The Fox was only tested after biting the Congressman so I would say the source of infection is undetermined.  Is it a hero?

Rabid red fox that bit nine on Capitol Hill caught and euthanized
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/07/rabid-red-fox-capitol-hill-caught-euthanized

Quote
In a statement to NPR, a police spokesperson said, “[We] just learned people have seen foxes before, but this recent aggressive behavior is unusual,” adding that the fox was seen around the Dirksen Senate office building, the Russell Senate office building, and the House area of the Capitol.

Health officials also found the fox’s offspring – known as kits – on Capitol Hill and are considering what to do with them.

Quote
Among the people bitten is Representative Ami Bera, a Democrat from California who reported that he was bitten by a fox on Monday evening.

He has since received seven shots, including five shots of immunoglobulin around the ankle where it bit him, one in either side of the buttocks, as well as a tetanus shot in the shoulder and a rabies shot in his arm.

Since the animal was a female, shouldn't it be called a vixen?

Or are the Dems and the media worried about the possibility of it being a wild tranny canid?
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Loved it.

...In the regular way, of course.  Not... well, you know.

Maybe a vixen who had some fixin'?

Couldn't resist.  It's the punster in me.  Not "in" me, though.  Well, you know what I mean.

Hey, HankB started it.

Me go now.
