After COVID-19 announcement, xQc states that he had not taken the third dosage of vaccine yet

As mentioned before, the streamer provided his current status through his Twitter handle. He said that he has not received the third dose of the vaccine (also known as the booster vaccine in several parts of the world). It is unclear whether the 27-year-old was infected while attending TwitchCon or from somewhere else.

If it is the former, then this is a mark of incompetency on the part of the Twitch committee who were responsible for health and safety measures. Additionally, Twitch has been receiving a lot of criticism recently due to reported mismanagement caused by its staff members.

In the video posted by xQc, he announced:

"I was feeling bad so I bought this testy thing and this thing said, two lines which is positive. I got another one and again it said positive. I only got two vaccines last year and I did't get a third one because I'm lazy and then, now I am getting absolutely obliterated."

Speaking about his health and how he is currently feeling, he stated:

"Breathing is fine, I have a headache, all my muscles hurt. It feels like I'm getting attacked in the muscles."

He concluded the brief video by stating that he would provide further details tomorrow.
