Rick Perry is a RINO Republican. He was a Democrat in the era of Reagan. All of the candidates who got face time in the last governor’s race were (at least “former”) Democrats.
First, I'm not necessarily of fan of Merck, nor do I have any vested interest in the vaccine.
It's not that there may be anything untrue, but there is no context for the statements made. Given the large population of people who've already received the vaccine, one has to ask, "how many deaths and serious adverse events have occurred, and is that number statistically significant?"
Judging from the FDA's own site, only 6% of the events reported to date, are considered serious. Every late-stage clinical trial will have its share of AEs and SAEs, but that doesn't necessarily mean the drug is without merit. It's certainly possible, though unfortunate, that the deaths were a result of some rare allergic reaction.
The law firm running this ad doesn't share the context however, so to me, it looks like they're just chasing ambulances and trying to get some settlement with Merck.
For many years, I complained about the fact that the CDC admitted that condoms don’t stop the spread of HPV, yet HPV (via cervical cancer) was killing thousands of American women every year.
But publicizing that fact would have gotten in the way of the Condom Campaign, so the CDC quietly let the disease spread.
When the vaccines came out, it allowed the government agencies to suddenly address this issue—since they could do it in a way that wouldn’t get in the way of The Message (”Do whatever you want; just use a condom.”)
Politicians with connections to Merck pushed through attempts to REQUIRE girls to take it. That’s a lot of sales. The question is whether there was corruption involved in the decision and why the legislature was not permitted an opportunity to debate the measure.

Good article...
Rick Perry is one of the biggest scumbags in politics today.
It’s been awhile since I taught sex ed, and so I haven’t kept up with the newest information. Are you saying that you can get a genital infection, which could lead to cervical cancer without sexual contact? If that’s what you’re saying can you please give me a reference so I can read it and be up to date on the newest info?

Well, If Hulk Hogan is for Edwards....that is His Hulkness in the background isn’t it?
My daughter’s best friend fainted when she was injected with this vaccine. My daughter has not been vaccinated and has no plans to have the injections.
We are told that everyone should get the vaccine “because if it saves one life it’ll be worth it”. Of course if taking it kills someone, well that’s just a small percent of the population...
Are you up for airing Brockovich’s dirty laundry?
He was at the Father of the Year event.

Pop Tarts: Brooke Hogan ‘The Victim’ in Hulks Alleged Adultery With Her Best Friend?
March 12, 2008
Some organization, huh? Hulk Hogan and John Edwards both accused of adultery in the very next year.
Yeah, that was another big shock to my students, when I explained that condoms didn’t prevent HPV.

It's not what is in the article, it is what is left out.
~9000 adverse reactions, some of them serious, but the article leads you to believe all were serious, and doesn't mention how many total doses those ~9000 reactions are out of.
I'm willing to bet most nuts are far, far more deadly to a higher percentage of people than this drug. Most things will produce an adverse reaction in at least some people.
Just reading this article you would think that the drug hadn't gone through the process of getting FDA approval that takes years and extensive trials. The author just ignores that and presents a subjective opinion that not enough testing was done and that our daughters are being used as guinea pigs.
I don't see how you can take a critical look at this article and say that it wasn't written to intentionally mislead people rather than to help them make an informed decision about the drug.
>If you took the experimental Polio vaccine in the 1950s or 1960s, there is a strong chance you were exposed to a cancer-causing monkey virus, spread from the monkey kidneys used to grow the vaccine. Know anyone with MS or a weird cancer in their 40s or 50s? Yeah, look around... <
While I’m not sorry to have escaped polio, it’s jarring to see how many people I know who are battling or who have died from cancer in this age group. I’m going to a memorial service this afternoon :^(
I'm really getting sick of the knee-jerk reactions freepers have been having when it comes to the few things liberals are right about. It's like the people who cheer on China simply because of the libs supporting Tibetans. Intellectual laziness at its finest.
Pictures, please.
From the news stories Edwards seems to have “fathered” successfully, haven’t heard about any mini-Hulks. Maybe it’s the hair.
And misspelled in others...
I'm just sayin' it makes her look stupid.
