  • Dr. Peter Gøtzsche's book reveals how Merck and drug regulators hid significant adverse effects of the HPV vaccine.
  • Cases of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), neurological disorders, and even deaths have been linked to Gardasil.
  • The FDA and EMA have been criticized for their lack of rigorous safety monitoring and transparency.
  • Dr. Gøtzsche's deposition highlights the corporate manipulation and regulatory passivity in drug and vaccine safety.
  • The book calls for an open and transparent debate on the safety and efficacy of HPV vaccines, challenging the infallibility of regulatory bodies.
On September 1, 2025, a groundbreaking book by Danish physician and researcher Dr. Peter Gøtzsche, titled "How Merck and Drug Regulators Hid Serious Harms of the HPV Vaccine," was published. The book dives deep into the murky waters of pharmaceutical regulation and corporate malfeasance, shedding light on the severe and often hidden consequences of the Gardasil vaccine. This exposé is crucial for anyone concerned about the integrity of vaccine safety and the reliability of regulatory bodies. Dr. Gøtzsche's latest work is a scathing indictment of corporate and regulatory practices surrounding the Gardasil vaccine. Gardasil, marketed as a life-saving vaccine against cervical cancer, was rushed to market in 2006 without meeting any FDA criteria for fast-track approval. The FDA admitted a year later that it lacked the scientific capacity to properly monitor the drug's safety. Merck, the vaccine's manufacturer, engaged in aggressive marketing campaigns, heavy lobbying and PR strategies that often rooted more in fear than evidence. Despite early warnings, numerous reports of serious adverse effects began to surface soon after Gardasil's launch. These included cases of POTS, neurological disorders, fainting spells and even deaths. However, these facts were often hidden or dismissed by the manufacturers and researchers in their employ.

Documented evidence of severe injuries

Below are just a few of the many documented, irrefutable cases of severe injury due to the HPV vaccine.

Paula Aldea: Now relying on wheelchair

Paula Aldea, a previously healthy young girl, received her first HPV vaccination on May 26, 2022. Less than a month later, she experienced severe back pain and numbness, leading to a complete loss of sensation in her legs. Despite initial dismissals by medical professionals, Paula's condition was eventually recognized as a severe autoimmune response caused by the vaccine. She now relies on a wheelchair and receives monthly welfare payments.

A 16-year-old American girl: Total vision loss

A 2010 report in the Journal of Child Neurology detailed the case of a 16-year-old girl who experienced rapid and complete vision loss within 48 hours of receiving her second HPV vaccination. The girl was diagnosed with a demyelinating disease affecting her optic nerve junction and parts of the brain. Despite recovery from other symptoms, her vision has not been restored, leaving her with significant visual impairment.

A 20-year-old German woman: Severe encephalitis

A 2009 report in Neurology described a 20-year-old woman who developed severe encephalitis within 28 days of her second Gardasil vaccination. The diagnosis was based on consistent brain imaging abnormalities, including edema and bleeding. The authors concluded that the young woman’s brain disease was induced by Gardasil-mediated immune overactivation.

Global impact: Stories from Australia and beyond

It isn't just in America either. The damage is happening all around the world.

Australian women: Demyelinating nerve syndromes

A 2009 report in the Multiple Sclerosis Journal documented five patients who presented with multifocal or atypical demyelinating syndromes within 21 days of receiving the Gardasil vaccine. These cases were notable for their temporal association with immunization and the atypical or multifocal nature of the presentations.

Marika: Fainting and severe fatigue

Marika, a young girl from Denmark, experienced severe symptoms such as fainting and extreme fatigue after receiving the HPV vaccine. Dr. Jesper Mehlsen, a leading expert in autonomic nervous system disorders, diagnosed her with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). Marika's condition has significantly impacted her quality of life, and she is part of a Facebook group with over 1,613 members sharing similar experiences.

Large-scale studies confirm risks

A 2020 Danish systematic review of 24 trials involving 79,102 females and 16,568 males found that HPV vaccines increased the risk of serious nervous system disorders by 49 percent compared to active controls. POTS and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) were notably associated with HPV vaccines, with rates 1.92 and 1.54 times higher, respectively.

A call for transparency and debate

Dr. Peter Gøtzsche's book, "How Merck and Drug Regulators Hid Serious Harms of the HPV Vaccine," is a powerful call to action. It exposes the deep-seated issues of corporate greed, regulatory failure and marketing spin that have long obscured the true risks of the Gardasil vaccine. By pulling back the curtains on industry manipulation and regulatory passivity, Gøtzsche's meticulous research offers a clarity that is rare in today's medical landscape. His work is essential reading for anyone seeking a second opinion on the infallibility of vaccines and the integrity of public health institutions.
