(CNN)In one week, there were nine cases of Covid-19 in fully vaccinated members of the New York Yankees organization: one player, three coaches and five team staff. The revelation has led to questions about vaccine efficacy and fears of super-strength variant strains. But experts say these cases show the vaccine is working, and testing remains a useful tool.
A Major League Baseball spokesperson confirmed to CNN Wednesday that eight of those nine cases were asymptomatic. Each of the nine were fully vaccinated -- it had been at least 14 days since their single dose of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine.
Dr. Costi Sifri, an infectious disease physician and hospital epidemiologist at the University of Virginia, told CNN that the news of the ballplayers is evidence that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine works.
"It's preventing serious infections in those staff and players with the Yankees," Sifri told CNN. "Those infections that occurred, the so-called breakthrough infections, importantly were for the most part mild to moderate infections."
No one in this group has ended up severely ill or in need of hospitalization. However, finding so many breakthrough cases in one spot does say something about testing.

And in the case of professional athletes what would have been different if they didn’t take the Jab?
And note the very key phrase, “for the most part...”. Begs the question, did the jab actually cause one or more of these infected individuals to have worse effects?
WTF are these fidiots smoking? The drug pushers never give up. They twist everything into a pretzel.
This was the other part.

The article says the vaccine “worked” because most of the infected team personnel had no symptoms, and none of them was hospitalized. There’s no way in hell the moron who wrote the article — or the quack doctor quoted in it — can know with any degree of certainty that the symptoms would have been more serious if they HADN’T been vaccinated.
The first major pro athlete to get COVID was that NBA clown who contracted it after he ran around licking microphones at a press conference in early 2020. His symptoms were mild and he wasn’t hospitalized. Using the logic presented by the dopes who peddled this silly article, that must mean that being a tall black athletic dude is the same as getting a vaccine.
Translated: They are not counting the 'breakthrough' cases which don't result in hospitalization because it exposes the flaw in PCR testing, which is tagging people as 'positive' and 'breakthrough case' when, in fact, they never had the virus.
It is a conundrum for a disgraced government which has totally botched the handling of this 'crisis', including BOTH the push to quarantine AND inoculate the 2/3 of the population almost totally unaffected by this virus.
Although some here at FR would like to label me since I am fiercely opposed to mandating wholly experimental shots on a healthy populace under a crisis of hysteria & fear (smacks of 1976, ironically), it's clear that (yes) the 'vaccines' appear to be working.
But it is also CLEAR that the government is keen to protect its backside and obfuscate key facts & data points (which history dictates that they've been doing all along. i.e. 'deaths with COVID' & alterative treatment efficacy. Look at India this week, results borne SOLELY as a result of alternative treatments). I maintain that there are long term risks/consequences of these experimental shots and that it is a dangerous extension of manipulation for those in defense of such shots to point to short term advantages...
...particularly when those advantages are to a population less affected by the virus than by the hazards of operating a motor vehicle.
That's because there was NO breakthrough case, no virus. I predict that MLB suspends testing and that negative test result requirements elsewhere will be removed in the coming weeks to further 'de-emphasize' the effects of these 'vaccines' as they continue their full court press to serve them to healthy children.
The hypocrisy is outlined better in another source here:
To those with open eyes, this story is pervasive propaganda.
Let's see who defends it...
SMH. They report that Phil Nevin was ‘vaccinated’ and tested positive, yet had a ‘bacterial/staph infection’, touting his ‘COVID bout’ as evidence that his ‘vaccine’ reduced the severity of his infection in spite of his “?”-long illness (try to identify how long he was sick) and loss of 22 pounds.
They also don’t identify “when” he got his shot (I sourced it elsewhere as Nevin stating it was ‘back in March’).
Another story adds additional details, such as his having ‘a line in his arm’ as ‘treatment’ for his infection, including the fact that he ‘still’ has a line in his arm over a month later. Curious side effect of a viral infection (SARS-CoV-2) or delayed adverse reaction to the ‘vaccine’ 2 months prior.
Note: Nevin is 50 and is not in good health (asthmatic, at a minimum).
So add “staph infection” to the list of ‘vaccine adverse events’?
SMH
Actually the better analogy would be that licking a COVID infected microphone is as effective as getting a J&J vaccine.
Actually drinking diet colas has been associated with making people fatter.
“A Major League Baseball spokesperson confirmed to CNN Wednesday that eight of those nine cases were asymptomatic.”
” “Those infections that occurred, the so-called breakthrough infections, importantly were for the most part mild to moderate infections.”
No one in this group has ended up severely ill or in need of hospitalization. However, finding so many breakthrough cases in one spot does say something about testing.”
You see? THIS is the problem.
1. asymptomatic
2. mild to moderate
3. severely ill or in need of hospitalization
Sooooooooooooooo, WHICH the hell is it, asymptomatic, mild to moderate, or severely ill or in need of hospitalization?
INFORMATION is what we NEED and don’t fully get.
Just how sick was each individual? SYMPTOMS PLEASE! Severity and how long did they last?
Science:
“Earlier estimates that 80% of infections are asymptomatic were too high and have since been revised down to between 17% and 20% of people with infections.”
80% to 20% not too far off (off by 60%). /s
More science:
” 19%, turned out to be pre-symptomatic and developed symptoms of Covid-19
“Around 49% of people initially defined as asymptomatic go on to develop symptoms.”
19% to 49% not too far off (off by 30%). /s
“Think of the vaccine as a fat person drinking diet soda.
Can you imagine how much fatter they’d be if they were drinking real soda instead ?”
NO! It proves that drinking diet soda MAKES YOU FAT!
Pretzel twisting.

The fact that the case-count went down at exactly the same time as expected with the summer season arriving is suspicious. There will be spikes again in the fall among the “vaccinated” and they will be blamed on the “unvaccinated”. Count on it.
👍🏼 👍🏼
By the same measure, since hardly anyone non-vaccinated in the shape athletes has ended up severely ill or in need of hospitalization then this is proof that the God-given immune system is works excellent without vaccination, and thus the relative mild symptoms of 9 vaccinated Covid-infected athletes is not proof that the vaccine is athletes. However, it can indicate it promotes an adverse effect on objective reasoning.
Absolutely delusional. The propaganda mills are working over time.
This is exactly why this article is nothing but propaganda.
