Defense secretary Lloyd Austin gets COVID-19 a second time: He was Fully vaccinated and twice boosted
Yahoo News via Los Angeles Times ^ | 08/15/2022

Posted on 08/15/2022 1:12:16 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Monday he has tested positive for the coronavirus, is experiencing mild symptoms and will quarantine at home. It's the second time Austin has gotten COVID-19.

In a statement, Austin, 69, said he is fully vaccinated and has received two boosters. He said he'll quarantine for the next five days in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and “will retain all authorities and plan to maintain my normal work schedule virtually from home.”

Austin said his last in-person contact with President Biden was on July 29.

In January, Austin also contracted COVID after receiving a booster in October.

“Now, as in January, my doctor told me that my fully vaccinated status, including two booster shots, is why my symptoms are less severe than would otherwise be the case,” Austin said. “I will continue to consult closely with my doctor in the coming days.”

He added: "Vaccinations continue to both slow the spread of COVID-19 and to make its health effects less severe. Vaccination remains a medical requirement for our workforce, and I continue to encourage everyone to get fully vaccinated and boosted.”

Should we kick everyone out of the military who has had the clot shot?

No. Some of us do just fine without the forced jabs.

Sure he was. I doubt he ever received anything but a saline shot.

He should be kicked out since he was the one who insists that everyone in the military be vaccinated AND boosted to prevent infection.

I get very confused—I can’t tell if they were lying then, are lying now, or both!

He never got the actual shot. These a-holes all got placebos.

Hey Lloyd, the jabs were never to prevent Covid infection.
