Previous to COVID-19, I thought of Gardasil (for HPV) to be essentially the most harmful and unjustifiable vaccine available on the market. It’s actually exceptional what number of parallels will be discovered between it and the COVID-19 vaccines, so I really feel it’s critically essential for this already forgotten story to be instructed.
Assist Pay for Vioxx (HPV)
The default technique in medication for any kind of ache or harm is to throw NSAIDs at it — making the medicine immensely worthwhile. Sadly, they usually don’t assist that a lot (which really will increase their gross sales since sufferers then want extra of them), and they’re pretty harmful (e.g., NSAIDs kill tens of 1000’s of People annually and significantly injure way more1 — which is unlucky since DMSO safely and successfully treats all of the situations NSAIDs are used for).
To create a brand new market, NSAIDs like Vioxx had been created that had been imagined to be safer … however really had an enormous stroke and coronary heart assault threat (that Dr. Mercola warned the general public about in 1999). Nonetheless, regardless of proof of hurt persevering with to mount, Merck and the FDA saved on protecting it up, and when the drug was lastly pulled, Vioxx was estimated to have killed 120,000 folks.2
Sadly, because the FDA scientist who fought to get it off the market testified, that is enterprise as standard, and one other Vioxx catastrophe was inevitable.
In 2004, the FDA official who acquired Vioxx pulled completely described the gross regulatory failure with the COVID vaccines. His must-see testimony exposes the FDA’s pay-to-play setting that allow’s harmful medicine sail via and by no means be withdrawn. A🧵 pic.twitter.com/GgDhIiqoTV

Merck finally needed to pay a 5 billion Vioxx settlement3 (whereas the CEO obtained a $37.8 million “performance-based” bonus4), main Merck wanting funds. This was solved by the a long time of analysis lastly yielding an HPV vaccine,5 which Merck (and the FDA) instantly went to work advertising and marketing via an “award-winning”6 promoting blitz that satisfied each American they wanted to be scared to dying of cervical most cancers (a reasonably uncommon most cancers).
That is a part of the “award successful” marketing campaign Merck used to persuade the world we had been at a grave threat of dying from cervical most cancers (they weren’t) and that their pricey vaccine would stop it (it nonetheless hasn’t)

It labored, with 25.1% of adolescent ladies getting Gardasil in 2007, 53.8% by 2011,7 and by 2023, 79.3%.8 It was some of the costly vaccines available on the market and shortly grew to become a number one income for Merck (e.g., 1.87 billion9 in 2023).
Nonetheless, because of its value (just like the COVID vaccine), it required hefty authorities subsidies which included money prizes to get the vaccine and a 40 million greenback HHS grant10 for creating the best gross sales script docs may use to push the vaccine on “hesitant” sufferers.
Observe: Due to its excessive value, it regularly requires11 state or federal monetary assist for docs to supply it (identical to COVID-19).
Is Gardasil Efficient?
The rationale Merck needed to aggressively market the concern of cervical most cancers was that it was a lot much less of a hazard than it had been previously, because it had largely been eradicated by pap smears.12
Moreover, its profit for cervical most cancers was completely theoretical (Merck even satisfied the FDA “learning most cancers itself is not possible, as a result of it takes too lengthy and it disadvantages too many ladies”) and regardless of 80% of ladies getting it, it nonetheless has not lowered cervical most cancers:
Gardasil’s advertising and marketing additionally overshadowed the opposite two main threat elements for cervical most cancers — smoking13 and contraception capsules14 — have largely been overshadowed by the concentrate on HPV. Remarkably, the decline in smoking completely mirrors the decline in cervical most cancers dying.
Illness Provocation
Vaccines place the physique beneath stress and divert the immune response to deal with the vaccine’s stimulus. If the immune system is already making an attempt to include one other an infection, this may be fairly problematic and permit the prevailing an infection to spiral uncontrolled. This phenomenon has been recognized about since 1893 and repeatedly demonstrated with many alternative infections15 (e.g., polio and typhus).
In flip, I’ve misplaced rely of what number of occasions I’ve seen folks round me get the flu after receiving a flu shot, and through COVID, extreme instances of COVID typically adopted receiving the vaccine.16
The HPV vaccine additionally does this, with many reviews of people creating or worsening HPV-related infections, together with genital warts, and Gardasil’s trial information displaying it made present infections extra prone to change into cancerous:17
Observe: An equivalent impact was additionally discovered with GlaxoSmithKline’s competing HPV vaccine.18
Regardless of these considerations, prescreening for HPV earlier than vaccination is not beneficial. As an alternative, the “resolution” has been to decrease the age of vaccination.
