Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tests positive for Covid after banning mask, vaccination mandates

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

1. Well, isn't HE special.

[DinahMoeHum]

2. IOW, "I've got mine, screw you"

Vile bastard.

[CanonRay]

3. I can't get mine yet. We have a classiest health care system

[LuckyCharms]

4. Does that mean we can all get our third dose now?

[DURHAM D]

7. Only if you are a Republican nt

[roamer65]

5. What a fucking hypocrite.

[Diamond_Dog]

6. Yet he insists on banning mask mandates.

Reprehensible slime.

8. Hey, Nina! Now *this* is the guy who's a the BOWL OF SHIT!!

11. Thanks for the reminder. I'm so glad that woman lost.

[tanyev]

9. Some people have access to more "personal responsibility" than others.

[C_U_L8R]

10. That is abuse of power right there

He needs to admit he deserves what got. And if he had any decency at all, he would resign. What a total jackass.

[SoCalDavidS]

12. Meaning The Booster Shot Doesn't Help Prevent You From Catching It nt

[LisaL]

14. There is likely so much virus floating around down there, vaccines don't stand a chance.

NT

[SoCalDavidS]

16. Very True nt

[flying_wahini]

17. It never did. Just prevents serious effects of Covid.

[Mariana]

19. It could mean any number of things.

One strong possibility is that Abbot lied.

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. I'm going with, he lied.

[Mariana]

28. I mean, it's not like it would be the first time ... nt.

[Hekate]

26. Meaning he shouldn't have crowded into a room with a couple hundred people with NO masks...

Hm?

[HUAJIAO]

13. Democrats need to grab on to this and run with it. That's what the pukes would do...

Blast it everywhere possible.......



Eh, like THAT'S going to happen....

[BeckyDem]

15. Will his poll numbers go up? I can't tell any longer.

They're past crazy in my book.

[liberal_mama]

18. Sounds like Abbott is a Nervous Nellie with his own health, but doesn't care about the people he's

supposed to protect! So he's vaccinated x 3, gets a Covid test every day, and received an immediate Regeneron antibody cocktail!

[LisaL]

21. Sure does.

If only there was something else he could have done to prevent infection, like wearing a mask in room full of people.
Oh wait...

[liberal_mama]

22. His behavior is completely shameless. Wearing a mask would have been a lot easier.

Thousands of people are literally laughing at him on Twitter right now. You'd think he would have been too embarrassed to admit he had Covid!

[retread]

33. "...he would have been too embarrassed..." He's a repug! They don't do embarrassed! n/t

[struggle4progress]

20. Why hasn't Dan Patrick encouraged him to die for the economy yet?

[TexasCowgirl]

34. That's just sick

Differences in politics is one thing. Wishing someone dead cause they don't agree with you???? That's sick.

Keep Dem's above that.

[Yonnie3]

35. Yes,

Dan Patrick is sick. He is also not a Democrat.

[marble falls]

36. Absolutely! We ain't them. Welcome!

[luv2fly]

23. Lots of people have been lying to get their third dose

He just probably didn't have to lie.

Just another one of those "me first, screw you" people, and that attitude knows no political boundaries.

[Hortensis]

24. Just because we should know, a third shot of the previous vaccines

is being given to people who likely had inadequate reaction to the first two doses or dose. It's available right now, "free" at pharmacies, etc.

Booster vaccines are not yet FDA approved, but expected to be, for all people who were vaccinated with good responses that're wearing off and will need to be boosted before long. Pfizer's booster vaccine, and no doubt others, will also be tweaked to be more effective against Delta.

Unless this depraved schmuck got one of the booster vaccines in development, he got a third shot of an old one.

[leftstreet]

29. Yikes, what does that mean?

"inadequate reaction"

You mean, didn't get sick and/or have any reaction aside from a sore arm?

[Hortensis]

31. Good question and shrug? But I am immunocompromised and had no

discernable reaction to either shot. Most people are able to describe some subjective reaction, but whether lack of any is something to be concerned about I can't say. Many have Covid itself and never know.

My immunologist had already warned me that efficacy could be significantly lower than normal, though, because of the immunosuppressive medications I'm on. However, I've never been tested to find out.

I'll go get a third shot, could have today and forgot, and eventually I'll of course get a booster as well.

[Thrill]

25. He's ugly inside and out

30. 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.
