GOP Candidates Explode Against Rick Perry Over Mandatory Vaccinations In CNN Debate

video
» 149 comments

As expected at least at some point in the night, all guns turned on frontrunner Rick Perry midway through the Republican debate hosted by CNN and the Tea Party tonight. Somewhat surprisingly, the turning point came after a question about Perry’s executive order mandating HPV vaccines for girls, which several other candidates, notably Rep. Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum, found “offensive.”

Perry didn’t seem to 100% support his decision to mandate the HPV vaccine against cancer, noting that the “way I went about it” would change if he had a second chance. That didnt’ stop Rep. Bachmann from attacking strongly. “I’m a mom,” she responded, “and to have innocent little 12-year-old girls be forced to have a government injection through an executive order is just flat-out wrong.”

Perry replied that his decision was “about trying to stop a cancer,” arguing, “at the end of the day, you may criticize me about the way that I went about it… [but] I am always going to err on the side of life.”

Somewhat unexpectedly, Rick Santorum hopped into the debate to rail against the vaccines himself, and particularly the fact that vaccinations are often given in public schools, without giving parents a choice. The attention went swiftly back to Rep. Bachmann, however, as she brought up campaign contributions that Perry found “offensive.” “I’m offended for all the little girls that didn’t make a choice,” she retorted.

    Earth to non Rick Perry debate particiants, all vaccines are government mandated in tis country.

    Your son or daughter cannot enter school or try out for sports without proof of up todate vaccinations.

    The HPV vaccine reducing cervical cancer is a good thing.

    Santorum & Bachmann are averse to the sexual aspect of this desease and are not being honest in their actual motives for piling on.

    Not to mention Perry is without even breaking a sweat kicking all 2012 hopefuls, including Obama’s ass ” ten ways from Sunday”.

    Perry did just fine; he admitted he made a mistake…a far cry more than most politicians would ever do.  Obama for example, would never admit a mistake, and his media sychophants would never admit one either.

  • Alcarrie

    Your rhetoric clearly indicates your party affiliation.  Using negative connotations for a group of people will not alter that fact that your president’s about as popular as hip-hop at a conservative party.  He was for educating those who already live here, especially at this time since the FEDS (Obama) won’t close the border.  He said clearly that he was for securing the border.  Perhaps a little listening is in order.

    So do they all agree that I don’t need car insurance? What a wild west they imagine.

  • insideguy

    no alcarrie. He made a huge mistake. He’s advocating paying for illegal immigrants college education. Thats going to kill him. The border security thing was him trying to deflect. They are all for border security big deal. So is Obama he’s increased border patrol by 100%. Perry was advocating hiring even more federal workers for border security. Great way to reduce the size of federal government lol

  • insideguy

    I know did you catch that? Bachman said that no state could make people pay mandatory insurance on anything and that it was unconstitutional!

  • Sharpo

    “morning after abortion pill” are you serious bro?

    only 90 year old people are gonna believe that. the rest are gonna giggle.

  • Sharpo

    When did Bachmann ever care about Drug mandates. EVER?

  • ganymede

    Wow, this stuff is great! These crazy people get crazier when they debate amongst themselves. Perry was obviously pushed by Merck to do something that was way beyond early childhood vaccinations. From all accounts this type of vaccine is not 100% safe and many experts have questioned its validity. Mr. Pro-Life, pro death penalty Perry didn’t mention that over 25% of Texans have no health insurance at all compared to say Massachusetts which has Romneycare and 95% of its population has coverage. Bachmann than goes off about the morning after pill which is safe and effective, but, lordy, all those 2-3 day old fetuses destroyed. And you rightwingers would have these backward people running our country. You must be crazy, too.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_WH3ZLMM7CUKUHUIMK4TKXW6SQE John

    He is arguing for IN-STATE tuition- not free.  If an illegal immigrant can be carried accross the border as a kid, learn english, grow up in a low income househould, get good enough grades to get into college, and afford IN-STATE tuition… then by all means let them go to college.  Are we talking about… what… 5 kids a year tops?  God forbid they actually get an education and a job that actually pays income taxes!

