Perhaps the Yankees, with 8 vaccinated team members positive with COVID. One of them had even been sick with it before. However it's worth pointing out that they did not get the more effective mRNA versions.



false positives and crappy pcr tests, never meant as diagnostics


To their credit, false positives are the designed nature of PCR.


It's referenced as a diagnostic test: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/covid-19-diagnos...

What leads you to believe it is not?

As for false positives, a cluster like that seems unlikely give they had a less effective vaccine overall and in terms of protection from variants. If they are false positives, I'd bet on sample or protocol contamination, not a random clustering.
