Most likely you have heard

that no one is works against four of 100 strains.
Next, two of the four strains
affected by this drug have been

this country. So this is a minimal
drug affecting a small subset of
viruses that are transmitted
through sexual contact.
Thus if a young girl is not
going to have sex, there is no rea-
son for her to take the drug.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
less than one-third (31.3 percent)

of all young girls under the age of
18 have engaged in sexual inter-
course. If this is true, it means that
Gardasil will be useless in almost
70 percent of teen girls because
they will not be exposed to HPV.
Despite this, there is a major
push across the United States to
have Gardasil made mandatory for
girls as young as nine. Why?
Before answering that ques-
tion, let me take you through a bit
of history.
‘Inventing the future’
In 1985, Planned Parenthood peo-
ple were among the participants in
an exercise that produced a docu-
ment called Inventing the Future:
Alternatives to Adolescent Pregnancy.
The document was the result of
creative thinking on the part of the
participants on how they would
want things to operate in the
future. It was presented as a series
of “visions.”
In one such “vision,” the par-
ticipants described the develop-
ment of “conception immuniza-
tion” in the United States. The idea
was that a drug would be devel-
oped for preteens so that they
would be “immunized against
pregnancy.” Here are some
excerpts of the timeline foreseen
by the participants:
• In 1988, a drug that provides
five-year immunization against
conception was developed. It is
proved to be clinically safe, but
no reversal technique was yet
available.
• By 1998, there was a scientific
breakthrough in understand-
ing the immune system.
Reversibility of immune status
was established along with
techniques for reversal of the
contraception immunization.
• In 2008, a woman was elected
president of the United States.
She had a special interest in
the problems of teenage par-
ents because her mother was a
teenager when the president
was born. In her State of the
Union message, she advocated
conception immunization of all
preteen boys and girls. Within
six months, conception immu-
nization clinics were estab-
lished across the country.
Now all of this could be dis-
missed as flights of fantasy if it was
not for the fact that there have
been serious efforts to develop an
immunocontraceptive since the
1930s. In 1973, some success was
reported by K. Joshi in the
American Journal of Pharmacy. In
addition, a quick look at some of
the developments since 1985
shows that this is, in fact, serious
business.
At the International Confer-
ence on Population and Develop-
ment held in Cairo, September
1994, the United
Department of State pledged that
States
the U.S. would fund and conduct
research on immunocontraceptives.
In 1997, the European Society
for Human Reproduction and
Embryology reported that a
human chorionic gonadotrophin
(HCG) vaccine developed by
Talwar was the first contraceptive
vaccine to be clinically tested in the
world and found to be safe for use
in women. The first ever contracep-
tive vaccine to be tested in the male
is the heterologous follicle stimulat-
ing hormone (FSH) vaccine devel-
oped by Moudgal et al., which has
been proven to cause infertility in
monkeys. Furthermore, phase one
trials have purportedly shown that

 that it does not live up to the media
hype and certainly doesn’t warrant
being made mandatory for every
little girl in the country.
What’s even more alarming is
the marketing that is taking place,
the aggressiveness of the politi-
cians and the complacency of the
parents.
Perhaps you’ve seen Merck’s

cials with vibrant teenage or pre-
teen girls saying, “Each year in the
ing the push for making the drug
mandatory and we’re sure its
stockholders are very happy. But
what about the girls?
Initial media reports indicate
that politicians are supporting this
because of past and/or future polit-
ical donations from drug compa-
nies. Governor Rick Perry of
Texas (R) issued an executive
order mandating that all girls
entering sixth grade in Texas be
immunized with Gardasil. Then
testified before the Senate Health
Policy Committee in favor of
mandatory vaccination of sixth
grade girls with Gardasil. As so-
called science marches relentlessly
toward the day when it will be pos-
sible to inject teens with some kind
of drug to prevent them from hav-
ing a baby implant in their womb,
the Gardasil episode is setting the
foundation.
If the American public will
accept mandates that all children

to receive a reversal drug—if and
only if they pass certain tests.
We’re sure the same people who
will bring us the drugs, also will
come up with physical and mental
tests that must be passed by young
men and women in order to receive
the reversal shot. Only those con-
sidered “fit” will be allowed to
marry and/or have children. This
would be the eugenicists’ dream
come true.

