That Time Anthony Fauci Got COVID - Again...
No it doesn't mean that COVID vaccines don't work.
Anti-vaccine influencers are having a field day since Anthony Fauci announced that he has COVID.
Of course, Anthony Fauci having COVID despite being up-to-date on his COVID vaccines, a breakthrough infection, doesn’t mean that the COVID vaccines don’t work.
That Time Anthony Fauci Got COVID - Again...
So why did he get COVID?
Maybe it’s because he hasn’t gotten the nine COVID shots that anti-vaccine influencers say we are supposed to have had by now!
Of course, it is simply because the latest updated COVID vaccine has not been released yet.
“Studies have not been yet done with some of these newer variants, but those are likely to be a little less cross-reactive.”
What to Know About COVID FLiRT Variants
So even with six shots (the recommended number of vaccines for someone who is not immunocompromised), Anthony Fauci, like the rest of us, is not completely protected against the summer surge that has been getting a lot of people sick.
“Vaccination is still effective in preventing severe COVID-19, and vaccination with up-to-date SARS-CoV-2 vaccines does produce antibodies that can recognize JN.1 and its descendants.”
COVID-19 Variant Update
But even though he got sick with COVID, unlike the many people who were unvaccinated when they got COVID, his previous vaccinations did protect him from getting severe symptoms, being hospitalized, and dying with COVID!
And his getting COVID is a great reminder to get an updated COVID vaccine as soon as it comes out!
