We can never KNOW precisely. I am certain that people who could answer your question are working their butts off to figure out the answer, or to at least get close.

Many vaccinated people get covid but that does not fit the narrative so, sssshhh.
Anyone who would believe the garbage coming from the government should have their head examined.

It appears to be a certainty that getting vaccinated is the socially responsible thing to do. So was wearing a mask during the pandemic peak.

Sorry to disappoint you but I have been a NY Yankee fan all of my life so your statement that everyone hates the Yankees is not true.

I think you misunderstood. We are talking about the most valuable sports franchise in the world. Or it was. Not a bunch of people who wear rat bait on their heads. I’ll be a Yankee fan until they bury or burn me up. Got it Cheesehead? Lol.

What a shame about the players who suffer. I would think people would have mercy on them and not be taking shots at them. Whatever. Hope you and everyone you are associated with stay healthy. If not let us know. We’ll pray for them or support you, no shots will be taken. Later Hater, I mean Later Gator.

Who cares anyway? I do. Villagers Lives and Opinions Matter. Swiss Head! Lol

So sorry to hear about your mom. My condolences to you and your family. I believe, however, the 610,000 people who died from Covid would differ with your statement.

It appears that you can test positive even if you have DEAD covid cells in your system. I guess this means the whole system is faulty.

Well, the 0.007% number is from the CDC. The 20% number is an extrapolation of rumor on social media. I think I'll go with the CDC.

Now, off the record and just an opinion, maybe not even one I would give professionally, I wonder if there is a problem with the test. Also, could the vaccine, which codes for the spike protein, cause enough B cell activity to turn the test positive. And then maybe some of the players had exposure just prior to vaccination. And again, a positive test is not a "case", I don't think any of these rumored cases was sick.

You think???? I've seen videos of boxes of test swabs that say either positive or negative. Think they are deciding the outcome? Do your research. This is going to be biblical.

You are right on. Why are there patents on viruses? You cannot patent something that occurs naturally in nature, therefore this was not natural. Do your research.

This is not a “rumor on social media” the positive tests were reported by every major news network. All six were also retested and confirmed positive.
Two months ago, eight members of the Yankees travel team and coaching staff, who were fully vaccinated, tested positive. One required hospitalization. In order for the 0.007% figure that you provided to truly work, the Yankees would have to have had 114,286 coaches and members of the traveling team…

You have a legitimate source that states the actual COVID-19 virus was PATENTED?????

If so, that would be quite a game changer.

The Covid vaccines are damn good and those who are refusing to get them, and those who cheer at political events in support of vaccine refusers are responsible for this mess starting up again. There is a big difference between freedom and freedumb. And the difference is killing people, again.

You need to do your research. Everything you said is backwards. The vaccinated are shedding the spike protein. Many drs. are saying blood clots are developing in the vaxxed. Yes, it is my body, my choice & I choose not to be experimented on & if you would stop listening to the msm & research you will find what is real.

I did not "provide" the 0.007% figure, the CDC did. Go argue with them

Why do they have to get the shots? Maybe they chose not to be an experiment. If it is so great, why are they bribing people who know the truth to get it? Maybe you should check what is in it, how long ago this was planned and who is becoming rich over this.

The difference has allowed the covid vaccines to be rapidly tested and approved rather than years for the other technology. Whoever quoted Scientific American is over readings and doesn't understand this and it's dangerous. The new vaccines are very safe and effective but the misinformation out there is killing people.
As far as the Yankees, I would suspect they haven't been fully vaccinated yet for who knows what reason, I would love to know why.signed Retired MD

If they are so safe, how come more people have died from it that all vaccines ever?
