In 1986, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) was enacted by congress as part of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act. The most important purpose of the VICP was to safeguard the nation’s vaccine supply in the wake of a mounting torrent of lawsuits directed at vaccine manufacturers. These lawsuits were a major threat to the country’s vaccination program, as manufacturers faced potential jury awards that would be impossible to survive. In 1979 there was one DTP-related lawsuit. In 1986 there were 255. Between 1983 and 1984, costs related to these lawsuits climbed from $4.7 million to $9.9 million. In 1986 alone, over $3 billion in DTP injury claims were sought, which was 30 times greater than that year’s entire dollar value of DTP vaccine. Vaccine prices soared, and companies stopped making vaccines or went out of business entirely.

The level of evidence required in order to prove damage to the VICP is substantially low. This system exists because there are potentially life threatening lawsuits brought against producers of useful vaccines that would otherwise not exist because the money that it costs to defend yourself. In essence, vaccines are state funded resources in America, owing to the fact that the government essentially subsidizes legal cases.

Gardasil has been administered to over 40,000,000 million people, with the deaths of female receivers having no evidence to support a link between their death and the vaccine.
The author of this article is a "Dr." Lind, I'd like to make it absolutely clear that Mr. Lind is a chiropractor and thus, doesn't have an MD license. He actively promotes alternative medicine and has yet to publish any paper to support claims he makes in peer reviewed scientific journals.
If you dislike vaccines, don't get them. Sharing stuff like this is dangerous to the population - you should keep your unjustified, unscientific beliefs to yourself. Do not endanger others without evidence to support your claims. People die as a result of their parents being told things like this but ill-informed, unscientific individuals that don't have the cognitive capacity to look at evidence, let alone contribute to the science.
Everyone else: get vaccinated, and ensure your children are vaccinated too. Not doing so is dangerous.
