there are still things we don't understand about transmission. I have been in settings where nobody was wearing masks and some of us got infected while not the others (with no difference in vaccine status), even though the disease is supposed to be highly transmissible. There seems to be a very big individual component (based on what, I don't know) that factors in whether you can get infected or not. We see that too with family members when someone gets infected at home, not all family members catch it either.

Were the people in question who were believed to be uninfected testing frequently enough that they would be aware of an asymptomatic infection?
