ANOTHER GARDASIL DEATH?: ONE IRATE LETTER TO THE NZ MINISTRY OF HEALTH

Source: http://beyondvaccination.com/showthread.php?1583-Jasmine-Renata

Open Letter to Dr Stewart Jessamine,
Medsafe.

Saturday, 9 January, 2009.

Dear Dr Jessamine,

I have been working with Rhonda Renata since October, regarding her daughter’s death following the Gardasil vaccination, and have permission to discuss her death, and for all information I have to be made public.  This letter has been written with Rhonda, and all attachments are attached as requested by Rhonda.

I also have Rhonda’s permission to discuss other aspects of this case on my website, now that Rhonda has gone public through the Herald today:

Reference:  http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10619244 9 January 2010.

CSL, which markets Gardasil in New Zealand, said it was unlikely the investigations would find the vaccine caused Jasmine’s death.

The Ministry of Health said it was important not to jump to conclusions about Jasmine’s death until more information was available.

“Information from immunisation programmes overseas has not raised any concerns over the safety of this vaccine, in which over 44 million doses have been distributed worldwide,” said Dr Stewart Jessamine, group manager of the ministry’s medicines safety authority Medsafe.

Reference:

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10614748 December 11, 2009.

CARM director Michael Tatley yesterday told the Herald an investigation was under way, but details of the girl’s death were “really scant stuff”.

The matter was still before the coroner. The girl is believed to have died in the past couple of months.

Her death had come within six months of receiving the Gardasil vaccination, but it was not known if she had completed the course – generally three shots administered six weeks apart.

Before I discuss specific issues which concern me, please find attached Jasmine’s medical records; two documents which were sent to Dr Michael Tatley’s office by Rhonda Renata on the 11th November, 2009, acknowledged by Janelle Ashton on 23.11.2009, and assigned the CARM report number, 087237. Please also find attached the provisional report after autopsy; ESR letter 17th Novmber 2009, and please note that this was all that has been received by the parents.

·        Can you read the provisional report?

·        Do you think that this “information” is appropriate for parents?

·        Shouldn’t parents in Rhonda’s position, receive an outline of what will be done; how, and in what time frame?

Jasmine died on 22nd September 2009.

·        Do you think it reasonable that Jasmine’s parents still have no autopsy results?

As you will see, all three batch numbers for Jasmine’s Gardasil vaccines were supplied on the report card.  Furthermore, the supplementary document provided, gave very detailed information from the medical records, and from Jasmine’s mother Rhonda.

·        Why then, on December 11, 2009, did Michael Tatley inform the Herald that he didn’t know if she had completed the series, and that information was really scant stuff?

·        How can the public have any confidence in CARM when they deny the existence of the very information they request that a parent send to them?

Here are what I consider to be key issues which the Ministry must address:

The fact that at least THREE teenage girls died in their sleep between 1 September and 30 November 2009.  These are only the ones we know about.  One of those, Jasmine Renata, is confirmed as receiving the full Gardasil series before she died.

·        What about Jaylene Pai, and the other Jasmine, in Napier, who died shortly before Jasmine Renata?

·        What about any others, whose parents think that their child is the only one who has died in her sleep?

There is also concern in this country and overseas, about seizures following Gardasil.  I note from letters to the editor, that prominent medical people in New Zealand, who consider themselves expert in this area, have discounted USA deaths of young girls who have died while driving, following the receipt of Gardasil.  On the face of it, a car crash looks highly improbable doesn’t it.

·        However, do those people realise that FDA has initiated an investigation of those car crashes on the basis that the girls driving, had developed seizures after Gardasil, and in some cases, the first seizure, appeared to coincide with them driving a car?

It’s no more improbable, than the clusters of cases of broken limbs in recipients of Menomune A in 1987, in children who had developed ataxia after receipt of that vaccine. Losing your ability to walk proper after a vaccine, could quite feasibly result in a broken arm. That “concept” should not be dismissed, just because other children break their arms.

·        Are you aware also, of data from VAERS and elsewhere, showing that girls given Gardasil in the premenstrual phase, have more serious reactions, and that their reactions get worse on a monthly basis, just before their periods?

New Zealand has what you call the National Immunisation Register (NIR).  At the moment, this register is used as a vaccine enforcement tool, it’s “purpose” being to mop up and vaccinate by any means possible, as many children as possible.

