Democratic Rep. Lou Correa of California contracted the coronavirus before he could get a second dose of vaccine that would have boosted his immunity. (corrects link)

SANTA ANA, Calif. — A California congressman contracted the coronavirus before he could get a second dose of vaccine that would have improved his immunity.

His office said he received the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Dec. 19 and has not received the second shot that would have boosted his immunity to about 95%.

95% effective

So the 1st dose did nothing to protect him

you seem to misunderstand... The vaccines for covid-19 are not 100% even after 2 doses.

'Correa’s office said he was not in the secure room but was outside assisting Capitol Police. He was confronted later last week by a group of Donald Trump supporters, some not wearing masks, at Dulles International Airport in Virginia.' Well-wishes to Rep. Correa for his recovery

I suspect he was incubating the virus unknowingly, in the 2-3 days leading up to his first inoculation. If he tested negative in that time, it may have been because of the early stage of infection.

Maskless MAGATs at the airport five days ago screaming in his face last week could have been the way Correa contracted COVID

Those covidiots at the airport gave it to him!

Those MAGA assholes at the airport screaming in his face. They should be locked up.

I assumed he was wearing his mask at all times

The vaccine won't prevent infection, it's meant to lessen symptoms and help your body fight it.

Get better soon!

He could’ve contracted it prior to getting the 1st dose.

Shame. Shame. Shame. Irresponsible

2 points to keep in mind 1.depending on vaccine first dose confers 50-80% immunity after 1 dose. 2. We don’t know if you can still transmit with +antigen test and vaccine

Hmm, wonder if it had anything to do with the animals that accosted him in the airport, screaming in his face? Good people... 🙄😷

Awesome job on that roll out! Way to go Team Trump!

Why can’t you get two of the doses at the same time?

Flu season... So....

So fucking what!

Ahh there are so many conspiracy theory jokes bouncing around I my head right now, I can't pick one.

omg he represents my district hope hes ight or else im running for his seat just in case..

Maybe he got it when Nancy Pelosi allowed people known to be infected with Covid on the House floor just so they could vote for her as Speaker....

My grandfather got the vaccine and seeing what it's doing to him is heart wrenching. He started speaking in tongues, his eyes rolling back in his head, and floating. When we can understand what he's saying he talks about the antichrist being born and the world is doomed

Once again, I woke up with filled anxiety, anger & sadness from being sexually assaulted & repeatedly victimized for 3 years straight. All I want is justice so i can heal & move on with my life! WILL YOU PLEASE HELP ME FBI/FBIPHOENIX/THEJUSTICEDEPT INVESTIGATION?

I think by internet rules im now supposed to say it's his own fault, he should have always worn a mask, shouldn't have been near people, I hope he didn't look at anybody while he had it and spread it, and I hope he dies.

So the first dose is for what purpose exactly?

A New York Congressman came down with COVID19 after he had his 2nd dose of the vaccine, but only a few days after he received it.

Some of us can't even get ONE!

So now he’s super immune? Half immune? Immortal? How’s this work now?

Good thing he isn’t a Republican, everyone on Twitter would be wishing him death right now.
