Texas Governor ORDERS Little Girls In His State To Get HPV Vaccine
Quote:

AUSTIN, Texas - Bypassing the Legislature altogether, Republican Gov. Rick Perry issued an order Friday making Texas the first state to require that schoolgirls get vaccinated against the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer.

Beginning in September 2008, girls entering the sixth grade ? meaning, generally, girls ages 11 and 12 ? will have to receive Gardasil, Merck & Co.?s new vaccine against strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV.

Quote:
Merck is bankrolling efforts to pass state laws across the country mandating Gardasil for girls as young as 11 or 12. It doubled its lobbying budget in Texas and has funneled money through Women in Government, an advocacy group made up of female state legislators around the country.
Perry tied to Merck
Perry has ties to Merck and Women in Government. One of the drug company?s three lobbyists in Texas is Mike Toomey, Perry?s former chief of staff. His current chief of staff?s mother-in-law, Texas Republican state Rep. Dianne White Delisi, is a state director for Women in Government.
