Abstract
HPV vaccination offers protection against ~70% of cervical cancers, however, serious concerns have been raised about the possible side effects from HPV vaccination. Studies have found no increased risk of neurologic disease, autoimmune disorder, thromboembolic disease, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or complex regional pain syndrome in HPV-vaccinated persons compared to unvaccinated persons. Affected individuals should undergo a proper clinical examination to ensure a correct diagnosis and treatment, because symptoms might arise due to a somatic, psychiatric or functional disorder.

I read that these safety studies compare the vaccine with an injection of aluminum adjuvant. In other words, they are totally flawed because the adjuvant is not inert and potentially a cause of side effects. This modus operandi is a good way to hide inconvenient side effects though, and of course, there's psychiatrists ready to declare the victims mentally ill and "help" them.

Peter Gotzsche makes a complaint to EU Medicines Agency over safety concerns of Cervarix
In all the vaccine trials apart from a small one, the “placebo ” contained aluminium adjuvant, which is suspected of being neurotoxic. It is therefore difficult to find a difference between harms of the vaccine and the “placebo,” but the EMA failed to address this fundamental problem in its official report (2). It is clear from the EMA’s internal report (4) that the MAHs simply lumped the results from trials with a genuine placebo with those that had a potentially neurotoxic “placebo"

Relevance to CFS
The prominent symptoms, which are suspected of being caused by the vaccine, are similar to those seen in so-called functional disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and include postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The hypothetical mechanism is an autoimmune reaction triggered by either the active component of the vaccine or the adjuvant in the vaccine. These syndromes are difficult to diagnose; their causes are poorly understood; and they are likely to be underreported. This complicates studies of a causal link.

Lack of independent studies

The Vioxx scandal 2 and Diane -35 problems have shown how weak reporting is. In both cases there has been reporting for years, but this was done with the same methodology as suggested here. So the insight into the actual extent and severity of the phenomenon was slowed down tremendously. In both cases afterwards it turned out, that the makers of the medicine knew of the adverse reactions, before the medication was brought into circulation. For HPV now, the same seems to occur. We are at the stage of a reporting of a particularly large number of cases for a vaccination, for which a zero tolerance regarding the side effects should prevail. Until now all the literature is exclusively under the direct supervision of the industry, probably even all information comes from the industry. There are no independent studies, despite the fact that these were raised on several levels.
