Those who have died following Gardasil vaccination
Jenny Tetlock (California – Northern) was a 15-year-old girl battling a rapidly degenerative neurological disease that some MDs think MAY be linked to the HPV vaccine she received shortly before her first symptoms appeared. (There is no scientific proof one way or the other but Dr Diane Harper, leading researcher who helped design and carry out Phase II and Phase III safety and effectiveness studies to get Gardasil approved and acted as a consultant to Merck, believes that the possibility of a ‘triggering of a genetic disorder within a family has to be considered seriously”.
Jenny passed away on March 15, 2009 surrounded by her family.
Jenny’s Journey gives more details of the events surrounding this young girl’s sudden illness following her Gardasil vaccination.
Moshella Roberts, 20, a student from Fayetteville State University, Fayetteville, (Carolina – North) . She died from the Gardasil vaccination, her first day on the job at Trinity Home Care, April 5, 2008. Shelly appeared to have died in her sleep while on the job that morning.
Shelly was a funny, quiet and easy-going person. Although she had a ’laid back’ personality, she loved to help other people. In her spare time, she enjoyed doing hair and spending time with family and friends. In High School she was a varsity cheerleader, an active volunteer for her community (Special Olympics, make-up artist for a major play, and various town functions) and she received her C.N.A, all while maintaining a honor status. She received her post-secondary education at Fayetteville State University, majoring in psychology.
During her sophomore year, she sought employment through a home health care agency, and suddenly died at her first day on the job, coincidentally four days after receiving the Gardasil vaccine.
Brooke Petkevicius (Florida) who was 19 when she died while at the University of California, Berkeley where she studied social work and was involved in many extracurricular activities including co-ed volleyball and ballroom dancing. She played on an intramural volleyball team, went to kickboxing classes. She also was a social welfare major. She died 14 days after her first dose of Gardasil from a pulmonary embolism or blood clot on March 26th, 2007. There is no family history of this.
Brooke’s story: “Brooke did not smoke,” said her school friend, Megan Sedowski. “She was possibly one of the healthiest people I’ve ever met. She never did drugs and rarely drank alcohol. She worked out daily, and took a lot of classes at the gym. She never complained about anything, really, certainly not her health. She was an amazing, upbeat, caring, healthy young woman and her death was a complete shock.” Brooke had dressed to go running with a friend because they were training for a half-marathon. She walked to the elevator, collapsed against the wall and had a seizure. Brooke was rushed to the hospital and passed away.
Brooke never had any problems with blood clots, nor did her family have any history of clotting problems. Subsequent tests of her younger sister and her mother showed nothing genetic. Brooke had no allergies, no tobacco use, and no past substance abuse problems. Drug tests came back negative. Cynthia Janak, who wrote this piece on Brooke, spoke to all her family. They told her what a wonderful, kind-hearted young woman she was. She had dreams and aspirations for her future and how her laughter was contagious and how her smile lit up a room. This was a girl who had it hard growing up, as many of us, but became a stronger person for it. The phrase Cynthia likes to use is “she took sour grapes and made fine wine.”

Christina Richelle Tarsell (Sparks, Maryland). Chris was a girl on the go; a girl with a vision. She loved being at Bard College where she was an honor student. She loved studio art, philosophy, the tennis team, visits to New York City and hanging out with her caring, fun-loving friends. She was generous, compassionate and always gave back to others. Between her junior and senior years, Chris had a summer job working at the college art museum while living with classmates in a house in Tivoli, NY. So after a short visit home to Maryland, Chris returned to Bard and her job on June 13, 2008. During the visit home, on June 3rd, Chris had gotten her third shot of Gardasil. A few days later, Chris complained of feeling dizzy, tired and she developed a rash on her neck. She had a post-vaccine cough and sinus congestion that wouldn’t go away. We were never told of any side effects to Gardasil so we did not know these signs were significant. Chris was found dead in her bed 18 days after her third shot. What could have happened? Chris was always a healthy, wholesome girl, a non-smoker, an athlete. She didn’t take drugs or medication. As of this writing, the cause is “undetermined”. Further investigation suggests that Chris, like other girls who died following Gardasil, may have had an autoimmune related response triggered by the vaccine. The CDC wants you to dismiss them as “coincidences,” while our beautiful, innocent daughters die needlessly.

Amber Kaufman (St Louis, Missouri) was a perfectly healthy 16 year old teenage girl who collapsed on her way into work with a seizure and her heart then stopped. Amber played volleyball, track, bowled and loved hanging out with her boyfriend, family and friends. She was up beat fun and loved life. She was the last in the nest, she was my best friend. She looked forward to joining the military like her older brother and sister. Her cause of death was listed as “cardiac disturbance of undetermined etiology.”