But in the NIR, you have a tool which could potentially be very useful as a “flag”.

Jasmine, Jasmine and Jai, should be on the NIR.  In fact, all the children who have received Gardasil, will be on the NIR, and conversely, most of the children who HAVE NOT received Gardasil, should be on the NIR.

Comparison of these two groups could be instructive.

If you were able to run a computer analysis on the children who have had Gardasil, how many would you find who had mysteriously died in their sleep?  You don’t know, because you can’t.

How many young girls might you find, who now have a diagnosis of CFS after Gardasil?  You don’t know, because you can’t.

How many young girls might you find who have recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder? You don’t know, because you can’t.

Why?  Because NIR is used as an enforcement tool, not an efficient modality of comparison, to see whether or not health events after vaccination are only happening in one group.

I realise that the NIR’s use is however, somewhat limited, because many adolescents who have not had Gardasil, will have had DT and we know from Tsumiyama and Toplak (see medical articles attached) that any vaccine has the potential to cause autoimmunity (and death).   Siegrist (attached) should also be taken seriously, but … how are you going to do that?

You could use NIR, if you had the “will” to do so.

BUT… in order to assess any vaccine reaction at whatever age, or autoimmunity causation properly, you would need a totally unvaccinated cohort.

Right now, this country has a significant “totally unvaccinated-by-choice ” population, which could form an ideal control group to show you what is normal in children who never have vaccines.  However these parents and children mostly stay out of sight, and well away from the medical profession.  Many, if not most of them, will not be on the NIR, because the actions of nurses turning up and browbeating the few that are on the NIR.  The stories of intimidation, have spread right throughout the non-vaccinating grapevine.

Their reluctance to deal with the NIR is reinforced by hospital staff/ medical professionals and particularly IMAC’s extremely rude and punitive approach to non-vaccinating parents in the last few years.

I suggest that it’s time you initiate a reform of medical attitudes in this country, and convince parents who don’t vaccinate their children at all, that their children can be studied as a legitimate control group, if they are not pressured to vaccinate, or character assassinated for not doing so.

However, what to me is the most important aspect of Gardasil, is the aluminium adjuvant.  See Shaw attached.  Dr Shaw sent me his 2006 paper, but it’s in two parts and is a total of 10 mb.  What makes this aluminium adjuvant even more serious, in my mind, is that while it’s clear that injected aluminium has direct access to neuronal tissue, Gardasil also contains Polysorbate 80, which is used as a coating for certain types of brain drugs, because polysorbate easily pulls those drugs through the blood brain barrier.

·        Question.  Does Polysorbate 80 increase the amount of aluminium in a Gardasil recipient’s brain?

In Jasmine’s case, you will see that some evolving symptoms in her last three months, are compatible with motor-neuron impairment in the brain.  More worryingly, her ability to make decisions, and “work things out” markedly deteriorated in the last three months of her life.

Dr Shaw suggested that at autopsy, destruction of motor neurons should be looked for in brain samples, and the Morin stain for Aluminium should be used to ascertain it’s presence in the brain.

On enquiry, it was found that New Zealand’s autopsy protocols would not accommodate either.

Which raises another question.

·        How can we have any confidence in a coroner’s finding, when the autopsy doesn’t contain tests (which a doctor knowledgeable about the action of aluminium vaccine adjuvants in animals), considers crucial, in order to solve Jasmine’s case?

Jasmine’s mother, Rhonda, is right to state that the medical profession in this country will be unlikely to come up with any explanations.  Not just because the autopsy process is basic in the extreme, but because should those tests come back positive for aluminium, given the medical profession’s track record on vaccine reactions so far, it’s presence in the brain would be guaranteed to be blamed on everything else … except the vaccine.

I have been contacted by many people who have had serious reactions after Gardasil.

The following are common to all their stories:

·        Doctors are totally dismissive that there is any possible connection with any reaction to Gardasil.

·        Doctors refused to report the reaction.

·        Doctors have nothing to offer with regard to treatment.

All of these people are now undertaking alternative medicine protocols, because there is nothing else available to them.

Some are having some success, and others are having none.

