CDC Takes Closer Look at Gardasil and Paralysis (Bachmann is right
US News ^ | 04/20/09 | US News

Posted on 09/13/2011 5:34:35 PM PDT by markedmannerf

Phil Tetlock and Barbara Mellers were in a race against time to save their 15-year-old daughter, Jenny. As I reported last summer, Jenny developed a degenerative muscle disease nearly two years ago, soon after being vaccinated against the cervical-cancer-causing HPV. She became nearly completely paralyzed, though her mind was perfectly intact and she could still enjoy her pet parakeet, Hannah Montana, and Twilight.

I've been E-mailing Phil regularly over the past year, and up until our last E-mail, one week ago, he had been holding out hope that they would be able to find a cure for his daughter—or to at least determine if the human papillomavirus vaccine called Gardasil had caused his daughter's illness, most likely a juvenile form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (aka Lou Gehrig's disease). Sadly, the clock ran out last Sunday, and Jenny passed away.

You keep posting the same refuted spam.

Do you think this is effective?

It isn’t.

FRiend, and I use that appellation guardedly, did you join last month just for this purpose?

Your posting, rather spamming, history is very suspect.

I lost my first cousin to it over 10 years ago. I wish she’d of had it available when she was a teenager. Not that I know it was triggered by HPV, but its likely. Most women get it from men who have “played around”.

I also love the folks that say “my daughter doesn’t have sex”. Maybe or maybe not. You don’t really know unless you keep her chained to the house at all times. I did read one comment where the girl was disabled, I guess that is a generally safe bet, but otherwise, you are kidding yourself.

And that guy who may marry your virginal daughter? How do you know he hasn’t “been around the block”?

Keep dreaming. Medical technology has handed us a miracle, you should use it. Your daughter could be the perfect angel and contract it on her wedding night.

I thought Bachmann claimed mental retardation.

After watching her in the debate I can believe it.

She isn't "Paul" bad but she is "Romney" bad.

Why not make it opt-in instead?

From the minute the vaccine was available to the general public it was an opt-in. You could take your kid to the doctor and get them vaccinated. Not a damn thing to stop anyone except that the most at risk girls have the crappiest parent who wouldn't spend the money for the vaccine.

The very idea of a mandated opt-in isn't logical.

There was an opt out.

What was the requirement for the opt out?

Nobody in Tx was forced to vaccinate their chaste innocent preteen daughters.

I have a Son and I taught him to use a jimmy coat or accept responsibility.

This is much ado about nothing

Gardasil is not proven. I posted a thread some time ago with links.

More links like the flimsy, activist like, baseless ones cited by the poster of this thread? This is the type of stuff peddled by the "Vaccines Cause Autism" crowd. I am not biting. All the threads calling it dangerous on FR have been blogs with know nothings prattling on with their agenda. I will stick to my report on the subject from a highly respected Medical Doctor who knows how these things work.

You’ve been refuted with a great many logical responses.

Your response to my query here is not logical and suspect. Your whole history on Free Republic is suspect.

You’ve been called out. Deal with it.

I should have noted:

Your very brief history on Free Republic is suspect.

I’ll post my mind until a Mod says I’ve stepped over the line, and You Are Not He. You’re offensively obssesed with controlling the conversation, and you wouldn’t control your half of the sidewalk IRL.

Now say something you think sounds intelligent and sufficiently salves your twisted ego, because for me you have become a collossal waste of time.

And I’ll continue to call you out as a newbie spammer.

Discussion is what FR is about. Not signing up to spam.

You’ve been responded to and refuted, but rather than discuss, you continue to cut and paste the same spam.

We’re not fools here.

Deal with it.
