What people are saying?

Muffy2151 Its not going to fly he doesn’t have the power to tell corporations what they van do. Funny how they want to control women’s bodies but when it comes to a vaccine that stops a pandemic its like “it’s our body you can’t tell us what to do”! Time to vote blue!

Don’t panic Given that Texas has BOTH the Delta (India) and Lambda (Peru) variants, this makes sense (in some sort of alternative reality state). Lets see if they (Texas) can surpass California in both cases and deaths (500K and 2K respectively to go)!