Amber’s story – March 31st 2008, Amber went to the doctor for a sore throat and at the same time she was administered her second shot of Gardasil, she also had a shot of Rocephin and was put on Erythromycin (Z pack). Being her mom, I asked if she should have the shot since she was sick and her nurse practitioner said it would be no problem. She was also in the middle of her menstrual cycle when she received this shot. She stayed home from school a couple of days as she complained of headaches, being tired and slept a lot.
I attributed it to her illness. She went to school on 4/3/08. Amber was on her way to work after school and I was on my way home, she called to let me know that the road to our house was closed due to water. That was the last time I ever talked to her, about 15 minutes later I got a call from her work saying she had collapsed on her way into work. I live only a few blocks from where she works. When I arrived they were just getting ready to start CPR. Amber was taken to the hospital about 15 minutes away, they did not get a heart beat until they reached the emergency room. She was transferred to St. Louis Children’s Hospital where she did not come off life support. Her brain had swelled and without a breathing tube or tube feeding she would not be able to live, she was brain dead. Amber was an organ donor on April 7, 2008. I sat at her head in the surgery room while they removed her breathing tube, she tried breathing for a while, I’m the one that had to tell her to go and to just be at peace and I was with her at the end. No mother should have to do that for her child, it was the hardest thing I have ever done or ever will do in my life! I am so glad my Amber saved at least five other lives. I get up every day because I know she would want me to let others know not to get this vaccine to prevent this from happening to any other young woman or mom.

Megan Hild (Los Lunas, New Mexico) (died aged 20 in November 2008)
Megan loved children especially her nieces and nephew. Her family was her life and she never missed an opportunity to spend time with them. She especially liked to be at home just hanging out with family and friends. Megan was a student at CNM working towards her Associates degree in radiology and general studies. Megan’s beautiful smile will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
She was a very healthy and happy young lady and loved going to college.
Here is an excerpt of an email from her mother.
“On her death certificate it will read, Cause of death unknown. She’s my daughter and I loved her!!!! I will never see her graduate college. I will never see her wear a wedding dress and hold her babies in her arms.
Other information about Megan: Symptoms – rash “severe stomach pains” “severe headaches/migraines” “extreme fatigue” vaginal bleeding. Her mother Karen adds this additional comment: “We have a sixteen year old son who says, “life does not matter, what you do in life does not matter”. This is how this vaccine has changed our family’s life forever! Megan was 20, happy and healthy. She was attending College with a promise of marriage after graduation. She held her life in the palm of her hand.
Now all this family has is a certificate with an unexplained cause of death on it. Something that was to protect her health may have taken her life. There needs to be an investigation right away before more young women are injured, or worse, die. Please do not allow another family to have to live the life we have been made to live.”

Santana G. Valdez (Albuquerque, New Mexico)
She was beautiful, sweet, kind and always thinking of others first. She loved kids and was always surrounded by them. She helped teach catechism at San Martin de Porres Church. She had just graduated from Nuestros Valores High School. Because of a great personality, she had many friends. Not only was she my daughter, she was my best friend. We did everything together. I miss her and that beautiful smile of hers. She always believed in Angels and that they take care of us. Well, I know for sure she made it to Heaven because the morning of her rosary, a hummingbird was inside our house. It let us catch it and when we released it, it looked at all three of us and flew straight up into the sky. She had to come to let her Mom know that she was okay. She died August 31, 2007 at the tender age of 18 years old. She just went to bed normally and never woke up. Autopsy and toxicology show nothing. Her heart and liver were a little enlarged. Death certificate says she died of natural causes but inconclusive due to toxicology and autopsy reports.
Santana’s autopsy report did say that the pathologist had found the papillomatosis in her airways. Is there a possibility that Santana had Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP) which causes wart-like growths in the airway passages caused by the human papilloma virus? These growths usually form on the vocal folds, causing a voice disorder. Just before my daughter’s death I noticed strange breathing and a whistling noise which is very significant. If this condition had been there months earlier I would have noticed this change in my daughter’s breathing noises and even swallowing difficulties. However, this is not the case, I only noticed it after her Gardasil vaccination and before she died.

