Michele Bachmann Defends HPV Vaccine Comments On ‘Tonight Show’ With Jay Leno


First Posted on Huffington Post: 9/17/11 11:02am ET

At the GOP debate last Monday, sponsored by CNN and the Tea Party Express, Bachmann criticized Texas Gov. Rick Perry for signing an executive order requiring middle-school girls in his state to get vaccinated against the human papillomavirus.

“Is that bad? It’s a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer,” Leno asked Bachmann Friday night.

“Well I think so,” Bachmann replied. “The concern is that there are potentially side effects that can come with something like that. But it gives a false sense of assurance to a young woman when she has that, that if she’s sexually active that she doesn’t have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases.”

“I’m not sure it’s a sense of assurance. It can prevent cervical cancer, correct?” Leno interjected.

“It’s something that could potentially have dangerous side effects,” Bachmann repeated.
