Until there are multi-generational studies, I’m leaving the decision to my daughters.
I personally don’t care at all what others think because for just as many Pro-vaccine articles, there are Anti-vaccine articles.
I did the Rotovirus vaccine. I nearly died when it was pulled off the market. Never again.
Not one shot was given to young Texas girls under this policy.
I repeat..........It Never Went Into Effect!!!!
ROTFLMAO!
All the diseases for which immunization is required are contagious in the general population. HPV and cervical cancer are acquired solely through promiscuous sex, not casual contact. Nice try.
Yup, cause the TX legislature got its sixgun and shot it down. Yeehaw.
This is exactly what takes the steam out of a good candidate - a mouth that runs ahead of the brain. Bachmann has a lot going for her - and she is one of the most “conservative” of the bunch. But when he mouth runs ahead of the brain (and facts) - it costs you (and can cost you an election).
Yeah, those lawyers are equally as scurrelous as drug companies peddling their wares to Governors to push on unsuspecting female citizens by executive order.
I guess they realized, like Perry, that this was a mistake.
The fact is Bachmann lied, and she should have known better. There was always a choice, and Perry signed the very loose vaccination opt-out into law.
Since when are “conservatives” open to allowing the government to force us to “opt-out” of anything?
In Perry's defense, the story I heard was that it needed to be opt-out in order to be covered by insurance for those making the default opt-in choice. Of course, making it opt-out does discriminate against the cognitively impaired and the lazy.
This case is another example of how over-use of insurance distorts the health care industry. How much would it cost in total to get your lawn mowed if you had an employer-provided, tax-deductible yard-care plan?
If you really think that $6000 in campaign contributions is the only way Merck could help Slick Rick Perry, then you are hopelessly naive. Some of us are sick and tired of your constant attempt to sell this man, a career hack politician who supported liberals like Al Gore and Rudy Giuliani, a man who claims credit for job growth despite never running a business himself, a man who hasn’t a clue about foreign policy, a man who panders to La Raza and CAIR, as a conservative.
Oh. And Cincinnatus is spelled with 3 Ns.
You may be mixing Scientology with the Christian Science Church. They are emphatically not the same!
Scientologists are nuts, IMO, but they don't have anything against vaccinations.
Yeah, those evil drug companies that leftists always talk about, peddling their evil vaccinations. We should listen to the real experts like Jenny McCarthy.
Gee whiz, it’s like people are trying to tell time by watching the second hand of the clock. Does this moment or that moment or the other moment spell doom for the candidate?
It’s a long time till the convention.
I think it would be interesting to see if anyone knows someone who had a negative outcome from this vaccine. I don’t think the gov or the drug company would necessarily do everything to get this info out there.
I know a 22 year old girl who was healthy as a horse who within 2 weeks of this vaccination is basically a quad for the last several years.
Anyone else know anyone?
How much did she ingest then?
“Exactly.
I am extremely disappointed with the easy comfort many here appear to have with govt coercion, when it’s their guy doing it.
People will rationalize anything.”
BRAVO!!!
Gardasil isn’t PEZ

“The reported rate of serious adverse events is greater than the incidence rate of cervical cancer.”
http://www.ahrp.org/cms/content/view/642/103/
“Dr. Diane Harper, the lead researcher in the development of two human papilloma virus vaccines, Merck’s Gardasil and GlaxoSmithKline’s Cervarix, injected sobering facts about these much promoted vaccines. Indeed, Dr. Harper, who analyzed the data, raised serious doubts about the medical justification for use of the HPV vaccines in Western-industrialized countries where current screening has all but wiped out the death rate from cervical cancer:
Speaking at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination (Oct. 2-4) Dr. Harper explained that:
“70 percent of all HPV infections resolve themselves without treatment within a year. Within two years, the number climbs to 90 percent. Of the remaining 10 percent of HPV infections, only half will develop into cervical cancer, which leaves little need for the vaccine.”
She went on to surprise the audience by stating that the incidence of cervical cancer in the U.S. is already so low that “even if we get the vaccine and continue PAP screening, we will not lower the rate of cervical cancer in the US.”
Dr. Harper, who also serves as a consultant to the World Health Organization, further undercut the case for mass vaccination in industrialized countries by saying that “four out of five women with cervical cancer are in developing countries.”
Furthermore, she said, there have been no efficacy trials in children under the age of 15: “It is silly to mandate vaccination of 11 to 12 year old girls. There also is not enough evidence gathered on side effects to know that safety is not an issue.”
To date, 15,037 girls have officially reported adverse side effects from Gardasil to the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). These adverse reactions include Guilliane Barre, lupus, seizures, paralysis, blood clots, brain inflammation and many others. The CDC acknowledges that there have been 44 reported deaths.
In Britain, the government began administering the vaccine to school-aged girls last year, more than 2,000 patients reported some kind of adverse reaction including nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, convulsions, seizures and hyperventilation. Several reported multiple reactions, with 4,602 suspected side-effects recorded in total. The most tragic case involved a 14 year-old girl who dropped dead in the corridor of her school an hour after receiving the vaccination.
Bottom line: “The rate of serious adverse events is greater than the incidence rate of cervical cancer.”
So why are public health agencies in the US and the UK promoting the vaccines for young girls when the risk / benefit ratio is clearly tilted against its use????
This is but another example of aggressive marketing skewing public health policy, overriding good medical practice and the dictum, “First, do no harm.” The case lends further support for increased public distrust.

& a further clarification

“”The REPORTED rate of serious adverse events is greater than the incidence rate of cervical cancer.”
That is entirely an assumption on your part. I was only trying to clarify the facts. There is an opt-out, like its form or not, so it is not mandatory.
Should mention she is the daughter of a neighbor of mine.
Rush just said that there is NO proof from any study that Gardisil causes mental retardation and that Bachman should have verified the claim before she went on national tv with the accusation.