Jessica Ericzon (Alexandria Bay, New York)
(Died February 22, 2008 – age 17)
I guess I will start with Jessie’s first Doctor’s visit where we went because of Jessie’s acne. She had heard that sometimes birth control pills did wonders for acne. So in April of 2007 we went to the Family doctor. At this appointment she was put on the birth control pill Yazmin. Her Doctor did mention the Gardasil vaccine and what it was for, but they didn’t push it at all. Jessie and I decided that we would take the pamphlet home and read it first, before we made a decision. On July 16, 2007 we went back to the Doctor for a re-check on her progress with the birth control pill and her acne which was clearing up quite nicely. We decided then to go ahead with her first Gardasil vaccination. I thought I was doing the best for Jessie, I mean who wouldn’t want to do everything they could to prevent any kind of cancer when it came to their kids. Side effects were discussed and it was the usual nausea, fever, headache, same as if you were to get a flu shot. If I had known at the time that there was even the slightest chance of death, I would have never allowed Jess to have the shot. There were no side effects after her first shot. We went in on September 17, 2007 for her second vaccination. The only complaint that she had was that it hurt to get the shot. I’m not sure when Jessie started complaining about her head hurting, plus she was always tired and her joints ached. She even felt dizzy once in a while. I did write in my diary on October 23, 2007 that she complained of a very severe headache. She spoke once in awhile of a spot on the back of her head that bothered her. She felt like it was a tumor, but I felt nothing when I checked. On November 20, 2007 I took her to the same family Doctor who prescribed her 2 previous vaccinations to check on why she could be having these headaches. He felt nothing and said it may be due to stress that she is having headaches and she was to take some Tylenol when needed. At no point in this conversation did side effects and Gardasil come up, it didn’t occur to me or obviously the Doctor that Gardasil could have anything to do with it. After that visit she was still tired and her joints still ached and a few headaches here and there, I attributed the joint ache to Cheerleading as she was a base and did a lot of lifting. In February 2008, 18th-24th, Jessie was on a winter break from school, but she did take Distance Learning Classes thru the local community college. A few days that week Jess went to her school to practice pitching for the upcoming softball season. She loved to pitch and practiced as much as she could. On February 20, about 5pm Jess had her 3rd Gardasil vaccination and everything was fine until the night before she died, when Jess and I were sitting on the couch playing a Sudoku game on her laptop, Jessie said the spot on the back of her head hurt again. I told her to take a couple of Tylenol and hopefully she would feel better in the morning. At 9pm I kissed her goodnight and told her I loved her and went to bed. My other half Tim and I work at the same hospital so we left at about 5:10 that Friday morning February 22, 2008 and Jess was sleeping as usual. When we got home from work around 3:20 pm, I found Jessie dead on the bathroom floor. The shock to my body and brain are nothing I ever want to experience again. Although I relive them everyday of my life now. I see the blue of her eyes which were open slightly as if she were watching me as I lay on the bathroom floor with her knowing there was nothing I could do for her. When the troopers showed up Tim said I did mention the fact that Jessie had the Gardasil vaccination although I don’t remember. I do remember telling someone about the pain in the back of her head before she went to bed. The next morning the Medical Examiner, Dr Livingstone called me to tell me they found no reason for Jessie’s death. He said she was dead before she hit the floor. I do remember telling him about the 3rd Gardasil vaccination she had just had not 2 days ago. He said that he had not heard of any negative findings with Gardasil. After that Tim went home (as we were staying with my dad across the road) and Googled Gardasil. The information that came up was devastating to me. I felt I had killed my daughter. I will stop here because the rest is basically much grief and much research. Respectfully,
Lisa Ericzon.
Lisa Ericzon would also like to add: “Losing your daughter at the age of 17 is indescribable. It is something that I will live with for the rest of my life. Knowing that it could have been prevented is a guilt I will carry also. Jessie was the All American teenager – happy, healthy, never did drugs or smoked. She was so full of everything life could offer her and did everything life would allow. She participated in all the sports and cheer leading in her school. Jess was an honor student and #8 in her class. I could go on and on because she was someone who I was ALWAYS proud to call my daughter. She was the best of the best and was on the road to becoming a success story in today’s world. Now she is gone and my life is empty without her.”
“Gardasil killed my daughter Jessie and it is my hope that Gardasil will end soon, so no other family has to suffer with losing their daughter.”

European Gardasil Death
Jasmin Soriat (Germany)
04.14.1988 – 10.12.2007
The 19-year-old succumbed to respiratory paralysis after she was vaccinated against HPV. “She was fit, happy and fun-loving. She never had any serious illnesses, had no lung disease, and she never smoked. There were also previously never problems with vaccinations.”
The last night:
Meticulously the parents have reconstructed the final hours of Jasmin: “She was at a concert a Spanish band, before midnight she was at a fast food restaurant, then drove with her flatmate home by taxi to Döbling. Two o’clock in the morning drank some tea. Her girlfriend came by to check up on her the next day but Jasmine, according to her friend who said, “She must have died a few hours earlier in her sleep.” (This was a rough translation from German)
To everyone who knowingly developed this gardasil for our daughters, they should all be tried for murder and sentenced to die. They KNOW that this stuff ( vaccines ) is poison. Protest, write the newspapers, your doctors , elected officials….. anyone, everyone !
Wow.
I was *this* close to getting this vaccine after having my daughter, just before turning 25.
…I’m glad I didn’t in hindsight. I can’t imagine what she’d do without me and I can’t imagine not being a part of her life. I’m so sorry for the loss these mothers are experiencing…it’s beyond belief.
