Dr. Diane Harper, lead researcher in
the development of two human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and
Cervarix, said the controversial drugs will do little to reduce cervical
cancer rates and, even though they’re being recommended for girls as
young as nine, there have been no efficacy trials in children under the
age of 15. Dr. Harper, director of the Gynecologic Cancer Prevention
Research Group at the University of Missouri, made these remarks during
an address at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination
which took place in Reston, Virginia on Oct. 2-4. Although her talk was
intended to promote the vaccine, participants said they came away
convinced the vaccine should not be received.

A 12-year-old girl has become paralysed from the waist down after being injected with the cervical cancer vaccine, Cervarix.
Schoolgirl, 12, paralysed after receiving cervical cancer jab
article in the Sunday Telegraph
Extract:
"Ashleigh Cave suffered headaches and dizziness minutes after receiving the injection, and has spent the last eight weeks in hospital having lost the strength in her legs.
Her mother Cheryl believes that her daughter's mystery illness is directly related to the vaccine, which is being administered to 300,000 12 and 13 year old girls in Britain in an effort to cut down on rates of the fatal disease.
Several girls in the US have been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, which can cause paralysis, after being vaccinated by a similar product, Gardasil.
But doctors have ruled that Ashleigh's condition is not connected to the vaccination, and health experts have insisted that the vaccine is safe.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, the government agency responsible for monitoring drugs, said: "Guillain-Barré syndrome naturally occurs in the population. There is no good evidence to suggest that the Cervarix vaccine can cause [it].""
Well I wouldn't believe a word the drug monitoring agency says on this matter, because so many of its members are in the pockets of drug companies...)o: - More detail here:

The cervical cancer vaccine, Gardasil, has been linked to many cases of serious adverse reactions, including several deaths.
Cervical cancer drug Gardasil linked to deaths
Extract from Telegraph article:
"Fears have been raised over the safety of a cervical cancer vaccine which health officials plan to give all 12-year-old girls, after it was revealed that the drug has been linked to several deaths.
Three young women are reported to have died days after the drug Gardasil was administered, while the jab is also suspected of triggering "adverse reactions" in 1,700 patients. The figures were uncovered by campaigners who made a freedom of information request in the US, where the vaccine was approved for use a year ago.
Tom Fitton, the president of Judicial Watch, which extracted the data, said: "Reports on the vaccine read like a catalogue of horrors."
The women – aged 12, 19 and 22 – suffered heart attacks or blood clots after being injected with Gardasil, which protects against the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus which causes most cases of cervical cancer. Hundreds of others reported suffering what could be adverse reactions, including paralysis, seizures and miscarriages.The news comes just days after the announcement that the drug would be added to the childhood immunisation programme."
