Today, I'm in quarantine after testing positive for Covid. Two weeks after starting a new job. Two months after receiving the vaccine. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, despite getting all vaccinations and taking all precautions, I've tested positive for Covid. Again. FML
Today, on the first day of the first week off together with my family in six months, we’re all quarantined with positive COVID tests. By the time we’re off quarantine, I’ll be back at work. FML
Today, I would’ve been allowed to return to work after recovering from an accident two months prior. Yesterday, I had to start self-isolating after having gotten infected with Covid at one of my mandatory store trips. FML
Today, I tested positive for COVID. This wouldn’t be a big deal, except my entire family has now fallen like a stack of dominos, and despite being asymptomatic, I now have to quarantine. My work stopped doing COVID leave in November. FML
Today, I tested positive for COVID-19. I just spent 5 weeks at a job training and was supposed to go on holiday on Monday, the first since 2019. Now I can’t even go home and hug my son. FML
Today, I got my first positive Covid test. It's also the first day of a week-long vacation that included two things I'd been planning for weeks that I haven't done in years, and a trip somewhere I've been looking forward to for months. All shot to hell right before it began. FML
Today, I tested positive for COVID… again. This pandemic has been going on for so long that after 11 months, my natural immunity has apparently worn off. I'm in the next group for the vaccine. FML
Today, I jokingly said to my coworker, "God, what I wouldn't do for a week off work." I was then tested positive for COVID fifteen minutes later. FML
Today, after a year and a half of overexploitation at work without getting paid for it, I can finally have a deserved vacation. Why? I caught Covid. FML
Today, I was told I was negative for Covid, so I went to buy wine to celebrate. Two hours later, I got a call again, saying I was positive and placed under quarantine. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The vaccine keeps you from dying. And if more people would get vaccinated then the variants wouldnt be able to keep mutating. These selfish people are making it so that this pandemic never ends. Thank God this wasn't the attitude when the polio vaccine came out.

What study? A quick google search shows no studies being done, but a lot of medical experts (from all over the world) saying it doesn’t alter DNA. I can go to a website and buy anti-COVID pills that will prevent COVID, but that doesn’t make it true.

The vaccine doesn’t prevent you from getting covid, it prevents you from getting as sick as you once could of. It also depends on what vaccine you received, some of them produced are useless and should’ve never been handed out

It happens. Did you get the one shot, J&J or needed a vaccine follow up? You are slightly more protected from the virus. Stay safe and get better.

One of the polio vaccines gave humanity HIV. As for selfish people? A new study that is in the works is showing proof that the RNA covid vaccines are doing genetic damage to immune systems, in a society that is running out of antibiotics and developing super bugs.

Please don't feed the antivaxxers. (ie. they're not welcome on FML)

The polio vaccine was invented in the 1950s. HIV didn't develop until the 1980s. There is no way the polio vaccine that was invented 30 years before HIV existed gave people HIV. So already you are factually wrong within the first sentence.

Bc the vaccine doesn’t stop you from getting it….. honestly under 45 you don’t need to get it….

@Hailstorm92 - Unless there is a legitimate medical exemption granted by a registered doctor, everyone must get vaccinated regardless of age.

Not surprising, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines were found to be 95% effective. Even if everyone in the US was vaccinated potentially 15 Million people would get Covid regardless.

You test positive because you've BEEN EXPOSED. the vaccine does not prevent exposure, duh.
