Seeing as Rick Perry is the front runner so far for the GOP presidential nomination, it is important to be informed about his policies. The article for which I embedded a link is an article about a policy Rick Perry mandated here in Texas. Perry issued a mandatory Human Papillomavirus vaccine for 12 year old girls. He said it was because "abstinence isn't as sure a prevention as a vaccine". The article disputes Perry's policy based on his contradicting views. According to this article, Perry "accepts the scientific consensus that it comes to the safety and efficacy of the vaccine that prevents the HPV virus that causes cervical and other cancers. But he has openly expressed doubts about the scientific consensus in the matter of evolution or the human role in global warming". The article became even more interesting when it pointed out that Perry's former chief of staff is a lobbyist for the vaccine's manufacturer, Merck. Hmmm... I wonder what exactly Perry is getting for his mandatory vaccine policy. Maybe financial contributions? And the government expects us to believe that politicians aren't corrupt. Yeah right.
