*Now he has been vaccine injured,among countless others.*
While health officials have criticized Tennessee’s low vaccination rate compared to other parts of the country, it’s understandable why many in the state many distrust pharmaceutical companies behind the jabs: Last month, Johnson & Johnson, a firm that developed one of several Covid vaccines currently on the market, agreed to a $26 billion deal to fund treatment and prevention programs after the pharmaceutical giant was accused of fueled an ongoing opioid epidemic in several states, including Tennessee.
Republican Senator Graham says he has contracted Covid-19 despite vaccination
“I was just informed by the House physician I have tested positive for [Covid-19] even after being vaccinated,” Graham tweeted on Monday afternoon, adding that he started having flu-like symptoms on Saturday.
“I feel like I have a sinus infection and at present time I have mild symptoms. I will be quarantining for ten days,” he added.
Graham, 66, credited the vaccine for the relatively mild symptoms he was experiencing.
“I am very glad I was vaccinated because without vaccination I am certain I would not feel as well as I do now. My symptoms would be far worse,” he tweeted.
The South Carolina senator is the second fully vaccinated member of Congress to test positive for the virus. Representative Vernon Buchanan (R-Florida) also had to quarantine after testing positive on July 19.
