Texas GOP Hasn't Just 'Failed to Stop COVID' but is DIRECTLY Responsible for its Spread and its Strength
This is a still growing pandemic of the unvaccinated driven by homicidally negligent GOP 'leadership' likely helping the next, maybe more deadly COVID variant, to evolve.
Doctors Say Texas Leaders Failed To Stop COVID-19 From Spreading
Hospitalization rate for unvaccinated teens 10 times the rate for those vaccinated, CDC says
The Texas GOP; Governor Greg Abbott and his GOP majority Legislature have not only 'failed to stop' the spread of COVID but continue to deliberately enact policies which are exact breeding grounds for the increase in and surge of infection rates, hospitalization and Death in Texas, in the immediate region and across the nation.
The Texas GOP, along with the failed GOP leadership of those regional states with the lowest rates of vaccination, are together directly responsible for the still growing strength of the Delta Variant which is probably already feeding the virus’ next and maybe more deadly variant. And absolutely nothing good will come from Saturday’s packed college football stadiums in Texas and other regional low vaccination states run by homicidally negligent GOP Governors and State Legislators.
Texas leaders didn't just 'fail to stop' COVID but are collectively DIRECTLY responsible and accountable for the massive numbers of COVID cases and hospitalizations to increasingly include young adults and children. Hospitals and, particularly, ICUs and PICU's in Texas and surrounding low vaccination states are literally overflowing sometimes to the point of having to transport the most seriously ill out of state.
Parent participants in the GOP COVID Death Cult are now physically attacking teachers and principals only because those educators are working in the best interest of all their students; of every child in the school, as well as the children of those disturbed parents, and doing so under horrifically difficult conditions. They’ve ripped masks off of teachers and, even, young students. And the school administrators continue their efforts even as their teachers are dying and students hospitalized.
School administrators, faculty and staff are doing their best to navigate incompetent GOP political leadership while trying to follow the CDC and science to best protect children and themselves. At the same time, those in the GOP Death Cult follow homicidally negligent and incompetent GOP politicians who are in it for fundraising and perceived power. Most of these GOP leaders have, themselves, been vaccinated.
This past week, a father became unhappy when told his son needed to do a week of required quarantine after being in contact with a known COVID positive individual in the school. The father went to the school that afternoon with two other men carrying zip ties telling the principal she had acted ‘illegally’ and they were going to make a ‘citizen’s arrest.’ When they refused to leave her office, she called police who quickly intervened. Thankfully. Not only are Death Cult followers stupid, but they are also cowards
Parents and allies who have dared to assault principals, teachers, local elected Democrats and School Board members - even other children wearing masks - MUST be proscecuted to the FULLEST extent of the law. Yet the national GOP 'leadership' have not only made no effort to pull back their violent COVID 'foot soldiers' and get them away from public schools but, instead, continue to further incite and support such actions.
GOP in Texas, in Tennessee, in Mississippi, in Louisiana and the homicidal maniac who currently still governor of Florida MUST be held to full account. That national and local GOP political leadership didn't just 'fail to stop' COVID but are DIRECTLY responsible for its spread and the strength of the Delta Variant — with the next GOP nurtured and maybe more deadly mutation already evolving — is what Doctors should also be clearly identifying
There is no excuse. There is no justification.
