UK's First Jab Death?

Terribly upset to hear of what might be the first known HPV jab death in UK. Our prayers are with the parents. Our hopes are that the government will stop insisting on this dangerous treatment but make it optional instead, and offer it through family physicians rather than through the school.

The story of our daughter's forced jab last year, and horrible side effects, were well chronicled in the papers but nothing was done about it. Fact is, it is not well tested except for the fact that Brits are currently testing it for larger markets overseas and our kids are the guinea pigs. Anyone else here NOT WANT THE JAB?

He accused the government of "penny-pinching" after it chose a jab that, he said, did not offer as much protection as a more expensive alternative. Ministers awarded the contract to GlaxoSmithKline for its Cervarix jab over the more expensive Gardasi.
