Bill Maher Uses Texas HPV Vaccine Issue to Call Michele Bachmann Mentally Retarded
Bill Maher returned to HBO Friday regaling viewers with nonstop attacks on conservatives.
Showing some uncharacteristic restraint, it only took eight minutes before he went after Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann using Texas's HPV vaccine issue to call the Minnesota Congresswoman mentally retarded (video follows with transcript and commentary):
BILL MAHER: And Michele Bachmann is not backing down on this issue. You know, Rick Perry stole her thunder so she's mad at him. So she said that after the debate where this came up, she had a discussion with a woman who came to her after the debate and said that her daughter had taken the vaccine and become from the vaccine mentally retarded. And Michele Bachmann said, “Mom?”
[LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE]
Is there no floor below which Maher won't go to attack conservative women?
Mentally retarded jokes?
He's 55 for goodness sake. This is the kind of stuff I'd expect from kindergartners.
Didn't one of the kids in the hit film "Kindergarten Cop" say something like this, albeit with a better delivery?
Nice job, Bill. You really do your profession proud.

To imply there are "innocent 12 year olds" and that the millions of girls who have received the vaccine somehow surrender that. Well, The CDC and The American Academy of Pediatrics recommend the vaccine be give from age 9 to 22. Not Perry picking that age, Mrs. Bachmann.
Actually appearing on the Tonight Show she was glorious when defending the Tea Party. I find the situation she finds herself in quite sad. A vaccine hysteric wearing a tin-foil skirt in one debate, now trailing Newt Gingrich. Good job, Michele.

There are enough anecdotal reports about effects from Gardasil for parents to be wary of vaccinating their child from a behavioral disease. The medical society once promoted Thalidomide. That didn't work out so well did it?
This is a vaccine that should be up to parents to decide about, NOT the government. Bachmann is not a vaccine hysteric.
anecdotes? I would need more than that

Bachmann needs to tread carefully - she's treading (diving?) into Jenny McCarthy territory.
I have sons, so I have not personally had to deal with this. I did not like Perry's end-run around the legislature, but I do not have a problem with the opt-out feature. (I'm in TX.) Personally, I do not see the vaccine as "permission" to have sex, but a preventation for a serious disease. (edited)

Gardasil is approved for both boys and girls aged 9 - 26.
Are you saying that Perry was for vaccinating only females and not males? Medically, there is no reason to exclude boys from the vaccine. To do so displays ignorance of the vaccine usage but also a not so subtle sexism.
Personally, I believe the vaccine should not be forced on a population and should not require an "opt-out" but only be an "opt-in" - patient (or parent) is informed and the patient (or parent) decides. HPV is not the infectious public health risk that other immunizations protect us from. Also, if the government can force citizens to get Gardasil, something which does not combat potentially emergent epidemic or pandemic infection that kill or injure people the way polio or pertussis did in the past, then what is to stop the government from forcing people to take an aspirin or prozac because some legislator thinks it's a money saver?
I like a number of things about Perry, and he may have had good intentions in this debacle, but he was dead wrong in how he approached it. Despite it being one of the albatrosses he carries in the Primaries, Perry is still a darn sight better than Obama or anything on the Left's side. The question is whether Perry, warts and all, is the best we Conservatives are going to get.

Yes, Perry's executive order was for girls only (which is why I didn't focus on it way back when). To repeat myself, something like this should have gone through the legislature.
This hasn't been mentioned much, but Perry's wife, Anita, was a nurse, so I have to assume that she must have had some influence on his decision.

