While his term is now over, there are others who share his opinion.

It's the same for the HPV vaccine which has been developed, and was 100% effective in the 6000+ tests run. The simple, effective vaccine would save the 200 thousand + women who die of cervical cancer as a result of the infection each year. Yet, it was vetoed because these pricks feel their religious selfishness is more important than the health of the rest of the world.
do you have an article for that? it seems a little far fetched that a life saving vaccine would be thrown away simply because of a few religious objections
