If you're interested in Merck, the Gardasil vaccine, and Perry's pharma money and want of a mandate for Texas girls to get the injection (which he now says was a mistake)read OpenSecrets and view video of the Bachmann comments that spurred Perry to say the executive order was not a good idea, then go over to Pharmalot,for article, video and comment section discussion. It's a lively debate, and one worth having, it opens the public arena discussion to pharma contributions to political candidates and Gardasil, and whether it's hype, disease-mongering or an aggressive ad campaign by Merck.
More on that by Alison Bass where she says, "But I wish the media would use this opportunity to explore the public health ramifications of allowing a drug manufacturer to aggressively target the wrong population for an expensive and possibly unnecessary vaccine."
