    Texas Governor Issues Executive Order Banning Vaccine Mandates By Any Entity


    TUESDAY, OCT 12, 2021 - 08:14 AM
    By Mimi Nguyen Ly of Epoch Times

    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday issued an executive order that bans vaccine mandates by any entity, including private employers, in the state.

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

    The executive order (pdf) states, “No entity in Texas can compel receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine by any individual, including an employee or a consumer, who objects to such vaccination for any reason of personal conscience, based on a religious belief, or for medical reasons, including prior recovery from COVID-19.”

    “I hereby suspend all relevant statutes to the extent necessary to enforce this prohibition,” Abbott wrote in the order.

    He also added the issue as an agenda to the third special legislative session which is currently convened until Oct. 19, to give lawmakers the opportunity to pass a law to similar effect.

    “The executive order will be rescinded upon the passage of such legislation,” Abbott wrote.

    President Joe Biden in September issued a directive to compel private companies with over 100 employees to have their workers be vaccinated or tested weekly. Once in force, companies face $13,600 in fines per violation.

    At the time, Abbott called Biden’s move “an assault on private businesses” and said that “Texas is already working to halt this power grab,” joining more than a dozen states in resisting the mandate.

    The text of Abbott’s latest executive order, GA-40, reads, “in yet another instance of federal overreach, the Biden Administration is now bullying many private entities into imposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates, causing workforce disruptions that threaten Texas’ s continued recovery from the COVID- 19 disaster.”

    It adds, “countless Texans fear losing their livelihoods because they object to receiving a COVID-19 vaccination for reasons of personal conscience, based on a religious belief, or for medical reasons, including prior recovery from COVID-19.”

    The governor noted in his executive order that the Texas legislature “has taken care to provide exemptions that allow people to opt out of being forced to take a vaccine for reasons of conscience or medical reasons.”

    Abbott previously in June signed into law a measure that bans government entities and private businesses from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination as a condition for service or entry. Businesses that don’t comply with the law will not be able to enter any state contracts and will be ineligible to receive a grant.

    A previous executive order Abbott signed in April did not cover private businesses with regard to vaccine passports

    When the Governor wrote, "vaccine is safe, effective, and our best defense against the virus," He shot down His executive order, as some higher echelon guru is going to use that statement to overthrow the ballance of His executive order.

    You betcha that will be used against him and not one person or company is going to abide by such a ridiculous order at all. And they should not follow such nut as this Governor has been in the first place putting such a ban like this in place. Vaccinesx worked science tells us so, don't listen to the far righties that are so misleading and putting out so many falsehoods, that it is putting many people at risk if they follow such drivel coming form the far righties.

    I see your only trolling the vaccine posts!!!

    62% of COVID deaths in Britain have been the vaccinated!!

    There is such a thing as Natural immunity..

    99% survival rate!!

    More people have died from COVID under Biden's admin, yet you are silent on that "FACT".

    Keep up your PROPOGANDA Ops..

    I talked to a friend of mine that has positive view of the anti-mandate wording by Governor Abott:

    Since the courts promote killing babies because "females have a right to decide things about their body"
    This logic apples to refusing dangerous injections too.
