Rep. Kay Granger has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, her office says.
Granger received her first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in December, Both vaccines currently being administered in the U.S. require two doses.
The Republican, whose district includes Fort Worth, was tested upon returning to Washington D.C. for the 117th Congress.
She began quarantining as soon as she heard of her positive result.
Her office says Granger is asymptomatic and feeling great.
Granger won her bid for re-election in November.
The Centers for Disease Control recommend that people wear a mask, practice social distancing, and wash their hands regularly even after receiving the vaccine.
Full statement from Granger's office:
___________________________________________
“When she arrived in DC for the beginning of the 117th Congress, Congresswoman Kay Granger was tested for coronavirus in accordance with the Attending Physician’s guidance for Members when traveling from their home state. She was later notified that she tested positive and immediately quarantined. Having received the vaccine in December, she is asymptomatic and feeling great! She will remain under the care of the her doctor.”

OK, the reply from the Pfizer vaccine supporters would be - the first dose will not guarantee protection against being infected. You need TWO DOSES as required to get full protection.
DOES IT?
Democraps still immune....
Could the vaccine cause the positive test?
Good question.
If I remember correctly, it’s only about 50% effective at 5-10 days, and increases to about 85% by 21 days. The linked piece doesn’t mention what day she was tested or vaccinated.
I just checked to see how many weeks had to pass before you can get the second shot, and it's 3-4 weeks, but then what happens if they don't have the second dose in stock when you are supposed to get it? And nobody seems to know, that if you get the virus after the first shot, do you need to get the second shot?
Because the Shingrix requires two shots, and 3-4 weeks in between, the doctor, or the pharmacy may not have the second shot in stock when it's time to get it. When I got the first Shingrix shot, they told me to call first to make sure they had it in stock. I ended up having to go to Indiana as my youngest son was having cancer surgery, and I didn't get the second shot for several months.
This is bound to happen to some folks.
Why must they broadcast it each time, as if it’s something
Earth-shaking?
It’s a TWO REGIMEN protection. Get over it!
Next they’ll find someone who came down with it five hours
after the second shot. It takes time for the vaccine to
work.
Not that long ago, a male ER nurse tested positive, 19 days after getting the first shot. I think it was in California.
Neutralized virus will test positive. Vaccines confer immunity in that the virus won’t cause disease but if exposed it still gets in to the body. These tests identify presence of RNA. A completely neutralized virus, coated with antibodies, still has its RNA which can be amplified by PCR.
The science answer to this is NO. But if you are doing the anti-body test, it’s still possible to show positive on that test.
It probably ought to be laid out...the vaccination does not stop you from a transmission situation. It only hinders the symptoms and full development of Covid-19.
There was some study done in December in Bavaria with younger kids. What they found was that they had an official record of x-number of kids who had Covid-19. With the test/study....the actual number of kids who had Covid-19 was SIX times the x-number. So I would suggest that a whole lot of people have had Covid and only shown marginal symptoms.
I recall reading that from the first shot, it takes 28 days to have a 84% chance of immunity. The second shot brings the chances up to 95% after a number of additional days.
That's why these news stories about people getting COVID not too long after getting a shot, really aren't news.
A completely neutralized virus, coated with antibodies, still has its RNA which can be amplified by PCR.So... is it the remnants of the virus or the amplified levels of PCR? Or both, but not the former without the latter?
No.
mRNA vaccines take advantage of the process that cells use to make proteins in order to trigger an immune response
– mRNA vaccines do not contain a live virus and do not carry a risk of causing disease in the vaccinated person
– mRNA from the vaccine never enters the nucleus of the cell and does not
affect or interact with a person’s DNA
Always a Republican
You'd think some enterprising journalist might think to ask exactly which day she received the first shot, as it's important to know. Not a single article I've read said anything other than "in December".
Um, would that not also be an effect of the vaccine... detectable antibodies?
OMG
Or if you only understand Twitter garble:
@RUN @FOR @YOUR @LIVES, @THE @SKY @IS @FALLING, @THE @SKY @IS @FALLING
@O@M@G!
Screw thus stupid bug
Don’t get tested. Ever. It’s a sham
This is a Communist plot to take over the United States of America
