Three fully vaccinated US Senators tested positive for Covid-19 on Thursday.
Senators John Hickenlooper (D-CO), Angus King (I-ME) and Roger Wicker (R-MS) are all experiencing “breakthrough cases” of Covid-19.
Hickenlooper said he’s isolating per the doctor’s instructions.
“I’m grateful for the vaccine (& the scientists behind it!) for limiting my symptoms,” the Colorado Democrat said.
I’ve tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19. I feel good but will isolate per docs instructions. I’m grateful for the vaccine (& the scientists behind it!) for limiting my symptoms.
If you haven’t gotten your shot—get it today! And a booster when it’s available too!