DNA Contamination
Up to now, I’ve argued that the explanations vaccines could make you “change into sick” is as a result of they weaken the immune system and make you extra prone to catching the precise an infection or having an already present an infection spiral uncontrolled. Whereas I consider that’s the major problem, there may be additionally one other downside — manufacturing vaccines is an inherently soiled course of.
Due to this contaminated “scorching” tons will inevitably get launched that sicken or kill many19 (a recurring downside which was finally “solved” by the federal government giving authorized immunity to the producers).
Producing genetically modified vaccines (e.g., Gardasil) requires artificial DNA (plasmids) that regularly aren’t filtered out of the ultimate product20 (e.g., this can be a recurring problem with scorching vaccine tons21). Worse nonetheless, these plasmids are typically combined with adjuvants that convey them into the cells22 and include a harmful a part of the SV40 virus which pulls them into the nucleus,23 permitting them to combine into the human genome (e.g., this has been demonstrated with the COVID vaccines24).
Observe: The early polio vaccines had been contaminated with the most cancers inflicting SV40 virus, however regardless of warnings to not, the federal government nonetheless launched it,25 finally leading to hundreds of thousands of cancers.26 Sadly, the present COVID vaccine most cancers wave dwarfs even that:27
Likewise, with Gardasil, there have been quite a few causes the place a younger vaccinated woman (e.g., one who died out of the blue) had been found to have HPV plasmid DNA of their our bodies28 and people plasmids have been present in each HPV vaccine the place it was examined for29 (resulting in the federal government to change from denying their presence to insisting they had been “protected”).30
Observe: It’s fairly unlucky a carcinogenic vaccine was in a position to be marketed to stop a (pretty uncommon) most cancers — particularly since Gardasil (just like the mRNA vaccines) was by no means examined for its most cancers threat and trial information confirmed elevated leukemia charges.31
Security vs Efficacy
Since all vaccines are seen as “protected and efficient,” regulators prioritize how robust an antibody response they elicit, resulting in producers excessively stimulating the immune system on the expense of security (e.g., this was why the COVID vaccines gave so many individuals autoimmune problems).
In Gardasil’s case, it used a really highly effective (however untested32) adjuvant that gave 49.6% of individuals in Merck’s trial33 a “New Medical Situation,” together with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a number of sclerosis, and different extreme autoimmune problems.
For reference, that is what’s acknowledged in Merck’s package deal insert34 for the vaccine, which mentioned all of the (reported) autoimmune problems that developed all through its medical trials.
Observe: One of many key mechanisms of harm behind most vaccines is them collapsing the physiologic zeta potential of the physique35 — inflicting blood cells to clump collectively and triggering microstrokes all through the physique. And essentially the most dangerous vaccines that ever hit the market had been uniquely poisonous to zeta potential (which in Gardasil’s case got here from its aluminum adjuvant, and COVID vaccine as a result of [mass-produced] spike protein’s optimistic cost density).
Because of this, treating these accidents typically requires restoring the physiologic zeta potential. Moreover, these with hypermobility (e.g., Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) are significantly weak to pharmaceutical accidents and sometimes additionally require focused dietary supplementation to revive their ligaments and well being.
This terribly excessive charge of autoimmunity has triggered massive numbers of Gardasil recipients to change into significantly and typically completely disabled from the vaccine. In flip, there are literally thousands of pages of heart-wrenching tales (not that totally different from the COVID vaccine accidents) about how Gardasil ruined many individuals on the prime of their lives.
Observe: One of the vital frequent unintended effects of Gardasil (and COVID vaccination) was POTS (a debilitating dysfunction the place extreme lightheadedness happens when standing up which might typically set off deadly automotive accidents — and which coincidentally was a typical reason for dying within the Gardasil trials).
Many have since concluded this illness was partially an autoimmune dysfunction as Gardasil victims have been discovered to have antibodies to the autonomic receptors that are imagined to convey blood to the pinnacle.36,37,38 POTS seems to be because of an impaired zeta potential39 (one thing Gardasil was additionally infamous for doing), as restoring physiologic zeta potential40 typically considerably improves POTS.
