Vaccinated and twice boosted Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee has tested positive for COVID-19.
Inslee, 71, took to Facebook and Twitter Wednesday afternoon to announce his diagnosis and promote vaccines and booster shots against the virus.
“Today I tested positive for COVID-19,” Inslee said on social media. “I have only very mild symptoms, and I’m thankful to be vaccinated and boosted. I hope all eligible Washingtonians consider getting their booster, which is our best tool for preventing serious illness.”
Jaime Smith, the governor’s executive director of communications, provided some more information, and like Inslee, urged people to get vaccination and booster shots.
“Aside from having a slight cough, the governor is feeling well and in typical good spirits,” she said in a statement. “He is working from home and will soon receive antiviral treatments. As we’re seeing, the current COVID variants are extremely contagious and vaccinations remain the most important tool to protecting ourselves against serious illness, hospitalization and death. We hope every eligible Washingtonian takes advantage of these life-saving tools.”
About an hour later, Lt. Gov. Denny Heck announced he tested positive for COVID-19 and was experiencing “mild but unpleasant symptoms, similar to a bad head cold,” according to a statement put out by his office. more
A Grim Reaper two-fer!
The man wears the biggest black mask over his face that he can find. It seemed to grow exponentially at each Covid press conference. He’s an idiot and won’t relinquish his emergency powers.
Whatever.
I’m out of town this week and have been in 2 Ohio cities where I am not seeing blue tarp camps and crazy people roaming the streets. It’s ever more obvious WA state is a sh*thole ruined by progressive dipsh*ts.
Go get another booster Governor. Vaccine 💉 🌈 🦄
😡🤬🤯
That’s a twofer and one Heck of a note and maybe a win win for Washington state residents.
Bozo
You just keep getting those boosters, Jay, and the next time you get to say how thankful you are, it will be one… slow… word… at… a… time, muffled by your oxygen mask as you fade away in a cardiac ICU.
If they test positive for monkeypox they got some spainin to do.
“… I’m thankful to be vaccinated and boosted.”
Why? What was the point? Would you still be “thankful” if your smallpox vaccination worked like that?
What a fukkin brainwashed idiot.
Die.

Can we please stop calling it a vaccine? It clearly doesn’t prevent you from getting the disease. It is a therapeutic, simply mitigating the symptoms.
Amazed they didn’t test positive for Monkey Pox!
“He is working from home and will soon receive antiviral treatments.” What antiviral treatments? Ivermectin? Hydroxychloroquin? Z-pack? Am I wrong to point out that these treatments are scoffed at by the left and practically banned? Biden even stopped Florida’s ivermectin treatment centers. Bizarre!
