Rick Perry responded to Michele Bachmann’s accusation that he was influenced by corporate lobbyists to mandate the vaccination of young girls against HPV, a sexually-transmitted disease that can lead to cervical cancer.
“I got lobbied on this issue,“ Perry said. “I got lobbied by a 31-year-old young lady who had stage-4 cervical cancer.”
He also added: “I don’t what about ‘opt-out’ parents don’t understand.”
