But you're not talking about women's health here, are you? And more than 515,000 formerly alive Americans might have a quibble with whether there's a demonstrable connection between simple, accessible, CHEAP countermeasures and the public health. But they can't quibble, because they're dead. Meanwhile, your beloved state of Texas continues to be one of the leading states for rate of infection per 100,000.

Greg Abbott and John Cornyn have been wrong since COVID came to Texas. What makes you think this terrible choice is right?
