Nope, globally we know that re-infection rarely occurs after being infected. This study shows a 60% attack rate for fully vaccinated miners, which is horrendous. The whole point of this study is that vaccination does not stop transmission of the virus. To quote the study:
In conclusion, we describe a VOC Gamma COVID-19 outbreak with a strikingly high attack rate among persons fully vaccinated with BNT162b2 vaccine.[…]Masking and social distancing —even among those fully vaccinated— may be necessary.

- chrisco255 5y agoThat's not true at all. 50% of new cases in Israel are among the vaccinated. https://americanmilitarynews.com/2021/06/nearly-50-of-israels-delta-variant-covid-patients-were-fully-vaccinated-beforehand/ https://americanmilitarynews.com/2021/06/nearly-50-of-israel...
- SubiculumCode 5y agoThe vaccinated represent nearly 2/3 of the population of Israel, moreover vaccinated people are more likely to let down their guard.

- samus 5y agoThe mine in question had 44 employees. The sample size is thus a bit small, the mine is probably not well-ventilated, and the working conditions are not good for health in general. Of course, it's bound to happen that eventually a COVID variant emerges against which a booster shot becomes required,so this might or might not hint at something greater.
