Well, 2016 has arrived and is already flying by ... we wish you all a very happy new year, even though many of you will be here for reasons that render that wish useless!
Rest assured that we at GANZ feel your pain on a daily basis and both empathise and sympathise with what you and your children are going through!
2016 will hopefully prove to be the year that our combined iron strikes at the heart of Merck and the NZ public health system - the two parties we hold responsible for the trials we as parents are facing, and the pain and suffering our children have had to endure.
We have meetings lined up with a few parties who are very interested in hearing our side of the story, and who have already committed to helping us take our petition to the Select Health Committee!
There is also a lot of progress taking place in various countries around the world in the fight against Gardasil and its evils.
The Irish victims have been gaining a huge amount of media attention, and we know of one group who have launched legal action. We'll keep you posted on this as we hear more news.
Spain has also seen the launching of criminal action - read more on that HERE.
Sanevax reports that criminal complaints have been filed in France against yet to be named defendants regarding severe injuries after Gardasil vaccinations. Read more HERE.
There is also legal action taking place in Brazil: Who will the court believe - their citizens, or the 'eminent authorities' from the PAHO and WHO? After federal prosecutors in Minas Gerais filed a lawsuit to suspend the use of the vaccine against human papilloma virus (HPV) in Brazil, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the World Health Organisation arm, released statement stressing that the vaccine is safe and efficient. Let's hope the Court demands verifiable scientific documentation from both sides before judgement is rendered. (right click for translation)
Dr. Godofredo Arauzo Huancayo, PERU says much more research needs to be done before anyone can claim HPV vaccines will prevent cancer. (right click for translation)
GANZ's founder, Gayle Dickson, was interviewed on Sunday by Sallie Elkordy. Sallie is campaining hard in New York against the mandatory vaccines that are about to be imposed, and she has been focussing on Gardasil quite a lot this last week or so. Head to her Facebook page to see what she's up to and how you can help support her. Let's be honest, we need to stand together globally on the subject of Gardasil and fight this on one big front! You can listen to the full interview HERE.
Even South African's are starting to stand up and question Gardasil ... a citizen of South Africa (we’ll call her Sarah) sent some questions about HPV vaccines to CANSA, the Cancer Association of South Africa. Sarah had no idea her questions would lead to a full-blown scientific debate. Read the full account HERE - it's well worth it! The women of South Africa should soon be able to exercise their right to informed consent, thanks to Sarah!
Sarah's story shows what the actions of one person can achieve - that's why we need your registration, your support, your show of hands here in NZ ... imagine if we can organise a protest march in all the major cities ... imagine if we all turned up on the steps of Parliament to deliver our petition ... imagine if we all wrote to our MP's questioning the safety of Gardasil and demanding a full enquiry!! Imagine .... as John Lennon said: It isn't hard to do! Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
