I seem to recall a lot of so called FReepers attacking Mrs. Bachmann over this HPV stuff. Where are they now? I think the media rule of “Never let the facts get in the way of an attack on a consecutive” is still in effect.

I thought in this country that if someone makes a charge that it was up to them not their target to provide the proof. Now someone has actually gone looking for the truth and guess what......... (chirp ,,, chirp ... chirp)

If mandating HPV is so wrong...then we should eliminate the requirement for the measles, whooping cough and mumps vaccine? Why is HPV any different? All have the rare complication but all save lives so that kids can live to a normal life expectancy.

Was requiring the small pox vaccination so wrong? Geeze, I just don’t get the uproar. Small pox threat was finally eliminated...but without the vaccine it wouldn’t have happened.

Is the uproar because it is a sexually transmitted disease? I am puzzled.

Now someone has actually gone looking for the truth

I don't doubt in the least that there is a mother somewhere in the US whose child suffered a serious mental side-effect from Gardasil.

I also find it quite plausible that that mother could have at some time communicated that to Michele Bachmann.

Notwithstanding the possible truth of both those events, my criticism of Bachmann is that she elevated that isolated event to a campaign issue without making any reference to checking the science.

I got shredded for giving her the benefit of the doubt. I remember that thread.

So do I. Bachmann made a claim, but as of yet has not shown any proof.
