RIGHT: About one out of every 14,286 vaccinated individuals will develop a symptomatic breakthrough case.
The Yankee players are tested for Covid a minimum of every other day, from the beginning of Spring training until the end of the post season.
Of the millions of those vaccinated, how many are tested at that frequency level - without any symptoms?
Which should make you wonder, how many breakout cases are never diagnosed?
