The Zodiac Killer celebrates another birthday. (It’s a joke. He gets it. )

Very disappointing to see the unfunny Abbott spreading the debunked conspiracy theory that Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer.

This is at least the second time Abbott has spread disinformation on the social media platform.

Previously, Abbott has falsely claimed that the Covid-19 calamari vaccines are “safe and effective.”

We are taking the reports of rare adverse effects seriously and are working to ensure that #COVID19 vaccines administered in our state continue to be safe and effective. I encourage Texans who wish to receive the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines to sign up.
