Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has made another move against nonsensical COVID policies. Today, he signed an executive order banning vaccine mandates by any entity in the state. This would hit corporations that have begun to follow federal guidelines to mandate vaccines for all their employees. And though an official rule from OSHA has yet to materialize as threatened, Abbott’s move is in direct defiance of Joe Biden.

This comes in the midst of a meltdown happening at Southwest Airlines over a coming vaccine mandate in November. Reports continue to indicate that employees of the Texas-based air carrier are using sick days in anticipation of being fired for not conforming to the mandate. That has left thousands of flights canceled over the last several days, and while Southwest Airlines has blamed weather and ATC issues, those “issues” have not affected any other airline. Clearly, the issue is internal.
Given that, perhaps this move by Abbott is actually a lifeline worked out via back channels? Southwest Airlines, which has already faced a lawsuit over the mandate, can now claim their hands are tied and lift the requirements. That gets air and maintenance crews back to work — while allowing the airline to somewhat save face for its terrible decision to follow Joe Biden’s lead.
We’ll have to wait and see how this shakes out. Southwest Airlines could decide to simply ignore the directive or to fight it in court, at which point their position would be clearly staked and the fight would escalate. They’d certainly pay a large consumer and employee price for such a move, but if they want to be that stupid, it’s their company. I doubt they go that route, though.
For Abbott’s part, Republican governors continue to lead the fight against COVID tyranny. Without them holding the line, who knows where we’d be as a nation. These mandates are ridiculous from a standpoint of liberty but are also completely unnecessary from a scientific standpoint. Everyone spreads COVID. There is no need to “protect” vaccinated employees from their unvaccinated counterparts via force.
Abbott’s order is already eliciting gnashing of teeth from the left, and that’s as good a sign as any that it was the right move.
All the governors have to run around trying to fix the messes created by President Retard 🤪
Every Republican Governor in the United States needs to do this. Period.
Are the summers unbearable in Galveston TX?
I won’t hold my breath.
A handful might, but it seems the vast majority of RINOs have a lot more love for fascism than freedom.
States will have to step up in this insane bizarro world…
Bttt
Some of them anyway.
They really need to pound forcing people with natural immunity is anti-science. This exposes the lies the establishment have told.
Hmmm
My company is based in TX
What does this mean for me in CA?
I live in Texas and am retired but work part time. We just got the word today that they are going to enforce the vax/negative test requirement soon for us. My company is incorporated in another state (Missouri) so I don’t know if this EO will have any bearing. I hope so.
The bottom-line question which centers on the bottom line: Are Governor Abbott and the People of Texas willing to forego federal aid? Almost certainly not and if not, this will not amount to much.
But if so, we may have a state that will finally stand up to the tyranny of the federal government. I’ve always said - just ONE STATE. If they follow through and go without federal aid, other states will follow. At that point, we may actually have a revolution against the Leftist dictatorship and for our Free Constitutional Republic on our hands
Question. If a business owner on his own volition, without federal input, mandates his employees get vaccinated or wear masks shouldn’t he have that right?
Can that same business owner mandate a Jew or Muslim eat pork too?
I would call him the POTUS FU....
IF they could find some spines...MAYBE they would come together.
Alabama Grandma Ivey is hiding in he PJs order her bed the POS Republican politician she is.
Texas is hell’s front porch in the summer. Triple digit temperatures and no rain for two to three months in a typical year over most of the state.
Masks yes. Could be considered mandatory work attire..
The vax that isn’t a vax? Could he force women to get boob jobs? Or men to get circumcised? Bad examples, but it’s late LOL
The key here is that people don’t have to work for a particular employer. The only real way this can be scuttled is by a sufficient number of employees simply refusing. They can’t fire them all as SW is learning. 20% of your employees just stop working and everything will turn to sludge. Make the business choose between woke and broke and see what happens.
I have suppliers that are that short of help and it is a nightmare for them and me.
At least 1/3 of FR was COVID tards at one time. Seems, many here don’t know what freedom means.
