Despite being fully vaccinated, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has tested positive while visiting the Cop26 climate change summit in Glasgow and will now be forced to self-isolate in his hotel room.
The Mayor’s official Twitter account made the announcement this afternoon.
Mayor Garcetti tested positive for COVID-19 earlier today.
He is feeling good and isolating in his hotel room. He is fully vaccinated.
Garcetti previously made mask mandates mandatory even outside and told businesses to refuse service to anyone not wearing a face covering.
However, he was recently photographed in close proximity with others not wearing a mask at the opening of The Academy Museum Of Motion Pictures as well as at a Los Angeles Dodgers game.
On Monday, it was revealed that White House press secretary Jen Psaki had also tested positive for COVID despite wearing two masks and being double vaccinated.
Reacting to the fact that COVID-19 vaccines don’t prevent fully vaccinated people from catching or transmitting the virus, the CDC changed its definition of ‘vaccination’ back on September 1st.
Up until that date, the CDC described “vaccination” as “The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.”
That was subsequently changed to, “The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.”
Put simply, years of understanding that a vaccine was supposed to provide “immunity” was changed to “protection” after health authorities had to concede that COVID-19 vaccines don’t provide immunity.
Leaked internal emails reveal that the change was made because the CDC’s own original (accurate) definition of vaccination was “being used by some to say COVID-19 vaccines are not vaccines per CDC’s own definition.”
“Right-wing covid-19 deniers are using your ‘vaccine’ definition to argue that mRNA vaccines are not vaccines,” said another email.
Despite some media outlets claiming natural immunity doesn’t even exist, that’s precisely what offers the best protection against COVID, with one Israeli study proving it was 27 times more effective than the Pfizer vaccine.
The CDC is now investigating 180 cases of children with hepatitis of an “unknown cause,” although health experts in the UK say the cause is likely kids having weakened immune systems due to lockdown.
Five deaths have occurred in the U.S. as a result of the infections, which have swept the globe, impacting numerous countries.
“Adenovirus infection is being investigated as being the possible cause, with nearly half the kids testing positive for the pathogen,” reports CNBC. “Adenovirus is a common virus that normally causes cold or flu-like symptoms. It is not a known cause of hepatitis in otherwise healthy children.”
As we highlighted last month, health experts in the UK warned that the outbreak was likely caused by multiple COVID-19 lockdowns preventing kids from socializing with others and therefore developing strong immune systems.
Adenoviruses cause the common cold, but this can develop into hepatitis if a weakened immune system is unable to fight it off.
“I think it is likely that children mixing in kindergartens and schools have lower immunity to seasonal adenoviruses than in previous years because of restrictions,” said Professor Simon Taylor-Robinson.
“This means they could be more at risk of developing hepatitis because their immune response is weaker to the virus,” he added.
Nowhere in the mainstream reporting of this new surge in cases is it mentioned that multiple lockdowns could have caused the outbreak
Instead, the CDC is still “conducting lab tests to see if the Covid virus might also be a possible cause,” despite the fact that the children impacted in the initial cluster of cases in Alabama did not have COVID-19.
The legacy media is loathe to admit that the same lockdowns they vehemently supported will have drastic consequences for years to come.
As we previously highlighted, a new study published in the Royal Society Open Science journal found that lockdowns in the UK caused around 60,000 children to suffer clinical depression.
A major study by Johns Hopkins University concluded that global lockdowns have had a much more detrimental impact on society than they have produced any benefit, with researchers urging that they “are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument.”
Many infants are also suffering from cognitive developmental and speech disorders due to adults wearing face coverings during the pandemic.
Illustrating how the issue has largely disappeared, a new poll of Americans finds COVID to be the least of their concerns out of a list of 12 different subjects.
The survey was conducted by Pew Research between April 25-May 1.
Just 19 per cent of respondents said COVID was still a “very big problem,” while 31 per cent said it was a “small problem” and a further 12 per cent said it was “not a problem at all.”
In comparison, 70 per cent of Americans said inflation was a “very big problem,” with a further 23 per cent describing it as a “moderately big problem.”

Ten other issues, including violent crime, illegal immigration and the condition of infrastructure, all rank above COVID-19 in terms of being more of a concern.
As one commentator observed, the war in Ukraine appears nowhere on the list, although Pew chose not to include it as an option.
“Democrats are nearly four times as likely as Republicans to rate climate change as a very big problem (63% vs. 16%),” reports Pew. “Republicans, by contrast, are far more likely than Democrats to view illegal immigration as a very big problem (65% vs. 19%).”
Despite the pandemic virtually being over, numerous states are still enforcing indoor mask mandates and other COVID restrictions that refuse to die.
As we highlighted yesterday, Broadway star Patti LuPone launched an angry rant at an audience member for not wearing a mask properly during a Q&A session despite the fact that she wasn’t wearing one inside the theater.
