In Texas the number of deaths doubled because so many Texans refused to take a Covid vaccine

Dr. Peter Hotez: "Let's compare the state of Texas with the nation of Canada...Canada has suffered 51,000 Covid deaths during the pandemic, Texas 100,000...because after vaccines became freely widely available in the nation of Canada sometime in early mid 2021 the deaths halted because Canadians for the most part got vaccinated. In Texas the number of deaths doubled because so many Texans refused to take a Covid vaccine because they were a victim of this predatory movement. And that's the shocker, that 40, 50 thousand Texans needlessly dying. In a paper I wrote called the Great Texas Covid tragedy I argue this is the single worst tragedy that ever affected the state of Texas."
