Wendy Williams tests positive for ‘breakthrough’ case of COVID-19

NEW YORK - Wendy Williams has tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19, according to the TV talk show host’s Instagram account.

"The Wendy Williams Show," which was set to begin its 13th season on Sept. 20, will now air reruns until the rescheduled season premiere date, Oct. 4, to give the host time to recover, the post read.

"To allow Wendy time to quarantine and fully recover and to ensure that our productions abides by all SAG/AFTRA and DFA Covid protocols, we expect to begin the 13th season of The Wendy Williams Show on Monday, October 4th," the Instagram post read.

Last week, the show announced on Instagram that Williams was undergoing further health evaluations and would be unable to complete any promotional activities.

A breakthrough case, while rare, is when a person who is fully vaccinated against the novel coronavirus still gets infected.

In studies, the two-dose COVID-19 vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna were around 95% effective at preventing illness, while the one-shot Johnson & Johnson shot was 72% effective, though direct comparisons are difficult. So while the vaccines are very good at protecting us from the virus, it’s still possible to get infected with mild or no symptoms, or even to get very sick.

If you do end up getting sick despite vaccination, experts say the shots help reduce the severity of the illness — the main reason to get vaccinated.

But the understanding of how vaccinated people who are infected might spread the virus to others is changing.

Previously, health officials believed vaccinated people who get breakthrough infections were unlikely to spread the virus. But with the more contagious delta variant that is now dominant, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said new data shows people who get infected could carry enough virus in their noses and throats to spread it to others.

The agency updated its guidance in July to say vaccinated people should go back to wearing masks indoors in areas where the virus is surging.

"It is concerning enough that we feel like we have to act," Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, said in July.

Still, health experts say the vaccines provide strong protection against serious illness. In the U.S., people who weren’t vaccinated make up nearly all hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19.

BIDEN: “If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the IC unit, and you’re not going to die.” —

Wendy Williams didn't just "test positive". She was HOSPITALIZED with COVID despite being "fully vaccinated".

Clearly it's not a vaccine.

Breakthrough Case?

At some point these fools will realize the vaccine if for last year’s Covid doesn’t work against the NEW Covid variants.

They are pushing an obsolete vaccine...

Niece had Covid a year ago - came down with another bout two weeks ago - yet “the science” tells us having the disease makes one about twenty-five times better immune than the vax - so much for following the evidence - whatever that is......

When do all of these “rare” breakthrough cases start getting reported as “common”?

Correct, in my work environment, there are now 8 breakthrough cases, all 8 have been vaxed, and they all were quarantined for Covid, one, has had Covid twice! Before leaving today, another that had been vaxed , was put in quarantine…..

I’ve said it once I’ve said it 1000 times

The vaccine industry is demented and evil and most of all- fraudulent!!

Whatever they’re shooting into your bloodstream gives you the disease

This has been documented over and over again

The eternal quest for “antibodies” is satanic

They have murdered millions and millions of children !!

and continue to ruin the lives of millions and millions more!!

Death 💀! Paralysis !! Weird diseases !!

And if you ever try to garner sympathy because you’ve taken one of their shots and suffered terribly or someone you know has died

they attack you!!!!

Who is they?

Those who push poison shots

Mostly it’s the pharmaceutical companies; the media ; and their politicians

We need to have this debate right now in the open !!!

enough of this vaccination crap!!!

Vaccines don’t work - and they cause much more harm than good

The truth is clearly coming out now as the complete Nazi takeover of government by the vaccine industry is in complete force

People say it’s a take a titanic good versus evil Goliath battle

as the left tries to take over the world 🌎!!!!!

with their “. coronavirus “””. communist great reset

scheme

I say. don’t be fooled by these people!!!!

Notice how in India they were brilliant and just quickly distributed ivermectin and took the bug out

they’ve also been using silver for many millennia

Many other countries around the world being subjected to this communist game this coronavirus nonsense are also implementing such protocols

People want to be free ! they don’t want to be slaves!!!

Therefore - good must prevail over evil

Prevail it. MUST !!!

A breakthrough case, while rare...

“Rare”. I do not think the word means what you think it means.
