That's quite a lot of "research". Could you please cite the legitimate sources for these assertions? BTW, "Conspiracy Theory Weekly" is NOT a legitimate source:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Incredible irony considering your many recent posts.

Poor attempt at statistics. The 0.007% was calculated across all those who were vaccinated, not just those associated with the Yankees.

WRONG: Every vaccinated person who develops a breakthrough case must have 14,286 family members who did not get sick. Therefore, since eight Yankees became infected there must be 114,286 Yankees that did not.

RIGHT: About one out of every 14,286 vaccinated individuals will develop a symptomatic breakthrough case.

You “provided” the 0.007% figure to this discussion. I did not confirm that was the CDC’s 0.007% figure.

Assuming you “provided” the correct number from the CDC, then there appears to be a significant difference between what they are reporting and what is actually occurring…

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?

Or it makes you wonder whether these are truly cases or if you look hard enough you can find whatever you want to find. This is the reason the CDC stopped counting positive test results and now are counting hospitalizations and deaths. Even in the trials the criteria was symptomatic illness, not look-until-you-find-something positive test results.

I am sorry you are not vaccinated. I hope you are not old and more vulnerable to death from Covid-19. It is your business to be sure.

I am beginning to think that the Delta variant may be infecting some people who are vaccinated. It will be important to know if the vaccine protected them from getting a "full strength" case, WHEN THE FIGURES are run.

Will "they" find that the vaccine protected people from serious illness from the Delta Variant?

A lot of people are now having "cold" symptoms including us three. Is that the Delta Variant? We are all vaccinated.

Or a new variant yet to be identified? Neither this pandemic or the learning curve is over quite yet

Do you really think the Yankees would quarantine multi million dollar ball players if they weren’t “truly” cases?!? 10 days off with pay for no reason?!? They are more throughly tested for Covid than most humans on the planet.
And I didn’t have to “look-until-I-found-something”, it has been reported by every major news outlet in the US!

It's not the Yankees call... It's MLB who are setting the rules and pulling the strings...

Do I really think..... Yes. I have no doubt that the Yankees, Olympics, or any other organization would absolutely quarantine anyone who has a positive test. No question about it. What is in question is whether a positive test truly means a case.

And you misunderstood "look-until-you-find-domething." I wasn't referring to you personally, I was referring to the testing protocol. How many of those "cases" identified when "they are more thoroughly tested for Covid than most humans on the planet" were found in healthy people who showed no signs of infection? How many vaccinated folks walking around every day would be identified as a "case" if they had to undergo that level of testing? If you test enough then you are sure to find what you are looking for. The question should be, does a positive test indicate an infection to be concerned about or are the tests so sensitive that they are finding "cases" that aren't really cases at all?

So you’re suggesting that the testing is flawed, because the results do not coincide with the information provided by the CDC?
What should be way more concerning is that those who received the vaccine are much more likely to become infected with Covid than we have been lead to believe.

And sadly, either theory could be correct. But for now I'm more willing to believe the CDC is truthful than part of some conspiracy plot. But the final chapter is yet to be written

You are assuming that those who generate a positive test are "infected with Covid," I do not. I assume the tests have been tweaked to be extremely sensitive and are picking up "infections" where there are none.

In a world where there is no protection from the disease and people are contagious before they are symptomatic then you want to find infections before they occur. You want to err on the side of caution and quarantine people who have even a remote chance of becoming contagious rather than taking the risk that they might infect someone else. You make the test as sensitive as possible, test everyone, and then react with an abundance of caution.

The CDC has not said that if all vaccinated people were tested weekly only 0.007% of them would test positive. The CDC has reported that out of 150,000,000+ vaccinated people, only 5,500 have been hospitalized or died.

Thats NY FOR YOU
