Pittsburgh Penguins star centre Sidney Crosby: Infected.

[MikePal]

Go figure..more and more of the best athletes in the world; fully vaxxed, top physical condition, eat well are becoming infected with the virus. How can that be? HaHa. ​

Despite the overwhelming majority of players being vaccinated, the Penguins roster has struggled with the coronavirus this season. Crosby and Dumoulin are the seventh and eighth players on the team to enter the league's COVID-19 protocol since training camp in September.

Defencemen Marcus Pettersson and Chad Ruhwedel went into the protocol on Monday. Forwards Jeff Carter, Jack Guentzel and Zach Aston-Reese, as well as defenceman Kris Letang, also previously tested positive for the virus.

I guess that all that can be taken away...

Carter, Guentzel, and Aston-Reese have since returned to game action. Letang returned to practice on Monday.

"I had pretty much all the symptoms. Congestion, headaches, pressure in the forehead, coughing, loss of taste and smell, body aches and pain in the lower back," Letang said. "That lasted between 4-5 days, and after that, it was getting better and better every day."

Sounds like a failure of the vaccine to prevent the transmission of the virus...but with the vaccine at least you only suffer symptoms like the seasonal flu..

What are we left with...Back to testing...it's the only way to slow transmission within the fully vaccinated....and the unvaccinated.

To be 'Verified' is to be fully 'PCR TESTED" ..anything less is meaningless.

Man, why do you get it so wrong, ALL THE TIME??

The vaccine does not create an invisible gravitational barrier that blocks the virus. If you have exposure to the virus, it will ENTER your body, irrespective of vaccination state. All that matters is HOW sick you get ... PERIOD.

Stop pushing illogical points that are meaningless, to make yourself feel better.

Crosby is also asymptomatic, which means his viral load is so low he has no symptoms and couldn't even pass on the virus to anyone else. The only reason they know is because of a PCR test which has been proven to have a lot of false positives specially with higher cycle rates over 40.

So what about all those millions of people who recovered from covid and now have natural immunity that for the most part prevents them from even getting covid far better than those with a proven faulty vaccine that needs to keep being injected because it doesn't actually prevent further infections?

Most people don't find anyone being infected a laughing matter and would not share your glee at Crosby testing positive. His case does point out however the benefit of being vaccinated AND tested. The vaccine reduces the likelihood of hospitalization and death while testing identifies those who may be infected and don't know it. Testing is not a substitute for vaccination which is why everyone entering Canada must provide a negative COVID test whether they are vaccinated or not. Belt and suspenders.

I guess you don't understand a whole lot of what is going as is evident by most of your recent posts....sad after 2 yrs you'd think you would have at least understood the basics.

There are TWO functions of these vaccines.

It is the purpose of a vaccine to prevent you from getting infected ..that’s it’s Efficacy. Secondly, it's to prevent you from getting so sick you require hospitalization. .

“ According to Miller, there is a common misconception that vaccines are always supposed to prevent someone from contracting a disease or virus, but that isn’t necessarily the immediate goal.

“A vaccine that might not be great at preventing people from getting symptoms, but might be really good at ensuring that they don’t get severely ill,” he said.

Using the AstraZeneca vaccine as an example, Miller noted it may be “modestly inferior” to mRNA vaccines in its ability to prevent people from getting any symptoms, “but it’s extraordinarily effective in making sure that even if they do get symptoms, that it’s just a mild illness.”

Now 6 months in, Pfizer admits that their Vaccines 'Efficacy'..preventing getting an infection in the first place, has diminished as low as 45% while still preventing getting seriously ill and requiring Hospitalizations. Ergo their recommendation for 'Booster'..to increase its Efficacy again to prevent infections and transmission.

All that matters is HOW sick you get ... PERIOD.

Categorically wrong...if the vaccine allows you to get 'infected' you have the ability to infect others. That is what all this social engineering and testing is doing..trying to prevent those infected with the virus being in contact with others. That matters !!

Do yourself a favour, do a little more reading and get yourself up to speed in whats' going on around you, you're embarrassing yourself.

slight correction...

"SARS-CoV-2 can spread from individuals who are symptomatic, as well as those who are asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic."

There are 2 sides to this, how sick you get and transmission, this is what you are missing.

It has been proven many times now that a vaccinated person can transmit the virus, yes the risk is lower but the risk is not gone.

Therefore vaccine passports are BS, you need to actually test, rapid testing is very very accurate, why not test people irrelevant of vaccination status, especially in places with high risk, like long term care and hospitals.

These points are not illogical.

Like I'm going to believe a government agency that is all about fear mongering. There were plenty of reports stating that transmission required long term close range exposure to an infected person with a viral load high enough to shed the virus. Instead we get don't yell or sing or hug or shake hands or touch surfaces and other bs to keep folks scared enough that they line up for experimental shots that were only approved on an emergency basis for a questionable pandemic that makes billions for big pharma with a history of very questionable practices.

All I see is a promo campaign for a booster shot and so on.
Not the least bit surprised given all the false positives from the PCR testing.
Marketing 101. Have athletes endorse the products.

Mother's home remedies have always been best to fight off a cold / flu.
Nothing new there except billions less in the pockets of Big Pharma.
Follow the money....
