Do your own research into new ‘cures’

HEALTH Minister Michael Malabang recently said that a cervical cancer vaccine is safe, and has almost zero side effects.
Did he just have those words put into his mouth or were they based on research and success in other countries?
If the vaccine does not have side effects then why did India, Japan, Spain and France and others rushed to withdraw it?
Women in those countries reportedly experiences adverse side effects.
According to an article in Tokyo Times, Japan withdrew Gardasil after some 2000 people reported adverse side effects cases such as brain seizures, paralysis, blindness and sterility just to name a few. Deaths have also been reported in other countries.
A researcher of the vaccine, Dr. Diane Harper, advised parents to find out as much as possible before they allow their daughter to be vaccinated.
Dr Lucija Tomlijenovic, a molecular biologist currently researching the neurotoxic effects of aluminum vaccine adjuvants, once posed this important question:
“Is it ethical to put young women at risk of death or disabling autoimmune disease at a pre-adolescent age for a vaccine that has not yet prevented a single case of cervical cancer, a disease that may develop 20-30 years after exposure to HPV, when the same can be prevented with regular pap screening which carries no risks?”
The internet is rife with the stories of Gardasil victims and whistleblowers.
I appeal to everyone to do their own research before succumbing their daughters to this vaccine and to the Government to focus more on dealing with the root cause of cervical cancer which is prevention of promiscuous lifestyle and not just resorting to “cures” such as vaccines which may not be beneficial to the overall health and wellbeing of the country’s female populace now and in the long run.
