In respect of adverse reactions to the HPV vaccine, on 18 August 2011, an article in the Evening Herald stated: "Reports of 'adverse events' after giving the vaccination included six cases of anaphylactic shock in patients and five reports of seizures," so cases of seizures and anaphylactic shock have been recorded within Ireland. Moreover, in a study published in the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics in 2012, it was found that compared with all other vaccines, Gardasil alone was associated with 61% of all serious adverse reactions, including 63.8% of all deaths and 81.2% of cases of permanent disability in females younger than 30 years of age. Moreover, the adverse reactions had a consistent pattern, with a lot of neurological, nervous system and autoimmune disorders.
