A North Carolina mother is blaming Merck’s Gardasil vaccine for the litany of illnesses now harming her daughter. Posted on May 11th, WXII news in North Carolina has an eye-opening piece on Lauren Mathis and the battle she is fighting ever since her last Gardasil injection. Just one day prior, KMBC news in Kansas City aired a report of another teen seriously harmed as a result of the Gardasil vaccination. Already, over 40 deaths have been blamed on the Gardasil vaccine. Additionally, over 17,000 complaints have been filed with regards to injuries suffered following the Gardasil vaccinations.
While Merck, the manufacturer of Gardasil, would want you to believe that this vaccine can prevent cervical cancer, the ads might be slightly misleading. The ads say that the Gardasil vaccination can protect against four strains of HPV (human papilomavirus) but casually admits that they recommend annual pap smears. With their own doctors readily advocating the continued annual check ups, a mechanism that can achieve the same goals as the vaccine yet carries none of the potential side effects, the following question presents itself: What unique benefit does the Gardasil vaccine offer other than helping Merck gross an extra $1 billion per year?
Even if you are uncertain as to whether Gardasil was the cause of the injury, your statute of limitations may already be running. To avoid forfeiting your right to a claim, it’s important to contact an experienced and knowledgeable attorney as soon as possible.

Kansas City, MO. – April 14th, 2010 The Ronan Law Firm has filed a Petition in the United States Court of Federal Claims seeking damages for injuries suffered by 16 year old Alexis Wolf after she received the human papillomavirus vaccine, Gardasil. The case seeks recovery under the terms of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Gardasil is manufactured by Merck & Co., Inc. KANSASCITY.COM
Gardasil is a vaccine manufactured by Merck and Company which is given to young females between the ages of 11 and 26. The vaccine is supposed to protect against the human papillomavirus, which is thought to be related to cervical cancer. The problem with Gardasil is that a significant number of girls have suffered serious neurological and autoimmune problems after receiving the vaccine. Examples of these side effects include seizures, multiple-sclerosis like symptoms, Guillain-Barré syndrome, ALS, acute transverse myelitis, motor neuron disease and demyelinating syndromes. There are also reports of death resulting from Gardasil use. The important fact is that females can obtain protection from cervical cancer by getting regular pap smears. Currently, we are working on a number of cases in which clients have suffered serious injury after receiving the Gardasil vaccine.