What tests have been done on Gardasil? How did it ever get FDA approval? I wonder how many people die of other vaccines we may not have heard or read about? While no direct link between the drug and these deaths, they sure are too coincidental to ignore-
How many more young people are going to be harmed, even killed by vaccinations? most parents do as their doctors advise without questioning the dangers as we think ‘doctor knows best’. Not soit is their job to push these vaccinations by the drug companies and they themselves dont look up the dangers as they could never believe that they could give patients something that could harm even kill. Doctors have to look into these vaccinations and be held responsable for their actions, there needs a full inquiry into both the vaccinations and the drug companies.
I’m so very sorry to everyone who has lost someone to Gardasil. I think that if the doctor’s are able to give these medications to people, they should have to be held responsible, as should the creators of Gardasil, Yaz, Yazmin… There’s a whole list of vaccines, and birth controls that have ended up causing injury, and sometimes death. From now on, the FDA needs to pay more attention to what they approve. It’s sickening that people have to go through losing someone they love. The FDA, nor our doctors are doing their job… What has the world come to? I mean really? It’s like no one cares about anyone, but themselves anymore. Once again, I’m very sorry to all of you who have been victims, or who knows a victim. I really wish I could help…
I will post this site to my site so more people can discover the truth about this medication. What many people reading through this site may not be aware of is the historical context behind vaccines in general and other methods that have been used over the last 200 years to render females infertile. Even a historical look back as far as the witch hunts sees male leadership attacking women for no other reason than their ability to heal and cure the sick. Food/natural remedies always cured and whom better to know that than women who care for their families and pass information down from generation to generation. When healing was accomplished using nature, conventional doctors at the time pushed to have the women declared witches and you can take it from there. Sterilization of women was a major drive developed across the world in the early 1900′s. and even in the 1800′s. Unless the homework is done it would be hard to connect the dots between sterilization, the birth control pill, hysterectomies, anti depression medication, Gardasil etc but a firm line exists straight through all of them. Here is a youtube clip regarding the firm attack on women through sterilization in North America. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAgWivCuVhE&feature=player_embedded Again, do the homework because it is just not about Gardasil. Women and their ability to reproduce in a healthy way (or at all) has been the target for more than 300 years and it is the male dominated medical profession who is always holding the smoking gun. Go to my site http://whathappenedtohealth.blogspot.com/ and search “vaccines” or Gardasil because I write many articles about their inherent dangers. The best of luck. Remember all vaccines are like this, not just Gardasil. Thinking one vaccine is better than the other or one is bad and others are safe will just breed more websites like this.
I am so worried my daughter 16 had her third shot just the other day not showing any ill signs. My other daughter 14 has had her shots 6 months ago. If anything like this happens I will lose my mind. The schools here offered it and I feel so guilty signing those papers. My heart goes out to the families of the victims. Wish I had known more about the vaccine.
I have read every story and article that I can find on Gardasil. One of the many things that stands out from every single story is that all of the girls, and young women and their parents believed that the vaccine would PREVENT cancer. And yet, no where in any information given by Merck or CSL or Glaxo-Smith Kline, does it say the HPV vaccines will PREVENT cancer. These girls and their parents are being lied to by their doctors. The same doctors who have sold their souls to Big Pharma. These vaccines do NOT prevent cancer. Their ability to PREVENT HPV is also questionable. Please, parents, do not believe for 1 minute that your doctor has your child’s wellbeing on the top of his list. Instead, find out what he gains from pushing this drug. If he did as little research as I have on the subject, he would not push this drug which is no more than a toxic mix of chemicals that he himself would not injest, in any form. If, on the other hand, he pushes every drug offered by Big Pharma, ask yourself why? Do not make the mistake of thinking your doctor knows more than you do. Knowledge is Power.
To those of you who are suffering, go to a Naturopath. Your body needs to rid itself of the toxic mix of chemicals in Gardasil and every other vaccine you have subjected it to. If you are reading this, you still have a chance. Don’t let another Healthcare Professional tell you it is psycosomatic. Trust your instincts and fight for your health. You may in fact be fighting for your life. God speed.
[...] after using this vaccine. Megan’s story along with the many others is included on the website The Truth About Gardasil a site dedicated to the girls who have lost their lives to Gardasil a vaccine manufactured by Merck [...]
Thank you for the information. Im very concerned that I have allowed my girls to receive the shot. This is first I have heard about these tragedys. My daughter was fortunate enough to hear about this at the mall, from a mother who has experienced this through her daughter. Thank you God, for sending this messenger and bringing this to our attention.
I just left the Pediatricians office woth my 17 year old daughter. Her Dr., the same one she has had since birth, was pushing Gardasil hard, but I have done my homework about this drug and we had already decided against it. She blew a fuse and stormed out of the room. Time to find a new doctor.
I don’t have daughters but I have two sons and my youngest is autistic by vaccine injection. I have been following the information about the Garadsil injuries and deaths. I want you to know that the autism community will support you every step of the way. We understand more than anyone how people can call you crazy, quote junk science and lie straight to your face about the truth on vaccines. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of our children “collateral damage” of herd medicine.
