First of all, there was an opt out clause in the original exeutive order. It was never in reality “mandatory.” My son and his wife have opted my grandkids (ages 15 and 16) out of ALL vaccinations here in Texas, and have attended public and private schools here. It is always the parent’s choice, and Perry even stated that in an interview, saying parents would have the final word and they could opt their children out for religious, scientific, or any other reason - the final decision rested with the parents. So much hysteria about something that happened 4 years ago. But the lies continue. And I am a conservative, and I did not approve of what Perry wanted to do, but I knew it was not really mandatory, either.
Perry’s ties with Merck are fair game, but the hysteria over a “mandatory” vaccine that was never mandatory in reality is just silly. Once again two of my grandkids have NEVER received any vaccinations in their entire lives as their parents opted them out for religious reasons, and they have attended both public and private schools here in Texas.
So you support someone who want to increase state control over for example, vaccinations required of students (for other than religious reasons)?
Isn’t that a “big government” position?
Just asking...
