Big question - do mink have crappy immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and we shouldn't worry or are the reinfections caused by animals being stacked so close together so once it gets going on a farm, it'll burn through (again). Now, we have never tested any of the COVID-19 vaccines in a scenario where we're fully back to normal, spending a ton of time indoors with a lot of other people - e.g., a big office full of people talking all day... I doubt this is aconcern, but worth reminding ourselves that we have limited knowledge when it comes to all of this.

This is pretty wild - >75% reinfections within a 3-month period on a large Danish mink farm: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.07.443055v1
