a packed room last night not wearing a mask. CNN

"SNIP.....

Abbott, a Republican, is fully vaccinated against the virus, his office said in a statement, adding that he is tested daily and this is his first positive result.

He is currently isolated in the Governor's mansion and is receiving Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatment, the statement said.

.....SNIP"

And it's Texas, so everybody's vaccinated.

LOL.

22. A petri dish for Toxic magats.... poor

Rt TY

23. You can smoke indoors in Texas?

That's a frickin smoke-filled room if I ever saw one.

[UTUSN]

3. Well bless his heart!1

[JoanofArgh]

4. He's apparently getting Regeneron. If he has no symptoms, why waste this expensive treatment?

[XanaDUer2]

9. because he's a vip

leave it for a sicker person. I'm so sick of these Republicans getting special medical treatment

[TexasTowelie]

10. It supposedly is more effective if given earlier in the treatment process.

I doubt that many other state employees would receive such an expensive treatment.

[Phoenix61]

15. This. If you need O2 it could actually make it worse. nt

[Crunchy Frog]

18. He's being a selfish pig. Pretty much de rigueur for a modern Republican.

6. Tots and pears

7. BOO F'ING HOO!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. Hey Abbott

Looks like your karma ran over your dogma.

[pwb]

11. All the special people get the cocktail he knew that all along.

But we won't. He knew that too.

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

13. He got his 2nd Pfizer dose in Jan, so it only lasted 7 months... time for a booster!

[badhair77]

14. How convenient he has such easy access to the antibody treatment.

I’m sure the rest of us would be treated the same.

[ecstatic]

16. It's interesting that he went straight to the monoclonal antibody treatment

even though he's fully vaxxed and not experiencing symptoms. Is Assbot scared or something? Why would Mr. Mask Off be frightened of covid?

17. 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 ...

20. Abbott to Texas - REGENERON for Me! Mortuary trailers for you serfs!

You kids get them stupid masks off yer face an' git outta here!


NOW. Somebody pass me the caviar and endangered game steaks. LET'S PARTY!

[Snarkoleptic]

19. Why does so much of what we see from CONservatives

revolve around Regeneron's monoclonal antibody treatment?

The whole thing reeks of grift.

[Maru Kitteh]

21. Curious what you mean by "whole thing?"

I know what I figure the grift is, curious to hear what others think.

[Snarkoleptic]

26. It seems odd that GOPers are anti-mask, anti-vax, but seemingly

lining up to promote this, from what I understand, non-FDA approved treatment.
Are they horrible enough to be parasitically cashing-in in on a pandemic? Frankly, nothing would surprise me.
Dunno, but someone got the memo that all fans of TFG should promote it.

[Maru Kitteh]

27. Agreed. I think it's the donor and his cash at least as much as the TFG factor.

And yeah, I think they've proven they are indeed that horrible.

25. 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

"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.
