Perry Regrets HPV Vaccine Mandate: ‘Could Help Campaign’
COMMENT: It is absolutely disgusting that these Perry apologists use the Gardasil controversy to actually prop-up the Texas Governor who knowingly mandated an unnecessary and dangerous vaccine that maimed and killed young girls and adolescent women. Instead of covering these victims, FOX 4 News parades Perry’s late-after-the-fact apology as a boon to his moral standing and supposed humility. They actually say his wanton abuse of power will therefore HELP his presidential ambitions– unless they target the corrupt money changing that resulted from the close links between Gov. Perry and Merck pharmaceuticals. What about those who were harmed and lost life from his reckless actions?

DALLAS – Gov. Rick Perry’s first full day of campaigning for president included him admitting to making a mistake when it came to mandating a vaccine for young girls.

In 2007 Perry tried to use an executive order to have all girls entering the sixth grade vaccinated with Gardasil, which protects against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus. But after a backlash the Texas Legislature quickly rescinded it.
Perry faced accusations of government intrusion and even shady money dealings with vaccine manufacturer Merck, which donated to his campaign.
Donna Kelley of Allen remembers the Gardasil controversy well and the potential impact it could have had on her daughter Micah, who was still in middle school at the time.
