Alejandro Garcia Rhodes English 201 12 June 2009 Will the HPV vaccine save or kill lives Opponents and proponents of mandatory vaccinations have a huge dilemma. On one hand, Gardasil, a new Merck drug may prevent the human papilloma virus (HPV), from infecting millions of women worldwide. On the other hand, others are skeptical of administering the vaccine at all. Several bills have been introduced which would of informed parents about the HPV vaccine, and require them to vaccinate their daughters before entering middle school. The new Merck drug, Gardasil, should not be mandated by the federal government because it is a violation of parental rights and fast tracking a new vaccine could prove to be disastorous.
It was intended to prevent rotavirus, a disease that causes severe diarrhea in infants. A year after its introduction, RotaShield was voluntarily withdrawn from the market, following numerous reports of a condition called intussusception, which is an extremely painful, possibly deadly process whereby the infant's intestines become twisted and obstructed. By September of 1999, there had been 99 reported cases of intussesception in infants given RotaShield. Two of those babies died. The FDA did not require any of the information they obtained from investigation to be shared with parents of the babies who received the RotaShield vaccine.
show "The Doctor's" they had 2 medical Doctors and two food scientists, The claims of GMO's causing health problems was the concern. The Dr's said they know that in the last decade food allergies have tripled and there are more auto immune diseases, food allergies and developmental problems, especially in small children. They all agreed there is no scientific proof that GMO's cause any of these problems but all agreed that it is being studied now in the United States so as consumers we need to know, They do not know the long term effects on GMO's what we do know is that GMO's are banned in at least 60 countries for health or religious reasons. There is so much more to learn from this in the next week as the election gets closer and the campaign heats
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Lou Gehrig’s Disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Lou Gehrig’s disease Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) – a devastating neuromuscular disease that strikes adults in the prime of life – has puzzled physicians since it was first described in medical literature more than 100 years ago. ALS was made famous by baseball legend Lou Gehrig – but anyone can get this disease. ALS is a fatal disorder that causes progressive muscle paralysis. ALS is a terminal neurological disorder that robs patients of their ability to dress themselves, eat, walk, and speak. Patients generally survive three to five years after being diagnosed, with death generally occurring due to respiratory failure.
What started out as a west coast fad is now a rapidly growing epidemic. The east coast is just now getting a taste of what has been known to west coast families for years. Greater chemical regulations need to be set so that the ingredients are not obtainable in common household items such as fertilizers, lithium batteries and cold medicines. According to his biography on the New York Times website, Mr. Tierney has a long history of attending schools and working on the east coast, not giving him a chance to ever experience the effects of the meth epidemic from the other side of the country’s point of view. When it eventually reaches him, his family, and friends I believe that he will eat his words.
The murder rate has done more increasing than decreasing over the last few years. In 2009 Philadelphia ended the year with 406 murders, about 70% of them went unsolved.

The lowest the city had in the past few years was in 2009, it ended with 896 cases.
For example, a family with a sick child has taken ever other form of treatment possible; however, the child continues to show no health improvements. Doctors recommend medical marijuana, the family refuses for personal or religions reason and moreover, the doctors are unable to treat with marijuana because of the laws set forth by certain states. These types of cases are becoming more and more common place within our society. Also, the biggest fear of proposition 19 comes from doctors or hospitals that issue the drug and are subject to loss of licenses or prosecution. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of individual responsibility (which I will discuss later) may or may not apply to legalization of marijuana.
This of course does not apply to celebrities in the world of the National Enquirer. In the most recent issue of NE there is an article titled, “White House Run will Kill Hillary!, referring to Hillary Clinton of course. The health of a family member is always something you want to remain private over everything, and it is something that an overwhelmingly amount of people will respect. This of course does not apply to the National Enquirer. One of the quotes reads, “Hillary’s doctors have painted a grim picture of her health, behind the scenes they’re telling her running for president will kill her.
This debate has fueled the now infamous “YOU LIE” comment that Republican Joe Wilson commented to President Obama when the issue of immigrants receiving free medical care was presented to President Obama he elaborated on the issue that NO illegal immigrant would receive any type of free medical coverage. The issue was investigated and found to be debunked of any validity. Universal health care has passed one house, but will it make it through the other? Will the fears of a nation of people having to carry the weight of freeloading Americans who refuse to get off their butts and do something for a change and not constantly milk the American tax payers of their hard earned money? Only time will
It goes against our Constitutional right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Studies show that more than eighteen thousands adults die each year because they are uninsured and can't get proper health care. How is it that in America, the greatest country in the world, thousands of people can die each for something that can be changed and nothing is done? Each year we deny eighteen thousand people the right to live, a right guaranteed to them by our fore fathers. The implementation of a universal healthcare system would save lives and allow people to be free to pursue their