  • Marsaili

    Actually, that is a lie.  I can fill out an exemption form that says my kid can’t get vaccinations due to religious or personal reasons–I do it every year.  HPV Vaccines are DANGEROUS—Perry is in the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies—that’s all his “executive order” was about–not saving young girls from cancer.  Many of those young girls who were forced to have that vaccine will become sterile or endure major health issues due to gardasil.  There is no way in hell that Perry is going to even come CLOSE to beating Obama.  Are you a shill for Perry, the Tea Party or the pharmaceutical company?

    I’m saying this hatred for illegal immigrants is just a scapegoat in a bad economy.  Illegals pay sales and property taxes (through rent).  Some are even assigned ESNs by the IRS to pay federal income taxes (I was a tax examiner back in the day and was surprised how common this was).  Most are just hard working people looking for a better life.  And having grown up in Texas I can attest to the values that Mexicans bring to the table and how fast they assimilate to American culture.

    Oh, that’s BS.  He had no choice but to admit he made a mistake.  What’s more telling is he says he “always errs on the side of life”, yet he erred on a vaccine that could actually kill young girls, or render them sterile.  His motives are NOT about protecting children, it’s about cold hard cash as it always is with Perry.  What…promote abstinence out of one side of his mouth, and promote a STD-related vaccine on the other?

    Errs on the side of life, my A$$.  How many executions so far? How many innocent people executed?

    Greg, the difference between driving and health insurance is that one is being done at the State level and the other is being done at the Federal level.  In the end, since insurance markets affect us all, mandating health insurance will pass a Commerce Clause test, but it is not akin to driving with car insurance

    I had no problem with Perry’s Gardisil position when he signed it, but MY OWN PEDIATRICIAN advocated that my daughters have it, and she is practically a Christian Scientist when it comes to what she considers unnecessary medications. I don’t like that Perry did it by executive order, but that’s not a fatal flaw since he acknowledges that he was wrong (what a refreshing thing for a politician to admit). 

    The immigration issue is the most difficult one. Perry’s right that you cannot simply put up a fence- the border is too long and the land mass is too big- we need a multi-pronged approach that includes boots on the ground, drones, an ENFORCED E-verify program, and a coordination between Homeland Security and Immigration. The problems of border security MUST be solved before you can even address illegal aliens who are ALREADY in the country. Reagan’s mistake when he got an amnesty program was to believe that the Democrats actually wanted to solve the problem rather than add “new Democrat voters” to the entitlement rolls.

Ninety-two percent were reports of events considered to be non-serious (e.g., fainting, pain and swelling at the injection site (arm), headache nausea and fever.As of 1 September 2009 (2009 -09-01)[update], there have been 44 U.S. reports of death among females who have received the vaccine.[ None of the 27 confirmed deaths of women and girls who had taken the vaccine were linked to the vaccine.Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a rare disorder that causes muscle weakness, has been reported after vaccination with Gardasil. There is no evidence suggesting that Gardasil causes or raises the risk of GBS. Additionally, there have been rare reports of blood clots forming in the heart, lungs and legs.As of 5 November 2009 (2009 -11-05)[update] the CDC continues to recommend Gardasil vaccination for the prevention of four types of HPV.

    Though, being called a “dipshit” by a jackass who wouldn’t know what the Constitution said if it came up and showed him it commerce clause has been the most ironic part of my day

    HPV vaccine should not be mandatory. Isn’t there a better way to prevent HPV ?  It is not like other diseases such as polio, mums or measles. Making it mandatory, especially, at such a very young age does not make any sense, it is wrong. There is no religion playing here, just common sense.  This is scarier than the disease itself ! Please do not support such act in future. It is wrong.
