Lauren Boebert stated there hadn't been a single COVID-19 death in Texas since mask restrictions ended in March. Data shows thousands had, in fact, died.

Rep. Lauren Boebert falsely claimed Texas hasn't recorded a single COVID-19 death in two months.

"Since removing the mask mandate ...Texas has not reported a single COVID death," she claimed.

Data shows 3,600 Texans lost their lives to the virus since March 2, the day restrictions were lifted.

"Texas removed their mask mandate two months ago, and Sleepy Joe called it 'Neanderthal thinking,'" she continued. "No, sir. Republicans are just following the science, and since removing the mask mandate two months ago, Texas has not reported a single COVID death. Not one."

According to data published by the Texas Department of State Health Services, around 3,600 people have lost their lives to the virus since March 2, which was the day Texas Gov. Greg Abbott lifted all COVID-19 restrictions in the state.
