It seems that the EO was actually a political maneuver to do the opposite of what you claim, that by making it mandatory it was easier for parents to opt out.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

This is the same viewpoint that HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius had
when she ruled that all private health insurance plans across the nation,
not just state exchanges, will have to provide FREE birth control.
This is what Obamacare has wrought.
It’s a nanny state, Utopian vision.

Rick Perry is what we are fighting against.
It automatically uses the power of the state in this case state police power
which is much worse than the unconstitutional Commerce Clause
of Obamacare.

Why do we automatically say yes to Merck when they are trying
to make money on a new Gardasil vaccine.

It’s sickening. Not all strains of HPV are handled. But you don’t hear
that among the drones.
Pap smears work. We don’t need a vaccine. That’s the whole dirty secret.
It’s sick the cost of this vaccine in terms of freedom, morality, parents
rights, individual freedom, etc.

Why is it automatically assumed that these young girls will have dozens
of partners, which would need to occur to have a good chance of getting
HPV? It’s the same with Obamacare and free birth control.

We might as well have Tuskegee.

I believe this article is fundamentally misleading.

It suggests, without coming out and saying it, that making the Gardasil vaccination "mandatory" (scare quotes to acknowledge the presence of a formal opt-out process) was a legislative decision. It was not.

It's my belief that the order making Gardasil mandatory came solely from Perry's EO.

But I am a Texan who has seen what certain parts of Houston has become.

The Houston metroplex holds 6 million people, so you're right to say "certain parts." What cities that large don't have "certain parts" -- pockets of Democrat party controlled decay? By and large Houston is a great city.

You're spinning like a top. Read the article again. It states quite clearly the necessity for the EO and the "mandatory" designation wording purpose. Try again.

His friendship with Islamic Imans is more than a concern for me...I will be opposing him all the way for his co-operation with them and instrumentally bringing more Islam into our country.

“Perry is a friend of the Aga Khan, the religious leader of the Ismailis, a ‘sect of Shia Islam’ that claims a reported 15 to 20 million adherents worldwide. Sprouting from that friendship are ....at least two cooperation agreements between the state of Texas and Ismaili institutions, .....”including a far-reaching program to educate Texas schoolchildren about Islam”.

WHEREAS,the United States Food and Drug Administration estimates there are 9,710 new cases of cervical cancer, many of which are caused by HPV, and 3,700 deaths from cervical cancer each year in the United States; and

WHEREAS,the Texas Cancer Registry estimates there were 1,169 new cases and 391 deaths from cervical cancer in Texas in 2006; and

WHEREAS,research has shown that the HPV vaccine is highly effective in preventing the infections that are the cause of many of the cervical cancers; and

WHEREAS,HPV vaccine is only effective if administered before infection occurs; and

WHEREAS,the newly approved HPV vaccine is a great advance in the protection of women’s health; and

WHEREAS,the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the HPV vaccine for females who are nine years through 26 years of age;

NOW THEREFORE, I, RICK PERRY,Governor of Texas, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas as the Chief Executive Officer, do hereby order the following:

He did not admit he was wrong, he just did not engage in a political fight he knew he would lose.

He didn't drop the EO. Texas legislators voted to take away this vaccine. Perry took a stand, legislators took theirs as representatives of voters (who had been scared into thinking this was a bad thing).

"Finally, A voice of reason."

You and ACORN both feel the same about him.

-- You're spinning like a top. --

Well, it appears you got the same impression from the article that I did. But the article does not assert that Guardrail was made mandatory by statute, either state or federal.

I understand the several purposes of the "mandatory" designation beyond vaccinating the bulk of the population. My point was and is that (it's my understanding that) the mandatory designation came from the governor.

Assuming there was an issue with the "opt out" process, in general (applied to any vaccine), that issue can be resolved without making another vaccine mandatory. IOW, making "opt out" easier for objectors is a smoke screen from the issue of which vaccines should be mandatory, and whether or not Gardasil vaccinations should be mandatory.

Merck has given multi-millions to PACs and political candidates (look it up).

Just like Merck has hired every candidate's Chief of Staff as a lobbyist for them? Oh, no, just Perry's. Guess you weren't paid to mention that little tid bit.

Back in 2005 most people didn’t know that ACORN (including it’s members) was being used the way that it was.

If he thought that this was a good thing, he has deep pockets and influence. He could have started a foundation in Texas to pay for the vaccine for those who want it. Instead he went straight for the raw force of the government.

Yes, and we taxpayers are still footing the bill for it. Few FReepers understand (others here refuse to acknowledge it) that his pockets are still being lined with Gardasil $$$. The vaccines are shipped to public school nurses who send out notices to parents that they can get the vaccine for FREE!!! Hey, parents, another government freebie!!! Come get 'em before they're gone!!!

I guess they're upset with Perry then for writing to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and telling him to prosecute Americans that are running the Israel blockade:

........."The letter concludes, “I respectfully request that the U.S. Department of Justice take immediate steps to investigate, enjoin and bring to justice all parties found to be in violation of U.S. law by their participation in these efforts.” Source

my daughter felt ill after her first shot.

She went in for her second shot while Dad waited in the waiting room (don’t ask)

She gets the shot - the nurse leaves the room.
When the nurse returned, my daughter was unconscious and having a seizure. She had vomitted, and her lips were blue.

My daughter had NEVER had a seizure before. Never.

She will not be receiving the 3rd shot - ever.
I would not recommend anyone taking their child in to put this crap in their veins.

Lying, again? Please, point to any post where I've claimed to have medical credentials.
