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…

He has a breakthrough infection? Is he sure it’s COVID or maybe something smarmier from his backstabbing back room deals?

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.

The most dangerous vaccines in history according to VAERS, and we are posting lies? Dr Robert Malone a liar? Dr Peter McCullough a liar? Dr Luc Montagnier a liar? Everyone’s a liar except the Freeper Vaxx Shills. If they are lies, why is the “lying Media” censoring them?

Thank you for the Israeli study, I wonder why their findings are not being reported in the US?

“ However, there is a very real risk that additional vaccinations, which inject or induce the coronavirus spike protein, could substantially increase the risk of serious cardiovascular and neurological adverse events, such as strokes, GBS and heart muscle inflammation. Globally, covid vaccines may already have killed tens of thousands of people. Alternatives include safer oral vaccine candidates or medically supervised, low-dose oral live virus challenges in low-risk people.

Furthermore, the millions of people who were told that vaccination will protect them against a coronavirus infection will soon have to realize (once again) that this is not the case: instead, most of them will get infected anyway. On the positive side, this may actually provide additional mucosal immunity to large parts of the population while being mostly protected against severe disease.

Indeed, data from Israel as well as recent studies all indicate that a previous coronavirus infection continues to offer the best protection against future infections and disease.….”

Right, I get that - the 90%+ effective is more than good enough for diseases that have been largely eradicated over time. Herd immunity. Even those “Anti-Vaxx” folks are probably OK, they are taking (selfish ...) advantage of the dearth of circulating viruses and the large cohort of herd immune people.

What’s interesting is to see the Schizophrenics On Acid word salad the officials are putting out there for public consumption. In the same way it is intolerable to say, have the TSA single out Granny in a wheelchair, to crawl up her ass ass with a microscope at the airport for “Homeland Security” purposes, while at the same time hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants from golly knows where pour across undefended, unsecured borders,

None of these people have been vaccinated. N.b. we’re not just talking about the Covid-19, they haven’t necessarily been vaccinated for ANYTHING, Polio, TB, Ebola, Smallpox, you name it.

If the government were honest and forthright about this, transparent, we could take them seriously. Unsecured borders with millions of sick indivuduals streaming across. Put on planes, and sprinkled far and wide to cities and towns across America. Who the &@$k are they kidding!??

But they tell me I gotta wear a dust mask in my house?? LOL!! I can’t believe anything they say, they squandered their credibility over decades, and have left millions of Americans confused, frightened, and outraged over their incompetence, if not outright homicidal behahavior.

“Not a prescription for confidence going forward.”

Yeah. It was a rapid test and she has gone in for a more thorough test. But...she has the symptoms and is feeling cruddy.

Also, I can imagine this is why the people pushing the vaccine (Gubmint) are trotting out the FUD for a variant and Delta vector BS.

"Well...you've been vaccinated but not for the full range of mutations and variants. Keep coming in to get your booster shots every 3 weeks.!"

Yeah. Not.

It’s hard to know, especially after finding out they can’t even distinguish between covid and common flu. Not sure how they are gonna test for variants in that light.also the vaccine can cause the tests to show ‘positive for covid antibodies’ fro what I understand. Still not sure how they can determine even that if they can’t tell covid from flu
