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.

Bachmann isn’t right.

She said mental retardation, not this.

Gardasil causes death in some cases.

Of course, Bachmann made a couple of errors, but it was certainly good and right of her, and Ron Paul, and Rick Santorum to attack Perry because of this.

No one who ever did what Perry did should ever be President.

It was ridiculous that John King asked Bachmann if Perry’s apology satisfied her. As if what Perry did was insult Bachmann, not show what a terrible person he was.

Gardasil is disqualifying for Perry.

The Gardasil vaccine is pure protein developed by expressing HPV genes in yeast and injecting those proteins into young girls. Your link cites the basis of ALS as "a malfunctioning protein recycling system in the neurons of the brain and spinal cords."

It would not seem possible to rule out Gardasil as a suspect in sudden onset ALS like symptoms at all unless you know that the Gardasi protein wii not interact with other proteins in any human body. will not

Perry negotiated a deal that he felt would be beneficial to Texans in regard to health and medical liability.

He has admitted that the EO, in hindsight was the wrong way to go about it.

What part of that do you disapprove of?

The part where it was mandatory for your daughters be given those shots.

Perry is not “My Boy” but I find these hits on him by republicans very disingenuous and I think they aid the Dems in making us look like heartless SOB’s

Perry has been a solid conservative on what REALLY counts this go around, JOBS! THE ECONOMY! FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY!

[As MERCK can produce not one independent test trial that proves the link between HPV and cervical cancer.....]

How very strange! Perhaps more investigation is needed.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved two vaccines, Gardasil® and Cervarix®, that are highly effective in preventing infection with the two HPV TYPES that CAUSE MOST CERVICAL CANCERS.

Logic is running thin. 1) The shot is free, but somehow Merck made billions. 2) My state of residence disqualifies me from pointing out a flaw in (1). Good evening. Over and out.

Don’t shoot the messenger. Bachmann blew it on this one. Additionally, if Perry does become president, I will probably add him to my tagline as well as you suggest. What makes you think I am a Perry supporter?
