Anti-Vax Sarah Palin Tests Positive For Something

January 24, 2022 Coronavirus, Covidiots

Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican U.S. vice presidential candidate and former Alaska governor, has tested positive for the coronavirus, as she had been set to begin a defamation trial against The New York Times on Monday. Palin’s positive test was announced by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan, who is presiding over the case. “She is of course unvaccinated,” the judge said, referring to Palin.

A reminder from last month:

Former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin swore on Sunday she would only get vaccinated against COVID-19 “over my dead body.” “Enough is enough,” the Republican firebrand said, “especially when it comes to government telling us what we have to inject in our own bodies. No.”

Palin was speaking at AmericaFest, an event in Phoenix, Arizona, held by Turning Point USA, and she was discussing vaccine mandates with organization founder Charlie Kirk. “I will not do it. I won’t do it, and they better not touch my kids, either,” she told Kirk.
