    I did write about it in my latest newsletter. Yes, likely a cluster — one-to-many transmission is most likely, I think — and, yes, should probably be sequenced to see but doesn't seem like a concern given what we know about it. https://www.theinsight.org/p/why-the-vaccine-are-a-home-run-despite …https://twitter.com/jdickerson/status/1392787704384008193 …

    Has anyone seen a good explanation for why seven members of the Yankees have tested positive for Covid even though they've been vaccinated?

        Seems like a true outlier but would be important to learn if there really was vaccinated > vaccinated transmission, were they all in the same dry sauna together…?

        Yankees seem to have gotten J&J vaccine? which was only 61-64% effective for mild/moderate disease (maybe lower for asymptomatic) in variant predominant countries (as US is now). Thankfully, J&J vax is highly effective against hospitalizations/ severe disease

        I specifically trusted @TheAtlantic for reliable covid info. Your colleague kind of screwed that up yesterday needing Twitter attention and showing his ass.

        I think what most people are concerned about is if the infection spread through vaccinated people

        No sign this was the scenario here. Since they all tested positive within a few days this would indicate they were infected via the same source

        Great newsletter. Eg: just the facts, in order isn’t always informative in the way we need it to be. And facts don't have to make sense, facts do not speak for themselves. Attended a few Beadle lectures: “Hypotheses have to make sense, but facts don’t.” https://escholarship.org/content/qt2wp3j9s8/qt2wp3j9s8.pdf?t=ncihek …

        My biggest issue is that I have a fully vaccinated parent who also has leukemia. I’m not willing to do anything that could put her at risk of a breakthrough infection, especially since she was finally able to come off her kinase inhibitor this spring.

        So as long as you know about all possible such events it's not a problem? I swear I know you must be smarter then that as what about the one's you don't know about/catch?

        Anyone find it odd that john Dickerson would classify a day when people are being bombed and killed as “exciting”