Gardasil is "licensed, safe, and effective" for females and males ages 9 - 26 yo. The CDC recommends females begin the 3 injection series when 11 or 12 yo. No reason given why they don't recommend beginning at 9 or 10 years of age. The AAP appears to handle their recommendation similarly according to their current schedule. The AP recommendation do not go beyond the age of 18 yo, maybe because of scope of practice concerning age ranges.
Concerning Michelle Bachmann -- unfortunate comment which should have been vetted. BUT... from a layperson's point of view, it IS possible for a reaction to Gardasil in a patient to appear to result in "retardation". Brain injury from trauma or anoxia (lack of blood flow to the brain) can result in the appearance of developmentally delayed or, colloquially, mentally retarded individual. For instance, Gardasil can cause a temporary irregular heart beat soon after receivingthe injection. Falls may occur and serious head trauma is a possibility. Hence the recommendation that people getting the injection remain in the office, supine, and observable for a while. Also, Gardasil may in very rare cases cause Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), an paralysis of muscles which may require being placed on a ventilator to help the person breathe until the symptoms resolve. If enough of a delay between chest muscle paralysis and receiving ventilator support occurs, then anoxia - lack of oxygen to the brain - may occur and cause brain cell death which may mimic "retardation". Also, Gardasil may cause blood clots in those with increased risk. Blood clots may also cause anoxia in the brain with resultant stroke symptoms and after-effects that a layperson might think is "retardation".
From the warning on the drug, specifically about serious head trauma resulting from syncope, it very may well be there has been at least one case of injury to the brain from one or more of the known side effects of Gadasil that has impaired cognitive/behavioral/physical functioning to an extent a layperson would view the patient as "retarded", or a physician to diagnose impaired functioning analogous to delayed development (though the physician would not label the disability as "retarded").

Instead she veered off into the vaccine=mental retardation, cuckoo for cocoa puffs argument, and probably ended any hope she had for the nomination.

Besides, that so-called "buying" of Perry sure worked out. As soon as there was an outcry against the vaccination (for which there were ways to opt out...but how can I expect you to be intellectually honest?), he dropped it. And it hasn't happened.

Here in this country - I know it sounds really weird, especially to you - but people believe that only two people should be involved in medical decisions - the doctor and the patient. By extension, when it comes to their children, medical decisions are again a private matter for people, not left up to the government.

She did not leave it at that. If she had then she would have been fine. She took everything one more step. She declared that the vaccine creates mental retardation in children. She got on national television after the debate and alleged that some woman came up to her tears declaring that after the inoculation her daughter became mentally retarded. Now Merck, and several medical societies have called her out for her false statements.
In over 20,000 clinical trials of the drugs the only side effects were minimal The FDA has approved it and medical science recognizes it. One biologist has offered $10,000 to anyone who can prove Bachman's statements to be true.
She needs to apologize for going way around the bend and just get back to the main point.

Let me interject here. I dont remember the name of the company but there was a study done years ago in a small community in La called St. Gabriel. This is also where our women's prison is located. A chemical plant located near the towns water supply was sued for contaminating the water and causing miscarriages. A lengthy study was done.
By state and federal health standards, the statistical results of the study of this community was shown to be -3 miscarriages from "significant" by population. So St Gabriel lost the law suit because they were missing 3 miscarriages. Hundreds of women suffered health problems and miscarriages but based on "statistical based results" were denied assistance, compensation, and the plant continued to endanger ALL the towns population until finally, about 10 yrs ago, the plant closed. I have seen photographs of the area. Plants still are unable to grow in that area. Since we have a very tropical environment, it is a very spooky place to visit.
Policies, laws, and medical treatments based solely on one "statistical study" should be of great concern. In particular when the source of the study will benefit financially from "policies" resulting from that study.
This debate reminds me of Al Gore in many ways.

As of June 22, 2011, the CDC's VAERS reports that 8% of total HPV vaccines given resulted in hospitalization, permanent disability, life-threatening illness, congenital anomaly or death, which is classified as serious reaction. These are reported side effects that occur temporally after injection and may or may not be related specifically to receipt of the vaccination. More study is required before definitive conclusions can be made.
That said, I would find it unlikely that all serious VAERS were unconnected to the HPV vaccination. By the very nature of the VAERS reporting mechanism, you cannot conclusively state all side effects to the vaccination are mild. Also, FDA approval does not guarantee no harm will come from approved use of an approved drug.
I read it was two scientists or researchers who have challenged Bachmann. Immature response to a layperson's mistake. My money is on these two being Democrats or Ron Paul supporters.
See my post above for how a layperson could view a reaction to Gardasil as "retarded".
Innocent Mistake?
Submitted by Kingfish17 on Sun, 09/18/2011 - 9:47am.
Let me make it clear that I don't think the government at any level should ever tell people that they should be forced to take a vaccine. It should always be voluntary and done via the, "opt in" route, as opposed to the "opt out" route.
But stratman, your post makes it seem that 8% of total HPV vaccines given resulted in hospitalization, permanent disability, life-threatening illness, congenital anomaly, or death. I doubt that the FDA or any other government body would have approved these vaccines if that was the case. So following the link you provided I read the following:
As of June 22, 2011, approximately 35 million doses of Gardasil® were distributed in the U.S. and VAERS received a total of 18,727 reports of adverse events following Gardasil® vaccination: 17,958 reports among females and 346 reports for males, of which 285 reports were received after the vaccine was licensed for males in October 2009. VAERS received 423 reports of unknown gender. Of the total number of VAERS reports following Gardasil®, 92% were considered to be non-serious, and 8% were considered serious.
So out of approximate 35 million doses given, VAERS received a total of 18, 727 reports of adverse events following the vaccination. That's 5/100ths of 1%, (if my math is correct), reporting any adverse event of any nature. Furthermore, 8% of those adverse events were indeed serious, but 8% of 5/100ths of 1% is 4/10000ths of 1%.
I'm going to assume you just mistakenly stated that 8% of HPV vaccines resulted in the serious reactions you mentioned. Your hearts in the right place regarding your arguments, but no government body would let 2.8 million "serious events" go unnoticed, and even the MSM would report on something that serious.

