HB 4174 (Rep. Hefner) seeks to make veterans “whole” for the purposes of state benefits if they were discharged from the armed forces due to declining the COVID jabs.
Even though the Department of Defense recently rescinded its COVID vaccine mandate, those who have been discharged thus far were not often done so with honor. These service men and women deserve better, and Texas is prepared to do what it can.
HB 4174 is scheduled for a public hearing on Thursday, April 13 in the House Committee on Defense and Veterans Affairs. Have your voice heard by contacting members of this committee and let them know that they should vote YES on HB 4174!

If women have the right to kill their babies. Why can’t a person have the right NOT to poison himself
If it is “my body, my choice” for women to choose to kill their babies in the womb, then why can’t a person have the right to choose
whether to take a new vaccine or to decline. As we have now seen in the various clinical studies, the increase in all-cause mortality
since the Covid vaccines were given to a large portion of our U.S. population. There is ample date on VAERS regarding the reported
side effects and deaths resulting from the Covid shots. This was a new vaccine that had not been through the necessary testing
periods. If our soldiers decided to decline this vaccine, especially in lieu of having contracted Covid and having natural immunity,
then they should not be additionally punished.
If women have the choice to terminate their pregnancy then who can’t a person have the right NOT to risk unknown effects
from a new vaccine?
Bravo to all the servicemen and women who refused to go along with the clot shot! They recognized the corruption and avoided damage.
BRAVO INDEED! GOD BLESS THEM!!
No American should be forced to accept any medical procedure, (and that includes a vaccine), in order to attend school, work,
play a sport, serve in the military, or attend any public event. There should be no mandated vaccines in America.
My body my choice and I choose not to get the vaccine that I can not get a straight answer about the benefits of taking it.
