conditions,

um, but did, did begin to develop some things.

You know, "Oh, I have a rash. Hmm, wonder what that's

about. Um,

I feel fatigue. I feel dizzy." And she

reported this within a few days of her

third shot,

and within 18 days, uh, of the Gardasil shot, she was found

dead in her bed.

She was going back to Bard to

be trained for a job that she'd have there on campus during the

summer.

vaccine. This could be really important, especially in countries that don't have

any screening with it." But then I started looking at what isn't

covered, and I

looked at the fact that Gardasil doesn't last long enough to

prevent cervical cancer.

Vaccine.

In the concept of cervical cancer prevention, what I think is

important for people to know is that Gardasil is an option,

but that's all it is, is an option.
