Graham Tests Positive for COVID-19 After Getting Vaccinated

Statement from U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement. 

“I was just informed by the House physician I have tested positive for COVID-19 even after being vaccinated. 

“I started having flu-like symptoms Saturday night and went to the doctor this morning.  I feel like I have a sinus infection and at present time I have mild symptoms.  I will be quarantining for ten days. 

“I am very glad I was vaccinated because without vaccination I am certain I would not feel as well as I do now.  My symptoms would be far worse.”

Newsweek reports that Senator Lindsey Graham went on a Saturday boat outing with a group of other senators before starting to feel ill and then receiving a test that determined him to be COVID-19 positive. According to the report, Graham was aboard the boat “Almost Heaven”, owned by West Virginia’s Joe Manchin (D).
