There is no requirement for proof that the adverse event be connected to Gardasil to be included.<br> <a href="http://www.hse.ie/eng/health/immunisation/whoweare/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">Dr Brenda Corcoran</a>, MB, MPH, FFPHMI, holds a diploma in leadership and quality in healthcare, and is a consultant in public health medicine responsible for the coordination of all national immunisation programmes. She is a member of the <a href="https://www.rcpi.ie/policy-and-advocacy/national-immunisation-advisory-committee/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">National Immunisation Advisory Committee</a>.<br> Anna Cannon has claimed at various times that one in 30 or 1 in 40 girls who receive Gardasil experience ‘very serious side effects‘ including ‘long-term health impairments, hospitalisation long term, wheelchair for life, death, birth defects‘. The <a href="http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/SafetyAvailability/VaccineSafety/ucm179549.htm" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">US Food and Drug Administration’s website</a> says that 772 serious adverse events were reported out of 23m doses administered, a rate of 1 in 29,792. The FDA have confirmed to me that these are reported adverse events, and there is no certainty that they were caused by the vaccination. In addition the FDA pointed out that there is both under- and over-reporting. Nobody may bother to report some adverse events, and sometimes a patient or their family might report an adverse event to the FDA, and also to their doctor who then reports it to both the FDA and the drug company, and the drug company then also reports it to the FDA, and they have had incidences where a single event accounts for three separate reports.<br> Anna Cannon has claimed that the vaccine causes birth defects. I searched the <a href="https://scholar.google.de/scholar?hl=en&q=gardasil+%22birth+defects%22&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">scientific literature for any reference</a> to this, and <a href="http://journals.lww.com/greenjournal/Abstract/2009/12000/Pregnancy_Outcomes_From_the_Pregnancy_Registry_of.4.aspx" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">found this study which</a> concluded “Rates of … major birth defects were not greater than the unexposed [to the vaccine] population rates“. I have asked Anna Cannon for her source on this.
