He'll recover, unlike his positive test for pathetic incompetence.

So after throwing hundreds or thousands of unvaccinated military members out in the street, you, a fully vaccinated and boosted Branch Covidian catches the Wuhan Flu! We need a full investigation to determine if military Covid protocol was violated and if so, you should resign!

Defense Secretary Lloyd "EEOC Token" Austin should have plenty of time alone to determine the proper layout of the transgender sleeping quarters and dining facilities. China and Russia can wait.

I will never be tested. I can't wait until this pandemic is remembered the same way the Holocaust is. And it will be.

The test for a brain came back negative, however.

A good way to get a week off, just take a test that shows just about everybody who has a cold to be positive for COVID!

The Marxist rat will have access to effective and inexpensive treatments that our benevolent government makes unavailable to the rest of us, all because Big Vaxx and their investors haven't taken enough of our money yet. Maximum America.

The trouble with Austin is he is like his predecessors in incompetence and being a communist, but he is unlike his predecessors in that he won't stab Biden in the back.

Let's hope that he gets the same non-treatment that we would get.

Must be a slow news day. I have read so many people tested positive. Bottomline, who cares?

Tell him to take another test tomorrow and he will probably be negative.

I’d have to say that’s only one of his many, many problems.

I'm not comforted by Kathleen Hicks, a pie in the sky 'policy analyst' being in charge of the Defense Department. What were they thinking??

The USS Milwuakee had to postpone its deployment to the South Atlantic because of a breakout if coviid amongst its fully vaccinated crew. So much for readiness.
BTW - the USN reported the crew was "100 % immunized". " Immunized"? A newly defined word just like vaccination.

I would bet the administration is still wondering why military personnel who have a clue are still refusing to take the jab. If they had any brains in DC, they would start connecting the dots and boot Fauci so he can start enjoying that overly generous retirement package that he is in line for. $350K is what I read recently. For all the damage he has done to Americans, both during the AIDS epidemic and the covid, he deserves NOTHING. Nothing but prison time for his experimentation techniques that rival Mengele's.

Why does anyone care that he's tested positive or negative? He should keep his medical business to himself. What happened to don't ask, don't tell?
