Here I describe neurological symptoms of 62 girls who were immunized against the human papilloma virus HPV. Most participants 61 are Colombian and received the quadrivalent HPV vaccine Gardasil and a girl from Mexico received the bivalent Cervarix vaccine.
The average age was This survey reveals an overall pattern of peripheral nervous system damage as demonstrated by complaints of inflammatory and neuropathic pain syndromes in the head, back, chest, arms and legs.
There were also sensory and motor syndromes with upper and lower limb numbness and tingling paraesthesia , muscle weakness and difficulty walking paresis accompanied by tremors, muscle spasms and twitches abnormal movements. Most symptoms appeared after the second vaccine dose, which agrees with greater antibody titers seen in booster dose immunizations.
This evidence prompts me to propose an autoimmune hypersensitivity type II reaction triggered by Gardasil whose batch-specific antigens await further research. The general disease pattern described here is consistent with a demyelinating disorder that might not apply to every girl therefore every one of them should be diagnosed and treated individually.
This humble survey hopes to uncover leads to help the investigation sought by the Colombian Higher Courts. We must acknowledge the role played by Health Minister Alejandro Gaviria whose indiscriminate massive immunization campaign as well as absolute neglect and outward mishandling of the epidemic of Serious Adverse Events makes him worthy of consideration for the Nobel Prize in the category of Crimes against Humanity.
