Easy bet, because there is no proof.

Put up or shut up.

$10,000 dollars says they can’t prove it is not true.

[Maverick68]

Consensus = proof nowadays.
All she needs is a gaggle of “professionals” to agree with her....done!

I bet the professor $1million that what Obama said of Obamacare won’t increase deficit is false. Obama/Biden lies all the time and the media never call them on it

[Longbow1969]

Bachmann really stepped in it.

She managed to take a good debate performance and wreck it by creating this controversy. She just couldn’t resist going overboard with the Gardasil thing.

I think she’s done now. She wasn’t likely to win the nomination anyway, but this thing really blew up in her face.

[hinckley buzzard]

I won't be holding my breath waiting for the unknown woman in the audience to produce the records. This illustrates the problem with uncritically believing any anecdote that some nobody wants to tell you. Bachmann showed very faulty judgment in repeating this claim. A note of caution to the wise, including right here on FR, where inflammatory and unsubstantiated anecdotes have been known to abound.

[She hits a grand slam tonight]

michelle is done

[Grunthor]

There is no proof, she is a liar.

[ari-freedom]

This was her “I’m not a witch, I’m you” moment. Sayonara Michele!

[Paperdoll]

The “intellectual” left should be completely ignored by Rep. Bachmann. She is not accountable to them, nor should she succumb to their extremely political interference.

[Polybius]

It is not uncommon for an infant to have a febrile illness, a drug reaction, etc., that will arrest his brain development and, in effect, make him mentally retarded in his later years, as compared to his peers.

However, if any vaccine had made a perfectly normal 12 year old mentally retarded, that case history would have been world famous and cited in every medical journal and newspaper headline in Western Civilization.

Bachmann repeated, as a fact, on the national stage, in prime time, without any checking, something that a total stranger had claimed.

Bachmann essentially made herself the Joe McGinnis of the Presidential debates.

[JusPasenThru]

Her problem is she acted like a Democrat. We have higher standards.

When did you stop beating your wife?

[RVN Airplane Driver]

Rick Perry owes her big time for her big mouth. She scored big points at the debate, although I didn’t agree with her, but like my wife and most women.....when she had won the argument...she couldn’t shut up.....and with that little fib...she lost big time and I doubt seriously if we hear anymore about guardasil in the next debate... Thanks Michelle!

[Paperdoll]

Necver before have I read so many posts written by a veritable mob! Can this be Free Republic? It’s as though each poster is trying to gain the respect of Michael Moore and his stinkio lefttists by throwing more rotten garbage than the last guy at a sinceree Christian woman with a good record in Congress as well as in the private sector!
I am ashamed of every one of you!

[trisham]

Imho, the only thing Bachmann has to prove is that there is a woman who told her that story. I don’t believe that she claimed to have verified the story, just that it was told to her.

[Diogenesis]

CDC: "As of June 22, 2011, approximately 35 million doses of Gardasil®
were distributed in the U.S. and VAERS received a total
of 18,727 reports of adverse events

As of June 22, 2011 there have been a total 68 VAERS reports
of death among those who have received Gardasil®."

---

"Foaming at the mouth, shock, seizures, paralysis,
coma-even death have been reported
as a result of taking the vaccine Gardasil from Merck ... "

[Grey Eagle]

Bachmann was so anxious to stick a knife in Perry, that she spouted hear say. She came across looking vicious, shrill and very uninformed. She wanted to make a political point, and she did. However, I will not vote for her. Presidents have to deal in facts, not hear say.
