Vaccinated Democrats Test Positive For COVID

Senator Elizabeth Warren was the first to announce she had tested positive for COVID.

“I regularly test for COVID [and] while I tested negative earlier this week, today I tested positive with a breakthrough case,” she tweeted.

“Thankfully, I am only experiencing mild symptoms [and] am grateful for the protection provided against serious illness that comes from being vaccinated [and] boosted,” she added.

Donald Trump Jr. couldn’t help but take a jab at Warren over her past scandalous history of having boosted her career with false claims of Native American heritage.

“Damn white people spreading diseases to the natives,” he tweeted.

On a serious note, it’s good news that the 72-year-old Senator is doing well. Warren’s oldest brother, Donald Reed Herring, sadly died of COVID-19 in April of 2020.

“I learned today that I tested positive for COVID-19 after first feeling symptoms on Saturday,” Booker tweeted.

“My symptoms are relatively mild,” he continued. “I’m beyond grateful to have received two doses of vaccine and, more recently, a booster – I’m certain that without them I would be doing much worse.”

Three triple-vaxxed Democrats announcing positive COVID tests seem to indicate anyone is susceptible to getting COVID.

“It’s here now and it’s spreading and it’s going to increase,” Biden said.

“For unvaccinated we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death if you’re unvaccinated for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they will soon overwhelm.”

The President is expected to make a speech on Tuesday to announce new steps the administration is taking in order to respond to the omicron variant.

An official indicates Biden will announce additional measures while “issuing a stark warning of what the winter will look like for Americans that choose to remain unvaccinated.”
