Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) has tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday afternoon after a member of his staff tested positive for the virus.
“This afternoon U.S. Representative Stephen F. Lynch received a positive test result for COVID-19 after a staff member in the Congressman's Boston office had tested positive earlier in the week,” Molly Rose Tarpey, a spokesperson for Lynch said in a statement, according to CNN.
Tarpey said that Lynch plans to isolate and will vote by proxy over the coming week, the news outlet reported. He remains asymptomatic.
Lynch had received a second dose of Pfizer and BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine and tested negative before attending President Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, according to CNN.
Lynch’s office didn’t immediately return a request for The Hill.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says it takes “a few weeks” for the body to build immunity after vaccination, meaning that a person could be exposed just before or right after the jab and still get sick.
Lynch is the latest lawmaker to test positive for COVID-19 this month. Several Democratic lawmakers said they tested positive after the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, stating that their GOP colleagues refused to wear masks while they were forced to gather together in an undisclosed, secure location.
Dozens of Capitol Police officers have also tested positive for COVID-19 in the wake of the riots.
I’m sure it an anomaly.../s
Wait. I’m confused. I thought they already tested this on rats before the roll out?
Man that sucks. After he went to all the trouble to cut in front of the line and he still gets it.
Dr. Simone Gold, (kook or not, I’m not sure) spoke about this happening. She said the virus will make the body think it has Covid forever and people who are vaccinated “could” test positive forever.
Ouch, that’s funny.
Sounds like what the TB vax does.
The new must-have t-shirt.
I Was At The Capitol On Jan 6
And All I Got Was Covid And This T-Shirt
Now I have to change my name for what happened on Jan 6.
The Great Covid Capitol Chicken Chase
Breaking?
Hopefully he has spread the virus to all of his demonrat pals
Was that the new anal probe test?
“Dr.” Simone Gold, as a pathological liar, is clearly a child of Satan (like Jesus noted over 2000 years ago).
Give him the Chinese anal wipe!
Give him the big one!
The king sized blanket wipe!
That way we’ll know for sure.
I wonder how many people who have taken the vaccine would test positive.
Is it okay that I just don’t care?
I’m ready to volunteer for an experimental Hibernation Program to be reawakened in 100 Years.
If I wake up and it turns out to be like the Movie Idiocracy I will not be surprised.
Of course the way things are going we will probably be there in ten years, not a hundred.
Does Lynch have symptoms?
Nope, not feeling it.
Boo hoo.
The studies to get these “vaccines” to market and emergency use were to lessen the severity of disease, not prevent it.
So he would never have known he had COVID had he not been tested.
