One more sad story that confirms again that something is wrong with our vaccine delivery protocols. There is likely nothing wrong with the agents themselves as no commonality exists across platforms. That at least is something.
Evidence to date suggests though that the actual carriers are the source of the problem. Inasmuch as the pathological evidence shows cellular layer damage in the brain in minute amounts, i suspect we are dealing with allergic lesions that clear up soon enough but leave damage behind.
That evidence of this has been statistically apparent from the beginning is also known and represents a hidden cost to society..
Gardasil: The Decision We Will Always Regret
By all accounts, our daughter was normal before receiving the HPV vaccine. Katie performed very well in school.

She
was conscientious, hard-working and took pride in getting good grades.
She loved dancing having taken dance classes since she was 3 years old.
Katie always danced and twirled throughout our home and anywhere else
she happened to be.
When Katie was 10, she joined cheerleading
and became involved in competition cheerleading. She was very active,
taking four hours of dance class every week plus spending many more
hours practicing with her competition cheer team. Katie was healthy and
vibrant.
Gardasil victims in Danemark
We were very diligent with our children's health. We
never missed an annual check-up and we also followed the pediatrician's
recommended vaccine schedule including annual flu shots. Our
pediatrician recommended the Gardasil vaccine.
The Gardasil
vaccine was heavily advertised on TV. We read the vaccine Disclosure. It
said that the vaccine should not be given to those with HIV. Katie did
not have HIV so we signed the Consent.
On September 2, 2010 at
the age of 11, Katie received the first Gardasil vaccine. Katie's first
day of middle school was September 7, 2010.
Initially, we
believed that her fatigue and headaches were being caused by having to
get up much earlier in the morning for middle school.
However, she never adjusted to the new schedule and soon her symptoms began exploding. Katie would often tell us "I don't know what's wrong, I just don't feel good."
She
began sleeping a lot — over 12 hours a day and even more on the
weekends, which would allow her gather enough energy to go to school a
few days before she crashed again.
She missed days at school,
dance lessons and cheer practices. Soon her illness was visible on the
outside too. Katie didn't look good — constant dark circles under her
eyes, her skin color was ashen and she appeared listless.
To us,
it seemed that her symptoms must be related to the Gardasil vaccine.
Katie's earliest symptoms began after receiving this vaccine. We
searched the internet but only found vague information — nothing that
matched our daughter's symptoms.
We asked Katie's pediatrician
and other specialists if the Gardasil vaccine could be related to her
symptoms but our inquiries were quickly dismissed as not having any
correlation to her illness.
Katie's earliest symptoms were a
constant headache or migraine that did not respond to pain relievers,
stabbing 24/7 bilateral ear pain, fatigue not relieved by sleep,
abdominal pain, nausea and joint pain. We called and visited her
pediatrician repeatedly.
We began taking Katie to specialists
including Neurologists, ENT's, GI, and an OBGYN and made several visits
to the Emergency Room. Katie also received many blood tests, CAT scans
and an MRI.
Nothing any of the doctors did relieved Katie's
symptoms. As a matter of fact, the drugs prescribed to alleviate her
symptoms only made her feel worse.
Our pediatrician and other
doctors involved with Katie's care began suggesting that her illness was
psychosomatic and recommended that we take her to a psychologist. We
soon found that we were on our own, dealing with a medical issue we did
not understand but trying desperately to help our daughter.
When
searching the internet with Katie's symptoms, Lyme disease would always
come up as the search result. In addition to asking all of Katie's
doctors if the Gardasil vaccine was the cause of Katie's illness, we
also began asking if Lyme disease could be the culprit.
In
October 2010, Katie was first tested for Lyme disease. The results were
negative as were two later rounds of testing. We read on the internet
that ELISA and Western Blot tests for Lyme disease are unreliable and
that many people who actually had Lyme disease tested negative.
Since
this information is all over the internet, we thought it was common
knowledge to doctors as well. Instead, we were emphatically told by
doctor after doctor that this was not true, that the testing for Lyme
disease is highly reliable and that there was no way Katie had Lyme
disease.
In April 2011, Katie could no longer go to school or
participate in dance or cheerleading — the pain and fatigue was all
consuming. Nothing any of the doctors did provided any relief yet every
doctor refused to consider Lyme disease or that the Gardasil vaccine was
related to her illness.
Katie's list of symptoms included the following:
- 24/7 headaches and migraines,
- 24/7 stabbing ear pain,
- hyperacusis,
- fatigue,
- abdominal pain,
- nausea,
- all over joint pain,
- constant sore throat,
- visual disturbances,
- light sensitivity,
- cognitive issues such as memory and severe comprehension problems,
- random numbness and tingling,
- weird "bug crawling" skin sensations,
- generalized weakness throughout her body (it was difficult for Katie to just sit in the shower to bathe),
- dizziness,
- fainting and heart palpitations.
She slept long hours and stayed in her bedroom shielding herself from the noise of everyday living.
In
May, we requested testing through a lab specializing in tick-borne
disease testing. Katie's pediatrician reluctantly signed the lab
Requisition Form.
This time the test results showed that Katie
was highly positive for Bartonella Henselae, a tick-borne disease also
known as a co-infection to Lyme disease.