At my daughter’s, (14 & 16), physicals last year, their pediatrician mentioned the Gardasil vaccine. I told her I wanted to read the material & think about it. I recently started seeing a chiropracter & he said you should educate yourself before making any decisions about any vaccine. Don’t just get the vaccine because your doctor recommends it. I’m glad I found this website & I’m so sorry for the families that have lost their daughters to this vaccine.
I just allowed all 5 of my Daughters and 1 Son to receive the Gardasil vaccination and I am so hurt and scared now my heart goes out to every parent who’s lost their child over this vaccination. I pray that nothing would happen to my children. DEAR GOD PLEASE HELP AND SAVE MY CHILDREN!!!!!!
Thank you for protecting my daughter. I grieve with you for yours, please know by sharing your stories- you are saving the lives of others.
I had my 13 year old daughter vaccinated with Gardasil on Monday 5-3-10. She recieved, at the same time 4 other vaccines (Hep A, Varicella booster, Menactra, Tetanus booster). On Monday when we came home she was extremely fatigued and went to bed. She awoke later that night with complaints of pins and needles in her arm. I thought this was normal side effect and let her go back to bed. She got up and went to school on Tuesday. However, Tuesday morning by 11:15 AM her teacher was calling me and stating that my daughter did not look or feel well at all and that it was so bad to her, that she was going to leave school and bring her home to me. I went and got her and called the doctors office. She was complaining at that point of a very severe headache and dizziness. The nurse says to me”this is a normal side effect of Gardasil and that I should give it a few days”. I gave her ibuprofen and relieved her headache enough that she could sleep. Wednesday she was still complaining of the same headache and described it as “someone stabbing me in the back of my neck”. I called the doctor once again, and once again was told “give it till Saturdady and bring her in if not better. This could be from ANY one of the vaccines she was given and this is NOT an adverse reaction, it is a side effect.” Wednesday night she complains of nausea, sore throat, and headache. And the same this morning. I am scared to death that this is just the beginning and I dont know what to do!!!!! She also is extremely allergic to nickel and I’m not sure that her doctor should have EVER given her a heavy metal vaccine in the first place…Especially when she gave her a steroid cream for nickel reactions in the same visit!! PLEASE HELP! I dont know what to do!
Dear Constance, I read your email reply from May 6th. I imagine no one needs to advise that your daughter not get any further Gardasil injections as you probably have already decided that for yourself. Do not let your doctor convince you otherwise. If you want to talk with me further about this, you can email me. Best wishes to you and your daughter. Emily Tarsell
MY DAUGHTER HAD THE SHOT YEARS AGO, AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS….MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO ALL THE GIRLS AND MOMS,I HOPE THEY ALL MAKE IT THROUGH.I FEEL THAT EVERYTHING WE EAT, TAKE, OR IS GIVEN EFFECTS EACH AND EVER ONE OF US DIFFERENT. MOMS, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, IF YOU GAVE YOUR GIRL THE SHOT, REMEMBER, YOU DID IT TO TRY TO KEEP THEM FROM GETTING CANCER..NOT TO HURT THEM…ITS A CHANCE WE ALL TAKE..NOW, WHAT IF YOU DONT GIVE THE SHOT, WHAT ARE HER CHANCES OF GETTING C. CANCER…TUFF CHOICE TO MAKE..IM PRAYING FOR YOU ALL!
I am so sorry to hear about the tragedies that have come from vaccines. I am seriously thinking about organizing a protest at Merck’s headquarters in New Jersey. Please email me if you are interested and/or know how to get the word out.
I agree all who participate work for promote vacinations knowing full well the danger should be sentanced as acomplices to murder someone has to be held accountable when we know that this vacine continue to be given all over the world, you cant tell me pople dont know the info is everywhere now…Vengence is Gods and I have faith those involved will get there punishment.
I am a Mother who made sure my Daughter was vaccinated last year. I am crying right now thinking about her future, and if She too will develop a terminal illness because of my lack of knowledge. What do I do now?
If she is ok now, she likely will be. Most of the Adverse events occur quickly
I had my first shot of Gardasil 2 days back because I was afraid that I might have Cervical cancer like mom whom I took care for 2 months in the hospital. But after the shots, I flew back to UAE the next day and I noticed I was sweating too much while on flight when everyone was feeling cold. I ignored it and go on resting. Today I found our website and I felt scared that I might made the wrong choice of having the vaccine. I still have 2 syringe of Gardasil with me here and I am thinking of throwing this expensive medicine. I have severe headaches.. What should I do??
