The push for this bill comes amid a significant increase in vaccine exemption requests in Texas. Since 2018, the number of requests submitted to the state health agency has more than doubled, rising from approximately 45,900 to over 93,000 in 2024. This trend reflects a growing movement among some Texans advocating for expanded vaccine choice rights!

Good going Texas! Now for the rest of the states that DONT have a very similar process for opting out. Heck, just ban all jabs. But for the time being .....

Thank you!

JOINT INQUIRY INTO ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESSIONAL ACTIONS

BEFORE AND DURING THE BIOTERRORIST ATTACKS OF JULY 4, 2025

US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES PERMANENT SELECT COMMITTEE ON

INTELLIGENCE AND US SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE

CHAIR: I call this first hearing of the Joint Inquiry to order. Nine weeks ago, some

nation or terrorist group—we still do not know who—attacked the Nation’s Capital

and other US cities with biological weapons as we celebrated Independence Day.

The infectious agent they used killed at least 280,000 Americans and infected at

least 400,000 throughout the country in a single day, in addition to the 200,000

dead and 800,000 sickened animals. These numbers will increase as the disease

spreads. Many of our own colleagues and staff here in Congress fell ill and died.

Coordinated attacks in allied nations in the days that followed killed tens of

thousands more.

We are now hearing that the terrorists conducted smaller scale attacks in American

cities and localities prior to the July 4 incidents to test our defenses and gauge our

responses. These smaller-scale attacks went largely unnoticed.

Laboratory tests confirm that Nipah virus caused the disease, but we still do not know

what methods our adversaries used to infect humans and spread the disease among

livestock in rural communities.

Question. Trump announced the dramatic reduction in prescription cost. Would that automatically reduce healthcare cost since insurance picks up the bill for a lot of the prescriptions?

Pets too? A lot of veterinary medicine crosses over from humans.

As if. You're hilarious, though.
