Sarah Palin may be more susceptible to getting COVID again

Sarah Palin’s statement might sound like a dramatic turnaround from her interview with People in March 2021, when she revealed that she and several of her children had fallen ill with the virus. “I strongly encourage everyone to use common sense to avoid spreading this and every other virus out there,” she told the magazine. Some evidence suggests that an unvaccinated person who previously had COVID may be twice as likely to get it again than if they were vaccinated (via the CDC). 

Palin promoted her “Gutfeld!” appearance on her Twitter account. Though she did get some supportive comments like “Still love you Sarah!” and “Sarah, where have you been? Our country NEEDS you!” many others did virtual eye-rolling at Palin’s opinion on the vaccine. One follower laughed, “You’re not getting the vaccine because you ‘believe in the science’? That’s like not eating your vegetables because you know they’re good for you.”  Another offered their two cents: “Honey, I am an old white woman. I not only have the Covid vaccine, I also have every vaccine available to someone my age. I am healthy, wealthy (enough), and I am wise. My advice to you? Stay in Alaska.”

It’s worth noting that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises that every eligible person receive the vaccine, even if they have had COVID in the past.
