In video posted on Twitter, the Republican governor, whose office announced four days ago that he had tested positive with the virus, credited the vaccination for his short illness and urged Texans to get vaccinated. Abbott's office on Tuesday said he had the virus but was not experiencing symptoms. He received a monoclonal antibody treatment, it said. It did not give any indication as to when the governor contracted the virus.

Too bad.

How great how he received treatments that those whom have succumbed to this plague never were offered! They might have survived also.

Sorry to hear that

Fact check: Texas lieutenant governor falsely implies Black people to blame for Covid surgeFacts First: An analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that White adults account for the largest share of unvaccinated adults. So Kaiser's analysis differs from your own. How do you account for the discrepancies? Well no shit.... Just like cops kill more whites than blacks too.... Population! Blacks have the biggest percentage of unvaccinated per ratio to population By that you mean republicans rednecks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Covid-19: Four more Covid-related deaths and 1,612 new casesThe total number of deaths linked to Covid-19 in NI since the start of the pandemic is now 2,291. More deaths? I'm starting to doubt that this is a conspiracy after all. This Tweet update appears to be released each Saturday and you have previously received replies stating that there is a need to clarify that figures relate to Northern Ireland. Why has this still not been rectified? Can feedback be provided elsewhere?

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick blames Black community, Democrats for COVID spreadIn an interview with host Laura Ingraham of Fox News show 'The Ingraham Angle,' Patrick placed blame on the Democrats and African American community as to why the numbers are so high in the Lone Star state. Oh, no, now Laura may lose her last 3 Black viewers! According to the CDC, 28.4% of blacks have taken the vaccine. I knew it was just a matter of time. So we're through blaming the Chinese? Now, it gets back to where it always goes. Watch out Black folks. A stage is being set.

COVID-19 live updates: Texas Lt. Gov. claims unvaccinated Black people driving spike in casesUniversity of Virginia cuts 238 students from its rolls after they failed to comply with the university's vaccination policy, school officials confirm to ABC News. You can be for something but against it being mandatory. You can be against something but opposed to it being banned. Smart people understand this. Even though we now know that the vaccine doesn't stop transmission? The only pro is the 'claim' that it reduces YOUR chance of hospitalization. Guess we will find out as clinical trials continue... So what grounds are they stating justifies their policy? I’m for vaccination but this is absurd. You can not force someone to do this especially if they are 3 years invested in their education. Mandate them to wear an n95 on campus or something.
