Three injections of the COVID-19 vaccine were apparently not enough to prevent Biden administration Attorney General Merrick Garland from being infected with COVID-19.
On Tuesday afternoon the Department of Justice issued a statement informing the American people that he had been infected with the coronavirus after testing positive following antigen testing.
“He asked to be tested after learning that he may have been exposed to the virus,” the statement reads. “At the time, he is not experiencing symptoms. The Attorney General is fully vaccinated and boosted.”
“In accordance with CDC guidelines, the Attorney General will isolate at home for at least five days. He will work virtually during this period and will return to the office following a negative test for the virus. The department will conduct contact tracing in accordance with CDC protocols,” the statement continued.

Garland is the lastest prominent Democrat to be infected with COVID-19 despite receiving three injections of the COVID vaccine.
Unlike most in his position, Garland’s statement did not credit the COVID-19 vaccines for producing mild symptoms.
As Valiant News reported on March 23, Hillary Clinton, outgoing White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, and former President Barack Obama — all triple-vaxxed – caught the virus and claimed to have mild to no symptoms. They uniformly credited the vaccine for preventing harsh symptoms that require hospitalization.
All the aforementioned infected triple-vaxxed Democrats maintained that the COVID vaccines helped ease their symptoms and noted how thankful they were for the injections.
“I just tested positive for COVID. I’ve had a scratchy throat for a couple days, but am feeling fine otherwise. Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted, and she has tested negative. It’s a reminder to get vaccinated if you haven’t already, even as cases go down,” tweeted the 44th President.
“I’m more grateful than ever for the protection vaccines can provide against serious illness,” Clinton wrote in a tweet. “Please get vaccinated and boosted if you haven’t already!”
“Thanks to the vaccine, I have only experienced mild symptoms,” Psaki said. “In alignment with White House COVID-19 protocols, I will work from home and plan to return to work in person at the conclusion of a five-day isolation period and a negative test.”
“Thanks to being fully vaccinated and boosted, I have only experienced mild symptoms,” Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
