    So... let's start with the documented facts. Back in January 2021 before vaccines were widely available, the NBA admitted that multiple players have been reinfected with Covid

    Multiple NBA players test positive for COVID-19 for a second time, sources say
    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...ers-test-positive-covid-19-second-sources-say

    If the NBA was transparent with information then they would have come out with the list of players who were re-infected. But (probably due to medical privacy concerns) they did not. The only way we knew that some of the player's names was when they came out publicly as being reinfected. The reality is that there were many more than the players who stepped forward in the media.

    When neither the NBA or NFL performed genome testing or established a comprehensive Covid tesitng program including the off-season -- it's hard to state that either league has any real clue about their levels of re-infection. The level of vaccinated breakthrough infections during the season is more clear -- all the league needs to do is establish the player is fully vaccinated and then actually had a positive Covid test -- hence the numbers are higher. Especially in view that 95%+ of the players are vaccinated.

    Are you saying the sources are liars? Why don’t you contact ESPN with your bold proclamation that their sources are liars.

    They would be put on the protocol list and not play.No player as far as I know has had to miss games twice because of covid.

    Your "sources" also only said "multiple" for reinfections but state over 100 for infections

    This article is also over a year old in Jan 2021.


    Because testing was less available and there were higher rates of false positives early in the pandemic, there is some level of uncertainty as to how many players had true positive cases early in 2020, especially during the league's three-month shutdown.

    It is possible that some players who tested positive for the virus but were asymptomatic months ago were false positives. Some players have been tested for antibody levels to determine their level of immunity, but there currently isn't a leaguewide procedure in place to regularly test for those levels.
