A public health expert at Michigan State University is pleading with medical professionals to “stop calling this a pandemic of the unvaccinated” after catching the omicron variant of COVID-19 at a wedding where vaccinations were strictly enforced.

Debra Furr-Holden, 47, an epidemiologist who is the associate Dean of Public Health Integration at Michigan State University, caught COVID-19 after attending a wedding with over 100 people in Milwaukee, Wisc. She and several others caught COVID despite everyone at the wedding receiving vaccinations.

“I’ll give people a cautionary tale,” Furr-Holden said to ABC 7 News. “If a group of medical professionals and public health professionals can’t prevent spread at a social gathering, it’s just the luck of the draw for everybody.”
