Having spent 15 years at the FDA and having seen regulation — the good, the bad and the ugly — up close, I am as opposed to anyone (exceptperhaps Ron Paul) to non-essential government intrusion into our lives. But some interventions are good.

That's what all the infernal statists say.

If you could catch HPV by sneezing or coughing or casual contact there would be some public interest in having kids vaccinated. This is not the case with HPV. I am in the camp of people who are not opposed to the vaccine. However I am NOT on the side of forcing the insurance companies, which are private businesses (or should be) to pay for it if they don’t want to. THIS is what Perry had in mind. He said so.
