I like Abbott's stance on this. I agree like him that the vaccine is primarily safe and effective.

BUT it should remain voluntary.

Over and over with the mandates and moving the goal posts. And the more they hand out mandates and the more they misinform and lie, the more people will fight back.

Texas Gov. Abbott issues order banning Covid vaccination mandates in rebuke of Biden

Abbott has also resisted mask mandates and requiring proof of vaccination in the state

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order on Monday prohibiting any entity, including private businesses, from imposing Covid-19 vaccination requirements on employees or customers.

"The COVID-19 vaccine is safe, effective, and our best defense against the virus, but should remain voluntary and never forced," said Abbott said in a statement.

Abbott, a Republican, said in his order that it was prompted by the Biden administration’s vaccine federal mandate, which the governor called federal overreach.

President Joe Biden announced a mandate last month requiring companies with 100 or more employees to ensure that their workforces are vaccinated or regularly tested. The Labor Department has yet to release details of the emergency rule, but Biden last week called on companies to act now and not to wait for the requirement to go into effect.
