Covid and Professional Sports

This morning the followed jumped out:

The Calgary Flames have had four games postponed due to multiple players and coaches testing positive.
The NFL is dealing with around 100 players having tested positive in the past three days.
The NBA is contemplating returning to daily testing as it deals with a slew of new cases sidelining players and coaches. The Chicago Bulls have had two games postponed.
What is missing from these stories is the hue and cry over vaccination status. In the NHL, every player except one is vaccinated. The NFL boasts a near 95% vaccination rate among players and close to 100% among team personnel. The NBA has a near 97% vaccination rate. All of this amply demonstrates that the vaccines are 100% safe and efficient, except when they’re not.

The author suggests that betting on Professional Sports is so financially immense that the possibility of a false positive Covid test reported in key players cannot be dismissed. Simply, the games are being fixed.
Case in point review the betting line on the Browns - Raiders game this Sunday, now that the starting QB, Baker Mayfield, will not play because of a positive Covid test, despite being asymptomatic.

And now the Colorado Avalanche will not get to play until after Christmas. Interesting point about false positives.
I know a whole family who tested positive for Covid-19 a month ago, one died, the other two had no symptoms at all. The one who died? She had received her shots in April.