STOP THIS IGNORANCE!! People die every day and it is not related to this shot or any other. To those who actually listen to “chiropractors” they are NOT doctors, but quacks who believe you should not take any prescription drugs (diabetes, high blood pressure or even if your child has a severe infection that could kill them) Those of you who are actually making death threats on this board and saying God will get those who made this drug are severely disturbed. Every vaccine “CAN” have a side affect, however death is very VERY rare and the risk of not getting this shot is great. I was raped and contacted the HPV virus years ago and it is one of the reasons my life been very tough. I made sure my 13 yr old received the vaccine and she is perfecty fine. Actually the risk of not getting many of the required vaccines are great, and you are taking your child’s life in your hand by not vaccinating. I am not being cruel, but none of the deaths above have been proven to be caused by this vaccine. (and by the way, I do know what it is like to lose a child, I buried my first infant years ago) so I understand a parents pain, but stop blaming it on this vaccine and others.
As a mother of 2 daughters ages 13, and 11 my heart goes out to the parents have lost their child. I cant imagine going through anything like what you have had to. I have a friend who just had her daughter receive the first shot,and my daughter is going in for her physical today. I thought before i take her in i should look up info on this shot, and see side effects. I know the doctor will try to suggest the shot, but after seeing this web page,and many others there is no way i will allow them to vaccinate my daughter with this poision. I am horrified, shocked, and saddened that there is a product causing this much side effects, and even death, but yet still allowed to be given. My heart really hurts for these mothers that tried to do what was right for their children, and ended up with a horrible tragedy. Thank you to each parent that has taken the time to write your thoughts. It has helped me make my decision on a topic i had really not even thought, or known about.
I am very sorry for what you have been through. However, for you to come to a page about those who have died, is completely insenstive and rude. You don’t have to agree with what is said here, but you need to be respectful to the pain and suffering that not only the family of these lost girls are going through, but also to the thousands and thousands AND thousands of girls who are suffering after getting an HPV vaccine. I do not believe one of us would go to a rape victim’s website, or even the website for mourning parents and say ” You should not have vaccinated your child” or any other such crude remark. Again. I’m sorry for your loss and for what happened to you, but this is not a place for you to express such opinions, especially since you are clearly uninformed about the HPV vaccines. I wish you well, and that your life circumstances improve.
Anything and eveything can kill you when you think about it.
I have had all three injections
Hi, I¨m from Brasil, and I got my first gardasil shot one month ago, I have many problems, headeche, lake of sensibility on all body, my face too, dehydration, many other things. It¨s terrible. My eye is dry. Can someone help me about this, my eye is very dry and I don¨t no what I can do.I ¨m waiting some ansewer help. Thanks and congratulations about this site. Sorry about the english.
My 2nd daughter, Christian Noel died in my arms(she just quit breathing) 24 hours after her first MMR vaccine in 1982. She was 7 weeks old. Cause of death:SIDS. Please love your children, don’t vaccinate them.
I recently went with my 19 yr old daughter to her annual medical exam. Her doctor remindered her that she had not yet started her HPV vaccine series. I told him I was still researching the vaccine. He assured us that this was a good vaccine and was encouraging her to get the shots. I asked how many cases of cervical cancer he detects from PAP smears and how it is treated. In a month he may find 4 or 5 out of approximately 100 pap smears/month. Then typically an office procedure would erradicate the abnormal cells. The CDC(Center for Disease Control) indicates that in 2006 (the most recent yr. for cervical cancer research numbers)there were 3,976 deaths nationwide attributed to Cervical Cancer. In Washington State, where we live, there were 60 deaths attributed to Cervical Cancer in 2006. There was no information as to how many of these woman had received regular PAP smears, any PAP smear, or no PAP smear.Or was there cervical cancer diagnosed post mortum and deemed cause of death. Compare this number to the number of people nationally whose deaths are attributed to the flu (on the CDC website)from 1976 -2006 flu deaths/yr.
low 3,000 – high 49,000.
2009 began the big push for the Swine Flu vaccine. In 2009 there were over 12,000 fatalities from the flu. In 2008 there were 521 total deaths from car accidents and 182 of those were related to drunk driving. And again, 60 deaths in Washington state in 2006 from Cervical Cancer.
After reading these numbers, knowing that doctors can easily detect the precancerous cervical cells with regular PAP smears, reading about the side effects of the HPV shot and the tragic deaths of too many young women, my daughter and I have decided she will not get the HPV shots. She’ll continue to get regular PAP smears. She will not get the flu shots either that the medical community and our government are eagerly pushing. We’ll try to eat healthy and stay healthy and steer clear of what seem to be ever more dangerous, unnecessary vaccines.
Suspicious of pharmaceuticals I have refused 3 times this vaccine for my daughter. The last time was when she had to get a physical for track. The assistant in the clinic told me that this vaccine was REQUIRED in the state of Georgia. I told her it was not. Can you believe the incompetence?
I am horrified at the lack of information that is given via the schools and know that many, many parents will consent to the vaccine without realising that there are serious and life threatening side effects that could affect their children. A consent form with a letter and leaflet are not enough for anyone to make an informed decision. My heart goes out to all who are suffering with this and to the parents that must be consumed with guilt for having consented to this vaccine. I cannot believe that the school and school practice nurse is comfortable with administering these vaccines even though they are aware (apparently) of what is going on. Institutions are afraid to rock the boat and it is up to us as parents and guardians to speak for our children.
