The Queen of England has tested positive for COVID-19.
Buckingham Palace announced on Sunday that the 95-year-old Queen Elizabeth II was experiencing “mild cold-like symptoms.”
Queen Elizabeth tested positive for the virus despite the fact that she received the “vaccine” in early 2021, and is up to date with the boosters as well.
Many members of the royal family tested positive for the virus earlier this month, including her son Charles, and her daughter-in-law Camilla.
Queen Elizabeth is said to be on “light duty” in the meantime.
While some are using this news to push vaccines, others point out that Elizabeth coming down with COVID despite being vaccinated is proof enough that the mandates need to end.

The AP Europe has more details:
Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and a fixture in the life of the nation, the queen reached the milestone of 70 years on the throne on Feb. 6, the anniversary of the 1952 death of her father, King George VI. She will turn 96 on April 21.
The palace said the queen, who has been fully vaccinated and had a booster shot, would continue with “light” duties at Windsor Castle over the coming week.
“She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines,” the palace said in a statement.
People in the U.K. who test positive for COVID-19 are now required to self-isolate for at least five days, although the British government says it plans to lift that requirement for England this week.
Some pro-vaccine individuals are using this news as proof of vaccine effectiveness…
Queen Elizabeth II is 95 and experiencing only “mild symptoms” after testing positive for COVID. If that’s not a ringing endorsement for the effectiveness of vaccines, I don’t know what is.

Others point out the fact that the Queen coming down with the virus only proves the vaccines don’t work, and that it’s time to end all the mandates.
After all, if someone as secluded and protected as the Queen of England can get COVID, it’s probably time to move on:
Imagine all the protocols in place to keep someone like Queen Elizabeth from getting Covid, but she got it anyway. And yet, people still think cloth masks are going to stop a virus.

You think they'll administer Queen Elizabeth Ivermectin now that she caught Covid, (I DO) âś”

Queen Elizabeth II has COVID.
She is 95.
She is vaccinated.
She says it's a mild cold and is still working.
Time to lift all mandates.— Natalie F Danelishen (@Chesschick01) February 20, 2022
