Gardasil, the controversial drug that took the early Republican presidential debates by storm,
is back in the news as newly unearthed documents reveal 26 additional
deaths associated with the shot designed to help prevent young women
from getting a sexually transmitted disease that can lead to cervical
cancer.
The public-interest group Judicial Watch
has obtained the documents through the Freedom of Information Act from
the Food and Drug Administration detailing reports of harmful reactions
to the vaccination for human papillomavirus, also known as HPV.
"The adverse-reaction reports detail 26 new deaths reported
between Sept. 1, 2010, and Sept. 15, 2011, as well as incidents of
seizures, paralysis, blindness, pancreatitis, speech problems,
short-term memory loss and Guillain-Barré Syndrome," Judicial Watch
said.
