Comedian Gabriel Iglesias Tests Positive for COVID-19 Despite Being Vaccinated

Comedian Gabriel Iglesias has been forced to cancel an upcoming show after testing positive for COVID-19 — despite being fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.

He announced the news via social media with a video titled, “Announcement I didn’t want to make on my bday.”

“Unfortunately, I have tested positive for COVID-19. I made sure that I got tested by two different types of tests and they both came back positive,” the comic shared Thursday on his 45th birthday.

What was his antigegn level before infection?

The “Fully Vaccinated” label is quite suspect.

That mRNA stuff is apparently quite fragile. Who knows what you really got?

Big whoop. Let me know if he actually becomes sick. They definitely shouldn’t have cancelled his gig.

I’m beginning to wonder if these so called vaccines are worthless - well not to big pharma - but worthless in preventing covid.

Fauci ought to be put in prison for his “gain of function” crap when he figured it was worth risking a pandemic to do that Dr Mengel research. How evil can you get ...and now he has the gall to go on TV and try to tell us what to do instead of hiding in shame.

“”Comedian Gabriel Iglesias Tests Positive for COVID-19 Despite Being Vaccinated””

No, it’s BECAUSE he was vaccinated.

“I’m beginning to wonder if these so called vaccines are worthless”

90% effective means you will still get some infections.

Much better than the flu vaccine at 50%.

Some say herd immunity comes when about 80% are immune.

Safety
The vaccine is infectious, which improves its effectiveness, but causes serious complications for people with impaired immune systems (for example chemotherapy and AIDS patients, and people with eczema), and is not yet considered safe for pregnant women. A woman planning on conceiving should not receive smallpox immunization. Vaccines that only contain attenuated vaccinia viruses (an attenuated virus is one in which the pathogenicity has been decreased through serial passage) have been proposed, but some researchers[who?] have questioned the possible effectiveness of such a vaccine. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “vaccination within 3 days of exposure will prevent or significantly lessen the severity of smallpox symptoms in the vast majority of people. Vaccination 4 to 7 days after exposure likely offers some protection from disease or may modify the severity of disease.” This, along with vaccinations of so-called first responders, is the current[when?] plan of action being devised by the United States Department of Homeland Security (including Federal Emergency Management Agency) in the United States.[citation needed]

Starting in early 2003, the United States government started a program to vaccinate 500,000 volunteer health care professionals throughout the country. Recipients were healthcare workers who would be first-line responders in the event of a bioterrorist attack. Many healthcare workers refused, worried about vaccine side effects, and healthcare systems refused to participate. Fewer than 40,000 actually received the vaccine.[29]

In May 2007, the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted unanimously that a new live virus vaccine produced by Acambis, ACAM2000, is both safe and effective for use in persons at high risk of exposure to smallpox virus. However, due to the high rate of serious adverse effects, the vaccine will only be made available to the CDC (a part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services) for the Strategic National Stockpile.[30]

He is one of the only modern comedians that I can tolerate. Some of his material is just comic gold.

“I’m beginning to wonder if these so called vaccines are worthless - well not to big pharma - but worthless in preventing covid.“

By their own words they do not stop infection or spread. The effectivity number is in reference to reducing symptoms. You read that right, a “vaccine” that does not stop infection or spread.
