When this is over and there’s mass vaccination, I want Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick indicted for thousands of counts of negligent homicide.

“The only strategy we have to prevent that from happening is by everybody wearing a mask.”

“I gotta tell you, I think the numbers are going to look worse as we go into next week,” Abbott said during an interview on local Fox News affiliate FOX 26. “And we need to make sure that there’s going to be plenty of hospital beds available in the Houston area.”
So, is he suggesting medical administrators wave a magic wand?

A friend sent me a YouTube link from a Dr(?) Kelly Victory totally debunking wearing masks. I had a hard time trying to come up with a cordial response that wouldn’t blow a 45 year friendship. It made me see them in a way I hadn’t seen before.

During Trump’s second term he’ll award each the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and one of them will be Pence’s running mate in 2024, with the other becoming Secretary of State.

Not one ounce of shame do these people have…they spent MONTHS pointing the finger at states like Washington and NY about the ‘hoax’ and now that it’s hit THEM they spend all their time predicting ‘it’s gonna get WORSE’ and somehow they always KNEW that could happen so help THEM and send those kiddies to school!

Nope, he wants those that are currently occupying those beds to be discharged and/or to occupy a spot at the morgue. Ready or not here they come.

Yup, this. Buy stock in formaldehyde suppliers and pine box manufacturers.

At least Governor Abbott recognizes some facts, unlike the Don.

I just tell them
It’s unfortunate that you are willing to risk the health of your family and friends over this issue.
If you are wrong you may cause the death of someone close to you
I find it difficult to believe that not wearing a mask is a risk you are willing to take
