Did Perry persist or did he listen and change his position about Gardisil?

I understand he did what he did so that insurance would cover it.

Did Perry persist or did he listen and change his position about Gardisil?

From what I've found researching him, he persisted. He issued an EO and refused to rescind it when the legislators went to him.

The Texas House and Senate then had to overturn his EO.

It's an example of poor judgment, something he shouldn't have done in the first place.

I understand he did what he did because Merck was counting on the drug becoming a mandatory immunization in order to recoup their research costs, and when it did not happen due to opposition from Christian Conservatives they panicked and started shoveling great piles of money at GOP politicians like Perry.

(the fact that he can apparently be bought is not a quality I desire in a future POTUS either)

The Gardisil debacle will not sit well with conservative Christians once they get the particulars of what that was all about.

He ranted and raved, and shouted at everyone, until he realized that the legislature was going to clean his clock, then he let his tantrum die.
