ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees third base coach Phil Nevin and first base coach Reggie Willits are away from the team after positive COVID-19 tests.
New York announced the positive test for Nevin, who is fully vaccinated, about two hours before the first pitch Tuesday night at Tampa Bay. Willits’ positive test was announced after the Yankees beat the Rays 3-1.

I normally stay out of this type of stuff as arguing on the internet does no one any good but come on, he got vaccinated then got the virus? I think I'm not so much of a sucker for NOT getting the jab. What good is it if you can still catch the virus?

Yeah, bolding is mine. Come on, this dude got the jab in Spring Training so how the hell is he getting the 'Rona? Seems to me that it reinforces my belief that the vaccines are worthless and quite possibly damaging, but that's a story for another day down the road.

The jab reduces your getting a serious case of covid by ninety five percent. It does not stop you from getting covid, just somewhat shortens the amount of time it is being transmitted to others to maybe five days.
The only way they get that percentage is to include in it the fact that at least eighty some percent of people who get the virus do not get covid from it in the first place, something they now adopted. So from now on the flu vaccine will also probably have this change done to bring it's effectiveness against a serious flu event and tout that it is ninety five percent effective rather than the fifty percent average that they usually have been saying it has. Another words they are twisting things to make things inadequately look better. This vaccine is more of a deception than it truly protects people.

Yeah definitely right, people seem to think that antibodies just run around forever in your body looking for pathogens without considering the immense energy cost that would create. The pathogen has to bind cells first to signal the cells to initiate the antibody and cell mediated response.
I honestly have no idea what they will do for a virulent influenza pandemic. Imagine if it was influenza A, the incubation period is too quick to vaccinate like we are doing now. Plus, increased mutation rate combined with passing through birds, poultry, and livestock, it would be a nightmare.
You would almost have to quarantine specific regions, no vaccination in those areas, and then vaccinate areas surrounding those areas and hope no one got out and started to spread it everywhere.
