 Manchin tests positive for COVID-19
by Peter Sullivan - 07/25/22 10:01 AM ET

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said Monday that he tested positive for COVID-19.

“This morning I tested positive for COVID-19,” Manchin wrote on Twitter. “I am fully vaccinated and boosted and am experiencing mild symptoms. I will isolate and follow CDC guidelines as I continue to work remotely to serve West Virginians.”

Manchin is the latest in a string of senators to test positive, as well as President Biden.

If other Democrats test positive next week, it could pose an obstacle for passing a health care measure that would lower prescription drug prices and continue enhanced financial assistance under the Affordable Care Act. Manchin is a key vote on the measure in a Senate split evenly between the two parties.

Sens. Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Tina Smith (D-Minn.) also tested positive last week.

I have joined the ranks of the Covid positive despite being vaccinated and double boosted. I caught it after my wife became positive...

...So far I have flu-like symptoms. I am displaying the common strong cough, headache, sore throat and an overriding desire for a special counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation.

I'm double-vaxed and double-boosted with the Pfizer shot, and I got Covid in June.  My wife did not.

My parents-in-law, double-vaxed and double-boosted with the Moderna shot, got Covid two weeks ago.

Everyone is doing okay, but my mother-in-law was put on a course of paxlovid.

This week, it's spreading like wildfire among my co-workers and their families.

Regardless of vaccination status, there's almost no escaping this latest variant.

Time's up for Biden admin to update the shots.  Those developed to fight Wuhan Classic are no longer working to prevent disease.  Only a matter of time before later variants start putting more people in the hospitals again.

At least Manchin is relatively healthy, not like el presidente débil.

I strongly disagree.  As a non-'vaccinated' [sic] person, I have been around people infected with this latest variant, and I have not become infected myself.  I owe it to the fact that I chose not to inject immunosuppressive agents into my body - agents that were medically engineered to suppress my own body's immune system.  I think 'vaccination' [sic] status has a hell of a lot to do with escaping this latest variant.

Big DITTOS 

I have been protected only by jacking up my immune system with vitamins and minerals, and the occasional round of horse paste when faced with a crowd of interlopers. Same with my family. All of em, except my liberal sister and her fam, who have been infected numerous times, and seen many they know die.

Remember the media reaction when Trump said this?"  (Video)
