PAPILLOMAVIRUS:
IT'S URGENT TO STOP THE VACCINATIONS
IT'S URGENT TO STOP THE VACCINATIONS

Gardasil vaccine, elaborated by Merck Laboratories is synthesized out of “virus-like particles” (VLP) obtained from assembled papillomavirus capsid without the viral DNA (1).
The fundament of antiviral vaccines is based in the inoculation of any component of the virus which is pretended to “combat” or of an “attenuated” virus before the person gets in contact with the subject virus. The subsequent immune reaction would therefore make the organism to produce antibodies against the elements of the vaccine, reaction which will protect it from further infection.
This protective effect is assumed as tested for different infectious diseases with an epidemic character (rubella, measles, polio, mumps...) thought it seems not very clear the relation between the improve in hygienic and nutritional conditions with the success of vaccination. What has been clearly and abundantly tested is the apparition of problems after vaccination: emergency of the disease in vaccinated children (2, 3, 4, 5), infection post-vaccination (6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13) and side effects with serious consequences (14, 15) misestimated because “ not enough scientific evidence is shown to sustain them”.
But it is very likely that the problem (these problems) derive not from the virus , otherwise, to be precise, from the scientific basis of vaccination. The conception of virus as “patogenic agents” or “forced parasites” is a consequence of their discovery as disease causers, a process similar to that with bacteria. Nowadays, it has been demonstrated something totally aside of the conventional “scientific basis”: That bacteria considered as pathogenic are only an extraordinary small part of the existing bacteria and which function is absolutely essential for the adequate work of every ecosystem with an also essential role inside organisms. And that its pathogenic character is produced by as a consequence of some unbalance in its normal functioning (such as an environmental “aggression”) to which they react by exchanging what is known as “pathogenicity isles”, groups of genes transported by plasmids, viral vectors and transposons. It is also known of the unmeasured use of antibiotics as a consequence of the old conception of bacteria as exclusively pathogens has driven to an extension of bacterial resistance to antibiotics which last consequences we still don't know but will probably be very negative.
The recent discoveries on the role and capacities of virus stay also aside of the conventional theoretical basis for the moment. Human genome sequencing has shown that approximately 10% of its sequences are endogenous virus (16) which are expressed as constituent part in different tissues and organs and it has also shown that an essential part of their activity has to do with the control of the embryonic development process and their insertion in genomes has had important evolutionary consequences (17, 18). Regarding their abundance in Nature and their role, virus seem to be even more relevant than bacteria: Its amount is 5 to 10 fold bigger than bacteria, assuming a crucial role in the control of ecosystems (19, 20) and as a “genetic information storage”, a sort of RAM of genetic information (21). Summing up, we live immerse (literally) in a sea of bacteria and virus which absolutely necessary functions for life we are just beginning to know.
The foundation of these considerations and the consequences of these discoveries about the conventional conception of biological phenomena will be long and hard to document (please see http://www.uam.es/personal_pdi/ciencias/msandin/BUSCA.pdf) but for the case we're focusing on the repercussions can have dramatic proportions: Papillomavirus (HPV 16) sequence alignment against human genome (Sources: NCBI y Ensembl) clearly show the presence of the E6 gene (cosidered as a protooncogenic gene) and the sequences coding for protein L1 (Capsid) in chromosome 2 and dispersed viral sequences in chromosomes 1, 5 and 12. But independently of the real role of the viral sequences in the genomes, the purely empirical data show that papillomavirus are present in different epithelia since very young age (22, 23, 24) and its ubiquity and diversity suggest from the conventional point of view a “commensalist nature” (25) and that they are extremely abundant in human skin and of all kind of healthy animals (26, 27).
And here emerges the terrible dilemma: Does it make sense at all, from the fundament of vaccination's point of view try to immunise ourselves against a virus which is already in our organisms? If we take in count that thousands of vaccinations are taking place, isn't it a possibility that the introduction in the blood torrent of viral capsid proteins could activate integrated virus genes or the very viruses present in different epithelia? That cannot be assured. It cannot be predicted the seriousness of its effects nor the time they will take to show up. For now, more than a thousand cases of side effects have been accounted, some of them very serious (28) and even deaths associated to vaccination (29). The conception of papillomavirus as an exclusively pathogen “that produces cancer” has prevented us from knowing which is its true function in our genomes. But we know it is there and the most reasonable, the ethic imperative, would be to stop immediately the massive vaccination campaigns. From the epidemiologist point of view we know from the low incidence of papilloma and from the true causes of its activation that the vaccinations are not justified at all (30). We also know they are a huge business. What we don't know is who is going to be responsible for the damages if produced nor who would help the affected children.
