That's a big load of nothing that has been spun by a website that drives its traffic by pandering to people who accept what they read at base value simply because it fits their narrative.. Either that or they're just dumb.


The only thing it possibly shows is that there is significant vaccine evasion happening

As of December 14th, the percentage of Omicron in the UK was 20%


So, someone who has had three doses of vaccine, the most likely strain that they COULD get would be Omicron.

Whereas the lesser or non vaccinated are vulnerable and infected by multiple different strands.

It's not showing total cases, it's just showing the odds of getting a specific variant. Obviously, if the odds are < 5% you'll get anything other than Omicron, and the odds are.. 40% that you'll get Omicron, guess which one is going to have the higher rate of infection? Whereas, if you're vulnerable to all, it'll be a more even mix of infections.

For that to make any sense, first off, you'd have to have a comparison to the percentage of being infected with other variants, which is not provided. Followed by the total number of positive tests of any variant, broken down by vax status.

When can the rest of us say, "We told you so"?

When you see folks in life who have made bad choices, do you feel "morally superior" to them (assuming they are not criminals, etc)?

I don't. But I am not going to pretend they didn't make those bad choices, either. I didn't make the choices for them. They did. So I'm not exactly sympathetic most of the time. Especially if the choice was made due to gullibility or peer pressure. We are not supposed to be sheep. And suspicion is one of the most important tools for survival.

I'm vaccinated, have had Omicron and it was no big deal. Everyone I know who is actually sick has not been vaccinated. They will be fine in a few days but I hope they enjoy being sick for Christmas.
Same boat. Omicron = crappy flu.

Glad I’ll be super immune now. Or so they say. Can’t wait to find out.

Last week, it was not as interesting (no analysis of triple vaxxed):

I would think they are more careful because they know they aren't vaxxed.
They are only emboldened when told they are "mandated" to get a shot.
They know the risk they are taking

The vaccinated think they have a protective bubble around them and aren't taking precautions.

This doesn’t make sense — then why are the vast majority of those hospitalized the unvaxed??

Do you think that you're automatically so sick when you get covid that you require hospitalization?

The people who need to hear what you're saying will not pay attention. But, thank you for saying it, anyway.
