Vaccinated Chris Rock Just Revealed The Most Shocking Secret About His COVID Battle

Chris Rock just revealed he contracted a breakthrough case of COVID-19 – despite being fully vaccinated!
The 56-year-old comedian took to social media to tell his followers that he had tested positive for COVID-19, and then urged them to get vaccinated if they haven’t already.
“Hey guys I just found out I have COVID, trust me you don’t want this. Get vaccinated,” he wrote on Twitter on Sunday September 19.
Although he didn’t go into any further details about his COVID battle, unlike some of the other A-listers who had contracted the virus, and hasn’t posted on Twitter since, the Grown Ups actor has been very open from the start about his faith in the vaccine. Back in May, while appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the comedian not only confirmed that he had been vaccinated, but even told everyone the type of vaccine he received himself.
“I’m vaccinated. I’m two shots Rock. That’s what they call me,” he said at the time, before joking that he used his “celebrity” status to skip the line and get vaccinated as quickly as possible.
“I got Johnson & Johnson,” he confirmed, which actually contradicts his original “two shots Rock” joke, as the Johnson & Johnson vaccine only requires one dose to be fully effective. Still, he continued to jest that he did everything he could to ensure he received the vaccine as quickly as he could.
