She has spent time in ICU and is still very ill over ten months later! Have you found something that helped your daughter? there are many many girls olut there that are sick, but all the ones I am in contact with, either the doctors do not believe it was from the gadrasil shot or like mine, just don't know how to help! It's very scary and frustrating! My daughter was one that got the vaccine and was sick within days of getting it! She has spent time in ICU and is still very ill over ten months later!

I hope that she continues to heal and regain her strength and spirit. The issues of corporate responsibility and research-bias are not new where the pharmaceutical industry is concerned. There really should be no ethical question on the part of the corporation to release all information to the public when also releasing a new "wonder" drug to the same public; yet this question remains. You are absolutely right that it is unreasonable and impossible for the pharmaceutical industry, and not to mention the government, to expect the public to be able to make informed, rational and objective decisions based on only a small piece of the picture. I would also agree with you that the public is essentially on the losing end of a huge battle in trying to take on such large corporations. Does the responsibility to provide information to the public rest with the corporation? Or does it rest with the government to enforce the release of this information? I suppose the easy answer is that there is no easy answer. We are essentially left to our own devices to do as much digging as possible before making a decision. Please don't ever feel pressured by the corporation, the government, a marketing campaign, the school, religion, etc. into making a decision. Don't be afraid to ask the questions that you have. If you're not satisfied with the response, ask someone else. You have a right to know as much as possible. You have the right to decide for yourself. I am very sorry to hear about your daughter.

When I heard of the shot to help stop cancer before it starts i was very intrigued. I researched the shot and decided that it was a good idea. I had my daughter get the first shot, no problems ever arouse. She got her second shot and shortly after she was hospitalized for 4 days with pancreatitis, and anyone that knows about medicine knows that this is highly unusual. She now has abdominal pain everyday. She is now not allowed to eat fatty foods, sugary foods, and spicy foods. She is sooo sick of chicken by the way! I think the ultimate horror in all of this is that Merk doesn't want to confirm it as a side affect and no lawyers will take the case because they can not prove that this is the ultimate reason for her problems. So, now we are paying for doctors visits and hospital trips out of our pockets with no one being held accountable for this issue. I am not trying to convince you to or not to get the shot. I am trying to inform some of you on some of the side affects that Merk may not be telling us. There is another case of the same issues on CNN.com. I am a mother of an 11 yr old sick little girl.
