.Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Monday that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, even though he was fully vaccinated.
“I was just informed by the House physician I have tested positive for COVID-19 even after being vaccinated,” he said.
“I started having flu-like symptoms Saturday night and went to the doctor this morning. I feel like I have a sinus infection and at present time I have mild symptoms. I will be quarantining for ten days,” he added.
Graham was one of 17 GOP senators who have been helping advance a bipartisan infrastructure bill, meaning its supporters will be down a vote until he comes out of quarantine. They only need 10 GOP senators to support it if every Democrat does.
Graham is the first senator known to test positive for the coronavirus in months, and the first known "breakthrough" case among vaccinated senators. A CNN survey earlier this year found that only four out of 100 senators, at the time, were not vaccinated.
Graham's announcement comes amid growing public concern about the potential for so-called breakthrough cases, or when a fully vaccinated person tests positive for the coronavirus.

Were these the 4 that did not respond to the cnn poll?
And cnn assumed a no response indicates no vaccine. -

Public health officials have stressed that symptomatic breakthrough infections for fully vaccinated individuals are rare
Uh...
Please love yourself.

Shit's getting real.

I thought it got real 18 months ago? No way we're not at least partially shut down this fall.
By the way... The reason people are discounting the CDC guidance? Because the CDC guidance keeps turning up to be pretty crappy. The Nate Silver twitter thread is a perfect example. Nate defends the CDC numbers, but later on you find out that the Israeli numbers are coming back FAAAARRRRR lower than the CDC claimed on breakthroughs...

@horace You can call it that. I call it nasty mean-mindedness -- especially with that smirk.

That "smirk" indicates self confidence and a willingness to "lean in" to the American old white republican male patriarchy.

In Graham’s case, Covid.
