British Star Contracts COVID-19 Post-Vaccination

British media personality Piers Morgan revealed he contracted the Delta variant of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus while attending a soccer match played in London, England, two weeks ago.

'It was an unpleasant experience, and I felt quite sick, as sick as I've felt from any illness. But I never came close to being hospitalized or dying. So, the vaccine worked. It stopped me getting seriously ill,' stated Morgan in an article published by The DailyMail on July 26, 2021.

The UK’s vaccination program is being delivered by the NHS using three types of vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNTech, Oxford/AstraZeneca, and Moderna. On July 24, 2021, the Metro reported that Morgan had received both doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine known as Vaxzevria.

On July 25, 2021, the number of new people who tested positive for COVID-19 in London was reported by the city's mayor's office as 3,926.
