almost one in five had a "neuropsychiatric side effect," such as inability to think clearly, nightmares and "behaving strangely."

Squalene: The Swine Flu Vaccine’s Dirty Little Secret Exposed
Joseph Mercola, DO [medical doctor]
According to Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, your children should be the first target for mass swine flu vaccinations when school starts this fall.[i] This is a ridiculous assumption for many reasons, not to mention extremely high risk. In Australia, where the winter season has begun, Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon is reassuring parents the swine flu is no more dangerous than regular seasonal flu. "Most people, including children, will experience very mild symptoms and recover without any medical intervention," she said.[ii] Sydney-based immunization specialist Robert Booy predicts swine flu might be fatal to about twice as many children in the coming year as regular influenza. Booy estimates 10-12 children could die from the H1N1 virus, compared with the five or six regular flu deaths seen among children in an average year in Australia.[iii]

Swine Flu Vaccine Makers to Profit $50 Billion a Year
Joseph Mercola, DO
GlaxoSmithKline is preparing to sell billions worth of swine flu drugs this year. Their swine flu vaccine will be available by September, and international governments are already stockpiling large supplies of GSK's anti-viral treatment Relenza. Worldwide sales from the two drugs are expected to be enormous, but the company rejected claims it was exploiting the pandemic. GlaxoSmithKline has also developed an anti-viral face mask, which is expected to be used by people such as "front line health workers."

Proof That Thimerosal Induces Autism-like Neurotoxicity
Joseph Mercola, DO
August 6, 2009
A new scientific study proves that the mercury-based compound used as vaccine preservative -- known as ‘thimerosal’ -- induces neural damage similar to that seen in autism patients. According to the study, thimerosal-induced cellular damage caused concentration- and time-dependent mitochondrial damage, reduced oxidative-reduction activity, cellular degeneration, and cell death. Thimerosal at low concentrations induced significant cellular toxicity in human neuronal and fetal cells. Thimerosal was found to be significantly more toxic than the other metal compounds examined.

Swine Flu is NOT the Problem -- It is the Vaccine that May Harm or Kill You
Joseph Mercola, DO
August 11, 2009
You’ve probably noticed the escalating hype and hysteria surrounding the swine flu pandemic as colder months approach and the number of worldwide cases climbs. It’s true the virus is spreading.
Much more important, however, is the fact that reported cases continue to be symptomatically mild, requiring little or no medical intervention. And deaths from the H1N1 virus remain extremely low, at less than one half of one percent of reported cases as of July 6.[1]