For those who take a step again, it’s utterly unconscionable {that a} vaccine that gives nearly no profit could possibly be accredited whereas concurrently giving not less than 2.3% of the recipients a critical lifelong autoimmune sickness. To get round this, Merck doctored the trials by having the “placebo” be the vaccine’s damaging adjuvant.
As such, whereas an enormous charge of hurt was noticed in those that took the vaccine, it wasn’t that a lot increased than what occurred within the “placebo” group (and thus “by likelihood”) and therefore deemed to be “unrelated” to the vaccine.
Infertility
Sadly, autoimmunity wasn’t the one problem. For instance, since this vaccine was meant to be given to each lady on the earth shortly earlier than they grew to become in a position to have kids, the primary cause to not convey it to market could be if it had a fertility threat. But, think about what Merck’s unique medical information confirmed:41
For Gardasil 9 (a more moderen HPV vaccine with extra strains), 17 of the 62 medical trial42 pregnancies (27.4%) resulted in a miscarriage.
Observe: For Gardasil, the miscarriage charge was even better if vaccination occurred inside 30 days of conception.43 Likewise, this problem was additionally seen with Gardasil’s start defects.44
Deaths
A lot consideration has been dropped at the explosion of “unexplained” (and sometimes sudden) deaths that occurred after the COVID vaccines hit the market within the youngest and the healthiest members of society:
Nonetheless, considerably much less consideration has been given to the truth that within the preliminary Gardasil trials, out of 21,458 10 vaccine recipients and seven “placebo” recipients died45 together with 7 from automotive accidents46 (which will be triggered by POTS inflicting drivers to go out). Nonetheless, regardless of the Gardasil dying charge (8.5 per 10,000) being nearly twice the background dying charge in ladies and younger ladies (4.37), the FDA was not involved.
Observe: The precise anticipated dying charge was possible decrease since younger and wholesome ladies had been chosen for the trials.
Danger vs Profit
Once you step again and have a look at the information, you will note that Gardasil’s risk-benefit ratio is surprising. Within the best-case state of affairs, Gardasil saved 0.6 lives per 10,000 in England and 0.2 per 10,000 within the U.S. Nonetheless, it killed not less than 4.13 per 10,000 recipients — younger folks, simply beginning their lives. On high of that, it triggered critical autoimmune problems in not less than 230 per 10,000, impacted fertility, and triggered a myriad of extra refined long-term issues.
That’s an terrible risk-to-benefit ratio. I’ve thus come to consider a lot of recent medication is akin to a gross sales funnel, pushing sufferers into pricey, lifelong remedies on the expense of their well being.
Luckily, that is now a a lot better consciousness of those predatory techniques. For instance, Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson just lately mentioned the contraception funnel, the hazards of antidepressants and the hyperlink between SSRIs and mass shootings (or different types of psychotic violence):
Pharma’s aim is to get you on as many medicine as potential, so many broadly used ones trigger accidents that require extra capsules.

Gardasil is an ideal instance. Its neurological unintended effects can result in psychiatric points, pushing younger ladies additional down the medical gross sales pipeline — one thing I’ve seen firsthand. Many sufferers additionally develop pricey lifelong autoimmune problems after the vaccine, however most don’t join the dots till I level it out.
This highlights two essential factors: vaccines typically carry dangers that far outweigh their advantages, and even when accidents are evident in trials (as they had been with Gardasil), regulators nonetheless approve them. Sadly, this mirrors what we noticed with the COVID-19 vaccines.
Observe: I put collectively a abstract of the dangers and advantages of every childhood vaccine for fogeys right here (e.g., Gardasil is without doubt one of the worst ones47).
Gardasil’s Scientific Trials
Beforehand, I argued Gardasil’s medical trials, had many parallels to an abusive relationship48 as in each:
- The abuser will initially say you’re the most fantastic particular person conceivable for coming to them and offer you quite a few lavish guarantees to entice you into their entice.
- As soon as they have you ever ensnared, start to return on each promise and frequently gaslight you49 as they harm you (e.g., past denying individuals accidents, investigators won’t ever enable accidents to enter the trial document no matter how a lot the individuals strive).
- Then, upon getting nothing to supply them, they are going to discard you and depart you alone to choose up the mess.
Sadly, such a abuse in analysis has change into so normalized that by the point COVID-19 got here round, as trial whistleblowers confirmed, not solely did it occur once more, however the authorities really sided with the abuser.
Regulatory Response
On account of how poisonous Gardasil was, as soon as it hit the market, the FDA and CDC had been deluged with a wave of reviews of hostile reactions to it. Nonetheless, quite than acknowledge them, they doubled down on the vaccine and concocted an more and more elaborate sequence of steps to defend it.
