I have reprinted below some facts regarding the Gardasil vaccine and HPV that I prepared for my testimony before the Florida House of Reps last year so that you may understand that you are certainly not alone in acquiring HPV and there is a recent study that concludes that HPV+ SCC responds better to treatment and has a lesser chance of re occurrence than non HPV SCC so I don't know where you saw literature that contradicts that?

Understand this was compiled a year ago.

Fact-This vaccine was/is the most tested vaccine in US history.

Fact-This vaccine has been approved and endorsed by the FDA.

Fact-The FDA has followed 25,000 females who were given 75,000 shots of the vaccine for 5 years without one, as in ONE, complication except local irritations such as redness, swelling, muscle discomfort at the shot site similar to many vaccine shots.

Fact- Over 2,000,000 doses of this vaccine have already been administered over the last 2 years privately without ONE major reaction as explained above.

Fact- From the time Jonas Salk discovered the polio vaccine until the time it was MANDATED only 2 years had passed.

Fact- Each year millions of flu vaccines are administered WITHOUT ANY testing. Each year the flu vaccine is quickly produced based upon what flu strain the experts THINK will affect the US and within 6 months time it is developed and mass produced.

Fact- Unlike most, if not all vaccines, the HPV vaccine is produced synthetically and does not contain live or dead virus cells. Our body produces natural antibodies that are present when the actual virus invades the body and are then killed.

Fact- The vaccine was produced to kill HPV strains 6 and 11 which cause 90% of genital warts and 16 and 18 which are Class One Carcinogens that are known to cause 70% of all cervical cancers, 60% of all Oral Pharyngeal cancer and cancers of the Larynx, Anus and Penis and Oral Cavity.

Fact- The vaccine has been proven 100% EFFECTIVE in protecting the female body against those 4 strains. Male testing is currently underway.

Fact- In the US alone there are already over 20 million people infected by HPV and 6.2 million additional people are infected each and every year by HPV.

Fact- HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus in the US.

Fact- By age 50 at least 80% of women will have acquired the HPV virus. This is known because their bodies have produced the antibodies. The CDC estimates that 80% of the entire US population will have HPV at some point in their lives. How many will have the oncogenic (cancer causing) forms is unknown.

Fact- This year 11,000 new cases of cervical cancer will be diagnosed in the US and 3700 will die.

Fact- Over 9000 new cases of HPV related cancers in AMERICAN MEN each year are diagnosed in the US and half will die.

Fact- The HPV virus may lie dormant for DECADES before cellular changes are seen, when, as we know, it may be too late to deal with. Many HPV positive cancers are not found until they are already a Stage III or IV.

Fact- A Florida Bill would have required insurance companies to cover the shots and also would have come under the FREE SHOTS PROGRAM for those without insurance. ( Do you suppose the insurance lobby spent a bunch of money to defeat this????)

Fact- No one argued financial aspects of the Bill.

Fact- The current incident rate of cervical cancer in Florida is 26% higher than the US average.

Fact- The Bill allowed an OPT IN - OPT OUT feature that simply required the parent to sign a form stating they did not want their child to get the vaccine. Parental rights were not usurped. This would have at least focused their attention and required a positive response either way.

Fact- In 1997 Florida MANDATED that school children receive the Hepatitis B vaccine which is also a STD without any fanfare or opposition.

Please ask yourself how could ANYONE object to the passage of this or similar bills.
