Earlier today, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that she would not be able to make the Queens Pride parade today because “she came down with a really bad cold”:
Hey everyone – I was super excited to march in Queens Pride today, but sadly I came down with a really bad cold this weekend and won’t be able to make it ?
Our organizers will be marching + tabling at the festival with resources for the community. Celebrate extra for me! ??

Fast forward a few hours and — SURPRISE — AOC is all smiles at the parade:

So rather than stay home and take care of herself, she popped some over-the-counter cold meds and decided to go and infect everyone else with her illness?
Couldn’t let this suit go to waste✨
Thanks to some extra rest, medicine + vaporu (?) we were able to rally + join everyone for a bit at #Pride today.
Thanks @CabanForQueens + @JimmyVanBramer for saying hi! ⬇️ https://t.co/xKLZoa1y91

She posted on Instagram that she took some DayQuil and that made everything better:
Watch her IG story. She got DayQuil and rallied

You know, DayQuil doesn’t prevent you from spreading the cold virus when you hug people:
