Harris positive for COVID-19, Biden not ‘close contact’

Just a reminder, we have a corpse running the country and he can't stand the novelty that he ran with.

Harris, 57, received her first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine weeks before taking office and a second dose just days after Inauguration Day in 2021. She received a booster shot in late October and an additional booster on April 1.

So 4x vaccinated, including less than a month ago, and she still got the virus. Shocking.

The big picture: Harris, who is fully vaccinated and has received two booster shots, has no symptoms, the White House said. She is the highest-ranking administration official to contract the virus.

Biden in December of 2021 (just 4 months ago) -

This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The unvaccinated. Not the vaccinated, the unvaccinated. That’s the problem. Everybody talks about freedom and not to have a shot or have a test. Well guess what? How about patriotism? How about making sure that you’re vaccinated, so you do not spread the disease to anyone else.

Vaccination is still preventing serious disease and hospitalization, idiot.

My one friend(M, 38) who had COVID 4 times was unvaccinated(until after his 4th recent infection) and has struggled with breathing and relapses for 21 months now. Hospitalized over a dozen times too and still in a rehab facility and can hardly walk.

Other friend(M, 61) has had COVID three times, but the first was before vaccines were introduced in 2020. He was hospitalized once(before vaccination) and has largely won the battle over his long COVID from his first infection. His infection in Dec 2021 with BA.1 and third infection with BA.2 were hardly anything after he got all 3 shots.

Who would you rather be?

That is nonsense. There is no correlation whatsoever between the vaccine rollout and number of those hospitalized with Covid. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

I read/heard somewhere that Harris's last booster was only three weeks before she got infected. Seems like from past communications that three weeks is supposed to be the peak of the efficacy window for the shots, so that data point doesn't bode well for the overall efficacy propaganda.

She was asymptomatic, but keep spouting your anti-vax bullshit. All you anti-vaxxers fucked the rest of us over. I hope you're happy.

Lots of folks were asymptomatic, even non-vaxxed folks. In fact, the CDC is now saying that about 80% of kids (who are largly unvaxxed) have already had COVID and I'll bet most of them were asymptomatic too.

Well from your own link above
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2 ... covid-19-/

Biden is correct that COVID-19 is primarily a disease of the unvaccinated when we look at hospitalizations and deaths, said Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center and an attending physician in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

So i guess you like some of your link but not other parts.

I'm relying on raw data. Comparing the pre-vaccination era (namely - all of 2020 and the first month or two of 2021) to the post-vaccination era (early 2021 to now), there is no indication in the data that either daily infections or hospitalizations are down at all. Hospitalizations as a percentage of total cases are down, but only since Omicron (which has lower hospitalization rates anyways).

If vaccinations were really preventing serious disease and hospitalizations, you'd expect to see a significant drop in both once the vaccination rate went from zero to 60%, but we saw no such decline.
