Thanks 2 Abbott.

I wonder what percentage are/were Republicans? What..? I'm just asking!

We are all aware that the China ran media is trying to discredit or bring down Texas and Florida so u don't have to keep telling us how many people is dying from covid because most likely those people are the ones who were vaccinated the elite & Fauci calls it population control

This shows what a terrible job Bedridden has done and he has the vaccines thanks to President Trump.

Such a lie

Conservatives used to argue govt should be limited to that strictly construed in the C. At least there was an argument there. Abbott is using big govt to lengthen pain. If any other entity did this it would land them in jail and would face civil penalties for gross negligence.

No, ignorance, misogyny and hate are the biggest Texas tragedies

More fear mongering

California is beating Texas with 70,778 and that is a damn shame.

There were 53,100 combat deaths during Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars. That means The Governor of Texas and the Texas Republican legislature are mostly responsible for more deaths than the last three major wars we have fought overseas. That is just Texas alone.

Hmm ! And who is responsible for the bulk of these deaths ? HOW ABOUT THE DICTATOR WANNABE ABBOTT!!!

GovAbbott is a serial killer.

A doctor who ain’t there mentally

No Governor Abbott was the greatest tragedy!

I think the greatest tragedy in Texas began when Abbott was elected Governor.

Covid, no doubt is bad but more died from heart disease & pneumonia. Do something about that because almost 900,000 Americans died of CVD last year

But Texas is about freedom. No Texas is about death, the suppression of women and the suppression of vote. Texas is not about freedom it is about death and suppression.

Come on Dems. Rebrand this. Rep Governors killing off their own voters. Death toll Desantis vs death toll Abbott. Push THIS button.

If we get another wave it most likely would be a different variant and the vaccine won’t help.

Question is how many of those Covid related deaths were illegal aliens who came across the border? Many are sick when they got here.

Lolol

Thanks to your Govetnor who thinks knows what's best for everyone without and data to prove it. Very sad situation I hope the next election will show him how wrong he was., before more people die under his stupidity

CLOSE OUR BORDERS!!!! BUILD THE WALL!!

Remember the Abbot low

tjcashlee Texas is about 9% of the U.S. Population. Texas COVID deaths are about 10% of the U.S. deaths. Not a good statistic for Greg 'Richard' Abbott.

Abbot and DeSantis 👍👍 The Governors of America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Way to go 👍👍 Trump’s Disciples !!!

Gov. Abbott is the greatest tragedy to have befallen the state of Texass.

Don’t tell world renowned business and health expert CancunCruz he thinks it drives business away.

What's in the Build Back Better Act? 1. Free 2 yrs of college 2.Child care and pre-K 3.Medicare for Dental and Vision 4.Keep child tax credit 5.Cut prescription drug cost 6.Paid Medical leave 7.Climate change 8.Fully paid for by 2% higher taxes on incomes over 400K and Corp Taxes

No sympathy for texas....and winters coming- your grid is still crap. No worries, ted has his cancun ticket booked early this year I'm sure.

I suppose all trump supporters..

A replacement Governor (Beto) would help remedy the situation!

Well deserved

That wheelchair should be sitting in a recycle bin right now.

The only problem it's missing its targets.. Every Republicans Candidates, and Lawmakers,

Texas has a dictator

Wasn’t he the veterinarian that played in cannonball run?

So Texas has 10% of US covid deaths.

Tesla employees right now :

That's it!!! 35,000/year average. Less than adverse drug and surgery effects. Seems like should start focusjng in what's important if truly care about people.

caddyman98 Well that sounds like a prescription for vaccine mandates and covid mitigation steps .

Smdh!!! WHY!!!🥺 sickofgopsickos🤬

Could, but probably won't.

San Francisco closing Walgreens stores in Black Areas due to theft - less COVID Vaccine sites

No I think voting all Republican is the worst

I’m OK with fewer GQP voters. Counties that strongly supported Donald Trump have far lower vaccination rates than counties that strongly supported Biden. And since June 30 the Trumpiest tenth of the country has had 5.5 times the Covid death rate of the least Trumpy tenth.

Dr. Hotez is captured.

Serve’s them right listening to that asshole of a governor

I love this man and his willingness to fade the heat and keep telling the truth he and Fauci need statues pout up in their honor for fighting the good fight in the face of ridiculous hate and attacks.

No, the single biggest tragedy is how they vote and who they vote for

PeterHotez And likely the numbers will continue to rise. Wake up, folks!!

Texans in democratic areas of California we are 80% vaccinated and life is back to normal.

🥇 Follow CDCgov NIH US_FDA and HHSGov Guidelines to Protect: ❤️ Yourself ❤️ Your Family ❤️ Children ❤️ Other People ☑️ Get Fully Vaccinated Against COVID19 ☑️ Get Vaccinated Against Influenza / Flu ✅ Wear a Mask 😷 Indoors ✅ Wash Your Hands ✅ Avoid Large Gatherings

The F.U. variant.

70,000 regressive moron deaths sounds like a huge win for the intelligent vaccinated crowd. How does a State so loaded with ineptitude recover all those lost regressive ballots?

Or perhaps it could be the porous southern border, allowing tens of thousands of COVID cases into the country, unchecked? Maybe that is a slightly greater tragedy?

Texas Gov. Abbott bans Covid vaccination mandates in rebuke of BidenTexas Gov. Abbott issues an executive order prohibiting any entity, including private businesses, from imposing Covid vaccination requirements. The vaccine mandate is through OSHA which is the federal government. State laws cannot supersede federal law. Let alone do so by a mere governor's executive order. Seams to me he has a God complex. Just like Trump claiming power he doesn't have. That would include Southwest & American airlines. Hopefully, that improves the weather issues for Southwest. Protecting individual liberty, which of course the left hates. They like a strong authoritarian regime dictating how individuals should live their life
