How many children were forced to receive Gardasil?
Grand total?
Perry turned his finger to the wind and did the right thing on the HPV issue. Still his awful performance in keeping the Mexican hoard out is enough keep him from consideration as far as I am concerned.
And what is the actual net benefit of the treatment?
The NET Benefit of a medical treatment is
NET BENEFIT = (Risk with NO treatment)*(the net benefit of the treatment) - (The risk of harm).
The serious CDC-reported side effects from Gardasil appear to be
at least 0.054%, with a death rate from Gardasil of 0.0002%
Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds as if "forcing" even a small number to take it is okay with you? That Perry's EO contained the word mandate in the first place says he never intended for there to be an option - he would have said so.
Still Perry instead of Obama is infinitely better.
