Fw. US Gov't owns Gardasil Patent

[Guest guest]

I just received this from a friend and thought it was interesting. I

don't think this has been on yet, but I am behind in reading my e-

mails so please forgive me if it has already been noted.

Here is the article about our government connected with Merck...

I am in shock right now.

I just read an 2007 AMA press release announcing a special dinner

to honor the US Govt scientists, within the NIH (National Institutes

of Health), who created the HPV vaccine. Yes, it's true...our Govt.

owns the patent to the HPV vaccine and actually " leases " the product

to Merck and GSK! Oh my gosh...talk about conflict of interest!!!

What is also frightening is that Stephanopoulos, Chief

Washington Correspondent for ABC News, presented the award! Now you

have the US Govt, AMA, pharma companies and ABC news media all " in

bed with one another. " Everybody wins in this " business, " but our

children! How can this be? How can our govt. create a vaccine and

obtain royalties from the sale of that vaccine...when they themselves

are supposed to monitor it for safety and effectiveness? Needless to

say, we now know why it is being forced upon us so vigorously. This

is so upsetting! Here is the article/press release...~, NJ
