Two Women Die After Receiving Cervical Cancer Vaccine

The FoxNews headline reads, Two Women Die After Receiving Cervical Cancer Vaccine:

The death of two young women who received the cervical cancer vaccination is causing some in the U.K. to question a strategy that calls for hundreds of thousands of schoolgirls to receive the shot next fall, the Daily Mail reports.

The young women who died received the vaccination, marketed under the name Gardasil, in Germany and Austria, respectively. The European Medicines Agency has not released their ages.

The two deaths follow the deaths of three U.S. females, ages 12, 19 and 22, who were reported to have died days after receiving Gardasil, which protects against the human papillomavirus — believed to be the leading cause of cervical cancer — was administered.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently reported that 28 women miscarried after receiving the vaccine.

This is the same drug that our Governor Perry mandated for Texas schoolgirls by executive order last year. Fortunately, that Bill was rescinded.