Kingfish17:
Excellent correction. It is 8% of reported side effects that are considered "serious".
Concerning vaccines, no one can medically do something to you without consent, unless you are deemed mentally incompetent or a direct health hazzard (eg tuberculosis) or there is an emmergent situation and you or your proxy is unavailable to guide decisions. But, if you do not get certain vaccines then you will not be able to participate in some functions in society such as certain jobs or the military. There may be some schools that require immunizations for matriculation, but I don't keep track of that.
If you were to live in isolation then refusing vaccines would have no impact on society. Since hardly anyone lives in isolation, the unvaccinated become a risk to the population via a mechanism known as "herd immunity". Additionally, non-immunized individuals can become host not only for a bacteria or virus that the "herd" has immunity to, but also that bacteria or virus could mutate inside the uvaccinated host to a form the "herd" is not protected from. Then all are at risk.
To live in a society is to make a social compact with that society. Vaccinations are a part of that social compact. But this should not be abused by society. The Texas HPV vaccine debacle was abusive since HPV's risk to society on a variety of levels is not on par with other vaccinated infectious diseases.

Submitted by Unsane on Sun, 09/18/2011 - 7:00am.
My problem with the TTC was this: we HAVE a TTC called I-35. But instead of doing anything about it, to seriously upgrade it - ESPECIALLY in Austin - people have chosen to hand-wring about it for the past 20-30 years. And they want to continue to hand-wring, over and over and over again.
I have no problem with a toll road being run by those evil, disgusting, sickening people we call foreigners. But then, I don't have the intense, overwhelming FEAR of the evil foreigners some people do. Besides, those evil foreigners do much for investment and jobs here in Texas. Within driving distance of my place I can hit two major employers that are in fact French, for instance. Toyota has a plant in San Antonio. And so on. (You listening, you shrieking populist Hutchison?)
The honorable thing Perry did was that when people, for various reasons - some entirely rational and COMPLETELY understandable, some from WAY out in Conspiro-land - opposed the TTC, he dropped it. The thing died in January 2009 and Gov. Perry won't fight for it. It's dead and he says it's dead. Compare that to some Presidents who want to shove their projects and ideas down our throats...

I have no problem with foreign companies running tolls, if they build them, and they negotiate the price for land with the owners, not have a governmental agency take it for a "fair market value". Fair market value is however much the owner can get for it.
As you know, San Antonio has fought against toll roads on 1604/281 for awhile now, mostly because one of the original proposals was to toll roads we've already paid for. I have a big problem with that.
I agree about the lack of progress on 35. Austin is a nightmare. Toll roads there are a life saver much of the time.

It's entirely possible that the vaccine caused a side effect as severe as mental retardation despite the fact that is did not show up in clinical trials. Every drug has a possible side effects. We as a society need to understand that lest all drugs be taken off the shelf. While Michelle is right about the mandate issue, introducing possible mental retardation as a reason not to use the vaccine has lessened her credibility and she has opened herself up to being the butt of jokes.

I have never liked Michelle Bachmann who is nothing more than Sarah lite. Her over the top attack on Perry was a sign of desperation and it came accross that way. I could never support her. She is a lightweight with a very undistinguished record as a congresswoman.
Sarah Palin would blow her away in the debates or at any level.
Warning!

Some very smart people say that vaccinations can cause a mental reaction. I see you haven't missed any on your vaccinations, Bill.
