A quote from an article that appeared in The Village Voice on August 17, 2006
"The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) critiques vaccines and educates the public about the risk of serious reactions. According to its website, the NVIC believes that Gardasil was fast-tracked by the FDA without proper safety testing. Their chief concern is that "Gardasil contains 225 mcg of aluminum and, although aluminum adjuvants have been used in vaccines for decades, they were never tested for safety in clinical trials. . . . Animal and human studies have shown that aluminum can cause nerve cell death and that vaccine aluminum adjuvants can allow aluminum to enter the brain, as well as cause inflammation at the injection site leading to chronic joint and muscle pain and fatigue." The NVIC claims that 90 percent of study participants who received Gardasil and 85 percent who took the placebo (which, incidentally, also contained aluminum) complained of one or more adverse reactions including pain, swelling, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, and myalgia." - The Village Voice, Aug. 17, 2006
