Lawsuit Indicates Gardasil Vaccine Caused Seizure Disorder, Other ... - AboutLawsuits.com

According to the lawsuit, the plaintiff received the Gardasil vaccine as an injection in December 2017. However, as a result, she began to suffer from what the lawsuit claims is a Gardasil-related seizure disorder, as well as other complications and injuries, which the lawsuit identifies as "Gardasil-induced autoimmune disorder".

"Plaintiff alleges, among other things, that Merck failed to provide adequate warnings concerning the serious risks of autoimmune injury, neurological injury, and the Gardasil related seizure disorder," the lawsuit states. "Prior to Plaintiff's Gardasil injection(s), Merck, through its clinical trials, postmarketing adverse event reports, and emerging medical literature, knew or should have known that Gardasil can cause autoimmune injuries, including but not limited to, autoimmune neurological disorders and autonomic dysfunction, such as Gardasil related seizure disorder, but it failed to issue adequate warnings concerning these risks."

The lawsuit claims Merck failed to conduct proper clinical trials for Gardasil, which would have revealed the risk of autoimmune injuries. Failing to do so led, in part, to a lack of adequate label warnings for recipients of the vaccine, who were often minors.

December 2022 Gardasil Lawsuit Update

This lawsuit will be consolidated with dozens of similar complaints pending in a federal Gardasil MDL (multidistrict litigation), which was established in August 2022. Given common questions of fact and law presented in the claims, all Gardasil injection cases are currently pending before U.S. District Judge Robert J. Conrad in the Western District of North Carolina for coordinated discovery and pretrial proceedings.

As parties continue to work with the Court on the organizational structure of the Gardasil vaccine litigation over the remainder of 2022 and early 2023, lawyers continue to investigate and file lawsuits for individuals who experienced a variety of complications linked to side effects of Gardasil, including:

  • Autoimmune Diseases
  • POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
  • Premature Ovarian Failure
  • Premature Menopause
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)
  • Irregular Heartbeat/Tachycardia
  • Lupus
  • Neurologic Disorder
  • Brain Fog or Chronic Inability to Concentrate
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Chronic Pain
  • Severe Headaches
  • Difficulty Sleeping
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Nerve Damage
  • Menstrual Disorders/Problems
  • Gastrointestinal Issues (food intolerances, nausea, vomiting)

Following coordinated discovery and any bellwether trials in the federal MDL, if the parties fail to reach Gardasil vaccine settlements or another resolution for the litigation, Judge Conrad may later establish a process to begin remanding each individual claim back to U.S. District Courts nationwide for individual trial dates in the future.

Here's Why Why is there a primary care provider shortage? Several reasons: Fewer medical students are interested in the profession .

He is also the co-founder of Tiber Health. "A big reason for this is often because the income potential is better in more specialized fields." Challenges with insurance reimbur...
