They both lost.
1. The mandatory injection of Gardasil takes decision making power away from parents; it reflects the same paternalistic mentality as Obamneycare.
2. These are very young girls we’re talking about. They’re probably too young to worry about this.
3. Gardasil is manufactured by Merck and at least one of Perry’s staffers had very close ties to Merck. It looks like cronyism, and in politics, sometime sappearance is reality.

What the good doctor in the article failed to explain and what both Perry and Romney obviously have not researched for more that 2 minutes are several facts:
Almost no one, possibly no one, will be prevented from getting cancer by Gardisil.
Gardisil must be administered about age 12, BUT MERCK TRIALS SHOWED IN ONLY LASTS FIVE YEARS.
Human Papilloma Virus is an extremely complex sexually transmitted disease. It is at epidemic levels in the population. If you are sexually active, it’s almost a CERTAINTY YOU DO CARRY the HPV.
HPV has several strains - over 30, and due to the epidemic and the multiple-partner culture that has overtaken our society since the 1970’s, more strains are developing. You cannot keep up with the spread of HPV! As I say, you probably have it.
Now the important part, where the Candidates showed themselves to be fools. Merck’s Gardisil treats only a SMALL NUMBER of strains of HPV. The more virulent strains are not even the ones they could get in the vaccine.
Gardisil really should still be in the developmental phase, in the lab, not FDA approved. It’s a pathetic almost random shot at a FEW HPV strains, and you could have one or many other strains that lead or do not lead to cancer.
Cervical cancer is rare. Statistically it’s a tiny percentage of women because the pre-cancerous stages are caught with a yearly pap smear or cervical stain, and easily treated.
In conclusion, Gardisil is medically virtually useless.
Perry wins - trhe only “glitch” was his methodology (executive order), all the other crap has been proven to lies - he didn’t edict that all had to get it, all he did was make it more avaiable and affordable for those that wanted it.
Prolly Mittens....he is sitting back laughing out not so loud!
Put a fork in it..cronyism rules the day.
For those who don't accept Perry's apology and do not like the way he does things, fine don't vote for him in your Primary. It's not that difficult.
So, now can we focus on the economy?
