The New York Yankees have had seven members of their traveling party test positive for COVID-19, according to manager Aaron Boone's pregame comments on Wednesday. Three of the seven positive tests came from coaches and the other four are support staff members. All seven members had previously been vaccinated, and six of the cases are considered asymptomatic in nature, Boone noted. The Yankees had previously had two coaches and one support staff member test positive for COVID-19 ahead of their series opener against the Rays in St. Petersburg on Tuesday.

Yesterday a news story said they were vaccinated on April 7th with a J&J vaccine.

Now that the CDC has decided to no longer report on breakthough cases unless they are hospitalized or die, I guess we will have to rely on news reports or word if mouth anecdotes to hear about vaccine failures.

J&J has a reported 67% efficacy.

Vaccines can lose their efficacy if they are not stored and handled correctly. I wonder if the batch from which all these players were vaccinated was somehow compromised. This seems to me a more plausible explanation than the prospect that seven healthy, fully vaccinated young men independently ended up still vulnerable to covid.

So, the vaccine isn’t really a vaccine, and people have been lied to. I find this quite shocking.

The smallpox vaccine is only 95% effective. I guess that wasn’t really a vaccine either.

But whatever it was, it was good enough to wipe smallpox off the face of the Earth. Last reported case anywhere on the planet was in 1978.

You can find cases across the globe....vaccinated people (all of the vaccines) where people a month later got Covid. The best you can say is that maybe it’s a lesser case, but this isn’t proven yet.

Would be funny to wake up in October, and they admit...the vaccination just lessens the whole impact by 30-percent.

Vaccines don’t promise you won’t get infected.

They promise you won’t go to hospital and die. Chances are roughly 1 in 1,000,000 instead of 1 in 100.

Chances are also Covid-19 vaccines offers some limited protection against other corona viruses.

Antivaxxer morons.

Suspension of disbelief is a simple concept. Ockham's razor might seem to suggest that the contracted the disease injected into them. I'm not sure why we're making hay over the anecdotal evidence suggesting that these vaccines can make a healthy person sick.

Almost every person in my workplace who received the jab had to take a day off after one of them due to illness. That suggests to me that the vaccine is introducing the biological agent into the body, as is expected with a vaccine.

The fact that people are dying from a vaccine is not a surprise. If the immune system can't handle it, death is a possibility, as it is with many pharmaceuticals we're sold on TV.

Could you provide links to a source where the chance of death is 1 in 100 when contracting COVID? Please and thank you.

Dirty little secret about the JNJ vaccine: it doesn’t make you immune. It blunts the virus when/if you get it. It makes you either asymptomatic or fee like you just have a mild case of it’s just the flu bro.

Or the jabs are as worthless as a lot of us think they are.
Some highly jabbed populations are experiencing some of the biggest surges ...

Antivaxxer morons? You didn't do your research on this vaccine experimental treatment, you are the research.

“Asymptomatic”

Must wonder if a person who got the vaccine to protect a family member gets infected and is asymptomatic, could they still pass the virus to that family member even if they are asymptomatic?

If so, it defeats the reason to get the vaccine.

Not worth taking the risk of getting the “vaccine”.
