Well, first of all, your statement is BULL SHITE!
In 2003, four years before Gardasil was approved by the FDA, Rick Perry supported and signed into law a bill allowed Texas parents for the first time in state history, to OPT OUT of ANY ...GET THAT ANY....immunizations they deemed dangerous to their children. That law is STILL IN EFFECT!
When the feds said make Gardasil available to Texas parents who want the vaccination available through SCHIP and Medicaid, the drug HAS TO BE on the state’s mandated list of immunizations. Perry simply wrote out an ExO that put it on the mandated list and then in the second sentence put the decision right back in the hands of the with an OPT OUT if they don’t want it or an OPT IN if they did.
The MANY PARENTS WANTED IT! THE MANY PARENTS DIDN’T...PROBLEM SOLVED!
STOP THE DAMNED LIES PEOPLE!
So, you believe that any government intrusion is OK as long as there is an “opt out” provision of some sort?
Government can enter your home at will, unless you fill out a government form, perfectly correct, and mail it in every two years, BUT private companies do not have to obey such opt out provisions??
Government can search your person at will, unless you fill out a government form, perfectly correct, and mail it in every two years, BUT private companies do not have to obey such opt out provisions??
Government can declare you guilty without trial, unless you fill out a government form, perfectly correct, and mail it in every two years, BUT private companies do not have to obey such opt out provisions??
You are supporting government tyranny under the guise that there was this “opt out” provision.
It took the Texas Legislature to overturn Perry’s Executive Order mandating children receive the shot. Perry was, and still is in beleifs, a Democrat until he was 40 years old and it shows. What a tyrant!!!
THEN WHY MANDATE IT? I suggest he did it to attract funds, or some other means of support from Merck.
Thank you! Please send this to Michelle Malkin. She is not well informed on this, as is obvious from her recitation of what she thinks are the facts. Opt-out continued to mean Opt-out. Parents have the say. Perry had to add the vaccine under yet another FEDERAL GOVERNMENT mandate. So he cleverly added it and re-enforced the opt out.
Perry's big problem is immigration. I will not support him unless he changes drastically. Our nation is dying because of the illegal invasion. We will probably end up in a Social War over the issue. It is that serious. I live in California and we are Mexico in everything but name.
When someone WANTS to believe the worst about someone elses motives, they don't let facts get in the way.
