Sen. John Fetterman tests positive for COVID-19

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Sen. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, has tested positive for COVID-19 and is working from home, according to the senator's official account on X.

Fetterman posted a message to X on Sunday afternoon, saying he is "experiencing mild symptoms" and is "following the appropriate CDC guidance."

The full posting said, "After a busy week in D.C., I've tested positive for COVID-19 and am experiencing mild symptoms. I'm grateful to be fully vaccinated and will be working from home, following the appropriate CDC guidance."

Fetterman's health has been a focus on the political scene in the past. In 2022, while running for Senate, Fetterman suffered a stroke. A year later, he received care for clinical depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He was hospitalized there for six weeks.

In an interview in May 2023 with KDKA Political Editor Jon Delano, Fetterman attributed the depression not only to his stroke, but also to what he calls a brutal campaign for the Senate seat he eventually won.

"It was after the brutality of the campaign, the other side," Fetterman said. "Some people believe it was one of the most vicious political campaigns."

When he returned to the Senate in April of last year, he earned praise from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle for seeking the help he needed and encouraging others to do the same.

When asked on "CBS Mornings" what advice he'd give to others in a similar circumstance, Fetterman said, "get help β€” it works."

The Pennsylvania Democrat noted that he had been skeptical before he sought treatment, saying that he thought nothing would help.

"But it did. And it worked," he said.

β€œThose shots are going to kill him.”
His covid jabs are probably what gave him a stroke.

“The difference is that the virus is no longer lethal.”

Never was lethal. Just a bunch of government and Hollywood bullshit.

RE: The only guy who actually stood by Biden.

Yes, but standing by Biden may have given him Covid.

Maybe one little kiss, you know, innocently, to show he’s loyal to Joe.πŸ’‹πŸ₯°πŸ₯ΌπŸ©ΊπŸ”¬πŸ’‰πŸ’‰πŸ›οΈ

I'm grateful to be fully vaccinated

I thought the "data" showed that vaccines worked for a couple months only. Is he on his 37th vaccine?

Discharge from the sinuses was different from any other illness - not mucus, chest cough was more than severe, body aches were profound. I have had the flu several times and this was not similar. I know of what I speak. This was engineered.
