At least 16 of 25 workers at Princess Elisabeth Polar Station in Antarctica tested positive for COVID-19 since Dec. 16.

"The researchers who are at the station currently had to undergo a PCR test in Belgium two hours before leaving for South Africa and then another PCR test five days after arriving in Cape Town, as well as ten days of quarantine," the Jerusalem Post reports.

The first positive case was a researcher who arrived at the base on Dec. 11. He and the other infected researchers were quarantined again after testing positive.

Every researcher is "fully vaccinated," by the way.

Nice Pandemic of the Vaccinated we've got here, folks!

"While it has been an inconvenience to have to quarantine certain members of the staff who caught the virus, it hasn't significantly affected our work at the station overall," project manager Joseph Cheek said.

"All residents of the station were offered the opportunity to leave on a scheduled flight on 12 January. However, they all expressed their wish to stay and continue their work."

Similar to Ant-Man's realization in Avengers: Endgame that Back to the Future is a bunch of nonsense, this is the part where you should be asking yourself about the narrative of the the vaccines, PCR tests, and 10-day quarantines!
