I am Emily Tarsell, Chris’s mother. Since Chris died in June of 2008, I have grieved with other families whose daughters were injured or died following Gardasil. Photos of some of these young ladies appear in a slideshow below.
As information was exchanged, it became apparent that there were patterns to these post-injection reactions. I volunteered to work with the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) to support and network with families and to develop a questionnaire to document symptoms and any patterns in the reported events.
As families voluntarily self-selected to complete the questionnaire, I felt compelled to report the findings. After several months of work and with voluntary assistance from Dr. James Garrett and Kenneth Corson, we generated this paper (PDF):
While the respondents represent a small sample and the responses have all of the limitations of self-reports, the findings are nevertheless compelling. The data clearly demonstrate consistency in the types and frequency of symptoms experienced following injections of Gardasil that did not exist prior to injection. The symptoms increase in occurrence, number and severity with additional exposure to Gardasil. The graphs and charts reflect a dose-response and temporal relationship. For the 6 deaths reported, there is statistically detectable evidence that the hypothesis that Gardasil is not related to any of them is not tenable. One practical consequence of these findings might be that if one experiences certain post-injection symptoms, it might be a strong indication that the inoculation protocol should be aborted.
www.SaneVax.org announced on 9/6/11 the discovery of HPV DNA contamination in Gardasil. This is significant because residual DNA in a vaccine can trigger autoimmune disease, anaphylactic shock or tumors. Merck and the FDA heretofore, had denied that there was any HPV DNA in Gardasil.

The efficacy of Gardasil to prevent cervical cancer has never been validated. Post-licensure monitoring of Gardasil as required by law to verify clinical benefits of the HPV vaccine has not occurred. This has prompted a team of concerned citizens, including this writer, to draft letters to senior scientists in the government. We demand that they comply with the law and immediately implement an effective monitoring program to reassure the public that we are not receiving HPV vaccination for no confirmed benefit.

You are encouraged to send copies of these letters to the respective scientists as well as to your legislators. For legislators, include a personal cover letter such as follows:

When she wasn't in the studio painting, constructing or writing, or at the gallery working, Chris liked to hang out with her friends. Chris would have been a senior in studio arts and philosophy at Bard College, a community she loved. She also liked exchanging ideas, observing nature, listening to music, debating, dancing, cooking, and enjoying the companionship of others.
Frequently, she and friends would take excursions to New York City where she did an internship. They explored the Big Apple and neighborhoods like Chinatown, Brooklyn and Williamsburg. It was all so exciting and the future looked rich with possibilities. But it all came to an abrupt end when Chris was found dead in her bed on June 23,2008.
Born and reared in Sparks, Maryland, Chris was an honor student, a member of NHS, Amnesty International, The Towson Unitarian Universalist Church, and Girl Scout Troop 589 who presented her with a Gold Award. An avid and accomplished athlete, Chris played baseball on the boy’s team in middle school, varsity softball in high school and tennis in college. She was art editor of two literary magazines, Brillig and Verse Noire, in high school and college, respectively.
Her passions were art and philosophy, and she won several juried art honors. She loved texture, light and color and was just embarking on a serious and challenging senior project integrating sculpture and painting when her life tragically ended. She was sweet, spirited, questioning, generous and caring. We love you Chris and miss you deeply.
Contributions to fund scholarships in her honor are welcome and may be sent to the Christina R.Tarsell Charitable Fund, PNC Bank, 201 Mt. Carmel Road, Monkton, MD 21111.
For any donation of $15 or more, please accept our thank-you gift of a dozen lovely notecards with reproductions of Chris's art work as seen on this site. Thank you.
