A\u00a0viral video<\/a> claims that Bollywood teamed up with the Gates Foundation to give girls in India HPV vaccines which ended up causing cancer and death and led to the Indian Parliament kicking Gates out of India.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”The Facts:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text css=””]Between 2006-2011, PATH, a public health nonprofit funded by the Gates Foundation, conducted\u00a0HPV\u00a0vaccination\u00a0programs<\/a>\u00a0in 4 low- to middle-income countries, including India, to guide future cervical cancer prevention program planning. These were neither clinical nor safety trials, as the video suggests, since the HPV vaccine had been\u00a0approved<\/a>\u00a0in India in 2008.<\/p>\n

This video also makes an unsubstantiated claim that many of the 24,000 girls vaccinated in India were seriously injured, from seizures to cancer itself.\u00a0It does not cite any credible sources or detail documented instances.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) in New Delhi\u00a0suspended the project<\/a>\u00a0in 2010 after the deaths of 7 girls following the vaccine. However, 5 of those deaths were\u00a0completely unrelated<\/a>\u00a0to the vaccine (drowning, snake bite, pesticides, and malaria), and the other two were unlikely related to the vaccine.<\/p>\n

Allegations<\/a>\u00a0by a\u00a0parliamentary panel that oversees\u00a0India\u2019s health ministry were that the project had breached medical ethics and violated Indian regulations on clinical trials, as these deaths were not investigated by PATH. Since \u201cclinical trials had already established the safety of HPV vaccines through clinical trials and the vaccine had been approved in India in 2008, they were not collecting safety data at the time. The disagreement may have opened the door to anti-vaccine claims.<\/p>\n

HPV causes the deaths of nearly 73,000 women by cervical cancer in India each year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
