TRIVIUM frontman Matt Heafy has tested positive for COVID-19 after being fully vaccinated.
Heafy, who lives in Orlando, Florida with his wife and their two-year-old twin children, revealed his positive diagnosis in a social media post yesterday. The TRIVIUM singer/guitarist shared a picture of his test result and added the message: “Welp. Went from a non-vaccinated person to [my wife] Ashley (vaccinated) to the kids (unvaccinated) to me (vaccinated).
“Thankfully due to being vaccinated it merely feels like a tour cold; my dad however got sick without a vaccine and is now 12 weeks into a very terrible recovery with lung/ heart/ liver issues.
“I outta be good in a day or two. See y’all on stream tomorrow regardless!” he added, referring to his Twitch channel, where he streams nearly every weekday at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
According to the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC), large-scale clinical studies found that COVID-19 vaccination prevented most people from getting COVID-19. Research also provides growing evidence that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna) offer similar protection in real-world conditions. While these vaccines are effective, no vaccine prevents illness 100% of the time.
