John Gibson just did a segment on this and the facts were flying fast... we need to look for the transcript since there was quite a bit revealed about who is in what pocket on this vaccine and relation to Gov. Perry and his staff.
I guess he's on from 6-9? No transcript until after that?
The Star-Telegram published this early this morning:
Perry needs to listen to will of folks
The Houston Chronicle reported that Merck has donated $6,000 to Perry since 2005 and $38,000 to other legislators and lawmakers.

This from Medical News Today is pretty interesting too:
Doctors say Perry's vaccine mandate for girls is premature
Among the statement's points is that mandating a vaccine for a disease not spread by casual or occupational contact — and currently only available to one gender — represents a departure from past practice. Such school immunization requirements came into existence, it says, to protect schoolchildren from outbreaks of contagious disease in that setting, not to compel vaccination. (The quickest a vaccine has gone from approval to mandatory in Texas was the chickenpox vaccine, which took 5 1/2 years.)

Looks like Perry's gambit to join the 'big leagues' in Washington D.C. is STILL blowing up in his face.
If there is any justice in the world he'll be toast before spring.
