If the vaccine works, why does a vaxed person give two hoots what anyone else does. If the vaccine doesn't work, then you are a complete moron if you think this and get the shot. Why get a vaccine you think does not work?

The real deal here is that masks, vaccines and business closures were NEVER about stopping china virus. It has ALWAYS been a power grab by the elitist power structure in Washington. These were all simply tests to see how much liberty Americans are willing to give up.

I am with you on this one. I received a LOT of vaccinations in my 21 year USAF career, and I am NOT "antivaxx". At no time did the USAF say, nor even hint, that any of those were just to "keep you from dying" or some such. No, it was understood that it was to keep us from getting sick in the first place from whatever we were vaccinated against. Now, there is the occasional person out of however many (usually like one in one million or some other large number) where a particular vaccine doesn't "take" and they find out the unfortunate hard way that it didn't. But generally quality vaccines work for most people, they get the shot(s) and never get sick with __________ (fill in the blank with whatever disease). My wife and I are GenXers. Neither of us knows any other GenXer or younger who has ever gotten polio, and that used to ravage this nation. It's not that we know people who got polio but got over it because they were vaccinated against it...we just don't know anyone from our generation or younger who got it AT ALL. So, again, I agree with you. I think the bar for what vaccines are supposed to do has been changed to meet the current circumstances, primarily for political purposes, and that's a sad testament to how badly things are going these days. That all said, I would never tell anyone to NOT get vaccinated if they wanted to, I just don't want something that hasn't been properly long-term tested to be mandated, over threats of people losing their livelihood. That's just flat out wrong.

Personally, I wish that we would go beyond merely saying that there will be no state / local vaccine mandates for employees and customers. I'd love to see Texas directly contradict Biden's new vaccine mandate and directly state that businesses in Texas are forbidden from imposing a vaccine mandate on either employees or customers. We need to go beyond merely suing the Federal government on this crap, and actually put them on the defensive where they need to sue us.

One concern here is with what happens while any case is being litigated. If businesses feel like they need to implement a mandate per the tyrant's decree, then I fear that the damage will be done, even if that mandate is ultimately determined to be unconstitutional.

Just my 2 cents here.

I believe the scope of this special session regards redistricting due to the new census data. Texas gained two Fed House seats.
