UK girl dies after Cervarix vaccination

A 14-year-old British girl has died a few hours after receiving a cervical cancer vaccine Cervarix.

Health officials in Coventry, about 160km northwest of London, said on Tuesday they had quarantined the batch of vaccine given at the school attended by Natalie Morton.


Morton died after being given the Cervarix vaccine. The vaccine protects against two strains of the human papilloma virus that causes cervical cancer.


Authorities began offering it to teenage girls last year. The immunisation program was controversial because of suggestions that it would encourage younger girls to be sexually active.


Caron Grainger, director for public health at Coventry City Council, says an autopsy will be carried out.

Oh my. 0_o

That is rather odd to hear of. I didn't know that one of the side effects was dying. =0

But seriously how horrible is that? That poor girl may have had nothing wrong with her up until then.

I thought the same thing :/ She hadn't even done anything wrong, or anything. One minute she was alive and then she wasn't, just because she was getting an injection to protect her.

Typical media frenzy, they choose the one time where a lot of females are getting the injection then they come out with that. Had they waited a day later to find out why, they would have realised she had a serious underlying medical condition, although they don't know what it was. As far as I'm aware, she went to school and got the jab anyway knowing she was ill, I don't know if she was on any medical treatment but if she was I know you're not supposed to have vaccinations without seeing a doctor.

Either way, whilst the vaccination may have been the trigger, it wasn't the cause of her death.

Unfortunately, the media is such that it rarely ever paints an unbiased picture of a story and, in turn, does not manage to get all of the facts to the public. I'm usually skeptical when it comes to cases like this; especially when it deals with a persons medical history, which is going to remain private for obvious reasons (that is, at least until an autopsy report is done and considering whether the threat was due to the actual shot itself, posing a threat to other females getting the shot). I guess that wasn't the case, here.

Actually, they found out what the cause was. She had a tumour. Was in the papers yesterday and she could've died at any time.

Of course many papers (*cough*DailyMail*cough*) have reported the real cause of her death with much less fanfare than they did when there was a chance it might have been the vaccine. Nice to see them happy to cause a needless scare like they did with MMR.

It's good that they reported that. I've been hearing that in the US lately, people have been discouraging the use of vaccines for various reasons. I think Jenny McCarthy (a medical expert ofcourse) has been going around saying that they cause autism I believe. This story would have been used as ammunition.

I know the media hype up stories, but it's still sad to hear about young people dying with their whole lives ahead of them.

 

[Amizon]

It is quite tragic. I almost started crying. Not just because they found out it wasn't the vaccine, but the fact it was something so ordinary. I don't think the cervical cancer jab has been tested out much in my opinion. Even some of the girls who had it with her were sent home for being dizzy and sick. >_>

Edit: If anyone needs proof of it being a tumour, look no further.

Dizzy and sick > Cervical cancer.

The alleged link between immunizations and autism has been disproven on many different occasions. Jenny McCarthy now is more focused on dietary causes of autism. She has had some striking successes by removing gluten, wheat, and high fructose corn syrup from her son's diet.

Meh, I never got dragged into the whole media stories, the only papers I read are the Guardian and The Independent, and being the two most educated papers they managed to make a story without sending all school and college females into a panic about how they're going to die. What's worse is the shit on radio that everyone going to work hears.
Especially on the LBC (London Broadcasting Company) and that wanker James O'Brien.
