Gardasil vaccine is killing Wichita teen

Doctors say Gardasil is killing sixteen-year-old South High student, Gabi Swank, after getting the Gardasil vaccination last year. She’s had two mini strokes, seizures and swelling of all the tissues in her body. She even has paralysis on the right side of her face.

The drug is used to prevent the HPV virus which causes cervical cancer. The makers of Gardasil recommend girls and young women ages 9-26 get the vaccine to protect them from the virus that causes cervical cancer.

Twenty-eight women have reportedly died from Gardasil.

The CDC and the FDA say they have received thousands of reports of adverse reactions to the vaccine, but the government adds, it continues to find that the benefits of Gardasil outweigh the risks.