Thank you so much to this website my 12 year old daughter was due to get her vaccine at school.I decided to do some research online with her to see how much information we could find as the school issue leaflet was not very informative and i felt it didn’t really list any side effects. The school issue information just stated that she would have a swollen arm and possibly a headache. I really feel for all the families who have lost their young daughters or who’s daughters have been left severely ill after having the “vaccination”. I have now returned the slip back to my daughters school and have refused to consent to her being vaccinated. Many thanks again.
Thank you for taking the time to comment. And unfortunately what you experienced with the lack of information, happens all too often, as it did with my daughter. That is one reason why I wanted to start this website. I’m so glad you found out BEFORE your daughter was vaccinated!
My daughhter received the first gardasil shot 6 days ago. She also received Hep A, Chicken Pox booster and the nasal flu mist. I asked the doctor if it was a good idea to have all of these at one time. She reassured me that it was perfectly safe. My daughter has not had any side effects except for a headache and sore throat. I am completely terrified at this point after researching all of this. She will not be receiving any more shots. At what point can I feel safe that this has not harmed her. Will giving B complex possibly help. Please pray that she has not been harmed. Thank You.
Hi Angela,
I’m so glad your daughter has not shown any signs of an adverse reaction! Please just keep an eye on her. A lot of the girls that have been injured do take vitamins, but since I’m not a doc I can’t give medicval advice, so I would check with someone first. I would also watch for fatigue, continued headaches, blood pressure changes or even menstrual changes. Actually, just watch for any new medical symptoms. I pray that your daughter will not be affected! If you have any questions, or just want to stay in touch, you can find me on facebook as Marian Hollandsworth Greene or email at moderator@truthaboutgardasil.org
I’m getting this shot tomorrow… What I’ve red is awful & heartbreaking not to mention scary. I dread this shot and i wish I didn’t have to take it. Not looking forward to what will happen… </3

Why do you “have” to get it? Please be careful and watch for any new health symptoms.
Do not trust anything just because it is “FDA Approved.” Think about all of the drug commercials on TV. They are all “FDA Approved” but yet side effects include depression, blood clots, wanting to kill yourself, etc. However, if you look at a bottle of Vitamin C, it is not “FDA Approved.” Also, remember how many drugs that were originally “FDA Approved” have been recalled after numerous people have died. Of course, they are recalled after the drug company has made billions of dollars.
The parents of vaccine damaged kids have been screaming warnings for years and most don’t listen to us. Now, sadly, with this happening to older children that can tell you what they are feeling after the shot, maybe people will wake up to just how dangerous ALL vaccines really are. It is not just the Gardasil that kills, ALL VACCINES CARRY THE RISK OF DEATH, seizures, autoimmune disease, the list goes on and on.
First, my heart goes out to all of the precious moms on this website. May you find peace. My oldest daughter was, in my ignorance, fully vaccinated but as the years rolled on and other children appeared the recommended vaccinations increased to such an alarming number that I started research and my 2 youngest are not vaccinated while my middle daughter is partially. This Gardasil vaccine put up a special red flag for me as the printed information didn’t say it would prevent cancer like it was hyped up to and thankfully I was able to read between the lines in their literature and none of my 3 daughters were vaccinated with it despite aggressive pushing from the children’s doctor. A side effect of my pediatrician aggressively pushing vaccines is that I quit taking my children to the pediatrician and just started taking them to my regular doctor who doesn’t seem to have the need to try to force the vaccines on me like the pediatrician did. Maybe he’s not as knowledgeable in childhood health or maybe not getting the same incentives from the drug company.
I have a sixteen year old daughter that has gotten all three of the vaccines and lately for the last month she has been complaining of headaches and she has been feeling very weak.
Today we all sat down to eat dinner and she just fell on the floor from weakness and next thing I know steph is throwing up…I’m on my way to the hospital with because after looking
up her symptoms I came across this page and I’m terrified now…Thanks to all that posted and spoke of your tragedy, sorry for all that lost there children or a love on.May God
Bless you all.
What is this world coming to that a piece of green paper is more important than childs lifes. Im and 18 yr old boy doing a persuasion paper on the dangers of vaccines. The more i research it and the people who have died it makes me want to cry. We must be educated before we make desisions. Love everybody. The most important things in life aren’t things. Go with God!
Reading all of these stories just breaks my heart. Parents, PLEASE do not give your children these shots. HPV is a preventable disease, and there is absolutely no reason to subject children to the dangers of this vaccine when there are safer and effective alternatives. Begin by teaching your children abstinence, which is 100% effective and 100% safe for preventing HPV. But if that is not possible, teach them to use safe sex practices that will prevent this disease. I have a nephew with autism and I know first hand the ravages that vaccines can cause – so please, get informed and don’t count on the FDA to protect you. The FDA has approved too many dangerous vaccines, drugs and procedures because they have been “bought” by the health/pharmaceutical/medical industry. Parents must take their children’s health into their own hands and that begins by getting informed.
