Simply Irresistible

 

"She's so fine there's no tellin where the money went", classic line from Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistible" -- (you know it's going through your head right now)

 

Now and then I like to "go Weird Al" on songs and change up the lyrics. 

 

"COVID's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went"

 

We here in Texas wonder why Gov. Abbott (R) went along with the fear and closed down Texas, issued mask mandates, and didn't stand strong like Gov. Kristi Noem who kept SD open and mask-free. Wonder no longer:

 

Abbott is cozy with Dr. Mark McClellan, Director of the Margolis Center for Health Policy at Duke Univ in NC. Follow the dots...

 

1. McClellan was Abbott's CHIEF MEDICAL ADVISOR during COVID.

2. McClellan's Margolis Center profited $75.3 BILLION for COVID studies.

3. If COVID goes away, if Texas stays open and people are not fearful, the payday disappears. 

 

"COVID's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went" 

 

Next, we have an entrepreneur named Das Nobel, whose Frisco TX tech company, MTX, received nearly $300 MILLION (sure, a drop in the bucket compared to McClellan's payday) for developing contact tracing. At this time, we don't have contact tracing (NOT complaining!), but where. did. the. money. go? 

 

Simply irresistible...
