While cervical cancer is strongly related to the transmission of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) even the National Cancer Institute says that, "direct causation has not been demonstrated”. There are even FDA documents that support this and that the link with cervical cancer and HPV is limited to the fact that those who get the cancer are then more vulnerable to other pathogens. Therefore the cervical cancer vaccine is based purely on untested assumption of what might cause the cancer.
This vaccine also has not been evaluated for it's own carcinogenic (cancer causing) potential. Clinical trial results however a fairly scary. The US National Cancer Institute website states that no one who received all three vaccine shots developed a HPV-16 infection. However, “twenty-two women in that group did develop cervical abnormalities that can lead to cancer”. By the way, these trails are done on women who have never been previously exposed to HPV, so if they've got it it's a pretty good bet they got it from the vaccine itself. The vaccine has been proven to be completely useless to women who have already been exposed to HPV and there is also evidence that Gardasil may increase the risk of precancerous cervical lesions by an alarming 44.6% in some women.
I think most vaccines are dodgy but this one, rotavirus and the hep b ones are at the very top of my list. Actually, that's not true. They're all at the top of my list, but this one's flaws are far more obvious.
