Greg Abbott trumpeted that the state was over its bumpy rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations and pledged that it would soon be inoculating 50,000 residents daily. Officials are setting up 28 vaccination hubs around the state to streamline the process, he added. No one is rooting for the rollout to fall short, especially not as Texas this week became the second state to surpass 30,000 COVID-19 deaths. However, critics say Abbott s failure to deliver on his big promises earlier in the pandemic are reason to be skeptical.
