He claims to be Dr Jekyll but in reality he is Mr Hyde.<br />I was invited to a meeting with Dr Nigel Calvert, Associate Director of Preventive Medicine NHS Cumbria, when our daughter had a very serious adverse reaction to the HPV vaccine. I showed him a copy of the Medicine Guide on NHS Choices, which he had never seen, which explained that this medicine is not suitable for everyone and some people should never have it. It also stated some side-effects could be serious. I also explained that there were thousands of reports in the UK and USA of girls suffering serious disabling auto-immune reactions. He appeared to be concerned and understanding.<br />A few weeks later our younger daughter brought home a letter from school signed by Dr Calvert and his then boss Ashton. It was addressed to all parents of Year 8 girls in Cumbria and stated that despite recent adverse remarks in the press this vaccine is safe and as far as they are aware there has never been a serious adverse reaction anywhere in the world. <br />The MHRA has received Yellow Card reports for over 18,000 adverse reactions for this vaccine of which 1846 have been considered serious adverse events including 4 deaths. It is a similar situation in every country around the world that uses HPV vaccine. Serious adverse events are 100 times higher than other vaccines.<br />The DoH and NHS continue to state that the vaccine is safe and deny it causes adverse reactions! <br />Ashton should never be in a position of power within our health service again.

Further, because smoking has not been shown to be a risk factor for bronchiolitis obliterans, our findings are inconsistent with claims that diacetyl and/or 2,3-pentanedione exposure are risk factors for this disease."<br /><br />All the best<br />RursusRursushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191833657833635966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-20219110256156909212014-09-08T16:22:11.243+01:002014-09-08T16:22:11.243+01:00Professor Ashton published another article - a BMJ...Professor Ashton published another article - a BMJ editorial - on Friday too, to which I have now responded:<br /><br />http://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g5484/rapid-responsesJon Fellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605593030130776634noreply@blogger.com
