*Unfortunately, we have some news about The Rev. Jesse Jackson and his wife and it’s not good. The bottom line is that Jesse and Jacqueline Jackson have been hospitalized in Chicago after testing positive for COVID-19, according to a statement, the NY Post reported on Saturday.

The world renown political/civil rights activist and minister, 79, contracted the virus despite being vaccinated back in January, in a publicity blitz meant to encourage black people to get the shot.

A month after his vaccination, Jackson, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease, underwent gallbladder surgery.

“There are no further updates at this time,” the statement said. “We will provide updates as they become available.”

“Anyone who has been around either of them for the last five or six days should follow the CDC guidelines.”
