TODAY'S BREAKING NEWS ALERT:
"MEDICAL ETHICS JOURNAL CONDEMNS COVER-UP OF HPV VACCINE ADVERSE REACTIONS"
BY HEALTH IMPACT NEWS EDITOR

"Once again, we must turn to sources outside the U.S. to get an honest perspective on the Gardasil HPV vaccine controversy. One doctor who formerly worked for the vaccine manufacturer Merck predicted that Gardasil would become “the greatest medical scandal of all time.”
You won’t read any of this in the U.S. corporate-sponsored “mainstream” media, however. The only view allowed is that there is no controversy regarding the HPV vaccine, and any journalist that dares to question this view will be viciously attacked and probably lose their career.
A recently published article in the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics highlights the medical ethics that were violated in bringing this vaccine to market. As a result, many young people today are being permanently disabled or even dying from the adverse reactions to this vaccine."
"Dr. Dalbergue, a former pharmaceutical industry physician with Gardasil manufacturer Merck, was interviewed in the April 2014 issue of the French magazine Principes de Santé (Health Principles).
Excerpts:
The full extent of the Gardasil scandal needs to be assessed: everyone knew when this vaccine was released on the American market that it would prove to be worthless! Diane Harper, a major opinion leader in the United States, was one of the first to blow the whistle, pointing out the fraud and scam of it all.
Gardasil is useless and costs a fortune! In addition, decision-makers at all levels are aware of it!
Cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome, paralysis of the lower limbs, vaccine-induced MS and vaccine-induced encephalitis can be found, whatever the vaccine.
I predict that Gardasil will become the greatest medical scandal of all times because at some point in time, the evidence will add up to prove that this vaccine, technical and scientific feat that it may be, has absolutely no effect on cervical cancer and that all the very many adverse effects which destroy lives and even kill, serve no other purpose than to generate profit for the manufacturers.
There is far too much financial interest for these medicines to be withdrawn.
As we have reported in many previous articles here at Health Impact News, the HPV vaccine has become a huge international controversy, while enjoying widespread mainstream media and medical acceptance here in the United States. Any mainstream media reporter who dares to report on the controversy surrounding Gardasil faces ridicule and a potential loss of their career. (Just ask Katie Couric.)"
"Popular news broadcaster, Katie Couric, interviewed the mother of a young lady who died after receiving the Gardasil vaccine, as well as one of the lead doctors who conducted clinical trials for Merck, on her day-time talk show, Wednesday, December 4th. She also interviewed another mother and daughter who have been affected by the vaccine. (Videos below)
That a major network allowed something negative about vaccines to be aired is quite rare. If you visit the Katie Couric website to read about the show, however, you will find nothing in print that is negative regarding the Gardasil vaccine, but instead you will find an article by a physician recommending the vaccine, as well as links to the CDC, which of course, is pro-vaccine. Even when you watch the videos below, you will see pop-up messages from social media by people supposedly stating they received the vaccine and nothing bad happened to them.
The issues communicated in the show regarding the Gardasil vaccine, which are readily available online and not new, are probably less significant than how the mainstream media responded to the show. Attacks on Katie Couric for talking to a parent of a child who died from vaccine injuries, and a physician who was involved in bringing the vaccine to market, clearly show the mainstream media bias and censorship that still exists regarding vaccines.
Alexandra Sifferlin, writing for Time Magazine, was one of the first to publish a hit piece: Is Katie Couric The Next Jenny McCarthy? A former Playboy Bunny spreading misinformation is bad enough.
Here are some excerpts from this Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism graduate:
There is no “HPV Vaccine Controversy.” At least, not when it comes to the injection’s safety. And yet, that was the title of the lead segment on Katie Couric’s daytime talk show, “Katie,” this afternoon.
The bottom line is that there is no scientific evidence that the HPV vaccine causes adverse effects beyond normal vaccine side effects, such as dizziness, nausea, and pain and redness at the injection site.
The damage a former Playboy Bunny has been able to do is bad enough. But Couric’s misdeeds are all the worse given that she’s taken much more seriously than Jenny McCarthy.
Sifferlin’s treatment of the subject is very typical of mainstream media’s coverage of vaccines. The rules of investigative journalism do not apply. For them, it is a closed issue: vaccines are proven to be safe and effective by science, and to suggest otherwise puts one on par with a mass murder.
And that’s almost exactly how Michael Hiltzik of the LA Times described it, taking some time off from defending Obamacare and getting in his hit piece: Katie Couric puts the anti-vaccination movement into the mainstream
The anti-vaccination movement has long since become a public menace. It’s responsible for the resurgence of numerous serious diseases that were on the decline, including measles, mumps, and whooping cough.
Now the movement has been given a big booster shot by Katie Couric, who devoted a large portion of her daily talk show Wednesday to some highly emotional and scientifically dubious claims by critics of Gardasil, a leading vaccine for human papillomavirus, or HPV.
Again, Hiltzik perfectly exemplifies the media bias towards vaccines and that the investigative principles of journalism do not apply:
To be fair, Couric announced at the outset of the segment that she’d had her own two daughters immunized against HPV. The segment also featured a pediatric expert advising that the HPV vaccine is the best tool we have for the early prevention of HPV infection and therefore for safeguarding against its possible consequences, which include cervical cancer in women and other cancers in men.
But those portions of the show had the flavor of “balance,” presented to stave off accusations of pandering to ignorance. The real punch of the show was its portrayal of HPV vaccination as “controversial.” Couric led the segment off by declaring that “some people say the risk (of the vaccine) may outweigh the benefits, and there are claims that it could be dangerous or in a handful of cases, even deadly….We want to keep our kids safe, but is the vaccine the way to go?” Merely to ask the questions is to validate them. (Emphasis added).
Did you catch that last sentence: “Merely to ask the questions is to validate them.” The topic of vaccines is exempt from regular investigative journalism, and if you ask the wrong questions, expect to be attacked just for asking the question. The public does not deserve such information – journalists know better.
So Katie Couric gets attacked for “asking the wrong questions.” Can you imagine what would have happened if she had truly reported the facts regarding Gardasil that are so readily available in countries outside of the U.S., or in the alternative media on the Internet? It is still very unlikely that her network producers would have allowed such basic facts as these to be broadcast:
How about the fact that Julie Gerberding was in charge of the CDC from 2002 to 2009, which includes the years the FDA approved Gardasil as a vaccine, and then resigned from the CDC on January 20, 2009, and is now the president of Merck’s Vaccine division?
How about the fact that the U.S. government makes royalties from the HPV vaccines? In November 2010, Dr. Eric Suba submitted a Freedom of Information Request to the Office of Government Information Services to discover the amount of money the U.S government earns from Merck’s sale of Gardasil. But apparently the government is immune from revealing those figures, as you can read for yourself the response Dr. Suba received here.
No, the mainstream media is not upset at Katie Couric for covering those facts, because she didn’t. They’re just upset that she asked the wrong questions.
U.S. law prevents anyone from suing Merck or any other vaccine manufacturer as the U.S. Congress gave them total immunity from civil lawsuits in 1986, and that legal protection which gives them a free pass to put as many vaccines into the market as they want to, was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011. In addition, the National Institute of Health receives royalties from the sales of Gardasil. So don’t expect objective, true information from the U.S. mainstream media, or your U.S. doctor.
But Merck does not have the same legal protection outside the U.S., and it is here we must find information regarding lawsuits over injuries and deaths related to Gardasil."
