In reply to the discussion: GOP Texas governor asks for federal assistance to help with COVID-19 testing, treatment [View all]Ford_Prefect
(8,625 posts)16. Abbott wants to be able to blame someone else. He knows that testing without an
aggressive vaccination program is virtually worthless. He'd much rather see 1,000,000 dead Texans who he can blame on someone else than risk leading them to healthy outcomes by contradicting TLG and Q mythology.
(I know TLG has made weak-ass remarks supporting vaccination. He's not nearly as out loud about it as he is about the big lie so few take him seriously on that point, to say nothing about the True-Q believers.)
