Despite being fully vaccinated, Reba McEntire and her boyfriend both tested positive for COVID-19.
McEntire, 66, revealed during a TikTok live stream that she and her boyfriend, actor Rex Linn, were diagnosed. The country singer also urged her followers to wear masks and stay home.
“I just want to say one thing: this has been a hard year, and it’s getting rougher again,” the country singer said. “You guys, please stay safe. Wear your mask. Do what you have to do. Stay home.”
She continued, “It’s not fun to get this. I did get it. Rex and I got it, and it’s not fun. You don’t feel good. We were both vaccinated, and we still got it, so stay safe, stay home, and be protected the best you can.”
She also mentioned during that live stream that coronavirus has left her plans for live shows up in the air.
“I have no idea what plans for next year are,” McEntire said. “You know, the COVID thing has really hit hard, and spikes are going everywhere right now … and it’s all over the country — this new variant.”
“We have plans right now to go back on tour in January, February, and March,” she added. “We have plans with being with Brooks & Dunn at Caesars in December — the first two weeks, almost three weeks of December — but we don’t know if that’s going to go.”
Vaccine breakthrough cases do happen and are expected. And while vaccines are not 100 percent in preventing illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they help make the illness less severe. Asymptomatic infections can also occur among the vaccinated.
Coronavirus cases have seen a resurgence in areas with low vaccinations rates. States such as Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Missouri are seeing the most significant increases in cases.

This doesnt make sense. So states with low vaccinations rates have seen a rise in numbers but people that are vaccinated are still catching it just with less severe symptoms…Even though the people’s champ/savior (smh) the CDC says vaccinated and unvaccinated may have asymptotic symptoms…Btw numbers may not lie but they can be manipulated.
It could very well be a possibility that the vaccinated got too comfortable with this FLU and that they’re the cause of the rise in numbers; Or that just like many other vaccines they’re actually injecting the FLU into you although your body instead allowing it to naturally develop antibodies against this FLU.
The propaganda is real and it’s sad how easily many of yall do little research or decision making and hand away your natural born liberties instead of doing the small everyday things to prevent – or at least stand a fighting chance against mess like this. Over a low mortality infectious disease. Vaccines wont erase an infectious disease overnight. Look at chickenpox !
