Psssst...Wanna Know Why Merck Was Bold Enough to Fast-Track and Make Gardasil Mandatory? >> [View All]

In January 2006, the FDA announced the Bush administration's latest gift to Big Pharma in a statement that said people who believe they have been injured by drugs approved by the FDA should not be allowed to sue drug companies in state courts...

In an earlier gift delivered to Big Pharma in December 2005, Republican leaders, and specifically Senator Bill Frist (R-TN), attached protective provisions to a Department of Defense appropriations report that gave the industry “unprecedented immunity," according to Democratic lawmakers who described the underhanded move as follows:

"Republican leaders added provisions to the conference report after cutting a back-room deal in the middle of the night. The conference report grants sweeping immunity to drug companies for injuries caused by vaccines and drugs and for the administration of those vaccines and drugs, even if they are made with flagrant disregard for basic safety precautions.

"Moreover, the compensation program is a sham, leaving people who become injured from a drug or vaccine without recourse.”

And there you have it. You see, the argument against making Gardasil mandatory was never a right-wing or conservative cause. It was a stinging rebuke and warning against corrupt Republican politics. And now, thanks to the Republicans, the major drug companies can fast-track their drugs and vaccines WITHOUT proper clinical trials all the while knowing if the product they come out with is dangerous - killing people and making them sick - THEY CAN NEVER BE SUED. This is why Merck was so bold in working with state governors to fast-track Gardasil and make it mandatory via executive order.

Prove me wrong.
