1465: Gov Abott is showing no symptoms; that's because he had the shot - Unlike you. He is also staying at home and getting daily shots of Regeneron which costs Texas Taxpayers $1500 a day - which is more than the ICU costs. He's a perfect example of how Republican politicians cheat the system; and BTW - Its not the Democrats who are trying to tell people not to get vaxed!!!

BTW if he had worn an N95 mask it would have cost 1 dollar and been 95 percent effective.

Hulky: So which is it? Is BAD Abbott spending two weeks in the ICU at taxpayer expense, or "staying at home and getting daily shots of Regeneron" at taxpayer expense. I know all leftists are highly trained in 'cognitive dissonance' at the Soros Traveling Academy of Commie Doublethink, but for those of us deprived of this socialist skillset, do clarify! As for "Its not the Democrats who are trying to tell people not to get vaxed!!!", I recall a time in the Trump Era where Demoncrats were against vaccines, against masks, against travel restrictions and most of the other crap they are now soooo gung ho for. No doubt you also mastered the socialist skill of 'selective amnesia' while at the Soros Traveling Academy of Commie Doublethink!

Franco: RE "I recall a time in the Trump Era where Demoncrats were against vaccines," WRONG Democrats never told people not to get vaxed. Prove me wrong. Post a link...lol

Easygong: In the beginning yes, the sickest people died. That's normal. After a couple of months things changed. Honestly, you anti-vaxers want to die. I hope you are prepared for the drubbing you are going to get at the polls when you have to face the people.

Easygoing: 98 percent did survive covid, then! But today there is the Delta Variant which is 4x more deadly. What happens when all the hospital beds are taken because people like you get sick? Who is going to take care of you? BTW I have to thank you guys (sarcasm). My county in the PNW has gone back to the mask mandate because our emergency rooms are full of Covid patients from OUT-OF-STATE!

Franco: "Plandemic?" please explain....

Covid 19 was released on the world by the Chinese government because Trump tried to even out the trade deficit the Chinese had been enjoying since they lost WWII! And they've never been held accountable for it!

Linda, I've never hear of that before. Can you post a link for that?

O my perpetually curious and staunchly open-minded Hulky! Why yes, I would be ever so glad to inform you of this really very difficult to research topic. Plandemic: The coinage 'plandemic', a blend of plan and pandemic, took off with the emergence of an expose video of the same name (desperately censored by anyone with the power to censor it), that detailed how COVID-19 is a planned and pre-arranged pandemic (hence plandemic) originally intended to depose Trump, but long since repurposed for pharmaceutical companies to make record profit, the Richie Rich boys like Billie Gates to get lots richer, globalists like Soros and Rothschilds to seize power, and for the Red Commies to export their commie utopias worldwide....a plan offering a lil something to most of the usual villains. In short, a wonderful worldwide conspiracy, not unlike that of Santa Claus, but more of the nature of Krampus for gullible adults. What? Oh, you was expecting me to waste hours assembling a long and detailed list of citations for you to ignore completely, glance at, or at best scan through a few paragraphs, before dismissing each source as not on your approved list of MSM sites? Yeah, no....but I will be a good sport, and throw you a couple to scoff at. Sic 'em! --- https://plandemic.co/ --- https://exposingevil.org/plandemic/ ---- https://propaganda.news/ --- Oh yeah, those who choose to watch the Plandemic videos (very few I suspect) and suspend judgement until the very end (even fewer no doubt), should first watch a video called 'Out Of Shadows', which supplies a great deal of context and background info that clarifies the Plandemic series. ~ https://www.outofshadows.org/

The reason your "reasoning" is getting questioned is because unvaxinated people are getting sick and spreading the virus. Those people are getting sick adn taking up hospital beds. Those beds should be used for people who are legitimately sick.

@ Linda: Re " I'd spend more than two weeks in ICU if it meant getting our personal freedoms back!" ___A) I get it. You hate wearing masks. So your solution is, not to grin and bear it like most people. Your solution is to get sick, stay in the ICU for two weeks, get natural immunity and not have to wear a mask for the rest of our life. I get it. You are selfish and you shouldn't be allowed to endanger others. BTW The percent of death with the Dealta Variant is 8% so your 'solution' is pretty risky.

"The reason your "reasoning" is getting questioned is because" you want to FORCE the unvaccinated to get the jab, as they are supposedly spreading COVID to the vaccinated, who are supposedly now immune (but obviously not), so that we will be supposedly immune (but obviously not), and stop spreading the virus, even though there is plenty of evidence to support the notion that the vaccinated who are obviously not immune are spreading COVID themselves. Your flawed and circular reasoning is obviously whacked, but fortunately the leftist brain can always rely on cognitive dissonance for a quickie bail-out whenever it paints itself into a corner. I get it, your solution is to FORCE everyone to get the jab, accept the possible bad consequences (https://www.openvaers.com/covid-data), thereby denying them the right to opt for natural immunity, because you did, because your sort still believes all the constantly changing crap out of Fauci's obviously lying mouth, and because your kind demands conformity to whatever 'groupthink' in in vogue at any given moment. Sounds like your use of the word 'selfish' is a classic example of the pot calling the kettle black. As for not wearing the mask "for the rest of our life" I have noticed that bit of malarkey has changed recently...gone from get the jab and be mask-free, to get the jab and still be required to wear it Presumably Forever! But we shall not go there...shall we?

Franco, only 1% of vaxed people become 'breakthroughs' as opposed to 8% who die because of the Delta variant. And yes eventually everyone will get covid. There is no cure. The only question is whether they are going to die.

CC: Just compare the % of covid patients or mask states vs anti-mask states. Texas needs him like it need to be hit by a 4x4. lol
