Five years after Texas’ first COVID death, the state spends less on public health, vaccination rates have dropped and a distrust of authority has taken hold.

Texas is always the victim of their own lack of action and foresight. Why should the Federal government, and by extension, more reasonably minded states, be burdened with perennially saving Texas from itself?
Texas has been GOP governed for nearly 30 years; this is what they want, let them have it.
It’s funny how every election they say they’re gonna make Texas great again when they’ve been in charge for the past few decades.
Some of us have been voting against it as long as we’ve been able to vote.
Kind of the conservative way…
Chemical plant explodes: Cut more regulations on safety
Abnormally dry and dangerous: Cut fire department
Repeat teen pregnancies: Less sex education.
Disease kills millions: Less doctors, less vaccines.
Sometimes I feel texas thinks there in a scenerio like the episode of parks and rec, when out of desperation to get out of an emergency scenerio drill, they opted to just fail it on purpose as fast as they could. Bird flu is killing millions. OK our priority is save the birds, instruct everyone to perform CPR on any fallen birds.
Humans are the only species to have been known to regret existing as a whole.
Other species dont know regret, so…
Next pandemic?
So you guys fix measles yet?
Yup, measles is doing much better now. Got any other nearly-eradicated diseases you need revived?
TB is gonna make a big comeback now that USAID isn’t able to fight it.
Ooh, make polio great again!
Plague is a classic. Oldies but goodies.
New Mexico gets a handful of cases of it each year.
No. Nor bird flu.
sucks to be texas 🤷
Sure does! Hey, I’m thinking grilled cheese for lunch, what are you having?
