Minnesota professor offers $1,000 for Bachmann's HPV vaccine victim

A University of Minnesota bioethicist is offering $1,000 for medical proof that a woman’s daughter suffered mental retardation from the vaccine for human papillomavirus virus, a story that was told by Rep. Michele Bachmann after Monday’s debate.

Bachmann has come under fire from the medical community for suggesting the vaccination for the HPV virus, a sexually transmitted disease that can cause cervical cancer, is linked to mental illness.

Steven Miles, a U of M bioethics professor, said that he’ll give $1,000 if the medical records of the woman from Bachmann’s story are released and can be viewed by a medical professional.

His offer was upped by his former boss from the University of Minnesota, Art Caplan, who is now director of the University of Pennsylvania Center for Bioethics. Caplan said he would match Miles' challenge and offered $10,000 for proof of the HPV vaccine victim.

That is the major weapon with which his competitors hope to bring Perry down. It is about all they got, too.

Well her ex manager/consultant Rollins trashed SARAH and it didn’t seem to faze her. So why the shock now - because it’s Perry?

I guess we will see. I swear if we get stuck with it because he doesn’t or doesn’t know how than I will blame those Perry supporters. But you know what? If this crap passes than we are all screwed and who cares who is to blame because we will be in deep trouble.

Nahh, they have Open borders and the TTC yet to harp on and I am sure they will tell some doozies.

This is nothing more than a political mistake and won’t harm Perry much in the long run.

Should he parade a bunch of cancer victims before the cameras in a victim vs. victim display? Any bets there aren’t THOUSANDS (even hundreds of thousands) of them for each person harmed by Gardisil?

Perry knows who all the players are much moreso than Bachmann.

He has lawsuits aplenty against Obama and his punks..

Maybe there is a vaccine for warts. I know the thought of Obama’s face immunizes me.

Now if he spoke out loudly when they were pushing obamacare through - the country would know that now. The only one that spoke out was SARAH regarding the death panels at first. She already knew what was in it while others never read it. I’ll remind you she was a private citizen doing that and not a governor who should have been concerned for its citizens. Sarah is concerned for our country/Constitution - fire in the belly for it - no doubt about it.

Someone noted that Bachman and Romney have teamed up before back in Jan ?
Their hug and kiss feast before the debate said it all.
She will stay in the attack dog role for Romney that Huckster played for McCain. She came off as erratic and mean.

And may he/TX win every one of them. Barry has snubbed his nose on TX - that’s a given but gives a loan of 1/2 billion to a solar company that goes bankrupt. I haven’t heard anything - did TX get any rain? How is the fire situation?

Palin should have kept out of the tired story
Palin was involved in the same Merck program and stuck the US tax payers with the AK bill.
What was she thinking ?

??? Did I say anywhere he wasn’t? Why are you changing the subject - because it was SARAH who spoke out SOLO in the beginning when they were pushing obamacare/death panels through and Perry didn’t?

This federal vaccine program was done in each state thru Medicaid and SCHIPS.
Did Bachman vote in favor of this federal vaccine funding in 2006 ?

Its dry as a bone.

Yesterday we set 2 new records, one for hottest 9/13 and another for the 100 deg+ days in a year. (70)

It rained here a bit today, but it barely tamped down the dust.

Trees are dying at an alarming rate, ranchers are selling off their cattle by the herd, but we are still here and we are thumping our finger in OBAMAS CHEST.
