Gardasil was shrouded in lies since its inception. So much so no one even thought to ask if it worked.
I was absolutely livid when this happened. It took awhile but now it is clear that not only did Perry assault the girls of Texas by mandating a vaccination with severe, unpredictable side effects but that vaccination had no positive effect. Reminds me of COVID. Too many people think they have license to force Americans when the facts are not in, overriding American's rights to make their own healthcare decisions.
2007
"The Republican governor of Texas, Rick Perry, has signed an executive order requiring girls aged about 11 or 12 to be vaccinated with Gardasil, Merck's vaccine against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV). Girls who haven't been vaccinated will not be allowed to enter the sixth grade of school, unless their parents say that they object to vaccination on the grounds of religion or conscience."
"By issuing an executive order Governor Perry avoided the usual approval process through the Texas state legislature. He said, “The HPV vaccine provides us with an incredible opportunity to effectively target and prevent cervical cancer.” He said that it was no different from vaccinating children against polio. His supporters also point out that vaccinations against childhood diseases are often required by school districts in the United States."
