Video: Bachmann, Santorum hammer Perry on the Gardasil HPV vaccine

Via Breitbart TV, here's the worst beating Perry's taken in either debate, made doubly brutal by Bachmann's rhetorical framing as a mother standing up for young children.

And it's actually a two-fer: Not only does she hit him on the vaccine itself, she pushes the cronyism angle by noting Merck's lobbying. I can't quite believe that his candidacy will be sunk by overzealousness in wanting little girls vaccinated for cancer, especially when his chief rival has major health-care liabilities of his own, but note the crowd reaction here. They've been on his side all night but they're emphatically not on his side this time. Is that because he did a surprisingly poor job of parrying the attack or has he simply lost on this issue?

Video: Taliban kills 9 aid workers vaccinating children against polio

Polio, which once ravaged the world, now only routinely occurs in only three countries: Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria.

The UN has launched a campaign to vaccinate children in these areas to wipe the disease out once and for all. However, the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan has decided that this effort is an American conspiracy to "make men less manly and make women more excited and less bashful" - and have begun assassinating aid workers who only hoped to save children from the ravages of what should be an extinct disease...

Virologists Complaints Lead To Lawsuit Over Mumps Vaccine

Personal Liberty Alerts

Two former Merck virologists claim in a False Claims Act complaint - just recently unsealed - that Merck knowingly falsified its mumps vaccine test data and issued a vaccine that it knew was not as effective against the disease as it claimed.

In fact, the efficacy of the vaccine was not known because it was tested in blood samples that were intentionally contaminated with rabbit antibodies to make the vaccine appear to be 95 percent effective in order to allow Merck to maintain a FDA-supported monopoly on the vaccine and continue to rake in hundreds of millions in profits. According to the complaint, this fraud allowed the spread of mumps in children that would have otherwise been protected against the disease.

Viruses used in vaccines can recombine-and get virulent

Outbreaks of new herpesvirus in poultry traced back to merged vaccine strains.

The first successful vaccines, like Jenner's smallpox vaccine and the first Salk vaccine against polio, were based on viruses that do not cause illness or severe symptoms. Vaccine development has since shifted largely to the use of proteins that are used by the disease-causing agents, but there are still some cases where a dead or attenuated virus is the most effective method of generating immunity. The use of viruses for vaccines, however, has always come with a bit of a concern. When it comes to viruses, one-in-a-million events happen all the time, and evolution gives any viruses used in vaccines a lot to work with: many related viruses in the wild, and animal genomes that are littered with pieces of former viruses.

Campaign supporters of genetically manipulated foods could soon find themselves involved in a federal criminal investigation, related to their own manipulation of voters in California's hotly debated Proposition 37.

Even as ballots are still being cast in the battle over the measure, which would require labeling for genetically modified (GM) foods, the fight is taking an unexpected turn - straight into FBI headquarters. The agency reportedly contacted an attorney for the CA Right to Know campaign, in response to an official complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Justice on October 18, which cited numerous, and likely criminal, actions by the "No on 37" campaign.

'The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present - and is gravely to be regarded. Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.'

Vt. debates letting parents say no to vaccines

For Jennifer Stella, it's a question of informed consent.

Her son had a seizure after getting childhood vaccinations and her daughter suffered a "head-to-toe" eczema outbreak; she says parents should research the risks and benefits of immunizations and decide which ones are appropriate. For Jill Olson, a mother of two, it's a matter of trusting the experts. "There's not really any way that as an individual I can do more scientific study and research than the American Academy of Pediatrics or the Centers for Disease Control."

WaPo: Another Day, Another False White House Sequester Claim

Once again we find Glenn Kessler doing the honorable, bipartisan work of holding a White House responsible for what they say and do.

And once again, the White House has been caught lying regarding a sequester scare tactic, this time with respect to a claim about the effect a measly 2% budget cut might have on vaccinations: Yet, in raising the alarm about the sequester, the administration has highlighted the decline in vaccinations that it claims would result from sequestration. The White House Web site displays an interactive map, which when you click on Maryland, it declares: "2,050 fewer children will get vaccines for diseases like measles and whopping cough." It's even worse for Virginia: 3,530 children would supposedly be affected.

Scientific evidence does not support rolling out vaccines against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in the general population, British researchers have warned India. HPV is linked to cervical cancer.

Pending a final decision, the vaccines are being aggressively promoted through doctors, social media and publicity campaigns by drug companies - GSK and Merck. PATH, a charity supported by Bill Gates, is also keen to promote the two vaccines in India.

Washington state is home to the nation's highest rate of parents exempting their children from vaccines, according to a new federal report released Thursday.

The study by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a first of its kind, says that 6.2 percent of kindergarteners in the state have parent-signed exemptions for one or more vaccines for diseases such as polio, whooping cough, measles, hepatitis B and chickenpox. The data from the CDC was collected from the 2009-2010 school year.
