2. Can't post my thoughts

but hey - get thee to the greatest page

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

5. I have a half-eaten pear and two stale tater tots to offer him.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. My thought is poetic justice.

[malaise]

9. But what kind of justice

[XanaDUer2]

3. Ummmmmm nt

4. Lordy, someone pull the keyboard from my fingers before...

Oh, hell. Let my thoughts enter the realm unspoken...

7. he is vaccinated though

Gov. Greg Abbott received the COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday in Austin, saying he wanted to show Texans how "safe and easy" it is.

"I will never ask any Texan to do something that I’m not willing to do myself," Abbott said moments before getting vaccinated at a televised event at Ascension Seton Medical Center.

11. Good for him

Notably right on cue: almost eight months to the day since his vaccination.

I think eight months is going to be a magic number on that booster.

[Ms. Toad]

33. The 8 months is just coincidence.

I was vaccinated 5 months ago, and a friend who was vaccinated after I was was diagnosed with COVID on Sunday.

8. If he's been vaccinated, he probably won't get too sick

And I probably won't experience the full pleasures of schadenfreude

[Kid Berwyn]

12. Monoclonal antibodies for everyone!

At least for those who can afford such scientific treatments.

[Glorfindel]

13. Well, we all shine on...

[lindysalsagal]

14. I regret that I have but 1 rec to give this post.

Bastid deserves what's coming to him.

[BigmanPigman]

15. Best news I have heard all day...

now if only Deathsantis would get it too.

[lame54]

16. Fully vaccinated AND tests daily...

Hypocritical creep

[greenjar_01]

17. Was at a packed, mostly unmasked Colln County Republican event last night

Ooopsies.

18. How else is the virus going to thrive if unmasked & mostly unvaccinated people don't mingle indoors?

[tanyev]

22. No mask in sight.

Wonder how many unvaxxed in there?

[liberal_mama]

19. Can all Texans get tested daily and receive an immediate Regeneron antibody infusion?

What about the 11,000 Texans who have tested positive so far today? Are they all getting their antibody treatments so they don't die?

[underpants]

20. D'oh!

[GoCubsGo]

21. I'm surprised it took this long.

How many of his constituents are getting the same treatment? Not many, I'm betting.

[LiberalFighter]

23. If he is fully vaccinated... why did he test daily?

[LisaL]

24. Because vaccines are not 100% effective.

But daily seems kind of excessive.

[LisaL]

25. How did DeSantis not get it yet?

[FelineOverlord]

26. Not much sympathy on Twitter

[JanMichael]

27. Why would they give him monoclonal drugs this fast? Does he have bad symptoms?

Is he ready to go to the hospital?

Does everyone get the monoclonal therapy as soon as they test positive?

I hope he chokes on a rabbit.

[bluedevil4]

31. He's not

showing any signs of Covid. Maybe they will come later

[Raftergirl]

34. Probably because of his paralysis.

People with spinal cord injuries are very susceptible to respiratory illnesses.

28. My mom always said if you can't say something nice..

then don’t say anything at all…But boy is it tempting…🤐

29. Texas requests mortuary trailers

USA TODAY

... Texas has requested five mortuary trailers from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Texas trails only Florida among states with the most COVID deaths a day, both averaging more than 160. No other state is above 50 ...

30. The Karma must flow!

if we get really lucky, he'll be eaten by a sandworm

[bluestarone]

32. Oh no

The BIG HOAX got him!

35. Greg is being given special treatment including third vaccine and unwarranted monoclonal antibodies

Greg should not have received a third does of a vaccine nor should he have been given monoclonal antibodies if he is not showing symptoms. Greg is special

Link to tweet

"Governor Abbott is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, in good health, and currently experiencing no symptoms," Mark Miner, the governor's communications director, said in a statement. "Everyone that the Governor has been in close contact with today has been notified. Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott tested negative."....

Abbott has told people he received a third booster dose of a vaccine, two sources said. Abbott's office did not respond to a request for comment about a booster shot. Except for people with compromised immune systems, booster shots have not been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration, although the Biden administration is expected to announce a program to administer them soon.

In addition, it was not proper for Greg to get monoclonal antibodies when he had no symptoms.

36. Because Abbott knows he's a con man and now he's scared shitless.

Pump him up with everything available, because he has to continue the grift. Hopefully the good folks of Texas wake up and see Abbott for what he is; a Charlatan, racketeer and cold blooded murderer.
