"SNIP......

“Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Wednesday announced an executive order banning COVID-19 vaccine mandates regardless of a vaccine’s approval status with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration,” the Texas Tribune reports.

“The order comes two days after the FDA granted full approval to the Pfizer vaccine. That raised questions about the fate of a previous Abbott order that prohibited vaccine mandates, but only for those under emergency authorization.”

2. Dear Greg

Wouldn't it be better to spend Texans' tax dollars on fixing the power grid rather than on the lawsuits that will follow these bullshit Executive Orders?

This won't stand any more than your effort to ban mask mandates.

You, sir, are an idiot and I hope you are run out of office in the next election. And take Patrick and Paxton with you.

3. Taking the Alamo strategy

Guess Abbott forgot how that went.

6. So one thing this means

That UT MD Anderson (and all UT hospitals)…a hospital that takes care of cancer patients….can’t mandate that their employees vaccinate to protect their patients.
