This is a very old article - from long before this campaign started - but well worth the read now.
IMHO, the anecdotal report that Bachmann cited will wind up being supported by the facts down the road.
"Crazy" Bachmann will wind up being proven correct.
Perry always has a fallback career opportunity working as a lobbyist if he is not elected President.
According to a statement released by the American Academy of Pediatrics following the media uproar after Bachmann’s comments, they “recommend that girls receive [the] HPV vaccine around age 11 or 12. That’s because this is the age at which the vaccine produces the best immune response in the body, and because it’s important to protect girls well before the onset of sexual activity.”
That recommendation was echoed by the CDC and American Academy of Family Physicians....
“The American Academy of Pediatrics would like to correct false statements made in the Republican presidential campaign that HPV vaccine is dangerous and can cause mental retardation. There is absolutely no scientific validity to this statement. Since the vaccine has been introduced, more than 35 million doses have been administered, and it has an excellent safety record.”
The other day I read an article that they pushed it on India and after x amount of deaths India stopped giving the shot.
Is John Edwards the lead attorney? Lawyers making claims against the medical works is a poor measure of truth.
When I look up Gardasill.....many attorneys advertising!!!!
By next week, there'll be 1000 more!!
I know a young lady who never had a headache in her life. Shortly afer taking gardasil she started having severe headaches...
As a mom of a teen girl, I did a lot of searching on this. I have a minor in immunology too. I decided there was enough personal testimony to keep her out of this. The Perry bots will shoot this down, but I would rather err on the side of safety with my daughter. She will not get HPV without exposure to it. I say this after watching a dear friends daughter go through cervical cancer.
Sorry all this BS is due to Perry’s action to bring comprehensive Tort reform. All the Ambulance chaser, and PI whores are hurting. The ABA knows that if Perry gets in Office their gravey train is going to be limited.
From Texans for Lawsuit reform:
Perry’s Leadership Seen In Passage of Omnibus Tort Reform Bill & TWIA ReformsGovernor Rick Perry’s leadership was critical to the passage of HB 274, the Omnibus Tort Reform Bill of 2011, and the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association Reform Bill. The Governor is rightly known as the strongest pro-tort reform governor in the nation.
Governor Perry’s commitment to lawsuit reform and a fair and predictable civil justice system has been strong throughout his time in public office:
» Perry backed reforms in 1999 to prevent the repetition of abuses that allowed former Texas Attorney General Dan Morales, who served time in federal prison, to award $3 billion in fees to a few trial lawyers.
» Perry provided leadership in the passage of the comprehensive 2003 reforms that curbed abuses in numerous areas of litigation, including medical liability and class actions, and made improvements in other areas of the law, including venue and appeals bonds.
» Medical liability reforms passed in 2003 continue to bring new doctors to Texas, assuring that Texans have access to doctors and health care in communities across the state. Institutional savings from medical liability insurance costs totals $100 million annually. This has been invested in a wide range of new health programs, from diabetes prevention clinics to electronic records.
» Perry worked for the landmark reforms in 2005 that curtailed abusive asbestos and silica lawsuits, which the Wall Street Journal called “The Great Asbestos Scam,” and which a federal judge referred to as “lawsuits manufactured for money.”
» Perry supported a critical lawsuit reform in 2007 that closed a loophole in state venue law that had created an avalanche of abusive lawsuits against the dredging industry; those lawsuits were threatening Texas’ critical maritime industry.
» Perry consistently appoints exemplary judges to Texas courts who are honest, competent and conservative. Lawsuit reform encourages business growth and expan- sion, strengthens productivity and increases innovation. The lawsuit reforms that Gov. Perry has championed have played a key role in job growth and boosting the state’s overall economy. Recent economic news continues to demonstrate that the Texas economy is the strongest in the nation.
» In June, USA Today reported that 262,000 new jobs had been created in Texas, “or half the USA’s 562,000 payroll gains.” Payroll growth was 2.9% in Texas while the national growth rate remained at 0.4%.
I’LL TAKE PERRY’S HARD WORK OVER BACHMANNS “CRAZY” SHENANIGANS ANY DAY.
BTW WHAT REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUES HAS BACHMANN EVER MADE A REAL DIFFERENCE.
She may be. Check this out.

I haven’t partaken in these threads but it is important to
Know that the multitude of vaccines now given to tiny newborns in the first 6 months of
Life is highly dangerous. If you aren’t putting your child into a huge group daycare there is no reason to assault your child’s neurological health like this.
Check out what happens to many of us who blindly follow the pediatricians’ recommendations: http://www.vaccineinjury.info/vaccine-damage-reports-2010.html
And realise that most parents whose child reacted thusly never reported it. I didn’t, even though I could have and my firstborn does have autism.
I do think Bachmann has not handled this well, but neither did perry by falling for the fake urgency for this vaccine. But politics aside, vAccines, with their partial immunity and all the negative side effects of the metals, neuro-adjuvants, and contMinated media, are not worth the risk for infants. Not a one should be given before age 2.
