As far as a lot of people are concerned, the COVID-19 threat is pretty much over, however, Guilford County Sheriff Danny Rogers discovered the hard way that that’s not true.
The county’s highest-ranking law enforcement officer, who’s currently running again to hold that job, has come down with the disease.
On Thursday, April 28, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Department sent out a press release announcing the development. The department reported that, earlier in the day, Rogers tested positive for COVID-19.
He’s now experiencing symptoms including “headache, cough, congestion, body soreness and dizziness.”
The press release also notes that, previously to testing positive, Rogers had been vaccinated and had also received a booster shot.
In addition, it noted that, in order to avoid exposing others, Rogers will be under quarantine and will be following all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.
When the coronavirus pandemic first hit in 2020, Guilford County took a great deal of effort to see that county employees who couldn’t stay home – such as first responders like Sheriff’s deputies – had the gear they needed for protection.
The Sheriff’s Department also took major precautions to stop the spread of the virus in the jail among detention officers and inmates.
However, infections are unavoidable in a pandemic, and, in December of 2020, Guilford County Sheriff’s Department Master Corp. Deputy Sheriff Norman Daye passed away after being treated for coronavirus.
Now the disease has hit the top level of the department.
Rogers will return to the office only when his symptoms are resolved.
According to the press release, “As a safety precaution, the Sheriff’s Office has made its best effort to identify and notify those persons who had recent close contacts with Sheriff Rogers of their potential exposure to COVID-19. Anyone who had close contact with the Sheriff during the past week is encouraged to monitor themselves for COVID-related symptoms and to seek medical care if appropriate.”
But…. but…. he’s “vaccinated”- right? And he’s got his booster too (that’s the second dose of the shot) – right?
Now he is suffering worse symptoms than I got when I caught the Chinese Disease, and I’m nearly 60 and overweight (a tad). How can that be, when I never even submitted to be injected with the “vaccine”?
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Doctor “I am Science” Fauci, and Director of the CDC Rochelle Walensky all assured us that the vaccine would protect us from Covid. At least, they did to begin with. That was just their first lie.
This isn’t the place for a comprehensive account of the propaganda we have all been subjected to, but let me just mention a couple of basics.
* The “vaccine” is not a vaccine. That’s why the CDC had to alter their definition of the term.
* The drug companies who manufacture the Clot Shot have been granted complete legal immunity from any and all legal liability (including protection from incompetence and even malfeasance).
* The Clot Shot is clearly not effective, nor is it even safe. Fit young athletes all over Europe are collapsing during competition with acute cardiac issues (you won’t see it on CNN)., and what they initially tried to pass off as “breakthrough cases” are now endemic. This includes the Sheriff of Guilford County, and many of my friends both in the US and the UK.
Furthermore, these chemical cocktails are causing huge damage to the natural immune system, which is compounded with each additional “booster”. This assertion is as yet unprovable, but will become clear and undeniable in the coming years. I would not presume to proffer medical advice to individuals, but as I begged my mother, please conduct your own research on these chemical cocktails before submitting to additional doses. And reach your own conclusions…. for your own body. My 79 year old mother cancelled her “booster” appointment after reading further.
And one more thing. If this administration’s new “Ministry of Truth” ever gets real teeth, you will never be able to read sentiments like this. It will be “disinformation” – and I will be “disappeared”.
Dare to think for yourself, while you still can.
Still spreading the misinformation. Stamina for the nutters is impressive. Must come from walking door to door as a salesman. Probably explains how you learned to be so comfortable spreading misinformation.
Even with Vaccine it has been well known that the variants can still be transmitted. This is not a ‘got ya’ you nutters think it is.
Vaccine has been proven reduce chance of hospitalization by 90%!
No side effects have been shown directly related to the vaccine after BILLIONS of jabs!
The Vaccine is safe and important to have, especially if over 50. (Since Nutters think the vaccine is so dangerous…..Where are all the bodies Nutters? Where are all the spikes in illness from the virus?) Doesn’t exist.
Go sell your garbage at someone else’s door Austin.
It must be an interesting little World you live in.
And get stuffed.
