Argentina’s President Alberto Fernandez, who received two doses of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine earlier this year, has tested positive for Covid-19, his doctor confirmed.

Fernandez had earlier said that he was self-isolating after receiving a positive result from an antibody test. A polymerase chain reaction test, which is more definitive, had confirmed the result, according to a statement signed by Federico Saavedra, Fernandez’s long-time personal doctor and now a member of his medical staff.

Fernandez is “stable, asymptomatic and with indicators within normal ranges, Saavedra said. The president had taken a test after running a fever and suffering a headache yesterday.

The Argentine leader took a first dose of the Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccine in a public hospital in Buenos Aires province in January and received a second dose on Feb. 11, his press office confirmed. The vaccine works and he would be feeling a lot worse without it, Fernandez told Infobae today. He said he feels well and has no serious symptoms. The president doesn’t know how he got infected, he told AM750 radio.

Well, that's what the vaccines DO promises in common don't they?

1). The vaccine makers DO NOT promise that you will 100% NOT be infected. None of the current vaccine makers make that promise.

2) However, they DO promise that even if you DO get it, your sickness will be either mild or asymptomatic. That's what the Argentinian President essentially got.

#2 isn’t 100%. Maybe 90%. But that’s only when measured for a few months after. Did you see the poll of scientists when asked how long they thought the protection might last?

Some thought a few months, some 6, some 9... most thought less than a year.

Any surprises in store for long term effects?
“emergency” approval, “experimental use”.
All the companies totally immune from lawsuits.
Huge money being made, anyone with bad news or speculation silenced.

A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins. The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and to further recognize and destroy any of the microorganisms associated with that agent that it may encounter in the future.

So if you test positive for covid after getting the covid vaccine...is it really a surprise or shock?

Okay... Right afterward, maybe not. Months later, your body is supposed to be destroying the virus when it comes into contact with it. Not coming down with it.

According to statistics, the VAST majority of people who get Covid ALREADY end up with “mild symptoms” or are asymptomatic. I’m not seeing how the “ science” thus demonstrates the “vaccines” are any improvement

I miss cross country skiing with Bennie.

He introduced me to the Talking Heads.

His dog Leisle jumped up and bit the corner off the elbow of my seriously nice black leather jacket.

I was at Bennie’s farm to put up a split rail fence with his John Deer post hole digger off the PTO.

We finished.

Then we started a big fire upon which he tossed in an “empty” gas can which blew up and singed my eye brows.

Sorta remember bits and pieces after that...

I found the poll I was talking about:

Two-thirds (of 77 epidemiologists, virologists, and infectious disease specialists polled) believe we have “a year or less before the virus mutates to the extent that the majority of first-generation vaccines are rendered ineffective and new or modified vaccines are required.

I wonder how long we have before H1N1 (Spanish Flu) mutates and becomes more virulent?

wow. I can handle a lot. ...but this.

I lost my mom to Alzheimer’s in 2002 at 36.

I have 3 older sisters who all told me to come back home.

I was in San Diego and left my career, came back home to Michigan. I was there when she seize up in her hospice room. Just me and her.

I held her hand and told her it was okay and she died that night.

You Canadian POS. You’re representing right?!

Get over yourself and learn how to read, bonehead. Thin about what others actually DO respond to.

BTW, the only thing I suck are licorice drops. You tried me you'd never go back to girls. Not that I'd ever give you that chance, wanna-be my gurl.

People making noise about it do not understand how vaccines work.
It doesn’t prevent getiing positive, it is just diminish the chance of severe case or death.
