I don’t believe this is clear at all. So far, it actually seems the mRNA vaccines as well as the viral vector vaccines greatly attenuate the severity of COVID among those who do catch a variant.
- rgbbtc4life 5y agoThere is only one study to estimate the effectiveness of the mrna vaccines. It was quite small, and performed only on those who received pristine mrna injections. It's come out that the mass produced vaccine has significant mrna degradation. It's unclear how many people's vaccines were even effective. Additionally you have 9 Yankees players who were fully vaccinated contracting the virus, so its not 95% effective in preventing infection and there's a very real risk of Merek's disease as a result. Furthermore, Pfizer is on record as saying a 3rd dose will be needed. Meanwhile, natural immunity has been shown to be robust and long lasting.

- truantbuick 5y agoAFAIK the only player to have tested positive for COVID in that outbreak is Gleyber Torres (the rest were support staff), who had an actual COVID infection before, which undermines your idea that getting COVID is somehow superior to getting vaccinated. And as already mentioned, the Yankees received the J&J vaccine, which is not an MRNA vaccine.
