Former President Barack Obama tweeted on Sunday that he had tested positive for COVID.
Recently, my COVID test was positive. I’ve had a scratchy throat for a couple days, but am feeling fine otherwise. Michelle and myself are thankful to Michelle for being vaccinated, and that she was boosted. Michelle has also tested positive.
It’s a reminder to get vaccinated if you haven’t already, even as cases go down.

“I just tested positive for COVID. I’ve had a scratchy throat for a couple days, but am feeling fine otherwise,” Obama tweeted. “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.”
According to a ‘source’, CNN says he appears to have caught it in Washington, D.C., after spending most of the winter in Hawaii.
But if you check out his Facebook announcement, there’s a small problem in that one. He says that people should get vaccinated and boosted “to help prevent more serious symptoms and giving COVID to others.”

You can spread the virus even if you are vaccinated — and you can still get it, even if you are vaccinated. Obama is spreading misinformation. Are there any misinformation officers to flag this post? Apparently, this misinformation is cool because it’s from Barack Obama. In 2021, this was another issue that Joe Biden had to deal with, but he has now stopped saying it.
Obama is a proponent of vaccination and masking. However, Obama did not wear masks to his birthday party in August 2021 with over 100 people.
Coincidentally, this comes right as Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla says on “Face The Nation” that a fourth shot will be necessary, because of “waning immunity.”
“Right now, the protection that you’re getting from the third [shot], it is good enough — actually quite good for hospitalizations and deaths — it’s not that good against infections, but doesn’t last very long,” he said.
Pfizer, along with other companies, are developing shots to protect against new variants.
“Omicron was the first [variant] that was able to evade, in a skillful way the immune protection that we’re given, but also in all that the duration of the protection doesn’t last very long,” Bourla told host Margaret Brennan.
“What we are trying to do and we are working very diligently right now it is to make not only a vaccine that will protect against all variants, including Omicron, but also something that can protect for at least a year.”
Um, weren’t vaccinated people getting the virus even before Omicron? What is Bourla implying here? Besides that, a fourth shot won’t last a year – so you’ll have to keep coming back to get another one?
We’re not even just talking about a fourth shot, but continuous shots. Look for the concept of “fully vaccinated” or “up-to-date vaccinated” to keep changing, I guess.