What you have right now, in New Zealand, is a similar situation as exists in UK, European Union, Canada, USA and Australia.  There are significant numbers of girls, all showing very similar patterns relating to events following Gardasil, and in nearly every case, any relationship with the Gardasil vaccine is refuted right from the moment the child, or parent opens their mouths. As a result of the medical professions consistently refusal to investigate these cases individually, and appropriately, many organisations are being set up, and websites opened to collect the data which the medical profession will not.

You may ask:

·        Why have I stayed silent about Jasmine so far?

The first reason what that it was agreed that Rhonda would be the first to go public in her own time.  The second reason was that we wanted to see whether or not the New Zealand medical and governmental system could competently deal with one very well laid out complaint to CARM, without media involvement.  This is a case about which John Key, Tony Ryall, Tariana Turia, and many others have known about, from the start.

The evidence of the last few months shows that the ability of the medical profession to effectively address vaccine reactions with integrity and honesty, is zero.  In frustration, Rhonda on her own initiative, has decided to go public, and I will now be suggesting to everyone else, that if they have the energy and emotional ability to cope with the crap that will be thrown their way by the medical profession for doing so, that their first port of call should be the media, not the medical profession

Sincerely,

Hilary Butler.

  1. Excellent open letter Hilary.

    Even Spain has withdrawn from Gardasil and they withdrew their 75,000 doses from the market as it was deemed to be not safe!

  2. Myself and others knew of the well recorded adverse reactions which happened overseas, so why didn’t Medsafe and the Ministry of Health take heed and do more to keep this tragedy from happening here in NZ?

    My heart goes out to all the girls and their families who have been and are still to be adversely affected by Gardasil. If there is any good to come out of this maybe those who had adverse reactions and didn’t relate it to Gardasil, now will and speak out.

    I point the finger of shame directly at all those involved in pushing Gardasil onto trusting people.

  4. As a high school principal I have come under significant pressure to allow gardasil vaccinations to take place in my school. My Board of trustees agreed not to allow it to happen on site which upset one local doctor who had a go at me about it. I have now been contacted by the Health board to revisit our decision as they are targeting another age group bracket with this years vaccination programme. I wish there was some informed debate in the media about this so that more parents could avoid making the mistake of having their girls vaccinated. Thank you for bringing this information to light and good luck in getting it into the mainstream media.

  5. Dr Diane Harper who headed the clinical trials for Gardasil, in a RadioNZ interview 01/08/08 asked our senior advisor of MOH Dr Allison Roberts NOT TO PROCEED with the Gardasil programme here. Dr Harper’s reasons being safety issues relating to how Gardasil was presenting in the general population. Dr Harper suggested our government take a wait and see approach as to the long term affects of Gardasil. However Dr Roberts told Dr Harper the vaccine programme would go ahead as planned. If our government had heeded the advice of Dr Harper these girls would not be in the situation they are now.

  6. “Since its release, however, there have been reports of serious adverse reactions following qHPV injection. Many articles voicing concerns about its safety cite the VAERS database. These reports have generated headlines in the mainstream media, not to mention being perpetual fodder for crank sites like NaturalNews and Whale.to., and have been a if not the major source of the concern expressed by parents.”

  8. “Even Spain has withdrawn from Gardasil.”

    No they haven’t. ONE batch was withdrawn from the market in February of 2009 after two girls fell ill after receiving a shot (a relatively wise precaution, given the possibility of contamination).

    Subsequent investigations showed the Gardasil shot was an unlikely cause for the girl’s illness.

    Gardasil is still being used in Spain.

  9. Rat Poison Chemical Found in Ingredient List For HPV Vaccine
    What do rat poison and the HPV vaccine have in common? The answer is a hazardous chemical known as sodium borate. Savvy readers may wonder what a toxin that is commonly used to kill rats is doing in the ingredient list for the HPV vaccine that is currently being pushed on girls as young as nine and is even being considered for men and boys. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t very comforting, especially for new U.S. residents for whom the HPV injection containing sodium borate is now mandated.

  13. Following a link from the article posted February 3, 2010, 8:26 am, I discovered this:

    Natalie Morton, a 14-year-old schoolgirl, has died shortly after being given the cervical cancer vaccine, prompting critics to call for the immunisation programme to be suspended.

