Democrat Rep. Stephen Lynch has tested positive to COVID-19 after receiving both shots of the Pfizer vaccine.
The 65-year-old Congressman - who represents Massachusetts' 8th Congressional district - tested positive for the virus on Friday afternoon, his spokeswoman told CNN.
Lynch attended President Joe Biden's inauguration last Wednesday, but returned a negative test before that event.
Lynch received his second dose of the Pfzier COVID-19 vaccine prior to the inauguration, but the spokesperson did not disclose the exact date he had the shot.
Pfizer's vaccine does not necessarily prevent COVID-19 infection, but is said to be 95 percent effective in stopping the serious symptoms that are caused by the coronavirus.

The claim rests with the people who have posted nonsense there, and debunked this-as I said, neighbors-I’m not under any obligation to give you-or anyone else-evidence of anything-and I’m not going to amuse you by scurrying around to point to posts refuting a post on the internet-but I do recall also seeing a post debunked at a couple of internet fact check-and-news sources-way before December-I’m sure you can find that online- also supposedly posted by a doc who died-even that I guess it is my turn remark was included-I’m not a believer in coincidence, but perhaps you are...
I'm not even saying I like all these doctors or trust them or that I think they're all equally competent. They have certainly done me wrong and I'll never forget it or forgive it. I just understand why they don't just do what the internet tells them to do though.
ROFLMAO
So your claim is that someone trolls a website just like they do here....but the difference is on that website that will actually verify you are a Doctor if you request it.
And you can’t point to the post by a verified Dr that is a prank...so...um.....yeah...your post is trolling
“We don’t have anything like that to guide us through this Covid business so we have to use best evidence to guide our practice. Physicians can’t really just do whatever they want.”
To some extent they can.
They can send you home and not give you a darn thing until you need to be hospitalized because there aren’t XZY studies proving XYZ..and you can end up dead
Or
They can say I can prescribe this to you. It may help. It is off label.
I would rather a Dr let me try Ivermectin rather than have to go to court to force them to try to save my life with it..or have to sneak in horse paste.
What’s the point of taking it then?“
So you don’t die.
Vaccines work.
Especially ones with all of 6 months of testing before sticking it to millions of gullible test subjects.
There are a few of those folks out here, too-one of them walks on the same hiking trail I do by the river-since last April, if she is on the trail when I am, she yells from 50 ft away, flower patterned mask on her face-stay away if you aren’t going to put on a mask-which I’m not going to do-especially in the fresh air and sunshine-she is convinced those of us who are not masked are going to wipe out humanity and will bitch at you about that from at least 30 feet away for as long as you will listen-so now, I hike on Sunday instead of Saturday-she never hikes on Sunday...
These are not vaccines. Die you say? Sorry, fearful one. The COVID flu has a 99.8 percent survival rate.
good analogy
R Nought (RO) tells you the average number of people who will contract a contagious disease from one person with that disease. It specifically applies to a population of people who were previously free of infection and haven’t been vaccinated.
For example, if a disease has an R0 of 18, a person who has the disease will transmit it to an average of 18 other people. That replication will continue if no one has been vaccinated against the disease or is already immune to it in their community.
The R0 for COVID-19 is a median of 5.7, according to a study published online in Emerging Infectious Diseases. That’s about double an earlier R0 estimate of 2.2 to 2.7
The 5.7 means that one person with COVID-19 can potentially transmit the coronavirus to 5 to 6 people, rather than the 2 to 3 researchers originally thought.
The new strain emerging in Britain designated B.1.1.7 is reported to be 50%-70% more transmissible and raises the RO by 0.4-0.7 points so now you're looking at an RO of 6.1-6.4.
It's probably important to mention that no two scientists seem to agree on what the actual Covid R Nought is because they don't know or don't want to say.
I think it's probably contagious enough to reach every person on earth eventually if left unchecked. So let's say it has a 0.5% mortality rate. 0.5% of the US population would be almost 5 million dead Americans. That's not something to be poo pooed IMO.
If you want to talk about conspiracie theories-there it is. We have a virus that was likely produced ina Chinese lab released upon the earth which has the potential to wipe out 09.5% of the earths population. Oh and it's mutating so who knows what we'll be looking at next year. We have people that thought a computer coding glitch was going to cause the complete meltdown of western civilization back in Y2k who are now convinced this is some kind of a joke. It's mind boggling. Oh, and here comes your government to confiscate your firearms-right on time.
I’m a chemist. I have studied biochemistry pretty extensively. I know exactly what mRNA does to your body. (Hint: you have a whole bunch of mRNA in your body right now even if you weren’t vaccinated — the fact that you’re alive is how I know this). Please, though, do “educate” me. What exactly do you think the mRNA is going to do if you’re vaccinated?
If posting some nonsense once is trolling then I suppose that is what it is-but it appears that anyone can prank any website-no matter if a doc, dentist or the queen of England is verified on it-another good reason to take internet info from any site with a good teaspoonful of salt...
