[Thank You Rush]

I would like to get this to Jonah Goldberg who pooh-poohed Michele Bachmann’s remarks last night on the debate about this subject. He made his comments tonight on the FOX roundtable. I can’t find any contact for him.

All of our kids are under forced vaccinations orders - if not by the federal government, certainly by states who require them for school attendance with few exceptions/waivers.

I certainly do hope and pray this comes to the attention of those who could put a stop to it; from the CDC and pediatricians to state legislatures.

Reading your moniker reminded me that Rush said today he needed to study up on vaccinations. He said ‘cause he didn’t have kids, he really didn’t have it on his radar screen. A lot of us are not up on this particular issue.

Bachmann is spreading alarmist anti-vax drivel and admitted it was only hearsay on Hannity this afternoon. She also said parents were just too busy to monitor their child's health and vaccinations. Is she kidding? As a parent she knows you're never to busy for your child's health!

You seem to be under the misapprehension that the FDA and others do not do follow up safety studies. They do. I posted the National Cancer Institute's statement, here's the CDC's:

There are two licensed HPV vaccines, Gardasil® and Cervarix®, available to protect against the types of HPV infection that cause most cervical cancers. Gardasil® was licensed for use in females, age 9-26 years in June 2006 and for males age 9-26 years in Oct 2009. Cervarix® was licensed for use in females age 10-25 in October 2009.

The safety of HPV vaccines was studied in clinical trials worldwide before licensure. For Gardasil® , over 29,000 males and females participated in these trials. For Cervarix®, over 30,000 females participated in several clinical trials.

Since licensure, CDC and FDA have been closely monitoring the safety of HPV vaccines…

Based on all of the information we have today, CDC recommends HPV vaccination for the prevention of most types of cervical cancer. As with all approved vaccines, CDC and FDA will continue to closely monitor the safety of HPV vaccines. Any problems detected with these vaccines will be reported to health officials, healthcare providers, and the public and needed action will be taken to ensure the public's health and safety.
