Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, despite being fully vaccinated, announced on Tuesday that he has Covid-19

Even as that news was rippling through the state, the legal fight between Abbott and local officials over the state’s ban on mask mandates raged on.

Yes, you read that right. Even as Abbott was testing positive for Covid-19, his administration continued to work to keep local jurisdictions from requiring people to wear masks.

And all of that was happening as Texas continued to be one of the hotspots in the 4th spike of the coronavirus. The state reported more than 25,000 new cases on Tuesday and is now averaging more than 15,000 cases a day, according to data from The New York Times. Cases are up 44% in the state over the past two weeks. Hospitalizations are up 65%.

There’s a lesson in all of this for Abbott — although he’s unlikely to see it due to his own political considerations.

He got it because the virus keeps changing itself. They made the vaccine last year sometime but covid grew into other strains since then like the flu does. The good thing is if you are vaccinated you will not get as sick or die like you would if you are not vaccinated. But if we want to beat this thing we are probably going to have to keep getting a booster until all these unvaccinated people get the shot or die off and stop spreading it.

Desantis and Abbott have been playing with peoples lives and now it has come back around. Karma always catches up.

IF this information is true then it only confirms my distrust of the efficacy claims that have been made about these vaccines – as well as reaffirms my decision to NOT consider getting the so-called “booster” shot anytime soon if ever.
