Three-time Olympic champion Gabby Douglas’ return to competitive gymnastics – originally set for this weekend – will have to wait, after the American tested positive for Covid-19.

Douglas last competed almost eight years ago at the Rio Olympics, but announced her intention to return to the sport in an Instagram post last year

She was due to make her much-anticipated return in this weekend’s Winter Cup in Kentucky, but announced on social media that she had to pull out after testing positive for Covid-19.

“I’m so sad to say that I won’t be competing this weekend,” she wrote on Instagram Thursday, wishing her fellow competitors good luck.

“I was so excited to get back out on the competition floor, but unfortunately, I just tested positive for Covid.

This was around the time in 2020 when the Covid hysteria started gaining steam, in part due to pro and college sports players that "tested positive" for Covid. Looks like this might be the beginnings of more Covid shenanigans.

And they are still trying to figure out how to use it to steal the 2024 election. They keep it going just in case they can find a way to use it to cheat.

Just waiting for the “outbreak” of the latest, most deadliest, “variant” ... which, of course, will require everyone to have half-dozen injections of the latest synthetic mRNA concoction ... because you have to have it so everyone else doesn’t get sick. You don’t want to get anyone else sick ... you’re not that kind of heartless science-denier!!!

Wear a mask!

6 feet!

Social Distancing!!

Maybe a little jab could have been worked into her routine.

Even my 99 years-old grandmother can find time for the jab. Zip side effects. Zip side effects for anyone at the assisted living center. Masks are required for visitors.

If you have perfect health—no obesity, no diabetes, no alcohalism, etc—the vaccine works as it was designed. You will not get contagious.

Unsafe and Ineffective.

Synthetic mRNA injection shills and their unmitigated BS have long since lost all their credibility.

That’s such a line of bullsh*t. Get out of here, Pfizer.

‘Masks are required for visitors.’

masks are completely useless, and those requiring them know this; I had a respiratory infection a while ago, and went to a clinic to get a script for a cough suppressant, and because I had a viral infection, they told me to wait outside...

‘what if I wear a mask, can I stay inside” I asked.

“oh,no,” they answered “you have to wait outside, and put your mask on when you come back”

“so you’re admitting the masks are useless, since you won’t let me stay here with one on, for fear of infecting others.”

“oh, no the masks work,” they said.

“then why do I have to go outside”

“so you won’t be around others in close proximity.”

“so what does the mask do?” I asked.

“they protect those around you.”

‘so why did you make me go outside, when I was wearing a mask”

” your question makes no sense, sir; just step outside.”

Don’t take the PCR tests, they give out 99% false positives. They were never designed to be used for diagnostic purposes.

LOL!

Your question made perfect sense, Nurse Karen knew it, and didn’t want to admit the obvious.

She probably has had the shots and that caused her Covid.

Why do all the medical people wear masks? Is it just part of the uniform? Why not ask your doctor for the medical reason it is done. If you don’t have a doctor, there are ways to get medical advice. And, medical people have to be very scientific in what they say. Malpractice lawsuits can be very costly.

They DON'T.

It's useless and stupid to ask why something is done when IT ISN'T DONE.
