RT's dilemma

So I have this problem.
The Republican governor of our state went ahead last week and issued an executive order mandating that girls going into sixth grade be innoculated from HPV.
This order happens to be a cash cow for Merck, since the vaccine goes for about $300 a pop.
Merck and the governor are tight enough, though I don't think that the $6,000 in Merck gave last year is enough to sway this sort of decision, to raise eyebrows on the issue.
Republicans are pissed. Pissed, I tell you. There are angry letters being written as I speak. You see, vaccination will promote promiscuity* and if girls get the vaccine then they'll think that it's ok to go out and have sex 24/7, because they're now protected from a sexually trasmitted disease that causes 70% of cervical cancers.