She was also highly
positive for Mycoplasma Pneumonia and the testing showed that her immune
system was struggling. Katie's Western Blot for Lyme disease was
negative.
Katie: My Gardasil Nightmare
We took those results with us to a long awaited CHOP Diagnostic
Center appointment (think the "Dr. House" of the Children's Hospital)
and also to her CHOP Neurologist.
Katie even had the classic
Bartonella rash (looks like purple and red stretch marks) surrounding
her breasts and hips which is confirmation of an active Bartonella
infection.
Both doctors told us that these test results only
showed that Katie was "exposed" to Bartonella — it did not mean she had
an active infection.
Both came to the same conclusion that her
Bartonella rash was actually just stretch marks. That was particularly
hard for us to believe. Katie was muscular and lean from years of dance
and cheer.
Neither doctor was concerned about her blazing
Mycoplasma Pneumonia infection nor was the fact that the testing showed
her immune system impaired. Instead, CHOP Diagnostic Center diagnosed
Katie with the beginning stages of Dysautonomia (a malfunctioning
automatic nervous system).
We were told that there was no cure
and that symptoms were managed with medications. The CHOP Neurologist
wasn't in agreement with CHOP Diagnostic Center; instead she stuck to
her prior diagnosis — Chronic Migraine Disorder with Chronic Ear Pain
Neuralgia.
The Neurologist recommended that we continue with the
same treatment of 20 pills a day even though it did absolutely nothing
for Katie other than increase her nausea and head pain. We felt utter
disbelief, despair and anger.
We found our way to a local support
group for those suffering with tick-borne diseases, which provided
recommendations to LLMD's (Lyme Literate Medical Doctors). Katie's first
appointment with an LLMD was in June 2011.
This physician spent
an hour reviewing blood tests and other medical reports we collected
and asked a lot of questions that had never been asked before.
He
clinically diagnosed Katie with Lyme disease and agreed with the test
results that reported active infections with Bartonella Henselae and
Mycoplasma Pneumonia. He told us that Katie was very sick.
Ironically,
upon hearing that news we felt utter relief. This was the first doctor,
since Katie's illness began over nine months before that acknowledged
she was ill.
Since that time, Katie was diagnosed with chronic
Strep, HHV6, hypo-coagulation, susceptibility to bio-toxin illness (mold
and environmental sensitivities) and has acquired autoimmune thyroid
disease.
It has been three and a half years since Katie received
the Gardasil vaccine and she still remains chronically ill. She was
unable to attend school in 7th and 8th grades. This year, Katie decided
to repeat 8th grade again rather than begin high school still sick.
Katie has an IEP plan in school which reduces her daily schedule to three core classes only.
Unfortunately,
Katie is still too sick to attend school with any regularity. Most
days, a teacher comes to our home to review the lessons she missed at
school.
Some days, Katie's pain levels are too high so that she can't even tolerate home tutoring.
Although
she longs to get back to dancing again, she spends most days in her
room sleeping or resting and trying to cope with chronic pain. At 14
years old, Katie's life closely resembles a sick elderly person instead
of an active vibrant teenager she should be.
After Katie was finally diagnosed with tick-borne diseases, we put our initial suspicion about the Gardasil vaccine aside.
Since
the treatment of tick-borne diseases is considered emerging medicine, I
am always combing the internet for new information on tick-borne
diseases, the latest research or treatments.
To our utter
disbelief, I came across an article reporting that the Gardasil vaccine
can activate a latent Bartonella infection that was otherwise being
suppressed by a properly functioning immune system prior to vaccination.
We now believe our earliest suspicion was correct.
We found many
stories about devastating health changes post-vaccine. These stories
are eerily familiar to our daughter's. The Gardasil vaccine is known to
activate latent infections and viruses, such as Epstein Barr and
Bartonella.
The Gardasil vaccine deregulates the immune system
and that allows latent infections and viruses, which were kept in check
pre-vaccine by a then properly functioning immune system, to activate
post-vaccine.
Now, there is evidence that the HPV vaccine is linked to the onset of autoimmune diseases.
We
recently consulted Katie's LLMD and also her Primary Care Physician,
who reviewed Katie's vaccine log and extensive medical records.
Both
agree that Katie's immune system was injured by the Gardasil vaccine
and that it was the catalyst to her cascading health problems and
chronic illness.
Katie's LLMD is now treating her for a vaccine injury in addition to treating multiple tick-borne diseases, other infections/viruses and autoimmune thyroid disease.
At
this point, we are totally outside our insurance company and most
everything is out-of-pocket. The overall expense of Katie's illness
greatly outpaces our income so many expenses are put on credit cards.
But
the biggest cost by far is the toll that the Gardasil vaccine has taken
on our daughter's health and well-being. We wonder if she will ever be
able to reclaim her health and get back to living a normal life free of
pain.
We deeply regret consenting to the Gardasil vaccine. We had
no idea of the severe side effects some experience post vaccine. Every
day, we wish we had been more informed. Parents beware of blindly
following your doctor's recommended vaccine schedule.
Do not
rely or expect your doctor to know everything. You must do your own
research and ask plenty of questions. Our family found out the hard way
that it is possible for a vaccine to have lasting and devastating
effects.
