Yes, Merck had only one clinical trial involving 2,200 women. Even if this was the best run trial ever(unlikely),that would not be enough people to extrapolate to the whole population of Texas.I do not think they used girls as young as 11 in that study.They really are running an experiment.
Merck is in financial trouble because of VIOX. They can not be trusted.

I think you've got the numbers wrong, here.
And you might want to look up the recent facts on Vioxx. Naprosyn (Aleeve) is associated with a similar incidence of heart attacks and strokes.

I wouldn't use a medicine/ vaccine that hasn't been on the market for less than 10 years. I don't do guinea pig.
