There...I said it....! Retribution or punishment will be taken kindly.

LOL Tell it to St Rick’s cronies. LOL

Sarah blundered unless she knows something more.

"The vaccine, Gardasil, is manufactured by Merck,
which was represented in Austin by the lobbyist Mike Toomey,
who was chief of staff for Mr. Perry from 2002 to 2004. "

2007
On 2/7/07, the WSJ reported that Merck was desperate for cash.
With estimates that the settlements Merck will owe for its Vioxx litigation
will amount to approximately $970 million, and the expiration of some of its patents,
Merck faces a huge cash flow problem.
But if Gardasil is mandated, Merck will generate sales of approximately
$1 billion in the first year alone, with 5 year revenue projections of up to $4 billion"

2007
In 2007, when Texas governor Rick Perry issued
an executive order that all girls entering the 6th grade
would receive Gardasil, parents were furious.
Some argued that the vaccine would promote promiscuity.
The order was eventually overturned."

"Critics rip Perry's vaccine mandate
Governor rejects opponents' calls to reverse order
AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry stood firm Monday against a political firestorm generated by his
order that sixth-grade girls be inoculated against a sexually transmitted virus linked to cervical cancer.
Social conservatives from Texas to Washington called on Perry to reverse his order making
Texas the first state to require the vaccine, saying the mandate makes sex seem permissible
and that parents should be the ones to decide whether to immunize their daughters.
And several Texas lawmakers expressed outrage at Perry for circumventing the legislative process. "

"RP65 - Relating to the immunization of young women
from the cancer-causing Human Papillomavirus.
Friday, February 02, 2007 o Executive Order
BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF TEXAS
Rules.The Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner
shall adopt rules that mandate the age appropriate vaccination
of all female children for HPV prior to admission to the sixth grade."

The definition of mandate is a command by a person,
group, or organization (the 'mandator') to another
(the 'mandatary') to act in a particular way, or here
to ingest, inject, imbed a poison or other substance
they do not want and for which informed consent was
never taken.

BACKGROUND
There are over 40 Types of HPV, and 15 of them
have been linked to cervical cancer and/or genital warts.
Gardasil has been developed to vaccinate
against the 4 Types that have the highest
correlation with cancer and genital warts.
However, unlike the smallpox vaccine, for example,
Gardasil does not grant full immunity to those 4 Types of HPV.
Gardasil offers no protection against the other
11 strains of HPV that have been linked to cervical cancer. "

2009
Merck and the Gardasil Vaccine Show Us the Money
First there was the news that Gardasil sales had dropped by 16% in 2008.
As CNBC’s Mike Huckman bluntly put it,
“From the third quarter of last year to the fourth quarter
Gardasil sales fell off a cliff… Merck officials said part of the Gardasil problem
is that so many 11-18 year-old females have already been
inoculated that they're running out of new customers.
And the 19-26 year-old population continues to be a marketing challenge.”"

2010
The main problem with Gardasil seems to be the equivalent of a design flaw.
To be completely immunized, women have
to get a series of three shots over six months.
Many women don't.
The Centers for Disease Control reported in late
August that while 44% of teenagers received the HPV vaccine in 2009,
only 27% of them received all three doses of the shot.
Unfortunately, there isn't evidence to support
that getting only one shot effectively protects against cancer. "

2011
CDC: "As of June 22, 2011, approximately 35 million doses of Gardasil®
were distributed in the U.S. and VAERS received a total
of 18,727 reports of adverse events

As of June 22, 2011 there have been a total 68 VAERS reports
of death among those who have received Gardasil®."

"Foaming at the mouth, shock, seizures, paralysis,
coma-even death have been reported
as a result of taking the vaccine Gardasil from Merck ... "

"Gardasil Causes 400 Percent More Deaths than Other Common Vaccine
A federal report has concluded that the human papillomavirus (HPV)
vaccine Gardasil has a 400 percent higher rate of adverse effects
than another comparable vaccine, the Menactra anti-meningitis shot. "

They also have all kinds of mandates on lots of other vaccines. Why are we singling out the HPV vaccine. If it is wrong to mandate one of them, it's wrong to mandate all of them.

This is a non issue.

If either one has proof, it is something to discuss. If not, it is just speculation and a low blow to sucker punch Rich Perry.

Although, it is better to have this discussion now instead of leading up to the general.

Disgusting?

How about true....now that's disgusting....

