BREAKING: Passengers on 1st fully-vaccinated North American cruise test positive for COVID
Breaking 911 has reported that passengers on the first fully vaccinated North American cruise have tested positive for the disease.
“Today two guests sharing a stateroom onboard Celebrity Millennium tested positive for COVID-19 while conducting the required end of cruise testing. The individuals are asymptomatic and currently in isolation and being monitored by our medical team. We are conducting contact tracing, expediting testing for all close contacts and closely monitoring the situation.
Celebrity Millennium is sailing with fully vaccinated crew and guests and following comprehensive protocols that align with our destination partners and exceed CDC guidelines to protect the health and safety of our guests. All guests on Celebrity Millennium were required to show proof of vaccination as well as a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours before sailing from St. Maarten this past Saturday. This situation demonstrates that our rigorous health and safety protocols work to protect our crew, guests and the communities we visit.”
As noted before, none of the COVID vaccines prevents people from getting the disease. They just theoretically prevent you from getting sick and dying from the disease. As this case shows, vaccinated people are still a threat to unvaccinated people—perhaps even more so as they are more likely to not know they’re infected when they have the disease. This asymptomatic transmission has been problematic for other vaccines, most notably the pertussis vaccine.
And we are seeing increased rates of heart inflammation in people who have received two shots of the mRNA vaccines. But you should totally get the vaccine anyway. If you aren’t convinced, here are some donuts or weed.