Wow that seems a bit harsh and a rather personal attack! It’s obvious that if someone has a differing opinion than yours Chris, then a “nutter” they become. Just because people choose to not take a shot (which is still in experimental phase) doesn’t mean they’re stupid or careless or any other derogatory term you use; it simply means we make choices and last I checked we are still able to do that. People usually get angry and make personal attacks when they feel like they’ve been defeated. It’s okay to have differing opinions no need for the malicious attacks on someone’s work. Hey, at least he’s working and supporting his family and not depending on government handouts. Kudos to you Austin thanks for pulling your fair share! Chris, maybe step back and take a deep breath it will all be okay.
Thanks, Nom de Plume.
You’re right that I pull my weight, having raised a family as a one income household (my wife home schooled our boys), and having paid a small fortune in taxes to DC and Raleigh over the years, the last 30 years as a small business owner (who still knocks on doors!).
And I’ve never received a penny from government in my life, either in Pounds Sterling or US Dollars.
Her Majesty’s Government, The US Federal Government, and the State of North Carolina have all done very well from my work.
People who believe talking heads with no real expertise over the entire scientific community are indeed nutters. Prove me wrong. I debunked all of Austin’s wild claims with real facts from real sources that have real expertise.
FYI, I am attacked on most posts so gave up trying to be nice. Not here to make friends. Just present a counter view so this great source of local news doesn’t become an echo chamber for modern conservatives misinformation and bigoted points of view.
But thanks for your concern.
You have debunked nothing.
Making an assertion does not make it true.
And you’re still a disagreeable odious little creep. That much is indisputable.
Okay, let’s have some fun with this, but before I do, let me say that if Rogers does have Covid I wish him a speedy recovery as I would and do anyone who gets the virus. I strongly suggest those that feel led to, get your vaccine and booster. I did at my doctor’s suggestion, not anyone else’s. I trust my doctor and my doctor was part of the study for the vaccine. I don’t trust the opinions from Raleigh or DC. I hope Rogers is better before May 5th. I bring that date up because it is the date of the next and probably last forum with Sheriff’s candidates before the primary election. It is being held at the Civil Rights Museum. Now for the fun part. Rogers had his clock cleaned by his opponents in the estimation of everyone I spoke with who was there. He had no answers for failures of his leadership in response to folks who had worked with him and knew what was going on. The most telling was his failure to respond to his former Chief Deputy who quit Rogers when he saw firsthand the incompetence demonstrated by Rogers and his leadership, that candidate being Ed Melvin. He had no response to Juan Monjaras, a line officer who worked at the Sheriffs office and also had first hand knowledge. He had no response when his lack of leadership was questioned and documented by Billy Queen and Phil Byrd who have been leaders much of their careers. He is clearly in over his head and has been. Now the question is, is this Covid or just a trip to the basement until everything blows over? It’s been done before, hasn’t it Joe. He says he will follow the virus protocol, that should get hm past the forum. What a shame.
Holding the forum at the money pit, that’s about the only way to get people in the door. BJ were you offered the money pit for any forum’s when you were in office
Hmmm, sounds like he caught a cold….
Or he’s lost his car keys again and doesn’t have a way to get to the office
BJ go home nobody cares you got your ass handed to you
Hey deez hers an idea if you don’t like BJ’s comments don’t read them. It’s called free will. Keep posting BJ, I personally enjoy them and thanks for all your years of service. After the service we have h the last couple years Guilford County could sure use you back in office.
Oh yes we do.
Deez – that’s just a STUPID remark!
Can’t hurt the department for him to be out a few days. It will be good practice for him when he is out for good.
Rogers will miss the Sheriff’s forum. Its in the Democratic playbook. Don’t show (Joe) because you dont have the ability to compete with the other candidates. Its amazing, looks like a lot of groups who supported Rogers in 2018 are supporting Mr. Phipps now. They realize now they messed up pushing no experience Rogers (6 years in Law Enforcement and was fired twice, and has 2 pending suits against him) If Guilford County wants to be better, safer, etc.. than all you Republicans be sure to get out and vote. Lets not go through another 4 years of poor leadership, County Commissioners giving away grant money to these non-profits led by there buds, school issues, and on and on.
Will the Sheriff’s Forum be televised locally? What time is it to start?
