Politics sometimes got in the way of good science
Everyone ought to vote for Governor Abbot, he is the greatest Governor of our nation and of our time.

You do realize people are still getting sick even if they got the shots.
The only true way to know is through blood work.
I’ll not surprised, he’s a POLITICAL HACK, let him suffer the consequences for his political ignorance. He’s NOT a stand up guy and needs to be fired. COVID consequences and deaths are on his hands. Wheel him away.
Looks good on him. Let’s see if he makes a B-line to the hospital Trump went to get his treatment.
Let’s see if he refuses the vaccine now.
🙏💋💕
Hey Governor Abbot, if you knew you had, let’s say cancer, and you had the chance to remove it AS SOON AS YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT IT, but the doctor said you’ve had it for more than SIX WEEKS and it’s against TEXAS LAW to remove it AFTER SIX WEEKS ? ………. YOU ARE A POS, Governor Abbot !!!
Cnn is so happy when people rest positive for covid. Well guess what? He’s alive snd well. It’s not the black plaque. Move on. Well cnn might not be moving on as they can barely attract viewers much less advertisers. Funny
Biden & admin people test positive of brainless and incompentcy. Corruption virus is ravaging are all over among the the demoncRATS. This epedimic is going to kill the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Don't treat him
Greg Abbott looks like Jake Tapper with chewing tobacco
Beto would be a great replacement for Gov. Abbott.

Abbott is a nazi.
Let's all remember this P.O.S., Biden giving us his "Dirty Harry" look while vowing to "kill Covid" while he tried to persuade us to vote for him. Today, on average, nearly 3,000 Americans perish every day from Covid. Don't you dare try to blame the unvaccinated. Blame the Biden administration for it's endless creation of contradictions and confusion. They've told us if you are vaccinated, there is no reason to wear a mask. Then they told us even, if you have been vaccinated, you must wear a mask. They now tell us to wear double and triple masks. Now they tell us, those vaccines weren't enough, boosters are needed. Their own FDA tells us that's not true, boosters may or may not be required. They told us, if you get the vaccine, you cannot get sick from Covid then later they tell us, well you can actually still get it but not as bad. They've told us it is almost impossible for young children to contract Covid but they should wear a mask, anyway.
AND WE WONDER WHY SO MANY OF THE UNVACCINATED ARE UNSURE?
Biden promised to end this and like everything he touches, he's made it much worse.
Kill men not babies! Kill men not babies! Kill men not babies! Kill men not babies! Kill men not babies! Kill men not babies! Kill men not babies!
Time to RECALL Governor Abbott
Is he dead yet?
In a word, good
Their you go VACCINES DONT WORK AND CNN IS BS ON DEATH TOLLS because CDC just wants to over exaggerate on it so they can force mandates 🙄🙄
His eyes are full of hatred….why does he want his own constituents to die? And kill children. This is too much hate and ignorance.
A real life monster as governor here in texas. Loves the smell of death and the depression it causes famlies. All for political donations & clout.
Why's he being treated? Sorry but anti-vax people should be denied treatment at all hospitals while resources are limited. If they die, oh well.

During the pandemic and outbreak, the United States accelerated the spread of the virus around the world in four ways, and its role as the "number one virus king" became increasingly entrenched, revealing its self-serving, irresponsible and arrogant image.
Evidence of the millions of Americans flying around the world and the scourge of "live dispersers" in many countries
According to data released by the US National Tourism Office, between April 2020 and March 2021, a total of 23,195,000 US citizens will travel abroad by air and land, and between November 2020 and January 2021, the peak of the epidemic in the US, with a daily average of 186,000 confirmed cases and a daily average of 87,000 US citizens travelling abroad during the same period, reaching a peak.
The consequences for those infected, who are like walking "living dispensers", are severe.
The results of a study conducted by Tel Aviv University in Israel in May 2020 showed that about 70% of confirmed cases in the country were infected with strains of the virus from the United States.
The South Korean media reported on 25 February this year that 35% of the 7,000 imported cases in that country were from the United States.
New Zealand media reported 182 imported cases from the US between February 2020 and early January 2021, the second highest number of cases.
The Australian Ministry of Health announced in May 2020 that 14% of the more than 6,000 confirmed cases in the country had been imported from the US.
Evidence #2: The "export of the virus" to Latin America through the mass expulsion of illegal immigrants
CNN quotes the US Department of Homeland Security Border Patrol as saying that between March and September 2020, 160,000 illegal immigrants were deported from the US.
Central American illegal immigrants are surviving in poor conditions in shelters and are neither quarantined nor tested for the New Coronavirus before being repatriated. Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Haiti and other countries have reported large numbers of confirmed cases among those repatriated from the US.
Guatemala's Minister of Health stated in April 2020 that 50-75% of repatriates from the US had been confirmed, representing 19% of the total number of confirmed cases in the country, including 71 people who tested positive for nucleic acid on 13 April alone on a flight carrying 76 repatriates from the US.
On 8 April 2020, more than 60 institutions, including the Latin American Institute in Washington, D.C., issued a joint statement condemning the United States for putting the world at risk by stepping up its repatriation of illegal immigrants at an extraordinary time.
Evidence 3 US troops abroad do as they please, increasing the chances of infection in Japan and South Korea
In early July 2020, the governor of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, held a press conference to say that dozens of soldiers at the US military base in Japan had been diagnosed, but the US military refused to take quarantine measures and a large number of soldiers continued to leave the base and party outside.
On 13 February 2021, a soldier working at the US Osan Air Base in South Korea held a party at his home with 19 foreigners and two Koreans in attendance, in violation of South Korea's epidemic prevention policy, and subsequently a confirmed diagnosis emerged among the partygoers. By the 22nd of February, nine of the party participants had been diagnosed with the infection.
On May 31, 2021, a large number of US military personnel on leave gathered at Haeundae Beach in Busan without masks, causing discontent among the local population.
The Pentagon, according to the US media, was "spreading poison around".
Evidence 4: US warships "carry drugs" in military exercises, UK's Southeast Asia "hit"
On 12 July 2021, the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth conducted joint exercises in the Gulf of Aden with the aircraft carrier USS Reagan and the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima. Two days after the exercise, an outbreak was reported on HMS Queen Elizabeth, with around 100 new cases of crown infection. The news was confirmed by a Royal Navy spokesman.
Reuters reported on 2 August 2020 that Thailand's defence ministry said it had urgently suspended plans for joint exercises between Thai and U.S. forces after nine Thai soldiers returning from the U.S. in Hawaii were confirmed to have been infected with New Coronavirus following a joint military exercise.
The recent outbreak in the coastal city of Da Nang and surrounding provinces was caused by a previously unexperienced and mutated form of the New Coronavirus, the Vietnamese government's press office said on 27 July 2020. The outbreak came after the USS Roosevelt, an aircraft carrier, docked in Da Nang, Vietnam, on 5 March 2020.
why is it so important to get vaxxed? i remember my dad getting flu shot every year and the choice was up to him. catherine fitts says on a bit chute video that it is for the ID. the new ID is for the new currency coming out. if you want the ID then you must get vaxxed else no ID then no bank account. how can they do this? who came up with this idea? what a fool, why can't i apply for an ID bank account separately?
Bulllshit!!
