While I have reservations about Gardasil, I know that Erin Brockovich is just another scam artist.
You’ve got 28 bullets coming at you. Are you really better off if you can stop one of them?
Good article. Governor Perry managed to piss off a lot of Republicans and Conservatives in Texas when he tried to shove it down Texans’ throats, even after his ties to the company were already publicized.
She may or may not be, but Merck needs to have their dirty laundry aired. They’ve bought off a lot of politicians.
Actually, it is spelled "Merck".
If you are going to sue somebody for umpty-diddly dollars, the first step is to spell their name right.
But, but Hollyweird says she is a heroine. Beautiful too.
After all she “stood up” to a greedy, exploitative American corporation run by hateful, white Christian males.
And what, after all, is more important than that?
Is there a vaccine against hybridized metaphors?
Spell check is your friend. Fix Merc and waver; please.
Do you have any evidence which shows that anything said in this article is untrue?
I don’t understand how the FTC is even allowing this stuff to be marketed the way it is.
It is shown to prevent HPV (genetal warts) at least certain strains... and yes, genital warts can lead to cervical cancer, but not always.
So the logic is, prevent HPV, you prevent cancer, but that’s a secondary, not what the vaccine actually does, so its marketing campaign seems disingenuous from the get go.
Uh, I don’t think the religion of the PG&E executives had anything to do with them poisoning people and trying to cover it up.
I think that if a vaccine needs to be advertised on TV, then it's likely not a very good vaccine.
I couldn’t believe that she spelled it wrong, so I checked the link..and she did. I’m with you...if you’re going to sue the pants off of them, at least have the courtesy of spelling the name right.
Her posting had both spellings in it (Merck and Merc).

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend but I opposed the mandatory use of this vaccine. And I never heard why only the girls were getting it when guys get cancer from HPV too.
Also there will be women in this world who would not have the HPV vaccination and the guys would still be carriers.
I thought at the time that it had to be so that this vaccination could be tabled as a “women’s issue”.
Holy DES, Batman, why would anyone foist a drug on pre-pubsecent girls with no clue as to the reproductive impact even 10 years down the road.
Gov Perry is a disappointment just like his good friend Bush. Government Mandatory positions are not conservative way of thinking.
And of course, there are even worse things girls can get from unprotected intercourse. I worry about these things that give kids a false sense of security. I remember the looks on some of my students’ faces when I told them that birth control pills did not protect them from STDs.

Nothing quite like starting off your rant by butchering metaphors.
