Re: 6 vax'ed yanks test positive

Think rationally about it if you can.

A vaccine is not magic and it only works to prepare your body to fight the virus AFTER you are infected. It can not do anything about the virus before it enters your body.

You might learn more by reading this article 

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid-vaccines-break-through-infection-canada-doses-1.6080206

At first glance, reports of people getting infected with COVID-19 despite being fully vaccinated can sound alarming, as if this crop of long-awaited vaccines aren't doing their job.

A Toronto hospital recently announced an outbreak involving cases among people who'd received one or both vaccine doses.

Back in May, nine cases of COVID-19 were reported in just one week among fully-vaccinated members of the New York Yankees baseball team and its staff.

And across Canada, deaths from the illness have even been reported among individuals who've had two shots, including a senior in Manitoba in May and an elderly long-term care resident in Ontario a month later.

But there are two key things to keep in mind about these "breakthrough infections." For one thing, they're rare — making up around 0.5 per cent of reported COVID-19 cases since vaccination efforts began, the latest Canadian data shows. 

And when post-vaccination infections do happen, they typically tend to be mild.

And from that article this link about Yankees testing positive back in MAY. Is that the ones you are referring to?

https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/20/health/yankees-covid-19-breakthrough-infections/index.html

So if you read it there were one player, 3 coaches and 5 team staff that tested positive BUT read further and you will find only one had any symptoms and the others would not have known they were infected if the team did not have a routine testing system.

And then there is this

'Pandemic of the unvaccinated': COVID-19 deaths up 26% over previous week in U.S.

Well done.

Not that it matters. Well, might with somebody, you never know.

The BBC has been told there have been around 100 cases on the aircraft carrier, which is part way through a world tour.

Several other warships in the fleet accompanying it are also affected.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said all crew on the deployment had received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine and the outbreak was being managed.

Just keep helping spread your message of death Sammy.   You and your bois on here, are responsible for a bundle of them over the last year and a half.   And nothing cracks me up more, than hearing a non Covid vaccinated person on their death bed, still saying the virus is a hoax.   Unbelievable….

The vaccines do not prevent infection and transmission.  They can not lead to herd immunity.

It's pretty clear at this point that many of the deaths were preventable with therapeutics.  Not used for strictly political reasons.
