The Republican Party of Texas will hold its statewide convention on July 16 – 17 in Houston.  As 6,000 Republicans gather at the downtown convention center, no masks will be required.

One of the big sponsors is the Texas Medical Association.

Oddly enough, the Texas Medical Association cancelled its own convention set in last May in Fort Worth, even though Texas had a low rate of the virus then.  They have continued to hold board meetings online, but I guess you can’t upset Republicans if you want to keep medical care for-profit.

And the TMA ain’t backing down.

Annear said TMA’s agreement with the Republican Party of Texas was set in stone “before the pandemic was a major issue here — before we hit any stay-home suggestions or mandates, mask policies or anything like that.”

And because the group signed on to the sponsorship before the pandemic began and “no conditions like that were discussed,” it will not back out of the agreement, he said.

So if the Republican Party of Texas decided to obey a demand of random hourly human sacrifice to the gods of presidential pardons, the TMA would not throw the first set stone.

You can contact the Texas Medical Association here.  In the sweetest possible way, you might want to thank them for filling up ICU beds with people who do not believe in science, that doctors are part of making up this hoax, and that human sacrifice might be a good idea.

Shame on them. There are medical people dying trying to save lives and these dudes are supporting a 6,000 person petri dish bomb.
