Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has tested positive for COVID-19 despite having been vaccinated, his office said Tuesday.

“The governor has been testing daily, and today was the first positive test result,” Abbott’s Communications Director Mark Miner said. “The governor will isolate in the Governor's Mansion and continue to test daily.”

Miner also said that Abbott is receiving Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment, the same therapy that former President Donald Trump received when he was hospitalized with COVID-19 last fall.

Masks don’t work.

Experimental mNRA shots don’t work.

Pandemic of the ‘VAX’d.

Strange, the local leftist outlets here in New England streams he left out the fact that he was vaccinated. They all made it seem like one of those idiots Republicans who doesn’t trust the vaccine type articles.

About 30% of the people in our friend group who got the death virus in the past three weeks also had the jab.

A positive test means little. The rate of false positives is about 90%.

Take a page from voting...

Abbott should go for best two out of three tests. If two are positive, go for best of five, etc.

“...has tested positive for COVID-19...”

Is he sick? Does he need to medical treatment or hospitalization? What exactly does a positive test mean to the person?

It would cruel to suggest that Gov. Abbott go quarantine with the fleebagging democrats.

Hope and pray that he gets over the exposure with no adverse health effect.

Am I the only one that notices they never tell how many vaccinated people wearing masks test positive?

If masks are the answer why get the vaccine?

So far, this sample of one says J&J vax works.

Unless I had it already.

Who knows?

Pretty much nobody.

And that’s a problem.

Can you recall any other vaccine that fails so miserably at both providing immunity and eliminates the transmission of the disease?

If they tested his steak, that would be positive too. The test is useless
