Read Post #24.
I also found it interesting, that after about the 20th time of repeating “innocent 11-12 year-old little girls” (in the Tampa CNN-Tea Party debate, CNN post-debate, Fox News post-debate), when asked by Greta VanSusteren if she believed Gov. Perry used an Executive Order for the cervical cancer vaccine to get $6000.00 or because he believed it was a good idea and would help fight the spread of this cancer, Michele Bachmann actually stopped talking for a couple of nanoseconds, paused and said that she couldn’t look into his heart and know that answer.
The answer is obvious to any honest person, that Gov. Perry did it to help fight cancer and hold down future medical costs (not make money, reward a company (Merck contributes $Millions to political groups yearly) - encourage girls to become sexually active or even suggest that they do). The best time to administer the HPV vaccine is when girls are young (they can contract this cancer from their husbands – get oral cancer – thank you Bill Clinton for your part in making America's youth think oral sex isn't sex).
About deaths from vaccines – over 400 people die yearly in the U.S. alone from penicillin allergies. All medicine carries risks -- have you watched an Rx commercial disclaimer lately?
And it was opt out. The governor’s EO allowed easier payment due to insurance restrictions. And it was not opposed by Dr. David Stevens, CEO of the Christian Medical Association.
The $6,000 is trivial next to what Merck may have rewarded Perry's former aide who became an adviser to them. "Crony Capitalism," as they say. But that doesn't bother me much because at least Perry is owning up to his "mistake." However he is NOT backing off his support for in-state tuition for illegal aliens. And instead of giving a reasoned explanation for it, resorted to race-baiting emotionalism worthy of La Raza and LULAC - not a future American president.
It wasn't a school inoculation issue but it was made free to ever girl in the state
BTW, if Bachmann is saying she can't "look into his heart" why is she implying he did it for the money?
