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 daughteror 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.
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
If it was $500 you’d be bitchin that Perry was making Merck rich.
No there isn't. Upthread or downthread.
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.
Good compilation of information - thanks
You dont even list who your representatives are.
Can we have a little peek?
I imagine they have fouled **** up worse than Perry.
You're dumping on your boy? Whatever. As for my state, all you need to know is I had a gov named Romney. 'Nuff said?
I'd never vote for Romney. Never, except against commie BHO. I go ABO: Anybody But O.
I lost a sister in law to cancer when she was 31 over 50 years ago..I still remember exactly where I was when I received the news..
Massachusetts is going to lecture me on conservative rights.
Wow! That is a hoot!
It’s devastating.
I am sorry for your loss.
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.
Keep repeating the lie.
Thank you, my.
There was an opt out.
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.
Okey Dokey.
Gnight then.
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?
