From fully vaccinated people with no symptoms to those suffering from long Covid, Australians who caught the virus have a unanimous message: get the jab

Mark* did everything right.

He followed public health measures, and as someone who works in health promotion, he was fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by the end of April, having booked in as soon as he became eligible. The 26-year-old, who lives in the Canterbury-Bankstown area in Sydney’s south-west, wore a mask, washed his hands and kept his distance.

But last Saturday, despite having no symptoms, he tested positive to the coronavirus, having acquired the Delta variant spreading in Sydney, with cases growing particularly in his local government area. He has no idea how he caught it.

This proves masks and lockdowns do not work.

Lefty lying news rags never inform, they manipulate you for their benefit.

Delta variant, huh? And he knows this how?

[Skywise]

CONFORM

...he was fully vaccinated against Covid-19

26 year old gets sick from Covid 19....
Yep idiot got vaccinated for something that might have given him the sniffles. Now he gets violently ill.
Idiots.

Vaccines, lockdowns, separation, masks, and nothing worked; he got the disease anyway. Now he recommends that the rest of us jump on the bandwagon and get a vaccine that didn't work? It was supposed to make the symptoms not as virulent but it didn't work either.

I totally did Nazi that coming.

[rktman]

Oh, well on that case. NOT!

Is COVID higher in the active homosexual population? Not assuming this young man is such but it would be one explanation for the rise of Delta variant in younger population.

“But last Saturday, despite having no symptoms, he tested positive to the coronavirus”

Where in the story does it say he got violently ill?

Flatten the curve

With tanks like in Tiananmen Square.

>>Delta variant, huh? And he knows this how? "Trust US!"

Dnice4Jesus @DeniceMarin emailed the CDC to ask them how they are verifying what variant is dominant. This was their answer. Thoughts?

This tells me we've been taken on the long con by the Marxists who want to kill capitalism and change our economic model to communism.

Here's a story about a guy who did everything right and still got the covid.

And then here sits me, who has done nothing right and I don't get the covid. I don't wear a mask and haven't since the beginning. I don't social distance. I've never locked down. I go about my business as I always have since before this pandemic started. And there ain't no way hale I am getting a vaccine for a disease that has a 99.8% survivor rate.

There will be those who say that my turn will come. Maybe so. But at least I haven't wasted the last year and a half of my life quivering in my basement hoping the boogie man doesn't give me cooties.

Is COVID higher in the active homosexual population?

That would be my guess here in the U.S., given the latest about Provincetown.

[absalom01]

Well, that should be the headline. He didn’t get sick. Didn’t even know he had it, and didn’t pass it along to anyone.

[A strike]

“How did we go from “flatten the curve” to “stay home until you accept communism”?

Because people accepted it.. That was it’s purpose.
