why do you hate women and chillrun?
Hey UN, get the f’n money from China. They are holding 2.3 trillion of ours.
About 10% of that money would actually get spent on vaccine.
So they got tired of other nonsense issues such as “climate change” funding and now they turn to another cash cow...
I am sure Big Pharma was expecting some pay back for supporting the Health Care Reform Act.
Propose vaccinating boys, since women generally aren’t contracting HPV from one another. Any chance that men could be affected will stop the effort cold.
Exactly. Roughly the same percentage of the stimulus money that got spent on stimulus rather than political favoritism.
You beat me to it!!!!
Propose vaccinating boys, since women generally aren’t contracting HPV from one another. Any chance that men could be affected will stop the effort cold.Very interesting, and I'm sure you're right.
“Sell it as a way to eradicate anal and oral cancers among men who will boink *anything* including the water buffalo ...” and (just as a side benefit) prevent some infections among women.
Thus, evenually, we'll wind up back exactly where we are today. Instead of strains W, X, Y, and Z infecting a large percentage of the populace, Strains Y and Z just will expand to cover the new gap.
"But, but, but...if it can help, 'just a little', isn't it worthwhile?" In this case, I'd say "what's the difference?". The end result will be the same, people will have wasted an enormous amount of effort to no gain, and, I'd imagine that human behavior being what it is, the 'non resistant' strains will spread like wildfire, since people think that they're "covered".
Wonder what the law of unintended consequences will bring to this particular party? What if strains W and X didn't cause cancer, but Y and Z did?
I agree with you (I think), this is a bad idea all-around.
Big pharma is surgically embedded in Washington DC politics. Extracting it and the financial roots it's wrapped around politicians is, IMHO, one of the primary "active" players in America's debt fiasco.
Toyota 52 deaths, Gardasil 49. Toyota recalled
Gardasil causes 400 percent more deaths than other common vaccine
CDC to STD vaccine maker: 'Back off'
Death toll linked to Gardasil vaccine rises

Sen. Harry Reid key player in Big Pharma's control over Washington
Last summer, Billy Tauzin, then President of the Pharmaceutical Researchers and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), visited the White House to work out a deal on the health care bill. Mind you, PhRMA is the largest single-industry lobbying group in the nation. According to reports, he negotiated with government officials to make sure all existing drug industry favors would remain intact in any proposed health care legislation.
But this wasn't all. Tauzin was able to convince Democrat politicians -- many of the same ones who promised during the Obama campaign to rid Washington of special interest control -- to add to the bill additional drug industry perks including subsidies, mandates, and a complete monopoly on complex drugs that will last 12 years. So much for transparency and reform, huh?
Couldn’t they BUILD a local factory and MAKE the product at local wages for about 3 cents each?
i think the only way to help a country with money is to build roads and bridges- hire people locally to build them , ship in the equipment and management
slowly build up towns, stores, homes, the people building things get the wages and then pay for the houses when the items are sold... it seems like it would be self sustaining once you bring in the intial equipment
handouts only put the current farmers out of work
Now THAT is funny!!!!!
It’s astounding what they can get away with, isn’t it?
Of course the first reaction of liberals when I refused to subject my daughter to this vaccine was that I was some sort of religious fanatic who denied the possibility of my child ever having sex.
Sorry about their idiocy, but I refused it because of the lack of science there is to back up its efficacy. Our GP agreed with me and was impressed with my knowledge about Gardisil.
Yes, it is a bad idea all around, and I agree with the poster who observed that only a tiny fraction of whatever was spent would actually contribute to vaccination, so that even if the vaccine were incredibly effective, it would reach only a small portion of the most needy population.
A much better value would be getting more Africans to accept polio and tetanus vaccines.
Better yet, bring back DDT.