Observe: This was why I knew they’d do the very same factor with the COVID vaccines. Even now that their hurt has change into so widespread, nearly all of America believes they’re killing folks50 and there’s no potential justification to maintain on pushing the vaccine (e.g., the unique pressure it “protects you towards” is extinct, the infinite boosters make you extra prone to get COVID,51 and now only a few People are even getting them).52
For instance, in 2009, in response to widespread publicity detailing extreme hostile occasions attributed to HPV vaccines, the FDA and CDC initiated a examine53 to look at Gardasil’s security profile by analyzing all VAERS reviews filed since Gardasil’s mid-2006 approval via the tip of 2008.
The examine discovered54 that “the VAERS reporting charge for [Gardasil] is triple the speed for all different vaccines mixed.” Moreover, the examine discovered that 68% of the reviews had been submitted by representatives of Merck, Gardasil’s producer, most of which wanted to be accomplished or extra correct, and 90% of which required extra data important for conducting medical assessments. Lastly, the authors additionally famous that VAERS suffered from underreporting.
Regardless of these purple flags, the authors as a substitute declared55 that the excessive charge of hostile occasions “displays better public consideration to HPV,” which was purportedly “stimulated” by “widespread media protection” and that Gardasil’s “post-licensure security profile” as calculated from VAERS information is “broadly constant” with security information collected in its medical trials, whereas concurrently failing to assist these assertions.
Not surprisingly, following the examine’s publication, information organizations and well being authorities such because the CDC and WHO repeatedly referenced this “examine” as proof that Gardasil was protected. Sound acquainted?
Conclusion
Sometimes, when a predatory trade needs to do one thing unconscionable, it can start by testing it on a bunch that doesn’t fairly have the power to battle again, after which as soon as this will get normalized, enact it on a much wider scale.
For instance, all of the horrific playbook Fauci enacted upon America throughout COVID-19 was nearly equivalent to what he acquired away with doing to the homosexual neighborhood throughout AIDS and as soon as Gardasil was accredited, American organizations instantly started conducting unscrupulous medical trials abroad that tricked younger ladies into becoming a member of after which discarded them as soon as they had been injured (finally resulting in a scathing rebuke by India’s authorities).56
Sadly, the Gardasil debacle was not the one take a look at run. As an example, the broadly opposed childhood vaccine mandates57 pushed throughout America after the California measles outbreak in 2015 to 2016, mirrored the COVID-19 mandates.
Likewise, the disastrous navy anthrax vaccine marketing campaign (which ended up being so devastating legal guidelines had been handed to make mandating experimental vaccines on our troopers unlawful) finally was a beta-test for the horrific acts dedicated upon our troopers with the COVID vaccines.
This troubling pattern isn’t new; it will probably even be traced again to the smallpox vaccines, which had been poorly examined and sometimes triggered outbreaks, prompting stricter mandates. But, when public pushback led to the reversal of those mandates, it resulted in an revolutionary strategy that finally eradicated smallpox.
As we speak, we’re at a pivotal crossroads. The pharmaceutical trade’s greed has spiraled uncontrolled, however public sentiment is shifting towards these insane practices. There is a rising motion — Making America Wholesome Once more — that exhibits individuals are able to reclaim their well being.
Contemplate this current change the place the co-chair of Trump’s transition instructed a hostile CNN host RFK Jr. had offered him on the hazards of vaccines and that they intend to have RFK Jr. repair this and make our youngsters wholesome once more:
I hope issues like this are making the vaccine cartel notice they tousled massive time by mandating the COVID-19 vaccines.
The worst half is that Trump’s transition chief is barely scratching the floor of how a lot injury the childhood vaccines have performed to the society. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/KqsqOMWf8N

After years of watching the pharmaceutical trade’s abuses, I as soon as thought change was not possible and by no means as soon as imagined an change like this might happen on nationwide tv. Now, I see a novel alternative tomorrow to problem the established order. That hope fuels my dedication to this trigger, and I am extremely grateful for what everybody’s doing to ultimately repair this dysfunctional paradigm.
Creator’s Observe: That is an abridged model of an extended article concerning the risks of Gardasil (e.g., it features a European tv program about its victims) that covers many different forgotten aspects of that tragedy that parallel the COVID-19 vaccine catastrophe. That article and its extra references will be learn right here.
