Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Monday that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, even though he was fully vaccinated.
“I was just informed by the House physician I have tested positive for COVID-19 even after being vaccinated,” he said.
“I started having flu-like symptoms Saturday night and went to the doctor this morning. I feel like I have a sinus infection and at present time I have mild symptoms. I will be quarantining for ten days,” he added.
Graham is the first senator known to test positive for the coronavirus in months. Nearly every senator has been vaccinated.
Graham was spotted at the Capitol on Monday and briefly spoke to reporters…

The smallpox vaccine is 95% effective. The pertussis (Whooping Cough) vaccine is 80% effective. No vaccine is 100% effective. Four doses of the polio vaccine is the closest, but still imperfect. Some people are just susceptible to infection for whatever biological, medical, or genetic reason.
With Influenza, there are multiple viruses that cause it, and each of them rapidly mutates. Current flu vaccines take months to manufacture, so they have to make educated guesses about which flu viruses will be active in the US next season. Manufacturing for the fall flu season begins around March. The new mRNA platform should provide a huge helping hand here since there’s nothing to culture (”grow”). So they should be able to wait until right before flu season, see what’s actually active, and rapidly produce a flu shot that exactly matches it. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we saw a flu shot that’s 95% effective within the next 3 years.
The “common cold” is actually just a set of symptoms produced by any one of over 200 different viruses from multiple families. Creating a vaccine for the common cold would mean creating a vaccine for all those different viruses. And since many of them change year to year, you’d need a new shot every year. And given the size and scope of monitoring all those viruses, sequencing them, testing vaccine candidates against each of them, and combining all that into a shot, you’re probably talking $30,000 a year to do it. No technical reason you couldn’t, but are you prepared to spend $30,000 a year to avoid getting a cold?
Neither is anyone else. Hence, no market for a cold vaccine. Hence, no cold vaccine.
uh if a person is vaccinated and never exposed to a virus is the vaccine 100% effective? methinks not. Likewise if a person is not vaccinated and does not get the virus are they 100% immune or were they never exposed? flawed computation

What linda actually meant.
If I wanted to make money, I'd have to switch sides and post a bunch of lies about the vaccines. And I'm not sure there's any room left for people posting lies about the vaccines; looks like that market is saturated.
That guy looks like Burney Sanders...
The acute emergency phase of covid is over. We are in the chronic stage. The two contexts are not the same and so require different solutions. If one is afraid of covid then take responsibility for yourself and get the vaccine. You do not need to force me to do anything. That is the way a free individualist country works. Each person makes up his own mind and leaves others alone.
Did they plan for these vaccines to be the most dangerous and deadly in the history of mass vaccination according to VAERS?
You’re understating. They cause more harm and deaths than all vaccines of the 20th century combined.
bfl
More like 2022 and 2024 elections are cancelled, Dems keep power forever.
Why would Dems risk an uprising by cancelling elections when they have proven methods to fraud them (ie Nov 2020)?
I'll wager a large pizza that Mr. May 7, 2020 is a USA deep state dude either CDC or NIH, maybe FDA but few as clever as this guy. He or she prolly very well reimbursed. I'm jealous - govt work pays well these days.
Will Lynsey have natural immunity after recovering or do people who are vaccinated get something else?
Typical PeeWee Herman response:
“I know you are, but what am I?”
Sounds to me like a nerdy intern at one of the alphabet agencies.
Don’t care. He should die a traitors death.
Provincetown was my first thought. Playing in sewage is not healthy.
Why in the bloody hell are people surprised? There is no “breakthrough”. That implies the shots are vaccines.Any one who says the shots are vaccines is either misinformed or lying. They’re not. They are a treatment to eradicate the spike protein, not the virus.
That escalated quickly.
