He wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p><em>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.&nbsp;I hereby suspend all relevant statutes to the extent necessary to enforce this prohibition.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In his preamble to that declaration, Abbott noted that he had issued a number of executive orders \u201caimed at protecting the health and safety of Texans, ensuring uniformity across Texas, and achieving the least restrictive means of combatting the evolving threat to public health,\u201d and that \u201cCOVID-19 vaccines are strongly encouraged for those eligible to receive one, but must always be voluntary for Texans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also pointed out that he had previously issued executive orders to bar \u201cgovernmental entities and certain others from imposing COVID- 19 vaccine mandates or requiring vaccine passports\u201d but in \u201cyet another instance of federal overreach, the Biden Administration is now bullying many private entities into imposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates, causing workplace disruptions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded, \u201cThis executive order shall remain in effect and in full force unless it is modified, amended, rescinded, or superseded by the governor. This executive order may also be amended by proclamation of the governor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbbott also called on the Texas state Legislature to pass a law with the same effect. The executive order would be rescinded upon the passage of such legislation, the governor\u2019s office said,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/10\/11\/politics\/texas-vaccine-mandate-greg-abbott\/index.html\">CNN<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>In September, President Biden attacked Abbott and Florida GOP governor Ron DeSantis; last May DeSantis signed a bill allowing \u201cthe state to issue fines beginning Sept. 16 if people are asked to show proof they have received a COVID-19 vaccine before being allowed in businesses, schools, or government buildings,\u201d as WFTV 9&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wftv.com\/news\/trending\/florida-issue-5000-fines-businesses-schools-who-ask-proof-covid-19-vaccine\/MKAZM7KMWZCYNLIIXU64RAGHP4\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Biden started by boasting, \u201cWe\u2019ve made enormous progress against the virus through the summer. And now we put ourselves in a strong position to battle this Delta variant. That\u2019s why the actions I proposed on vaccines last week are so critical. From requiring federal workers to get vaccinated, requiring healthcare workers to be vaccinated, requiring employers with over 100 employees to institute vaccine and or test protocols calling on for them to be able to know what their employees are doing before they walk through the door. Calling for vaccine or test requirements to enter big venues.&nbsp;And a whole series of steps I posed to protect our kids in schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cWe\u2019re facing a lot of pushback, especially from some of the Republican governors. The governors of Florida and Texas are doing everything they can to undermine the life-saving requirements that I\u2019ve proposed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
