The Governor of the Republic of Texas Greg Abbott, responded to what he called “bullying” by Biden administration, on Monday forbid all Covid-19 vaccine mandates in the state with private entities, including private entrepreneurs.
Abbott’s move hit him to clash with President Joe Biden, a Democrats who last month asked for a business nationally to order their workers to vaccinate or lose their work.
At least a few thousand people have been fired for refusing to obey.
“In another example of the Federal Overneach, the Biden government is now influencing many private entities to impose the Covid-19 vaccine mandate, causing labor disruptions that threaten the recovery of Texas continues from the Covid-19 disaster,” Abbott said in the executive order.
The White House has no direct comments.
ABBOTT order states that “no entity in Texas” can force evidence of vaccination by each individual, including employees or customers.
He asked members of the state parliament to take problems in the upcoming special session.

Google has told employees that they will need evidence of vaccination to return to their office.
Both companies use large quantities in Texas.
Airlines to America based in Fort-worthy, the biggest US carrier, last week told 100,000 employees based in the US, they must submit full evidence of vaccination no later than November 24 – or fired.
United Airlines imposes a vaccine mandate in 60,000 employees, around 9,000 of which are based in Texas.
The company maintained a lawsuit filed in Fort Worth, and federal judges on Wednesday will hear the request of United’s employees for orders to prevent their carrier requesting the exception.
Biden issued his mandate in September when his government struggled to control the pandemic, which had killed more than 700,000 Americans.
Political leaders throughout the United States have pressure on not vaccinated in recent weeks.
Laws that need proof of vaccination are very controversial in the United States, with many Americans criticizing them as not constitutional and authoritarian.
The supporters of the vaccine mandate saw them as needed to attract the nation from a pandemic of almost two years and returned to normal.
