The HPV vaccine was always an Opt-Out program.
90 days after the EO Perry let stand legislation to undo the EO.
I know you addressed your message to another, but this thread was posted a couple days ago about Gov.Perry.

So you think that Perry did all of that just for a measly $6000 in re-election campaign funds from Merck. How do you think that went down? Perry is out minding his business jogging along a trail one morning and a stranger in a suit comes up alongside and slips an envelope containing six grand into his jogging shorts? Perry stops, looks at the money and the note inside and then begins jeopardizing his political career in mandating a controversial drug upon half the school population? Are you really that gullible and easily led to believe the most insipid conspiracy theories?
Merck came up with a drug that costs $120/shot that was aimed primarily at taking preventive measures against a virus that is believed to promote cervical cancer that comes up in sexually promiscuous women.
Think about that.
Cervical cancer isn't cheap to cure, and the stereotypes are true in Texas. Minority teens are sexually promiscuous, reckless in their behavior, least likely to take even the most primitive precautions, would never in hell pay for any medical treatment as a result of their sin, and sure as hell wouldn't take money that could be spent on bling, drugs and lottery tickets to get a shot of Gardasil.
Texas is also plagued by a huge number of children of illegal immigrants, plus the usual flotsam and jetsam of society - many parent who view school as a great day care system that feeds and amuses their spawn. Without a mandate, these feral children wouldn't get the vaccination. The Texas legislature agreed with Perry that the state ought to cover the costs of the vaccine, but they disagreed with the mandate that all school attending females are required to have the medication particularly because of the stigma attached to it. If the vaccine were for the flu, or against SARS, people would be lining up to get the shot and the population would be demanding the shots be required and tax-payer underwritten, but because the medication is targeted towards sluts and whores, parents choked on the thought that the State considered their little chaste and virginal Miss Americas to be nothing less than Mary the mother of Jesus, and thus they rebelled.
Nearly everyone except kooks have zero problems with the government mandating a host of other required vaccines, but all of a sudden Obama and Perry are fully indistinguishable because the mandated vaccine in this case was a practical good but a political bomb.
So what does one do? Much of the population in Texas is fully irresponsible, highly dependent on every service imaginable, and have tramps and whores as offspring. Some of those kids will come down with the cancer and they will demand free treatment and they will get it. Why should I as the tax payer have to underwrite the consequences of their sin? As long as these libertine reprobates are going to do things that hurt the economy and themselves, why shouldn't the taxpayers have a say in trying to mitigate future costs?
The decision that Perry made was politically stupid, and I seriously doubt it was a lonesome decision. Perry has staff, lots of staff, and that phone to the governor's office rings a lot by companies other than Merck. I don't believe that Perry saw an article in some government trade magazine and then decided to launch into some frenzied campaign to make Merck fabulously rich in exchange for a mere $6000 in campaign money. Merck had to go through a gauntlet of staffers, surely lawyers and political hacks were involved up to the issuance of the executive order.
I notice that you failed to mention that Perry did not attempt to stop the veto from the Legislature. The good intentions under heavy lobbying bit him in the butt and he had the good sense to call off the mandate rather than do what many other politicians do and that is find another covert way to force their will upon the public.
So now Texas, like all of the other states are going to have to foot the bills for women who didn't get the Gardasil but did get preventable cervical cancer. You get to make an ass out of yourself and criticize a man who has more honor than you ever will. Perry was willing to do something about it. You cower and throw rocks.
3. deaths and tumors resulting from #1
Your hysterical hyperbole is probably due to the fact that you are gullible to whatever foolishness the kooks tell you, along with the inability to comprehend risk management or how to view things in perspective. The Center for Disease Control has a mature response to your wild claims.