Live with it chief, it's absolutely true, the man is up to his neck with his cronies in business.

Disgusting innuendo about Perry

His motivation without the disgusting innuendo could be considered worse.

Perry rescinded the order and has already said the whole thing was a blunder. They’ll have to do better than that. Look, I’ve been a Palin fan for a long time but either she never intended to run or she now understands that she has played cat and mouse too long.

You obviously did not follow this when it first occurred as I did....because I had been warning people about this vaccine. Rick Perry made a dumb decision and when called out by parents warring against him....he backed off....this is precisely what Sarah Palin has been talking about...politicians listening to outside interests influencing their decisions which affect each of our lives. After the outrage over his mandating this be given to all girls over age 12, it came to light about his connection with Merck....go back and read this as it happened...and make your own mind up.

When you’re a bottom tier candidate and have nothing else to offer, you bring up the low class negative attacks. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was Rollins’ idea.

SO Palin attack Perry about allege crony capitalism? SO its’ even more certain she will endorse Perry!! /s

That’s all we hear from fake-A** Freepers after Sarah repeated has mark differences between her and Perry since he announces at that Saturday and yet some trolls keep pushing that garbage....you might not like what Palin said but Im glad she said it to make the jerks around look like fools pushing the same tire old meme

What was wrong about it was that the drug was not tested long enough. He made it a mandate that a person had to go to the trouble to opt out of.

Of course the men were not required.

It has a very ugly appearance, no matter how you slice it, when you take any money at all from the company who made a drug you were forcing on to people.

Nobody can prove intent, but if a dem had done it, we would be screaming.

I suppose everyone has their price. But very few people at Perry’s level will sell their souls for a measly 5K contribution. Bachmann knows this.

I have no idea how her attack will play. I just know I was disappointed in her.

(BTW, I agree that the mandate was a mistake, even with the opt-out.)

Perry to parents: I deem you irrelevant by Executive Order. It should have been up to the parents. Some girls died, allegedly after it. I never allowed my children to take medicines less than 20 years old. If a med is going to adversely affect them or their future children I want to know. Anything rushed or mandated makes me weary. If it is truly a medical Miracle it will not need a mandate. The simple fact that medicines can form immune complexes that deposit on tissues assures me we do not understand long term issues with any medication.

Bachmann has continued to show herself to be a lightweight candidate. The red meat stuff might be great for fundraising, but each day she has look more desperate and irrelevant. She'll be lucky to make it past Iowa.

Rick Perry is nothing more then what she said, a crony capitalist. As far as I’m concerned he’s done.

It is widely known that Perry mandated the use of gardasil for school children, and that gardasil is a very dangerous drug.

Diogenesis has assembled links to some of the numerous relevant articles about this.

It makes sense to have shots for some diseases. Mandating that young schoolgirls should be required to get dangerous and questionable shots useful only against STDs was just plain WRONG.

During that debate, Perry said he got $5,000 from Merck, adn he raised $30M. He said to Bachmann: If you think I can be bought for $5,000, I am offended”. It left her speechless. This was the right response against such ludicrous accusations which are nothing more than smears.

Bachmann should be ashamed of herself.

I believe it is rational for the big drug companies to make the case for their products, even to our elected officials. I do however expect our elected officials to consult with people holding enough varied opinions, that rational decisions can be made, despite the hard sell.

I believe it would be wrong to freeze a company like Merck out, when it comes to a product they think will save lives. I do think there are rational arguments for holding off on going with a government mandate right out of the box, and wiser heads should have prevailed here.

Perry should know, that presenting this information to the Legislature and allowing a lot more discussion would be the best course.

I am astounded that he used the Executive Order for this. I am also astounded that he forced parents and girls opt out, rather than provide access and allow them to opt in.

There’s some seriously flawed logic on his part demonatrated in conjunction with this.

I do think that it is overkill to state this is definitely a case of Perry giving favors to pharmaceutical industry insiders.

That’s pretty tough to prove.

It's true. These ladies are scrapping for relevance the only way they can at this point. Palin as much as confessing she's a troll, running around trying to stir things up for those who need to be told what to think, while Bachmann...ugh.

Still, the truth is, it's all "out there" on Perry, all his warts -- those things that don't matter a hill of beans to voters looking to climb out of this jobless hole Obama put us in. Perry had the kitchen sink thrown at him and undoubtedly survived. Tonight needed to happen. All good.
