Perry received donations from Merck. He had meetings with Merck. His former chief of staff was a lobbyist for Gardasil. His chief of staff at the time was the mother-in-law of the state rep who was the Texas chair of a group called Women in Government that Merck used to funnel money into states all over the country. Perry mandated the use of a Merck product through executive order.

Yep, nothing to see here! :)

And don’t forget the Merck guy who’s on the board of the “SuperPAC” funding a significant part of Perry’s campaign. Coincidence, I’m sure.

This is important for people to realize. Gardasil only protects against a small number of the numerous strains of the STD that cause cervical cancer. The vaccine gives a false sense of security to girls and encourages the hook-up culture. There is nothing worthwhile about this vaccine. Yes, there is unfounded paranoia about some vaccines. But in the case of Gardisil, the paranoia is warranted.

So what? If this is the biggest issue with Perry, he’s pretty darned good. I’ll take him. You go find someone perfect. We must stop eating our own.
