We have an amazing show today with a COVID-19 vaccine update from Texans for Vaccine Choice, and a wonderful report from Dr. Al Danenberg regarding his latest PET scan.

Update on a COVID-19 Vaccine in Texas

Here is a recap of our discussion with Jackie Schlegel of Texans for Vaccine Choice.Can you tell us about your recent letter to Governor Abbott?In his April 17 press conference, Gov. Abbott mentioned several times that Texas would not get back to normal until the vaccine was available. He emphasized testing, alluding to the possibility that testing results might be needed in order to return back into society. Our letter asked him to clarify 2 of his positions:

• A negative COVID-19 test will not be required for Texans to return to work and other activities.

• The state will not mandate that any Texas residents receive a COVID-19 vaccine as a condition to return to work, maintain/obtain employment, attend school or childcare, or access state services.

According to Schlegel, although Texas has a strong history of honoring its citizens' right to make medical decisions without government intrusion, we are seeing an unfortunate trend of policy makers cross lines and take uncharacteristic actions. It is this trend, combined with his remarks, that have many Texans concerned over the policies the state may enact regarding COVID-19 testing and vaccination.Abbott has scaled back his vaccine rhetoric since the letter. But at the same time, he has not taken a strong stance clarifying his position.Schlegel says the most important call-to-action any of us can do is to take responsibility for the health and wellness of ourselves and our family. No matter what your stance is on vaccines, it’s our rights as Texans and as humans to decide what we do for our health.Listen to the entire interview, or visit the Texans for Vaccine Choice website for more information.
