in alarming and distressing news TX Gov. Abbott tested positive soon after a maskless meeting between the two seen embracing each other with smiles for miles. we know Abbott wasn't smiling at all upon the diagnosis and essentially freaked out in fear, leaving the glaring concerns for JLV's health and whether he may have been the spreader or possible contractor, neither are Spring chickens and if Jimmie is infected can he get the same extreme life-saving measures afforded politicians and talking heads, even those creating disinformation hysteria? we've needlessly lost too many great lives to this disastrous pandemic and we don't need any more, but clearly the worst is not behind us, hopefully Jimmie has taken every step necessary to protect himself and those he is near but that may be too hopeful after this frightening family picture. https://www.austin360.com/story/ent...id-raises-concerns-jimmie-vaughan/8173018002/

Speaking of "disinformation hysteria," Abbot is vaccinated, and the article notes, "We want to let everyone know, that despite the news today of Governor Abbott's positive Covid diagnosis, Jimmie & family have tested negative and are doing fine. Thanks so very much to all who reached out with concern."

tragically, that he's vax'd yet still gets it will likely further dystopia among deniers and the generally confused.

Why is that?
are you asking why it's tragic or the effects in society? the big picture problems are obvious, #1 the severe lack of concern between all involved, this is why people are still dying en mass. that Abbott is vax'd yet still gets it as this bug goes wild just screams why we can't easily beat this thing. it seems Jimmie made a poor choice to ignore warnings and then involve his family, the point being that close associating right now is really stupid.

Do we know if Vaughan is vaccinated as well?

I don't, but would like to give him the benefit of doubt. but we know vaxs are iffy and not total, caution is still the priority.
It sounds like the vaccines are working, as neither man is reporting serious symptoms.

"So what about this prompted you to join a guitar forum to discuss your opinions on health care?"

Exactly

it is, sometimes, yet tons of vax'd folks are getting infected. they're a long ways from figuring this out.
