Another HPV email

My biggest worry is that in 20 years girls will come up either sterile or having children with birth defects. I don' t think this has been studied enough. This has happened in the past, where our all-knowing government told us something was good for us and it ended up 20 years later with horrendous consequences. In the 50s or 60s women that took a certain drug that was supposed to be OK (I can't remember the name of it), ended up with children with horrible birth defects because of the drug. I don't want my grandchildren to have birth defects because of Governor Rick Perry mandating something that not all parents will research before allowing their daughters to have this vaccination. A lot of parents will go blindly into this deal and figure "well the government said so, so it must be OK."
Also, wasn't it Merck that had to have VIOXX pulled off the shelves because after everyone (the FDA included) said it was OK, it ended up giving people heart attacks? So their stock price is down and they need something to bring it back up again? Good work Mr. Perry -- you've helped the almighty drug company with your senseless, not studied enough mandate that affect all young women of Texas for the rest of their lives.
When did we elect Rick Perry as God? I thought he was supposed to just be the governor.
