In response to the article about the new girl child HVP vaccine, I am pleading with parents not to consider it. The amount of guilt which I feel daily, having consented to the vaccination, is not worth the stress for any parent. My now 13-year-old daughter’s experience has left me extremely wary of any future vaccinations.
In 2015, Kate received two doses of Cervarix, the first in February, the second in August. There were no real ill effects, except that Kate started complaining about pains in her legs. I dismissed the pain as growing pains, as she is a very tall girl. In August 2017, two years after her second vaccination, she had a throat infection. She missed a test at school so my husband and I decided to take her to the paediatrician, mostly just to get a doctor’s certificate. After the examination, my husband and I were walking out of the examination room when the paediatrician called us back to shown us the swelling on the side of her neck (only on one side – apparently, swelling on both sides shows normal hormonal activity for a young teen girl). To be honest, I couldn’t see it, which makes it scary – how long had she been suffering? We then went for blood tests and scans and eventually we received a diagnosis – Kate has Hashimoto’s disease.
Kate is extremely active, swimming etc. I had thought that perhaps it was chlorine in the pools or something completely unrelated to vaccinations that made her ill. But when I thought back to her vaccinations as a baby, it was her 10-week vaccinations which caused her the most trouble. She was sleeping through from four weeks, but after the 10-week vaccinations she began waking during the night until she was about two years old. It is believed that the aluminum adjuvant in the vaccines could very well be the problem.
Take a look at the work of Professor Chris Exley. He has released some very interesting research on the subject, which you can see here:
I consider that we got off extremely lightly with my daughter’s Hashimoto’s disease. I am hoping and praying that there won’t be any further consequences from this relatively unnecessary vaccination.
