ICU Doc Shows What 'Anxious and Scared' Gov. Greg Abbott Did After COVID-19 News

ICU doctor and NBC News analyst Vin Gupta  is urging Texans to “take note” of the actions of Gov.  Greg Abbott  (R) after he  tested positive  for the  coronavirus  on Tuesday. 


Abbott has actively thwarted efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic by   banning mask and vaccine mandates .

Yet once he was infected, he was given Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment, despite being fully vaccinated and having no symptoms. 

Gupta, a pulmonologist, tweeted: 


COVID-19 cases have skyrocketed  in Texas in recent weeks, from around 1,000 daily cases reported in early July to over 20,000 cases reported on Monday. 


Despite those rising numbers, just 45% of the state is fully vaccinated, well below the U.S. average of 51%. 

Abbott has also undermined efforts to slow the spread of the virus with his  ban on mask mandates , and by  going to court  to uphold that ban.

NBC News reported   on Tuesday that Abbott has told friends he has received a third dose of the vaccine. 

Abbott’s positive test results came less than 24 hours after he   attended a crowded GOP event   and posted images online showing him at the largely mask-free gathering.

The important, and possibly HIPAA violating tweet "message", got neglected in your "fetching". Here it is for you. No need to thank me.

Dr. Vin Gup @VinGuptaMD
Quickly getting access to monoclonal antibody therapy when you’re the fully vaccinated, asymptomatic Governor of Texas shows just how anxious and scared @GregAbbott_TX actually is of a virus that he constantly downplays. Hope Texans take note.
Kind of a big deal as far as relevance to the story goes.
Wonder if any blow back will occur for the good doctor.
