Quadruple-vaxxed Vice President Kamala Harris has just announced that she has been infected with COVID-19.
Vice President Harris reportedly has no symptoms and has had no close contact with Joe Biden or his wife, Jill Biden, due to their travel schedules.
Harris’ press secretary Kristi Allen in a statement said “She has not been a close contact to the President or First Lady due to their respective recent travel schedules.” Allen added that Harris “will follow CDC guidelines and the advice of her physicians. The Vice President will return to the White House when she tests negative.”
The last time Harris was seen with Biden was on April 18 during the White House Easter Egg Roll event.
Harris, who is quadruple-vaxxed for COVID-19 but got infected anyways, received her second “booster shot” on April 1. It appears that four injections of the COVID-19 vaccines were unable to prevent the Vice President from catching the virus.
The Vice President’s run in with COVID-19 despite being quadruple-vaxxed comes as more high-profile Democrats who have also received scores of COVID-19 vaccinations between them yet also fell ill with the virus.
Experts say this is to be expected, as the COVID-19 vaccine does not prevent infections but rather lessens their symptoms.
Hillary Clinton, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, outgoing White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, former President Barack Obama, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Sen. Chris Murphy, and Sen. Ron Wyden have all caught COVID-19 in recent months and weeks.
Meanwhile, the Red Cross recently told Valiant News that they do not use blood donated by COVID-19 vaccine recipients to create convalescent plasma used in COVID-19 treatments.
The organization explained to Valiant News that a natural COVID-19 infection will generate antibodies against the coronavirus spike protein and other viral proteins, while the vaccines only produce antibodies against the spike protein.
“This is because when an individual has been infected with a virus, they produce antibodies to multiple regions of a virus,” Osment said. “If a donor has had the COVID-19 vaccine, they will generate an antibody against the spike protein but not other viral proteins, which will only occur in the event of a COVID-19 infection.”
