Merck, Re: Gardasil - "Safer Than Most Vaccines"

Really?????



If you watch the entire clip above, you will see where Merck (manufacturer of the Gardasil vaccine) and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) are quoted as stating Gardasil "appears safer than most vaccines."

Really? Seriously?

I wonder if these idiots understand how much more they are implicating themselves simply by attempting to defend their position and their (Merck's) product. Because here's what I'm thinking....

Besides Gardasil, Merck also manufactures several other vaccines, including a few different vaccines for Hepatitis A and B and their MMR vaccines, which are some of the world's most widely distributed vaccines. So when Merck states their Gardasil vaccine is "safer than most vaccines" are they also stating that the Gardasil vax is safer than their own vaccines meant to prevent diseases other than HPV?

And who wants a vaccine that is "safer than most vaccines?" I want vaccines that are safe. Period. However, since such a thing does not exist that is safe for everyone, quit trying to defend yourself, Merck. Admit that you could possibly be at fault in vaccine injuries.

Oh wait, you already admitted it. You did it when you said your Gardasil vaccine is "safer than most vaccines."

(Thank you, You-know-who, for posting this to your facebook page!)

I love that now they are trying to get it approved for boys. Yeah, my boys will NEVER get that or probably any other shot. I haven't done any since the regressions and they still carry high titers to most diseases.

As far as Gardasil, one must only read the Daily Mail to see multiple reactions/deaths in British school girls. Apparently over there they vaccinate most of the girls during school.

Thanks Merck, but I will pass on your vaccine!
