| Bioethicist Offers $10,000 Reward For Proof of Bachmann Vaccine Claims |
| 2011-09-16 |
| h/t Instapundit University of Pennsylvania bioethicist Art Caplan is so confident that Michele BachmannÂ’s claim that a young girl was made mentally retarded by injections of the Gardasil vaccine against human papilloma virus is false that he is offering to donate $10,000 to the charity of BachmannÂ’s choice if she can produce such a patient. |

| #4 I suggest the counter argument that she offer $10,000 to these "bioethicists" that they prove "to her satisfaction", that they have never, ever engaged in sexual relations with cantaloupes. Of course, "proving" such a thing would be impossible. Even if a million children suddenly developed mental retardation after having been given this HPV shot, it would still not amount to "proof", until a scientific determination, based on technology we don't have yet, could "prove" it. Heck, we cannot even "prove" that cigarettes caused a given lung cancer. |
