That is not a provable statement. What you have done is slander the governor. He could have recourse against you in a court of law. As he could with Ms. Bachman if she claims that he took a bribe in a pay to play scheme. She did not. She simply alluded to it.
Here one more time are the facts.
GARDASIL is a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine approved by the FDA that helps protect against 4 types of HPV. In girls and young women ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 2 types of HPV that cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases, and 2 more types that cause 90% of genital warts cases. In boys and young men ages 9 to 26, GARDASIL helps protect against 90% of genital warts cases.
GARDASIL also helps protect girls and young women ages 9 to 26 against 70% of vaginal cancer cases and up to 50% of vulvar cancer cases.
To date there have been more than 16 million people vaccinated with no proved deaths related to the vaccinations. Side effects are mostly mild: The side effects include pain, swelling, itching, bruising, and redness at the injection site, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting. These are very rare.
Merck markets the drug and sells it for a profit.
Profit is good.
Gov Perry mandated that Girls age 12 be vaccinated with Gardasil. This required that insurance companies and medicaid would have to pay the cost of the vaccination. The Governor allowed for an opt out clause for any parent that wanted their child to not get the vaccine.
Prior to Gov. Perry's executive order their was already an opt in as anyone that wanted and could afford the vaccine could acquire it simply by asking their health care provider. Of course the opt in was only for those with the financial resources as the poor could not afford to get the vaccine regardless of their desires.
The Texas legislature, bullied by the same type that push anti-vaccine causes here on FR bullied the legislature to over rule the Governors edict. Since the legislature over ruled the Governor, no one where forced to be protected against these diseases and more people will suffer from HPV related genital warts and die from HPV related cervical cancer. You and the other Luddites should take a bow for your most recent case of justifiable manslaughter. Particularly your ability to infect and kill the poor. Congratulations!
“Particularly your ability to infect and kill the poor. Congratulations!”
Oh, so now you talk life a liberal. I’m “killing the poor” because I think a vaccine against a venereal disease should not be forced on anyone? That is really rich. By that reasoning you are killing them as well since you hold the CDC so high in value but don’t want to ban smoking which causes the dreaded cervical cancer - according to CDC??? Kinda inconsistent aren’t you?
Oh...by the way. In the case of a public figure, I can speculate all I want about their motives. In this case...I’m afraid Rick Perry is dirty....”Crony Capitalism” I believe is what Sarah Palin calls it.
