In one week, there were 9 cases of COVID-19 in fully vaccinated (Johnson and Johnson) members of Yankees baseball organization: 1 player, 3 coaches and 5 staff. This has led to confusion and questions about vaccine effectiveness in the general public.
This is true IF none of these folks, and asymptomatic folks like them, become long haulers. Given the percentage of people with any level of infection become long haulers, why wouldn’t we be concerned?
Katelyn -- thanks for your organizing the all the research for us. We wonder why we hear that people who have become Covid-infected and recover are still encouraged to get vaccinated? They should have developed antibodies against multiple viral epitopes. Is there data on re-infection of folks who have developed resistance against the infective virus? Is there data saying that vaccination of those people increases their resistance? / Steve & Catherine

And it looks like the reinfection rate is going to become an issue.
