> Abbott, who was previously vaccinated and also later tested positive for COVID-19, noted in his order that "vaccines are strongly encouraged for those eligible to receive one, but must always be voluntary for Texans."

FWIW, vaccine mandates don't make sense to me. The vaccine benefits should speak for themselves.

Vaccine mandates don't make sense since they don't allow for the concept of natural immunity. The CDC allows you to show proof of previous infection for measles instead of getting vaccinated.

Proofs of previous infection to be required to shown don't make much sense either. Antibodies to be found in the blood do.

FWIW, drunk driving laws don't make sense to me. The benefits of sober driving should speak for themselves.

Drunk driving laws are not the Prohibition. They merely say don't drive if you drank too much alcohol. If only there were something that someone could do if getting sick... hmmm... like stay at home?
