if nothing else, this story should put a stake in the heart of the idea that we can achieve "Zero Covid". If testing and quarantine didn't prevent an outbreak here, it never will.

Even if all vaccines worked perfectly and forever and every single person got vaccinated - we would still see new infections, because animals also get and transmit covid. I don't think I've seen anyone with any reputation make any claim about "zero covid".
