Bachman’s only claim was that a woman came up to her and told her that story.

How could even think they could prove that wasn’t true?

Obama made dozens of wild claims about stories told to him by his ‘flock’ of adoring supporters, and no one in the media or academic profession even questioned it.

I seem to recall a lot of so called FReepers attacking Mrs. Bachmann over this HPV stuff. Where are they now? I think the media rule of “Never let the facts get in the way of an attack on a consecutive” is still in effect.

I thought in this country that if someone makes a charge that it was up to them not their target to provide the proof. Now someone has actually gone looking for the truth and guess what......... (chirp ,,, chirp ... chirp)

Let me see, 19,000 out of 35,000,000 - that's .05%. Oh wait, only 8% were serious - that's a .004% occurrence.

I wonder what proportion of the general population had a “serious” event over the same time period...
