Show Notes

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has tested positive for Covid-19, despite being fully vaccinated. The Republican has opposed mask mandates and issued an executive order banning school districts from requiring masks. Dr. Peter Hotez is the co-director at the Center for Vaccine Development at Texas Children’s Hospital. He tells Anderson Cooper school hasn’t started yet and kids are getting sick. Plus, CNN’s Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward joins AC360 from Kabul Afghanistan to describe the fear women now have that the Taliban have taken over saying they seem to “have largely melted away.”
