updated 12:00 p.m. CT, Sat., Feb. 3, 2007 AUSTIN, Texas - Bypassing the Legislature altogether, Republican Gov. Rick Perry issued an order Friday making Texas the first state to require that schoolgirls get vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer.

It would help if you did some research before making wild-eyed accusations, please.

I've read that article. Apparently, you believe that the fact that Texas' governer issued an executive order to make Gardasil vaccinations mandatory implies that the vaccine "did not get fully tested."

Let me sort things out for you: The Texas legislature is a lawmaking body. The FDA is a government organization which tests drugs for safety and efficacy. The Texas legislature is not the FDA. Perry was the governor of Texas. Gardasil is a vaccine. Perry is not Gardasil. Thus, even if Perry "bypassed the legislature," that does not imply that Gardasil "bypassed the FDA. Do you understand?

With that in mind, do you still believe that your MSNBC quote implies that Gardasil "did not get fully tested?"
