(Photo by Ethan Miller\/Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTime to get back to the rigor of daily testing,\u201d the paper added.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the nation\u2019s biggest pro sports leagues claim league-wide vaccination rates of 95 percent and higher. The NHL even claims it is 10 percent vaccinated. And yet, they are still throwing players into isolation and canceling and rescheduling games because of positive test results among players and coaching staff.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>The evidence seems obvious that vaccinations do not in any way prevent people from contracting the coronavirus \u2014 or at last finding the virus present in their system resulting in asymptomatic infection.<\/p>\n<p>Testing and masks clearly have not stopped the virus if these huge leagues continue to cancel or reschedule games during outbreaks of positive tests. It should also be noted that few members of any of these leagues have fallen severely ill, much less been hospitalized with the virus.<\/p>\n<p>There has also never been any proof that large numbers of fans gathered together for games have become \u201csuper spreader events.\u201d College football has been filling stadiums for a year, now, and there have been no great outbreaks of the virus among fans.<\/p>\n<p>The <i>Times<\/i> concluded that we are \u201cat war\u201d with the coronavirus.
