In other words, the vaccine worked and he appears to be fine.
I’m not sure why these stories are still news. This is not newsworthy. pic.twitter.com/ntZxqSXGY2

And it raises a valid question:
Why are we testing asymptomatic, fully vaccinated and/or recovered people, again? https://t.co/wGX6EyrORD

How long is it going to be recommended that asymptomatic people be regularly tested for coronavirus? https://t.co/592fFT3kfB

With covid endemic and vaccines widely available, my question is: What is the off-ramp for surveillance testing asymptomatic vaccinated individuals?
Will we be doing this in perpetuity? https://t.co/XjTYqPHhqS

Stories like this also bring out the petty partisan nastiness.

Has he taken horse dewormer yet?
— Adv Pirotecnico (@JoysonFilho) October 1, 2021
It'd really be a shame if he didn't have enough horse paste…

He will need to carry that COVID to full term. Better not be taking any meds to induce the death of that virus in his cells.

Sounds like rapey Brett has been putting his schnoz where it doesn't belong, per uszh.

probably not very likely he spread it to Thomas, so we shouldn't get our hopes up.

Loads more where that came from.
It will be a smorgasbord of the following:
A. “I hope he dies.”
B. “I hope he dies and passed it on to Breyer and he dies too.”
It’s predictable. It’s boring.
Seinfeld is on Netflix. That’s the news of the day.

Jay pretty much nailed it.
Works every time. Oh well.
