More needless needles aimed at your daughters

When it comes to vaccines, newer isn't better. It's just newer.

I've already warned you about Merck's deadly vaccine Gardasil, which supposedly protects little girls from some strains of the virus that causes cervical cancer. Now, GlaxoSmithKline's own version of it, Cervarix, is one step closer to U.S. approval.

This is one market that doesn't need competition -- it needs to be shut down for good.

You know I don't like vaccines to begin with, but these two are particularly awful. Not only do they come with all the usual risks of vaccines and more, they're not even all that effective against cervical cancer.

But who cares about effectiveness -- Big Pharma certainly doesn't. They just want to make as much as money as they can off those needles (around $400 per patient) before the other guy beats them to it.

Gardasil, of course, has been linked to a number of serious illnesses, including a form of Lou Gehrig's disease, and numerous deaths. The CDC has so far collected more than 14,000 reports of adverse events following Gardasil vaccinations, ranging from fevers, headaches, and fainting, to paralysis and serious nerve and muscle disorders.

Cervarix has a laundry list of its own side effects that aren't too pleasant either: pain, fatigue, fever, infections, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. And this is what we know about it before it's even had a chance to hit the market here.

In a truly bizarre twist, the same FDA panel that's pushing Cervarix forward has approved Gardasil for the prevention of genital warts in boys as young as 9 years old. That's right – they want to subject these boys to those same awful side effects for a non- serious, non-life-threatening condition that can go away on its own.

The real gall of it is that these compan ies aren't just pushing for their drugs to be approved -- they want them to be FORCED on little girls (and soon, no doubt, little boys) from coast to coast, regardless of what you or even your doctor wants, through mandatory vaccinations.

But when they come calling for your kid with that dirty needle, you be sure to tell them to stick it.
