The Gadasil vaccine Perry tried to “force” on Texas girls?
Dead issue.
He never tried to force it.
There was an opt out. It was up to parents to choose
Always.

Texas allows parents to opt out of inoculations by filing an affidavit stating that he or she objected to the vaccine for religious or philosophical reasons.

I don’t appreciate being called a liar.
Your rudeness and name calling gains you nothing but diminished credibility.

The Texas Legislature gave the Governor the power that he exercised as the head of the Executive Branch: the power to regulate the Medical Board and the Department of State Health Services. The Legislature has passed law as recently as 2003 that allows the Department and Board to add vaccines as they deem them necessary.
The Governor’s language is strong in promoting the parental right to opt out and orders the Department to make the “opt out” provision available on the Internet. Currently, parents have to make a request in writing for an affidavit, which has to be notarized and then delivered to the Department - eventually the Department mails the exemption to the parent. (Can you imagine? There’s no way we could have ever managed to get parental consent forms this complicated or the process so convoluted for abortions.) The Governor’s language would make the process easier.
