American Academy of Pediatrics corrects false statements by GOP on HPV Vaccine

“The American Academy of Pediatrics would like to correct false statements made in the Republican
presidential campaign that HPV vaccine is dangerous and can cause mental retardation. There is absolutely no
scientific validity to this statement. Since the vaccine has been introduced, more than 35 million doses have
been administered, and it has an excellent safety record.
“The American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American
Academy of Family Physicians all recommend that girls receive HPV vaccine around age 11 or 12. That’s
because this is the age at which the vaccine produces the best immune response in the body, and because it’s
important to protect girls well before the onset of sexual activity. In the U.S., about 6 million people, including
teens, become infected with HPV each year, and 4,000 women die from cervical cancer. This is a life-saving
vaccine that can protect girls from cervical cancer.”

Dear Republicans,

Shut the fuck up and leave science to people who have evolved past monkeys. Just opening your damn mouths cause people to die, you imbeciles.

Correction: Please update your title. Michele Bachmann said that. Not the entire GOP.

This thread isn't about Bachman (P.S., she's part of team (R)), and i don't see anywhere in that thread about the american academy of pediatrics releasing this statement. Also, i think Ron Paul said these vaccines shouldn't be mandatory, which makes him a bad doctor.

Nice to see that you follow the idiotic position of "one says it, so it represents all of the rest". Wouldn't expect any better of you, though, so I'm not surprised.

Cool. Now has the RNC, Fox News and various tea party groups released a statement repudiating her? No? Then shut the hell up.