You know, a while back I’d say, 2006, at the time I was 18 just getting over the side effect that mononucleosis left on me, a swollen lymph node, so I had gone to the doctor to make sure it was nothing more than that and not cancer or the like. While I was in the doctors office, the nurse and doctor started badgering me on getting my tetanus booster and gardasil, I felt an uneasy feeling, not just a normal needle anxiety but something told me to get out of there. When I refused and started to leave they got very angry. I know it wasn’t anger for my welfare it was because of money. I am so happy I refused back then, reading these tragic stories make me feel like I potentially doged a bullet.
My daughter received her first Gardasil shot about a year ago and within 3 weeks developed her first ever UTI (urinary tract infection) which didn’t respond to antibiotics. She had to have 2 more rounds of stronger antibiotics before it dissapeared. Anyone who’s had a UTI knows how awful it feels.
Coincidentaly at the same time I heard about Jasmine Renata’s death due Gardasil, thanks to her brave mum who spoke out on the NZ TV news, which I heard about through someone on a forum online.
So thanks to her my daughter has been spared more shots of Gardasil.
Unfortunately Gardasil is still being offered through schools here in NZ, thanks to ignorant officials who only look at data on Mercks Gardasil trials, and don’t question where these reports are coming from, the integrity of the company and whether there is a conflict of interest there – Merck makes profit for Shareholders, Merck conducts the trails. Anyone fool could work it out!
Thankyou to all the mums who bravely speak out against Big Pharma, Government-who-aren’t-earning-their-keep, and anyone else responsible for the insanity that is Gardasil
Gardasil contains polysorbate 80,which has been proven to cause sterilization in rats. Sodium borate is the active ingredient in roach killer. Gardasil is a SALE pediatricians will push on you to make money and retire sooner. 70% of all HPV infections resolve ON THEIR OWN within 1 year, and 90% resolve ON THEIR OWN within 2 years. You have found this site-please educate friends and relatives about the dangers of this unnecessary snake oil vaccine.
It would be great if this site put together a page wherein we could easily link up to our state and federal representatives and also the makers of the vaccines to send our letters of concern, pain, etc. It is great to have a site to mobilize people – and it’s good to be able to process your pain via sharing – but most people here have had a bad experience with gardasil – I think what would also be good is to be able to ‘vent’ by being able to send out letters of pain and wrath to our government reps, FDA and the makers, physicians pushing this stuff etc. Can the webmaster add an advocate page so that everyone coming to the site can easily petition their reps – it would add a layer of DOING SOMETHING! And coming together not only to tell the tragic stories, but to feel we leave the site after being able to complain to someone in POWER so that possibly they will DO SOMETHING about removing this from the public. If you don’t want HPV, do what women have done for decades: be careful who you have sex with and/or use condoms. This was the advice I gave a friend before she ran her daughter through 3 shots of gardasil. That girl is still having problems in her second year of college. I’ve read “they” are recommending this to 12yr old girls but that the actual coverage of the vaccine lasts only 2 years. Will they even BE sexually active at 12, 13, 14? Will it EVEN be around to ‘help’ them when they are 20? NO ONE KNOWS! I am 57 and in my life I have not met another female with HPV. It’s preventable with lifestyle changes but the injuries that come from the multiple vaccines children are being injected with are NOT preventable unless you opt out. By the way: no matter if it’s a STATE or FEDERAL requirement to receive a vaccine, a parent can opt out for their child on religious basis. Do the research on this, put a letter on file at your childs physician’s and school office that they are NOT to have ANY vaccines and consider deeply every vaccine your child is ‘required’ to have or advised to have. Choose – don’t have them done routinely and I hate when they double or triple vaccines in one sitting – the reactions by each child’s immune system simply cannot be guessed at. The thought of tiny babies receiving many many vaccines before they are 6 makes me shudder for their safety.
I totally agree with you, and this is actually something we have been working on. We hope to have it up very soon. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. We welcome your suggestions and activism, so please continue to check back and feel free to share any ideas you may have.
Am very grateful to have a doctor who is not only well-educated, but compassionate and who does not push the vaccines on my family. Four daughters, no gardasil, thanking my lucky stars!
Parents are really being taken to the cleaners with this shot. I was at a conference where the speaker was pushing it to us mothers starting with our 9 yrs girls!! My friend’s son was cornered by 2 nurses as they tried to get him to take it. He walked out of the office! In some of the articles I read, the doc pushing it does not use the word Gardasil, they call the the HPV or cervical cancer shot. Could that be because many of us have heard about the bad side effects. If our 9 yr old kids are having sex, then we have a bigger problem! God help us and do not let you kids get this shot!!
