Like masks, vaccines don’t work.

Notice it’s not “.the governor got sick, didn’t feel well”.

It’s a scheduled regular PCR test that tests only for presence, even in trace amounts, even if neutralized by prior immunity, not the disease.

Like masks, vaccines don’t work. ----- Vaccine a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease.

Unfortunately, the V's don't work on everyone.

Good grief, it’s not the end of the world. Take the McCullough or Zelenko treatment protocol and get on with your life.

“...vaccines don’t work.”

And therefore a 100% vaccination rate won’t provide 100% security nor extinguish the Whoohu Flu.

It’s a fool’s errand at the moment.

Maybe Trump can get a warp speed treatment program going? Oh, yeah, we’d have to go through the CDC/NIH/FDA anchor dragging nightmare.

The China virus does seem to have a preference for Republicans.

Good thing that “vaccine” has a 90% efficacy rate.

A false positive from the test or the actual virus? Either way would be concerning if true.

Just test him tomorrow and it will be negative.

Tests don't work, jabs don't work, masks don't work.

This is all just a bunch of baloney.

Governor Abbott is receiving Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment.

____________________________

That I don’t understand. There are far better more effective monoclonal antibodies around.

Oh wait. Big Pharma has severely limited just who is eligible to get these mabs.

Maybe the Governor is in too good a health?

Here’s hoping he recovers ASAP. The mayors and the judges of Texas all hate his guts for sticking with the no-mask mandates.
