These mandates must fall. One such effort is the proposed Texas COVID Vaccine Freedom Act. The proposal is based on the common law rule that informed consent does not exist when a patient is coerced or compelled to receive a medical procedure. The Act would make it illegal to administer a COVID-19 vaccine without receiving a patient’s informed consent, something workers coerced into getting a shot cannot provide.
The private mandates are largely the result of government meddling, not liberty. And now it is time for the States to mitigate the unintended consequences of liability protections extended by Congress.