I don’t troll-and I don’t pursue or collect online info to scream about or encourage panic either-I read interesting stuff and leave it at that-I don’t really give a damn what other people want to believe...
Warning. You may get a headache reading it.
However, it might be worth a mild headache.
Thank you-it was the 1st thing that came to mind...
And that's what they do and it is appropriate. It's battlefield triage. Most of the people they send home are still waiting on the Covid test results when they leave. If they're sick enough to need to be admitted, they get a rapid test. If they're positive they go the Medsurg Covid Unit or the ICU Covid unit depending on bad they are.
It takes 1-2 days to get test results back. We tell them to stay home and quarantine until the results come back and to return if they develop worsening symptoms. It was my job to call them up and give them their results. I would talk to them at length and if I felt they were worsening, encouraged them to come back. I saw that a couple did and we'e admitted for a few days.
About half the people I talked to were 20-30 year olds and they did fine. The older folks were more likely to be admitted or to return and they did fine ultimately too. Some of the older folks seemed to get hit harder than others.
Very few people are dying in my hospital from this disease at this point. Most all of them go home. they won't tell us how many people are dying but I can see that most of them aren't.
It was a different story back in wave 1 though. My county is like the 5th biggest county in the state but we were leading the state in Covid deaths for the first 6 months or so. I think they figured out what they're doing by now because that is no longer the case. We have a lot of nursing homes and they were all immediately overwhelmed.
wait, let me get some popcorn for this.
I 100 percent do not agree with this approach in a novel virus that people are still trying to figure out
You are causing me to possibly become a long hauler instead of being willing to give me something to counter the attack on my body and stop the virus in it’s track....not to mention the expense of an exacerbated disease and the damage to the body.
This mentality is exactly why I am proactive and have a plan and things to take on Day 1 instead of day 7 when my body is turning on me.
I notice they don’t name the Republicans without masks. Nor do they tell whether the Republicans actually have even had the WuHuFlu either.
If that is not anywhere in the story, the silence speaks volumes.
Is there any chance ..and I am talking a realistic chance...that if this is an escaped bioweapon that was not perfected that it could somehow mutate with Ebola in Africa?
I like to think that if we could actually stop this virus in its tracks, we would. That’s what I like to think.
I really don’t know who to trust any more regarding the “China Virus”.
I know many people have had adverse reactions, and some have died after taking the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.
I know the companies producing the vaccine have recipients sign disclaimers for any recourse to the vaccine response. They also deny the vaccine will make you immune to the virus, nor do they promise any beneficial action in taking the virus. (so why take the risk of taking the vaccine?)
Hard to get a solid answer on what the virus actually does.
Hard to track the virus.
Statistically, the numbers are inflated by 17x if anybody tests positive for a virus which isn’t described.
I’m not anti-vaccine, but I do know after taking the Flu Vaccine this last year, several months ago, my arm is still sore, now stretching back to my shoulder blade and down to my elbow since the shot was received.
Trump never seemed to be pro-vaccine, but appeared to outmaneuver his enemies by allowing their promotion of the vaccine as a solution to the “problem of COVID-19” and he took measures to get it produced and available in record time.
Only people who seem to promote the vaccine are the same ones who promote wearing the mask, incredibly foolish use of statistics, just to promote fear, and now a general public sentiment that the vaccine is necessary to return to a normal life.
“Lunatic fringe” theories claim the vaccine is connected to 5G and ultimately might lead to messing with the DNA, though the first vaccines are only mRNA adjusting. Of course the same lunatic fringe also warned of voter/election fraud and a massive electile dysfunction in the recent election, and those who oppose such CTs, claim American voters overwhelmingly support Biden over Trump. So I really don’t trust those who label anything truthful as CTs or lunatic fringe. (Though I tend to think the lunatic fringe are indeed just as they appear.)
So I am led to conclude most of what we are witnessing is merely biological warfare, with domestic enemies within our own healthcare system. Majority are probably well meaning, but I suspect there are a lot of ‘murderers’ out there who are seeking to make some human sacrifices along their way and not be held accountable for their criminal actions.
Except for doctors I’ve known most of my life, I don’t really trust the healthcare industry anymore. I’ve seen too many healthy people go in for simple procedures come back in body bags via the morgue and labeled COVID-19 victims, when they had no such symptoms before entering the system.
SO I simply chalk this up for a rehearsal to resist the mark of the beast. Is this the mark? I don’t think so, but I’ve been fooled before. I’ll use it as a test of willpower to resist something which in a worldly and carnal fashion appears reasonable, but not to be taken if one remains in fellowship with God through faith in Christ.
I know friends and “professionals” will give reasonable explanations, but unless rooted thru faith in Christ, I’ll use it as a test to remain in faith with Him, and follow His Plan. Just to prepare for the future, approaching us more quickly than anticipated.
