The presenter believes he may have contracted the virus while covering the G7 summit in CornwallAnd he believes he may have been infected while covering the G7 summit earlier this month.Marr revealed the illness this morning on his television show as he interviewed Professor Sir Peter Horby, of virus advisory group Nervtag.
Before speaking to the expert, he thanked Nick Robinson for taking his place on the show last week, and said: "I had a bit of Covid last week, despite being double-jabbed, and very nasty it was too."And Marr then told Sir Peter: "I hope it's not self-indulgent to ask you about me, because I got coronavirus last week.
"I’d been double jabbed earlier in the spring and felt, if not king of the world, at least almost entirely immune."What we know with the vaccines is that they are actually remarkably effective at preventing hospitalisations and deaths."So, although you were sick, you weren't hospitalised and there wasn’t any fatality, and that is probably because of the vaccination."
It's likely that Mr Marr was in the first wave of people to get the vaccination as he suffered a near-fatal stroke in 2013 at the age of just 53.is your go to destination for the best celebrity news, football news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.

Full vaccination + full corona Protocal is the only way to stop spreading this deadly virus.dont know how long scientists wll take to find out way to get rid of damn virus.
Because it doesn’t stop you getting it or spreading it - that’s why I don’t get why everyone- jabbed or not should need to quarantine after returning from amber or red countries -
He's lying
Tested positive for being another BBC tory stooge
Yes we know we can still it catch it but hopefully we won't die from it if vaccinated
And he still goes to the studio to present his show!!!
You can still get Covid after having both jabs. He’s back at work, therefore the vaccine is working. This is not news. The fact that he thinks he got it at G7 in Cornwall maybe, slightly.
But he was not seriously ill with Covid , without vaccine he would have been .
Should he not still be isolating if he tested positive last week, 2 jabs or not🤷♀️
The jab doesn't stop you catching the virus. It massively reduces the chances of you becoming seriously ill or dying from it. Who doesn't understand that by now? 🙄🙈
scaremongering shithouses
good to see the jab working well 👏👏, can’t wait to find out what’s in the fucking thing
When you have the flu jab it doesn’t stop you from getting the flu. What’s your point here?
It’s a warning.
Thankfully double jabbed and didn’t end up in hospital.
Fake vaccines.? It's a booming business nowadays in India.! 🤔🤭🤫🙄🤥
Obviously people know it doesn't stop you from getting it . .
But the fact is he won’t die from it, and won’t be hospitalised despite his underlying conditions and because the virus has difficulty reproducing in him he is less likely to pass it on.
