HPV: The Aftermath
After taking testimony on the HPV vaccine until after 1 a.m., the House's Public Health Committee adjourned. They're saving their own debate on Rep. Dennis Bonnen's bill to override Gov. Perry's mandate until Wednesday, an upbeat but weary Rep. Ellen Cohen said this morning. But the fireworks may not be as good as they were last night. My favorite exchange of the evening came around 11:30:
Angry Anti-Vaccine Man 1: "Texas shouldn't be in the business of providing preventative health care for teenage sluts....I don't care if Texas' uninsured die on the sidewalk."
41-year-old Uterine Cancer Survivor: "I guess that makes me a teenage slut."
