Immediately following it's FDA approval, Merck went on a nationwide campaign to make the vaccine mandatory, actively urging legislatures in all 50 states to pass laws requiring all school aged girls to be treated with the drug. Following heaving criticism from the media and other organizations, Merck dropped the push for state mandates in February 2006, instead concentrating on major ad campaigns urging the general female population to obtain the vaccine in order to prevent cervical cancer. Texas was the only state to pass laws mandating the vaccine before Merck withdrew it's efforts.

Under the federal law passed in the late 1980s, victims of vaccines may file a claim under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, but cannot sue the pharmaceutical company. Last year, the government added HPV to a list of vaccines, including polio, hepatitis and measles, granted immunity from suit. A New York Post analysis of adverse event reports filed through April 30 of 2008 found that about 20 percent of such reports followed injections of Gardasil.
If victims prove a vaccine likely caused injuries, the program pays a maximum $250,000 for death. The average payment for injury has been $1 million.

Dr. John Iskander, the CDC's acting director for immunization safety, says that the CDC has investigated 10 of the reported deaths and has found no conclusive evidence linking the vaccine. He went on to state that "although it is sad that young, healthy young women die for no apparent reason" there was no conclusive evidence that Gardasil had created the adverse reactions experienced by the dead women, or those suffering from seizures, paralysis and brain damage.

Weak? Yes Perry’s position on immigration is very very weak.
Why does he support illegals over US citizens?
WEAK
Whats weak is the one word response you keep giving. cmon, explain how Perry is strong on anything except accepting money from drug companies and using tax payer dollars to educate illegals.
Oh wait, he was a STRONG democrat at one time wasn’t he. Good point there marty.
In the US, we have had over 35 million vaccinations with Gardasil and 9 filed claims in death, not proved but claimed.

well obviously there can be no problem with a drug worth billions then, cause their lawyers say so
She may be. Check this out.
Vague (they)) and biased (pushed).
I’m still waiting for the REAL work that Bachmann can put up against Perry’s record. Not hyperbole. ACTUAL Legislation that is NOW LAW.
Not what I said. There are some problems with nearly every drug. Some adverse reaction are mild, some lead to death.
That is the case with more than one of our current vaccines.
I don’t care what their lawyers claim, I linked to the claims of people filing against them.
So you’re ok with someone supporting illegal immigration because it means they’ve accomplished something.
comrade, well done
Vague (they)) and biased (pushed).
You are accidentally stupid or intentionally misleading. (lying)
Read #14.
I’m still waiting for someone4 to prove to me tha Bachmann has done anything other than run for Prez.

India has suspended the use of HPV Gardasil vaccines due to deaths

Deaths
As of June 22, 2011 there have been a total 68 VAERS reports of death among those who have received Gardasil® . There were 54 reports among females, 3 were among males, and 11 were reports of unknown gender. Thirty two of the total death reports have been confirmed and 36 remain unconfirmed due to no identifiable patient information in the report such as a name and contact information to confirm the report.
And these deaths are just in the states. See #35
And who is your dream candidate??
Your question is far to reasonable for you to expect an answer!!
