Researchers Find No Serious Adverse Reactions to HPV Vaccination

http://www.infectioncontroltoday.com/news/2013/10/researchers-find-no-serious-adverse-reactions-to-hpv-vaccination.aspx

"Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and their Danish colleagues have monitored HPV-vaccinated girls via patient data registries in order to examine the incidence of a wide range of diseases and thus determine if there are any serious adverse effects of the vaccine. Their results show no significant increase of the examined diseases in the vaccinated girls relative to their unvaccinated peers.

The study included almost a million Swedish and Danish girls born between 1988 and 2000, and compared roughly 300,000 girls who had been HPV vaccinated with 700,000 who had not. All the girls were between 10 and 17 at time of vaccination, and the vaccines had been administered at some time between 2006 and 2010. The researchers then used patient registries in Denmark and Sweden to study the incidence of any serious adverse effects of the vaccine.

The researchers examined 53 different diagnoses requiring hospital or specialist care, including blood clots, neurological diseases, and autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes. They found that none of these diseases were more common in the vaccinated group than in the unvaccinated group. Mild adverse effects, such as temporary fever and swelling at the site of injection, were not studied however.

"You could see our study as part of a societal alarm system, and as such it did not alert us to any signs that HPV vaccination carries a risk of serious adverse events," says Dr. Lisen Arnheim-Dahlström, associate professor at Karolinska Institutet's Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. "We will, of course, be continuing to monitoring HPV vaccination in terms of both this and its efficacy over time."

1. Someday we will hopefully have real science on the vaccine methods

And not corporate and government revolving door science.

And lots of it. (Also, it's interesting that you responded without bothering to read about the study.)

5. Uh, this IS real science

While I would appreciate getting scientists paid better so the revolving door were no longer necessary due to the increased cost of living and stagnant wages, I also realize that the research that went into this was more likely to be actual epidemiological work instead of some foregone corporate conclusion signed off by someone with a doctorate who did no work on it.

Vaccines, you see, are not great moneymakers since they are given only infrequently instead of taken daily like stiffy pills. There is really no reason to lie about the research.

7. So then maybne someone where who believes this is real science should explain that fact to

Dr. Diane Harper, the woman who helped develop the HPV ( human papilloma virus ) vaccine!

It was Harper herself who made a surprising announcement at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination, Reston, Virginia on Oct. 2nd through 4th, 2009. yes the very developer of the vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, said that the HPV vaccine is dangerous and doesn’t work. She is the latest to come forward and question the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines

She was scheduled to deliver a speech promoting the Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines, but she instead turned on her corporate bosses, embarrassing them at the event. When questioned about the presentation, audience members remarked that they came away feeling that the vaccines should not be used. Joan Robinson, who was in attendance, explains, “I came away from the talk with the perception that the risk of adverse side effects is so much greater than the risk of cervical cancer, I couldn’t help but question why we need the vaccine at all.”

Dr. Harper explained in her presentation and in an NPR interview that the cervical cancer risk in the U.S. is already extremely low, and that vaccinations are unlikely to have any effect upon the rate of cervical cancer in the United States.

8. Epidemiological studies contradicted her alarmism.

That is all.

There are few risks, none of them beyond what we expect with any other vaccine. The fearmongering FOUR YEARS AGO has been found false.

The fearmongering was from people who thought the vaccine would make their little girls fuck.

" this particular claim is a steaming, stinking turd with no science (or even facts) behind it"

The above quote is from your "science" blog


When I get sent to a link that is a science site and I see, " this particular claim is a steaming, stinking turd with no science (or even facts) behind it"

Well - no need to say more.........
