STUDY: Fourth Covid Vaccine STILL doesn't Stop Omicron

Thanks any way. But since you are in such a generous mood I could use a new round over bit for my router.

Tell the Scamdemic Pimps Bagz said you can have his

I don't care what you do with it

No it doesn't. Firstly the fact that existing vaccines designed to combat earlier versions of the virus are only slightly useful at preventing the spread of Omicron in no way negates the effectiveness they've already shown against both spreading and preventing seripous illness against earlier variants nor does it negate the millions of lives that have already been saved globally.

Besides, when the COVID response strategy was being devised and the original vaccines developed no one had a crystal ball. Nations around the globe were operating on the basis of the information available to them at the time and attempting to resolve the immediate situation not trying to guess what would happen a year or 18 months down the line. Ask any military or crisis planner about prioritsation of needs man.

Secondly whilst they do indeed seem to offer little reduction in transmission rates they do continue to very significantly reduce the already low likelihood of getting seriously ill or dying of Omicron in the the immune naive (those who are both never infected and never vaccinated).

That said if you ain't already vaccinated there's probably less reason to do so now than there has ever been in the past 13 months so if you held out this long it's hard to see why you'd change your mind now. It's still not guaranteed but it's looking increasingly likely that we're going be arriving at endemicity for COVID - or approaching it - over the course of this year.

And as for 'vicious haters' whilst you yourself have generally been pretty civil and I do my level best to maintain a courteous relationship with everyone, the same can't be said for many who share your beliefs... number of times I've been called a brainwashed moron or a cultist or even been accused of supporting infanticide or promoting genocide.... ain't like the absue is a one way strret man.

This got a lot of likes. So I thought I'd update it.

The tide is turning……

After the first two shots and booster I took a pass on the fourth. Although, this is the first winter where I didn't get sick at all... no COVID, no flu, not even a cold, nothing.

Zero shots. I had omicron last January and it was the mildest cold I've had in about 10 years. Haven't been sick since.
