Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin Has COVID for Second Time in Seven Months
2022-08-17
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin tested positive for COVID-19 for the second time in seven months despite receiving four vaccine doses, he announced in a statement Monday.

“This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. I am experiencing mild symptoms, and will quarantine at home for the next five days in accordance with CDC guidelines. I will retain all authorities and plan to maintain my normal work schedule virtually from home,” he said in a statement.

He last had COVID-19 in January of this year.

He said his doctor told him that his “fully-vaccinated status, including two booster shots” is why his symptoms are less severe than would otherwise be the case.

He said his last in-person contact with President Joe Biden was more than two weeks ago, on July 29.

He ordered in August 2021 that all U.S. service members be fully-vaccinated.

Since then, tens of thousands of U.S. service members have filed for exemptions on religious and other grounds and are awaiting adjudication. More than 7,000 have been kicked out of the military for not complying with Austin’s order.

All, multiple times.

Its a contagion of The Vaxx'd!
Perhaps this isn't an appropriate time to go through my notes about what should happen to anti-vax science! denying flat earthers should they come down with the covid?

If I were in the military and had been forced to take a jab The Policy Makers needed that to happen, why, I would just be as pleased as punch right now.

Really, any of the vocations which required a jab or else. Just peachy with the whipping.

The whole supply chain of everything in a game of 52 Card Pickup.

Not Covid. Government Response to Covid. Nearly all based on Political Considerations.
