Kamala Harris, who is fully vaccinated and boosted, has tested positive for Covid.
Former California AG Kamala Harris tested positive for Covid despite being fully vaccinated and boosted the White House announced on Tuesday. Harris was fully vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine.
“Today, Vice President Harris tested positive for COVID-19 on rapid and PCR tests,” said Press Secretary to the Vice President Kirsten Allen. “She has exhibited no symptoms, will isolate and continue to work from the Vice President’s residence. She has not been a close contact to the President or First Lady due to their respective recent travel schedules. She will follow CDC guidelines and the advice of her physicians. The Vice President will return to the White House when she tests negative.”
It’s reported that Harris has not had close contact with former vice president Joe Biden or his wife, Jill.
She is hardly the first in the elite circle within D.C. to test positive recently.
The diagnosis comes weeks after her husband tested positive. Earlier this month, more than a dozen attendees of the annual Gridiron dinner were known to have tested positive for COVID-19. Press secretary Jen Psaki tested positive in March. Attorney General Merrick Garland also tested positive, as well as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and Reps. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tested positive for COVID-19 in early April as well, though she was also asymptomatic.
Harris was last seen with Biden on April 18 for the White House’s Easter Egg Roll. Shortly after, Harris traveled to California for a series of events across the state and returned to Washington, DC, Monday evening. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines close contact as someone who was within 6 feet of someone who tested positive for COVID for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period.
“He wanted to check in and make sure she has everything she needs as she quarantines at home,” the White House said, regarding the phone call Biden made to Harris.
Harris contracting Covid raised the question of if Biden could also get it, especially since he has been traveling more frequently and attending larger events. This weekend, he plans to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as well as a funeral in Minnesota for former Vice President Walter Mondale.
“Of course, it is possible that the president, like any other American, could get COVID,” Jha said, noting Biden, too, is vaccinated and twice boosted.
It seems like their “vaccine” is working, right? That’s why they’re all testing positive for the very thing they’re vaccinated against?
