The Number of "Rare" Breakthrough COVID Cases, Now Includes Me [View all]

Yep, first I was notified that I had been exposed to someone who was infected. So I received a test last Tuesday, and late last Friday night I was notified that I was indeed positive for COVID.

Despite being fully vaccinated, wearing masks, staying out of the air-space of others I still got infected

I've been much too angry to write anything about it until now. And I'm fairly certain I know who the unvaccinated idiot, who infected me, was.

All leading me to an anger I've rarely felt in my life. An anger I hope that I, and my babies and their babies, will never feel again.

I'm going for the antibody infusion tomorrow, so I'll likely be safe to be angry for many years yet to come.

Please stay extra safe everyone. Even if you have been as safe as I have been.
