"The vaccine, Gardasil, is manufactured by Merck,
which was represented in Austin by the lobbyist Mike Toomey,
who was chief of staff for Mr. Perry from 2002 to 2004. "

2007
On 2/7/07, the WSJ reported that Merck was desperate for cash.
With estimates that the settlements Merck will owe for its Vioxx litigation
will amount to approximately $970 million, and the expiration of some of its patents,
Merck faces a huge cash flow problem.
But if Gardasil is mandated, Merck will generate sales of approximately
$1 billion in the first year alone, with 5 year revenue projections of up to $4 billion"

2007
In 2007, when Texas governor Rick Perry issued
an executive order that all girls entering the 6th grade
would receive Gardasil, parents were furious.
Some argued that the vaccine would promote promiscuity.
The order was eventually overturned."

"Critics rip Perry's vaccine mandate
Governor rejects opponents' calls to reverse order
AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry stood firm Monday against a political firestorm generated by his
order that sixth-grade girls be inoculated against a sexually transmitted virus linked to cervical cancer.
Social conservatives from Texas to Washington called on Perry to reverse his order making
Texas the first state to require the vaccine, saying the mandate makes sex seem permissible
and that parents should be the ones to decide whether to immunize their daughters.
And several Texas lawmakers expressed outrage at Perry for circumventing the legislative process. "

"RP65 - Relating to the immunization of young women
from the cancer-causing Human Papillomavirus.
Friday, February 02, 2007 o Executive Order
BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF TEXAS
Rules.The Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner
shall adopt rules that mandate the age appropriate vaccination
of all female children for HPV prior to admission to the sixth grade."

The definition of mandate is a command by a person,
group, or organization (the 'mandator') to another
(the 'mandatary') to act in a particular way, or here
to ingest, inject, imbed a poison or other substance
they do not want and for which informed consent was
never taken.

BACKGROUND
There are over 40 Types of HPV, and 15 of them
have been linked to cervical cancer and/or genital warts.
Gardasil has been developed to vaccinate
against the 4 Types that have the highest
correlation with cancer and genital warts.
However, unlike the smallpox vaccine, for example,
Gardasil does not grant full immunity to those 4 Types of HPV.
Gardasil offers no protection against the other
11 strains of HPV that have been linked to cervical cancer. "

2009
Merck and the Gardasil Vaccine Show Us the Money
First there was the news that Gardasil sales had dropped by 16% in 2008.
As CNBC’s Mike Huckman bluntly put it,
“From the third quarter of last year to the fourth quarter
Gardasil sales fell off a cliff… Merck officials said part of the Gardasil problem
is that so many 11-18 year-old females have already been
inoculated that they're running out of new customers.
And the 19-26 year-old population continues to be a marketing challenge.”"

2010
The main problem with Gardasil seems to be the equivalent of a design flaw.
To be completely immunized, women have
to get a series of three shots over six months.
Many women don't.
The Centers for Disease Control reported in late
August that while 44% of teenagers received the HPV vaccine in 2009,
only 27% of them received all three doses of the shot.
Unfortunately, there isn't evidence to support
that getting only one shot effectively protects against cancer. "

2011
CDC: "As of June 22, 2011, approximately 35 million doses of Gardasil®
were distributed in the U.S. and VAERS received a total
of 18,727 reports of adverse events

As of June 22, 2011 there have been a total 68 VAERS reports
of death among those who have received Gardasil®."

"Foaming at the mouth, shock, seizures, paralysis,
coma-even death have been reported
as a result of taking the vaccine Gardasil from Merck ... "

"Gardasil Causes 400 Percent More Deaths than Other Common Vaccine
A federal report has concluded that the human papillomavirus (HPV)
vaccine Gardasil has a 400 percent higher rate of adverse effects
than another comparable vaccine, the Menactra anti-meningitis shot. "

So what. Where is the corruption there. Just a bunch a babble about a drug company and its drug. Apparently you don’t have any kids. Do you know how many immunizations are required to allow your kid to go to public school and that they are NOT OPT OUT. Find some evidence of corruption or be prepared for me to be laugh at.

Chief of staff, lobbyist, smells like a re-fried Texas skunk.

bookmark. Thanks for posting this information.

All interesting clips! thanks for posting!!

OK...I think I get it now.

These long winded articles seem to be opinions more than facts. Regarding the vaccine, if these so called facts don’t come from the CDC, they are meaningless. The CDC is the authority for vaccines period.

I’m a black, 42 year old, red meat conservative firefighter here in Austin Texas who: 1) Has listened to rush daily (all 3 hours on ipod and streaming audio) since 1990 2) Enmeshed myself in realclearpolitics.com, heritage.com, freerepublic, wsj.com, glenn beck and all the fox conservative shows (Greta doesn’t count) the last 10 years 3) Has an extensive war chest file cabinet full of various conservative news pieces and blog posts on multiple current and past events (ie keynesian economics, obamacare, clinton taxes, obama deficit, global warming farcical data, and pro life issues) 4) Has a twitter page following approx 25 conservative bloggers and columinst (reggieta is screenname) to further stay informed.

I grew up in Oakland California so I now the disaster of democratic city management and state rule. Texas is bad ass compared to the basket case called California. And I know the backwards destructive voting patterns of the black community blinding voting for Democrats, regardless of it causing there very own demise.
I want to get this clown Obama out of the white house as much as the next conservative. But these Freeper attacks on arguably the most likely general election republican candidate (Perry) are hilariously stupid. The focus is the economy dummies and ya’ll are doing the democrats work for them by taking the dirt road into issues that won’t be the big focus in 2012. Even Rush said this on last weeks show. The Far Left’s goal is to get the focus of ya’ll off the main issues and into the weeds on interesting but ancillary issues. I know this is primary season but it’s all rediculous to see. And if the candidate isn’t Palin no one else passes the sniff test. Really!? (I loved Palin dearly in 2008 but she has squandered her chances starting with when she quit her governorship. I’ve concluded she’s all about getting attention now more than being a viable candidate. When she quit the governorship, she quit the chance to be president. PERIOD.)

Just a question. Who in the hell are you going to vote for....Romney and his Romneycare? Really? And Cain and Bachmann with their general election numbers in the single digits. Yeah...they’ll get the nomination. Let’s not be stupid people.

First....grow the hell up. No candidate is perfect. I’ve been in Texas since 91. Seen Perry up close for 10 years. He’s the real deal. Definitely has made mistakes but is no GW Bush (ie spending).

So do this for me. Either agree to back and vote for Romney or shut the hell up. Because neither Cain nor Bachmann nor Paul (for you Ron Paul wingnut borderline cultist) are going to get the nomination. Perry ain’t perfect but IMO he’s no McCain nor GW Bush and definitely no romneycare Romney. And for the record I think Romney is a disaster because he can never attack Obamacare since it was modeled after Romney’s very own state plan

Now, you petulant children can go back to slinging mud against a most viable Texas candidate. Clearly it makes you feel better. In the end, you’ll vote for Perry in the general, or even Romney, because he ain’t Obama. Where are you gonna go? That’s what I thought. So what’s the whole point of this psuedo-intellectual exercise on these posts? Sheesh.
