Sen. Johnson: No COVID-19 Vaccine Because High Levels of Antibodies
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is not getting a COVID-19 vaccine for now because he still has high levels of antibodies against the virus that causes the disease.
Johnson and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) both contracted COVID-19, which is caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, last year.
“In my case, I just recently had an antibody test and I have the same level of antibodies as the doctor who prescribed me the test who had just gotten two doses of Moderna,” Johnson told Epoch TV’s “American Thought Leaders.”
