The Texas Tribune reports:
Republicans are filing bills which aim to claw back vaccine requirements. There is even a House joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Texas Constitution that would preserve Texans’ right to refuse a vaccination. The proposal is among more than 20 bills endorsed by Texans For Vaccine Choice that have been filed, most of them before the legislative session began this month.
Among them include legislation that would:
Make it easier for parents to opt out of vaccinations, ensure no one is denied medical care based on vaccination status, keep across-the-board vaccine mandates at bay, give the Texas Legislature final approval on any new vaccinations required by schools, apply more rules for dispensing the COVID-19 vaccination, demand more transparency when it comes to a national clearinghouse on adverse effects of vaccines.
Read the full article. Texans For Vaccine Choice has published a lengthy list of anti-vax bills they support. They also oppose a bill that would allow childcare facilities to publish the percentage of vaccinated children, a bill that would promote the HPV vaccine, a bill requiring schools to comply with public health rules, and a bill allowing pharmacy technicians to administer vaccines.
