Is Cory Booker Vaccinated As He Tests Positive For Covid After Elizabeth Warren?
2 min read
On Sunday, U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker said they had both tested positive for COVID-19. Both of them were experiencing mild symptoms amid a nationwide outbreak of the virus.
New Jersey Senator Cory Booker revealed recently he has tested positive for COVID-19.
New Jersey’s Democratic Senator, who is fully immune to the disease, announced on Twitter that he has diagnosed with breakthrough COVID a day earlier after experiencing only “relatively mild” symptoms.
Is Cory Booker Vaccinated?
In a tweet, Booker said that when he felt symptoms on Saturday, he was diagnosed with COVID-19. “My symptoms are relatively mild,” Booker, 52, stated. In his remarks, he confirms that he had two doses of the vaccine. And more recently, a booster dose and says that he is very glad that he received these vaccines.
“I’m certain that without them I would be doing much worse.”
As part of a follow-up tweet, he also added that he encourages everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated and boosted before linking to Vaccines.gov, where individuals can find vaccination clinics.
COVID news from Booker follows that of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who declared that she also had caught the ‘rona’ hours earlier.
As SEW wrote, “I regularly test for COVID & while I tested negative earlier this week, today I tested positive with a breakthrough case.“
Additionally, she expressed appreciation for being vaccinated. Despite mild symptoms, she is grateful for the protection from a serious illness provided by vaccinations & boosters.
However, the fact remains that even those who have been vaccinated and boosted can still contract the virus. Especially when the Omicron variant is spreading across the country at a high rate. However, as the Senators point out, they have been extremely sick if they were not vaccinated.
It’s not clear whether one thing has anything to do with another, but it is clear that coronavirus is prevalent in DC, and that it is not isolated to that area.