    The teenager was one of four classmates who suffered side-effects at Blue Coat CofE School in Coventry after receiving the jab as part of the national immunisation programme. She was subsequently taken to Coventry’s University Hospital where she died during the afternoon…

    Charmaine Dunn-Myria, 15, who was in the same year as Natalie, said: “There was panic around the school when we found out what happened. Girls were in tears in the corridors and everyone was in shock.

    “I had my jab today as well and I was really worried about it and that something was going to happen to me.

    “They never told us that there was any danger in these jabs. I didn’t know you could get sick or die from them.

    “The school gave everyone a letter telling us about Natalie and the three other girls. I am just really scared about what will happen to them. I can’t believe this has happened.”

    She added: “I knew Natalie to say hello to in the corridors and she always seemed like a really nice girl, I can’t believe this has happened and she is gone.”

  15. I suspect the only thing that would be taken seriously is a formal complaint via police or legal challenge where the minister or senior medical officials are held accountable for any harm brought about by their decisions or derelict of duty.

    There must be quite a few adversely affected can they not be pulled into some class action?

  17. My daughter, Victoria, has been ill since February 2008. She had her first Gardasil vaccination in November 2007. Her second vaccination was in the beginning of February 2008. Immediately after her second vaccination, Victoria experienced severe diarrhea, vomiting and was nauseous for about eight weeks. She had blood work done many times and the pediatrician thought she had a virus. On March 31, 2008, she had her first seizure. My daughter has treated with many neurologists, all of whom have not related her seizures to Gardasil. Meanwhile, there are quite a few hundred people that I have found over the internet through my numerous postings and through Erin Brockovich, and their daughters are all experiencing the same symptoms, which occurred after the Gardasil vaccination. We have actually formed a group and share our daughters’ stories, symptoms and information. My daughter has had CT scans, MRI’s, MRA’s, EEG’s, blood work and was hospitalized at an epilepsy center in the video EEG monitoring unit for two separate weeks in May 2008 and September 2008. A follow-up MRI was performed and a spinal tap was recently attempted, but was unsuccessful. Victoria later underwent a lumbar puncture with fluoroscopy. She was put on many different seizure medications. After the normal EEG results, she was taken off all medications. Her SED rate has always been high and she does have protein in her urine, but doctors do not seem concerned. I was told that her red blood are small, but this apparently is not concerning either. She is also slightly anemic.

    My daughter has been seen by several neurologists, a psychiatrist, psychologist, several neuropsychologists, an immunologist, several infectious disease doctors, and also treated a at Wellness Center for a period of time.

    My daughter currently experiences the following symptoms: non-epileptic seizures, migraines, fainting, various tremors, twitches and numbness, intermittent leg paralysis and facial paralysis, tingling, staring or blank episodes, eye pain, joint pain, neck pain, back pain, memory loss, confusion, brain fog, regression, mood swings, hair loss and chronic fatigue. She continues to have bouts of nausea and diarrhea. She has not been in school since April 2008. My daughter can never be left home alone. She can’t go to school, go out with her friends or work or has little “normalcy” in her life. She has very few good days and always says she doesn’t feel good.

    I do not know which way to turn for help. We have seen so many doctors and I can’t seem to find anyone willing to help my daughter. There are so many other young girls who have the same exact symptoms as my daughter and the one thing that all of the girls seem to have in common is the Gardasil vaccination.

    There are no “traditional medical doctors” who relate my daughter’s symptoms to Gardasil as I am told “there is not enough information available” about the vaccine and doctors believe it to be “safe” . Most recently, a neurologist informed that he does believe that my daughter’s symptoms were brought on by the vaccine, just not in a way that he could test or prove.

    The vaccine has been available for less than three years. Meanwhile, there are some doctors who are making the correlation between Gardasil and many of the girls’ symptoms. However, the only doctors I know of right now are in California and Kansas. Other doctors are willing to “try” treatment, most of which is “homeopathic” in nature and extremely costly. Once again, I must reiterate that there are so many other young girls experiencing negative symptoms.

    I often cry and wonder if Victoria will be next one to die from adverse reactions to Gardasil.

    Please feel free to forward this information.

    Thank you for your time and attention.

  19. If something looks like a fish, smells like a fish, feels like a fish it more than likely is a fish :)

    Now about correlation and causation
    if 77% of a group who get vacinated against a disease end up getting the disease they were supposed to be protected from – It looks pretty clear to be causation not correlation
