Again, why is the left media so angered by this? The vaccination is stretching the connection of HPV with cervical cancer with some seriously dubious numbers. 6 MILLION women get HPV and only 4000 die from the cancer??? The reason the vaccine is a topic, is because Governor Perry tried to force, BY LAW, all little girls in his state to get it because he was getting kick backs from Merck - the sole producer of this vaccine.

I'm all for vaccines, but this one smells of sleeze. It's curious why the media is taking such an "OMG anti-science" stance.

The more people are vaccinated, the more likely it is that HPV is not transmitted to the women's children, the more likely it is that HPV is eradicated in the future: No more genital warts and hopefully, no more deaths. Compare smallpox.

Additionally, afaik and researched, there are no serious side-effects.
To be against the vaccine is demonstrably going against the science. Again: No significant negative, much positive.

To be "with the science", you sure are making a lot of unscientific claims. The vaccine industry is run on dogma, not science.

The HPV variants that are covered by this vaccine are well known risk factors for invasive cervical cancer and have been for over 10 years. It's more common in developing countries.

The only reason there is even a discussion about this is because the media are reporting on this negatively. You will not find a Doctor who disagrees with these studies.

Why is this in the parody channel?

@marbles: The vaccine industry is run on dogma, not science.

Seriously... you are off the fucking deep end. Go and look into the science of vaccines.

Or do you ignore science and instead try to ward off evil with homoeopathy?

No, I just have faith in the government and big business.

@marbles

Excellent article by a doctor, who has a child with autism, on why this is all utter nonsense:

But I'm sure you'll write this off using some conspiracy rubbish.

I think the point of this parody is to mock Bachmann's stance against Rick Perry's mandatory HPV vaccine of young girls in public schools, but it sure does come off as anti-immunizations. I'm against compulsory immunizations, too. That doesn't mean I'm anti-vaccination. I just don't think it should forced onto people, as there are a immensely small percentage that have fatal reactions to them. But fuck them right?

DDT used to be compulsory, too. Just sayin'.
