Perry was told it was for the girls' better health; he listened to the public health docs and the pharma execs--and probably some docs that he played golf with . The pediatricians were behind it, too (and they never were fans of industry).

Perry was no expert, but listened to bad advice from 'experts' he trusted. Bad and sad all around, but this sure hurt Perry during the campaign.

Perry does what his Masters tell him what to do.

IIRC Perry owned stock in the company that made Gardisil. Not enough to make or break him but enough for the whole deal to smell bad.

If Perry were not a statist thug at heart, he never would have gone for it.

BUT, Perry’s WIFE is an “RN” and SHE pushed it too!

And all these expert opinions were supplied by the lobbyists for the manufacturer of the vaccines who also offered to pay big bucks for making their product mandatory. For the right fee I can obtain an expert medical opinion that says anything I want.

Perry did the leftist tyranny thing.

He was convinced by “experts” that it was good, so he decided it should be MANDATED for all.

No individual freedom in that idea.