the vaccine does not cause any “ill-
effects” in men.
By 1999, the HCG vaccine had
undergone human trials in
Finland, Sweden, Chile, Brazil and
the Dominican Republic and they
were considered a success.
In 2002, the publication Trends
in Immunology ran an article on the
status of antifertility vaccines. This
article clearly points out that any
HCG vaccine would prevent
implantation, not fertilization. The
article also revealed that, current-
ly, HCG is not given by itself, but
is combined with either a tetanus
or diphtheria shot. The article con-
cluded with the following state-
ment on the status of immunocon-
traceptives: “The feasibility of
using contraceptive vaccines in
humans has been established, but
issues remain regarding overall
efficacy and general acceptability.”
So work on the “vision” is
moving forward, but will it be
accepted by the public?
This brings us back to the cur-
rent situation with Gardasil.
Business as usual
Understand we are not against
ethical vaccines that treat known
diseases. But there are many ques-
tions about Gardasil. We believe a
close look at this product will show

they have cervical cancer. I could
be one less… One less statistic…
With Gardasil, you could be one
less.” Meanwhile, the graphic
reads, “For girls and young women
ages 9 to 26.” And it seems so
benign. After all, who wants girls
or young women to get cancer?
But as mentioned above, the
human papilloma viruses that are
target of this vaccine are sexually
transmitted. That means one can-
not catch it through the air or by
casual touching. It means young
girls must engage in sexual activity
in order to catch the viruses. Is
Merck suggesting that parents
condone sexual activity by their
nine-year-old daughters?
Despite the fact that Planned
Parenthood wants every one of our
children involved in sexual activi-
ty, apparently only 31 percent of
our young girls engage in sexual
intercourse before they are 18
years old. Yet the drug company
and politicians want to make this
immunization mandatory for every
girl entering sixth grade.
We can understand why the
drug company wants to do this. It’s
called profits. Merck stands to
make billions of dollars in sales
every year if Gardasil vaccinations
at the price of $360 per child are
made mandatory. Merck is fund-
news reporters found several ties
between the governor and Merck.
In February, the state legislature in
Virginia became the first one in the
country to pass a bill making this
drug mandatory and Gov. Tim
Kaine (D) signed it into law.
However, what about parents
and average citizens? Surely they
are outraged. Well, although some
parent groups are expressing
opposition, the majority just seems
to be sitting back and watching
what happens. Some parents even
think it’s a good idea.
Self-fulfilling prophecies
Of course, the background on all
of this discussion is the “vision” of
Planned Parenthood. It isn’t just
coincidence that two Planned
Parenthood affiliates in Michigan

must be given a series of shots to
prevent a sexually transmitted dis-
ease, then it will be only a small
step to mandate the immunization
against conception, once technolo-
gy makes that possible.
Please do not think it will stop
there. When Planned Parenthood
was founded by Margaret Sanger
in 1916, there were three philoso-
phies that permeated the organiza-
tion: Uninhibited sex, birth control
and eugenics.
The coming immunocontra-
ceptives will bring the first two of
these philosophies to their ultimate
fruition. With the promise of no
possibility of getting pregnant, we
expect a significant increase in
teen sexual activity. But the story
does not end there. Although cur-
rent immunocontraceptives are
effective for five years like the
Gardasil shots, we expect further
research to make them effective
indefinitely. With the research cur-
rently reporting the development
of reversal drugs, the ultimate goal
would be to have an immunocon-
traceptive that works forever,
unless reversed.
Then comes the third philoso-
phy of Planned Parenthood—
eugenics. If nothing is done, we
foresee the day when children are
mandated to receive an immuno-
