And this gets to be the first thread in the forum, what a thrill!:eek:

amazing is it not, how, since 1980, all trials for vaccines have used another vaccine.

Can't possible do decent science... so that we can see it's safe as opposed to "nothing"....

AND.... what possible "best current proven intervention" could be used as a control for Gardasil? The vaccine excipients without the mock virus of course... :chair: After all, they've used them in vaccines for decades, so ipso facto, they must also be "safe"...

Don't they routinely exclude children with preexisiting conditions from these safety trials as well? ....Since no children who are not deemed "healthy" are even included, yet millions of "unhealthy" children are vaccinated I don't see how any of the studies tell us anything in terms of safety (never mind the use of another vaccine as a control) except in "haelthy" children.

Absolutely Cartersmom! The baby who died was in the placebo group, but should have been excluded from the study due to a heart condition. However, that same baby would qualify to receive that exact same vaccine (the supposed placebo) from any doctor in the land. Great system.
