Comment on Eating Healthy When You’re Poor: You Can’t by Sean Bourke

Never did I say that the government should assist corporations or that it is right. It is wrong, just as aiding individuals is wrong.

But giving the government more power through more ‘responsibility’ will not fix the problem in the long run.

Your sarcasm is tremendous Mick. When does the comedy blog come out?

That’s right, Sean. You tell em. The govt was designed to protect the rights of corporations, not people: their right to pay starvation wages, their right to be subsidized for activities they could pay on their own, their right to rake in gigantic profits on the backs of their employees and customers. Responsibility is a one-way street. The poor need to be responsible for everything, the corporations for nothing. That’s what the govt is there to protect.

Blow it out your ass, Sean.

Stop whining.

Eat less? Exercise? Use your head. No matter what you put in, good exercise will burn it, especially for a young person like your daughter.

The government wasn’t designed to provide our subsistence. It was designed to give us the opportunity to achieve it on our own and protect the right to do so.

Actually, Cherpw, you agree with the NYT’s Bob Herbert. The above is a reprint, in toto, of one of his columns.

I agree with you. This is a serious problem. This is not a post racial america but one that has just gotten better at hiding its racial problems.

Comment on The Gardasil Scam: HPV Does NOT Cause Cancer by ELizabeth

Thanks, Mick. I guess “forced” was too harsh of a word to use. However, my doctor did not give me all of the information before giving me the Garadsil vaccine–I didn’t even know the vaccine was for HPV. My mom and I were just told that it was necessary for me to get it because there is a history of cervical cancer in my family.

I don’t have cancer–yet. I do have precancerous cells, though. Pretty scary considering I am a young mother and have hopes of having more kids someday.

Not that I’m aware of. IAC, a court is unlikely to buy the idea that a doctor “forced” you to have the shot. But I hope you’ll consider calling the CDC or the FDA or – better yet – Merck to let them know you are one of those who got cancer from their vaccine that’s suppose to prevent it. And warn as many of your female friends as possible. This vaccine is a dangerous scam and could very easily adversely affect their health.

I wish I would have had a chance to read this two years ago! I got the Guardasil vaccine in early 2007 (while I was still dating my husband) under doctor recommendation to my mother. I had been sexually active prior to meeting my husband and prior to the vaccine (my doctor was aware of this). We were married at the end of 2007 and got pregnant early in 2008. We miscarried, but got pregnant again the summer of 2008 (about a year after I had the vaccine). I gave birth to a healthy baby girl this past March, but found out this past May that I have HPV and a “mild dysphasia” on my cervix. I have no doubt that this was caused by the vaccine, because I had had yearly exams and perfectly clean pap smears up until this year. (I couldn’t have a routine check up in 2008 due to my pregnancy.) Is there anywhere I can file this against the pharmaceutical company or the doctor who forced this vaccine on me?

I meant you DON’T get this vaccine, you’ll die.

God what has this country come to, putting fear in our heads to make us do everything?!

You don’t buy the Crest toothpaste, your breath will stink, you won’t get the girl.

You get this vaccine, you’ll die.

What about the negative aspects? We as a people have survived before this piece of crap vaccine, why do we need it now?

Tell me this crap, I had to get this idiotic vaccine, and they knew I was sexually active. They didn’t test me for anything, they gave it to me. I was 14, and I wasn’t a virgin, and they didn’t test me. THEN they gave it to me with the meningitis vaccine, too!
I couldn’t decline, it was my mothers choice. I had no voice in the matter. I’m deathly afraid of needles, so they poked me with TWO. and I passed out.

Then they handed me a paper on the vaccines I just got. On the paper, it said “Gardasil has not been approved by the FDA, and studies have shown a few complications to occur, including redness and pain at the injection site, fainting, Guillian-Barre syndrome, and death.”

Then I looked on the meningitis vaccine, it said the same thing, except. IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE INJECTED AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE GARDASIL VACCINE. Studies have shown a high risk of Guillian-Barre syndrome when included with Gardasil.

WHAT?? I just gambled with being paralyzed because my mother is uninformed like the rest of this country! Good god, how stupid!

However, death may occur if severe pulmonary complications and autonomic nervous system problems are present.[7] Guillain-Barre is one of the leading causes of non-trauma-induced paralysis in the world.
