Last week was a busy one for medical tyranny, with HB 989 being voted favorably out of the House Committee on Higher Education. This vote was unanimous, which is why we are spotlighting all members of this committee who voted for this bill (3 were absent from the committee vote). Despite being flooded with phone calls and emails from vaccine choice advocates from around the state, and despite the fact that bill author (and #TyrannySquad Queen) Donna Howard lied from the dais about what the bill allows the Department of State Health Services to do, these committee members opted to sell Texas college students out to Big Pharma. If this bill passes, your college students will be inundated with state-funded marketing campaigns promoting Gardasil, and we have had no reliable assurances that an HPV vaccine mandate will not be considered as part of a statewide strategy to lower HPV rates among young men and women. With this committee vote, we now know who is truly committed to protecting medical liberty in Texas and who would rather be a part of the #GardasilGang.
