If you’ve been following the news out of D.C. on federal vaccine policy, you may be feeling a little dizzy. And understandably so.
In just eight months, we’ve seen enough ups, downs, and corkscrews to give anyone whiplash:
- January: An HHS Decision Memo dramatically restructured the federal childhood immunization schedule.
- March: Those changes were quickly caught up in litigation and stayed by federal Judge Brian Murphy, who sided with the AAP.
- May: President Trump’s Executive Order on childhood vaccines offered an encouraging step forward, but the CDC remains prohibited from implementing the revised schedule because of the March court stay.
- June: A federal appeals court denied religious exemptions for Amish families in New York.
- July: Dr. Fauci refused to answer questions under oath about his tyrannical COVID response and the vaccine roll out.
- August: President Trump’s latest Executive Order, which also does not bypass the March judicial stay, is better understood as a “policy declaration,” urging states to realign their school vaccine requirements.
That’s a lot to keep up with. But here’s what we beg you to remember:
None of this changes our Texas mission.
Yes, TFVC absolutely cares about and advocates for protective federal vaccine policy, particularly repealing the 1986 federal law that shields vaccine manufacturers from liability, and we will continue to follow these developments closely.
But chasing the ever-changing federal vaccine schedule itself is not our focus.
Our focus is something far more fundamental: ensuring every Texan has the legal right to say no to any vaccine at any time, regardless of what happens in Washington. If Texas law protects that right, these federal twists and turns become largely irrelevant.
The federal vaccine roller coaster may keep moving, but our eyes are on Texas.
