A lawsuit has been filed against the pharmaceutical company Merck regarding a 22-year-old woman who died due to cervical cancer, likely caused by the cervical cancer vaccine ‘Gardasil’, according to the suit.
The lawsuit, which is seeking punitive damages, alleges that Merck falsely promoted their HPV vaccination ‘Gardasil’ an inoculation for cancer prevention, while neglecting to advise parents and patients of the shot’s severe risks.
The plaintiff, Erin Ferguson, is the mother of the deceased, Haley, who was vaccinated for HPV at age of 13. The girl developed abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, abnormal bleeding and heavy periods, among other side effects post injection.
At the age of 18 Haley was diagnosed with metastatic cervical cancer/adenocarcinoma of the cervix, for which she underwent a salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes), along with a bilateral ovarian transposition surgery. She also received chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Despite the surgery, chemicals and radiation, the cervical cancer spread to her liver, skin, uterus and eventually her lymph nodes.
“After each new tumor appeared in a different organ, Haley underwent various forms of chemotherapy and combinations of treatments, along with stronger rounds of radiation,” The Defender said. “She endured excruciating pain, lost her hair and developed severe skin irritation. She required oxycodone and morphine to manage the pain.”
Haley died on May 22, 2023.
Her mother maintains the cause of the deadly cervical cancer was the cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil.
Before she died, Haley wrote a petition to the vaccine court about how her life had been destroyed.
“I wonder every day if everything would be different if I would not have gotten this vaccine. If I would be a normal young adult starting my life in the real world and not feeling horrible every day of my life because I am in so much pain from the cancer spreading,” Haley said according to an article in The Defender. “I do not want to die at such a young age and hope that I can help get the word out there that this vaccine is not for everyone and my life could have been so different had we known.”
Attorneys from Wisner Baum are representing the Fergusons in the case against Merck for the death of their daughter. The firm specializes in cases involving pharmaceutical deaths and offers free case evaluations.
