Four Ways Katie Couric Stacked The Deck Against Gardasil
Forbes ^ | 12/04/2013 @ 7:21PM

This afternoon, Katie Couric ran a long segment on her daytime talk show, Katie, about what she called the “controversy” over the vaccines against human papilloma virus, or HPV, an infection that causes cervical, throat, penile, and anal cancers. She featured one mother who says that Gardasil, the HPV vaccine made by Merck , killed her daughter, and a young woman, seated with her mother, who said that Gardasil had caused years of illness that made her think she might die.

...

Here’s how Couric stacked the deck against the HPV vaccine:

I thought Gardasil in every girl was the liberal rallying cry. My gosh they are fickle.

Because that's what leftwing nutbags do - they gin up hysteria over some issue so they can crusade against it. Couric's only error was that she didn't read the memo from the leftwing uberlords that said "We like Gardasil and want every young girl to get it so that we can maintain the idea of consequence-free whoring." Since the days of DDT, leftwing nutbags have been making their money by wailing about how one thing or another is going to kill us all - nuclear power, fracking, global warming, GMOs, incandescent light bulbs, you name it.

If I had three daughters, I would be screaming from the rooftops!
My niece went into full blown Aspberger’s after her second shot.

Forbes won’t get much sympathy here for it’s attempt to rescue Guardasil injections in eleven year olds from criticism.

Many families find 30 shots on infants through adolescence a bit much and even flu shots remain suspect in some quarters. Guardasil came along and broke the barrier.

As for Couric, she posesses a radical fear of cancer, due to losing her husband and sister, and Forbes must have a stock pick on the manufacturer of Guardasil, to be seen defending the drug on children.

The vaccine industry is evil. Period. This is not to say that all vaccines are bad. It’s just the medical establishment pushing these nasty things on babies and on folks with compromised immune systems

Nobody on the Left, including Katie, gave a damn a few years ago.

Read my previous post. The vaccine industry is pure evil and I have multiple videos by real doctors who show how stupid it is to inject foreign harmful DNA and the adjuncts and preservatives into your bloodstream

And why ????

Oh gee so you might decrease the risk of getting some illness most of which are easily preventable

Especially with the Babies. Pure evil

Do gooders from hell of the worst kind

I take on old idiots trying to give me the pack mentality lie all the time

When confronted with details. Facts and epidemiology.. Then come the personal attacks. Then I attack back and they are stunned.

No one ever challenges these fools.

Even a broken clock is 100% correct, twice each day....

And no, my own daughter did not get “vaccinated”.
Those Republican politicians who thought mandatory vaccinations were a good idea...where are they all now?

I know.
That's why he was not on my “short list” for desirable POTUS nominees.

Among a few other major policy disagreements....
