The People's Study

In 2008, Katie’s physician encouraged her to get immunized for HPV. “Within a week” of the initial dose, she experienced “massive headaches” and “episodes of severe pain.” At one point, she had to go on hormone therapy because her ovulation stopped. She learned the importance of patient advocacy in the process of testing for and discovering a cyst in her head. Around 5 years after the vaccination, she had brain surgery done. Despite the suffering in her life, Katie remains optimistic. She appears on CHD.TV to warn others about the potential dangers of medical products.
