Apparently, Glaxo_SmithKline. But don’t confuse the issue: it’s about executive power and its misuse. Why go down that road of mandating something for people when it flies in the face of being constitutionally sound?
Michele has taken it upon herself to make it much more than an issue of whether the governor of a state should have the power to issue an EO allowing people to opt out of a cancer vaccine. She, without any evidence, insinuated a qui pro quo with Perry and Merck. She then made the asinine insinuation that Perry was strapping "innocent little girls" to a table and injecting them with the "retarded" needle.
She wants to accuse Merck of "crony capitalism" whilst not openly disclosing that she is the recipient of corporate money from Merck's main competitor, which just so happens to make the other HPV vaccine Cervarix.
I'm also quite curious why Congressman Bachmann has been noticeably quiet about Minnesota mandating innocent 12 month old little babies to get the HEP-B vaccine. There was no opt-out provision in that bill that mandated that vaccine. Using her logic, I'm pretty sure that those innocent little 12 month old babies aren't out having sex, injecting heroin, or getting tats. I've been looking to find sponsored legislation in her name to repeal that bill or offer an opt-out provision. I've had no such luck.
Bachmann unwisely chose this battle, and at some point she will come to regret it.
