Merck was the same company that brought us the Vioxx fiasco. Remember that?
What are the side effects of this drug? Does it have the potential to cause sterility? What other health effects is this going to have on young kids? Neurological damage? Seizures? (see link below)

The assumption seems to be that Gardasil is some type of magical cure with no ill effects.

If Merck is so eager to prevent cancer in women then why is it charging $500 for the vaccine? Why not make it free? Oh wait, the government and tax payers will pick up the tab for the bulk of the poor and insurance will cover the rest - now I get to pay even higher premiums!

But it's also interesting to note that Hyundai is receiving many JD Powers awards for their car quality and none of their cars, to my knowledge, are manufactured here.

I would be curious which sets of cars, manufactured where were recalled and for what reasons.]]>
