Reply #30: Except the vaccine was never made mandatory in Texas, so no one died because of Perry's "mistake."

I really hate this, you're forcing me in a position where I have to defend Texas pols. The local politicians voted it outta the building, Perry did not "renege" on his previous mandate. He simply stated he would not veto the bill to block state officials from following his order. Like he had a choice in it, people in power told him he was about to get run out of Texas on a rail if he didn't take the out offered to him.

As to the rest of that article, I'm not going to bother reading it. If this source cannot bother to fact check something as easy to validate as Perry's mandate if this vaccine, and if it were ever used under said mandate, and chooses to use a sensational and blatantly false headline such as this, I willing to bet it's junk.
