Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Tuesday insisted he will not implement another statewide mask mandate as calls for reinstating such restrictions grow nationwide.

“There will be no mask mandate imposed, and the reasons for that are very clear,” Abbott said during a Tuesday interview.

“There are so many people who have immunities to COVID [Chinese coronavirus], whether it be through the vaccination, whether it be through their own exposure and their recovery from it, which would be acquired immunity,” he explained, adding it would be “inappropriate to require people who already have immunity to wear a mask.”

I need to move to TX.

[fwdude]

I don’t believe Abbott. If his finger-in-the-wind says otherwise....

[Wallace T.]

Good for Abbott, but he needs to restrain liberal cities and counties from reimposing mask mandates.

[CatOwner]

But if businesses and/or schools decide on one, Abbott will be on the sidelines.

“There will be no mask mandate imposed,”

Without a mandate from the Governor business can’t discriminate, it was the mandate that allowed them to do it.

Last week Walmart had signs up saying “fully vaccinated people do not have to wear a mask.”

Fine. They can put up any sign they like but they can not enforce it.

Which they were not.

[bgill]

That was easy.

Doing anything about the border is hard work.

[ryderann]

Abbott is seeing the strong conservative candidates coming on hard for his office.

[ConservaTexan]

He should mandate that only democrats must wear them.

“There will be no mask mandate imposed, and the reasons for that are very clear,” Abbott said during a Tuesday interview.

No shutdowns either, please.

Enough of this nonsense.

[T-Bird45]

The article notes “calls for reinstating a mask mandate grow nationwide” so I guess that would explain the outbreak of masking I noticed at Costco this morning. I’m glad they had the freedom to wear their “face binky” while I had the freedom to choose not to restrict my breathing.

[SmokingJoe]

Plus masks don’t work.

[sockmonkey]

All the illegals crossing the Texas border are wearing masks.

I am sure the ones being flown out of Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, TX and being dropped in other states are all wearing masks, too.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The argument for masks is lost altogether by the fact that there is no standard for what is protective. To my knowledge only the N-9 is. Other than that, people wear 2ply, 3ply, cotton, bandana, silk scarf, linen. There’s nothing scientific about that. Stupid

[Jane Long]

Texas is full.

A lot of CAs, ILs and PAs beat you, here.

[RebelTXRose]

Nor decide essential vs non.essential

Good governor. I’m sure the usual maniacal FR zealots will be along shortly to rip the governor.

[LastDayz]

Well..... he is up for re-election.

[ptsal]

Abbott is scared witless by West.

“There are so many people who have immunities to COVID [Chinese coronavirus], whether it be through the vaccination, whether it be through their own exposure and their recovery from it, which would be acquired immunity,” he explained, adding it would be “inappropriate to require people who already have immunity to wear a mask.”

But, but, but, cry Karens..."aren't we ALL in this TOGETHER?" /s

[BozoTexino]

It’s campaign season. He’ll say anything now then do the RINO dance later.
