Comments on: Cervical cancer jab: Google fuelling unnecessary fears

Also, I notice that in yesterday's Express story claiming the vaccine is in fact deadlier than cervical cancer, Dr Richard Halvorsen is quoted as saying: “One minute Natalie is an apparently healthy girl, she has the vaccine and within two hours she is dead. We are told she had a terrible cancer inside her that killed her but this is implausible. If you have cancer you have symptoms. Clearly public health doctors are desperate to turn the debate away from the vaccine as a possible cause.”

Is he suggesting that they lied about the post mortem to cover something up? Does he have any evidence of this?

Thanks Karen. The thing that most worried me about Dr Halvorsen is that in his article he said "Yet the sudden death of Coventry schoolgirl Natalie Morton after a jab against cervical cancer highlights the reality that vaccination programmes are not without their risks .... The tragic irony for Natalie was that the injection may have triggered a reaction far more lethal than any future, distant threat of a comparatively rare disease." This is all rubbish. The injection did no such thing, and her death reveals nothing about the 'risks' of this vaccine. Shouldn't a scientist wait for some evidence before writing this sort of stuff? Also, I note on his website that he's into homeopathy. Not very scientific is it? Plus I see that he says: "I offer the single vaccines as an alternative to the MMR vaccine. I do not insist that children have all three, rather I encourage parents to make their own informed decision on what vaccines they wish to offer their child." When the MMR vaccine is safe and saves lives, isn't this a bit odd too? Finally, let's not go into the fact that his article for the Mail says: "In 2005, just 911 women died of the disease" as words fail me at this point.

Hello bloggers

I appreciate that you take issue with Dr Halvorsen. But can I point that what he says is based on 6 years study of the relevant medical research for his book The Truth about Vaccines, and over 25 years as a GP. In the interest of science, and fairness, you may want to read his full arguments first. He is one of the few people who has reservations about vaccines that pro-vaccine experts are happy to debate the issue with.

Kind regards, Karen Woods

I think the public have every right to be concerned. I live in Coventry and know that another girl at the same school had problems as well. The authorities should halt the jabs until they get the findings back from the labs regarding the batch of vaccines. Natalie was said to have a malignant tumour but she did die after taking the vaccine and that's a fact.

I found the backtracking interesting.

This article by the daily mail
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1217280/Cervical-cancer-jab-Natalie-Morton-died-chest-tumour-vaccine.html

Changed their headline from:

Cancer jabs programme is 'mass experiment' says researcher as health officials insist vaccine teenagers is safe

Cervical cancer jab girl died from unrelated chest tumour as researcher calls vaccine plan a 'mass experiment'

Changed their angle, but still made the researcher look like an idiot

This Mail article

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1216942/Cervical-cancer-vaccine-programme-chaos-death-schoolgirl-14-hours-jab.html

Had the headline
Cervical cancer vaccine programme in chaos after death of schoolgirl 14 hours after jab

but changed it to

Health Trust claims cervical cancer jab girl could have been killed by 'underlying health condition'

Just to let you know that the marketing team here at NHS Choices are aware of the adwords campaign wording and are looking to make it more appropriate given the current scare. We've got lots of content on cervical cancer & HPV, but nothing 'newsy' at the moment which would supplant the newspaper headlines.
The best page to push from an SEO perspective would be this one on NHS Choices - http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/hpv-vaccination/Pages/Introduction.aspx - good video on it too - anything that can be done to bump this up would be great!
