Kids and schools are angry with our government that they cannot get a booster. Our health service concluded that there is not much positive effect for boostering kids under 15 years of age.

The kids really want boosters though, or they cannot go on their final-year school trips to Italy or Germany, kids are not welcome there without booster.

There could be another variant but you dont need one. Omicron can infect you while vaccinated and it can re-infect you every few weeks. Even disregarding deaths and long covid, no society can run with a huge percentage of the population getting disabled by covid over and over.

I predict another U turn by western goverments in a few weeks, once the insanity of all this becomes clear and they bring back masks and social distancing.

I don't care if I catch Omicron. I'm vaccinated and boosted and the worst I'll get is a minor case. I don't care about omicron any more than I do about the flu.

And you kept the mask as long as the mandate stood?


On one hand, good for you, on the other hand everything is so pointless... We're thaught two things in young years: do the minimum and you will be left alone, and you can do anything you want except getting caught, those are the real lessons, the curriculum is folklore. Result: there exist people more concerned about traffic tickets than they are concerned about flying out the front windshield.

Of course. I'm not the kind of asshole that makes drama for minimum wage workers forced to enforce the masks.

I'm just going to drop them the very second it's no longer mandated.

I don't care about my fellow human beings. I'm vaccinated and boosted and the worst I'll get is a few annoying funerals to attend with terrible coffee and even worse cake. I don't care about your wellbeing any more than I do about the cute puppy I just crushed under my boots.

Fixed that for you

That looks an awful lot like a personal attack, maybe you should remember the forum guidelines before you do things like this.

Looks like I've got COVID again. Luckily the CDC says you can go back to work pretty quickly after getting sick even though you're still contagious, which my employer agrees with. No idea how I keep getting sick.

Nah, I'm just holding up a mirror

Stay safe and well

Damn man, sounds like projection. Get well soon!

It's (knowingly or unknowingly) letting contagious people mix with others[1] that keeps on making new contagious people.

Anyway... interesting sub-versions of Omicron are doing the rounds.

(It looks like various studies disagree on specifics. c.f. the UK study's "This preliminary analysis suggested that vaccines are more effective against BA.2 than against BA.1." and later the Dk study's "However, this study found that the degree of protection that vaccines conferred was lower against BA.2 than BA.1." Could just be random noise/regression towards the mean.)


[1] I think early ends to lockdowns has done more to do this than overlooking, or being unaware of, various individuals breaking the rules when they still enforced. Though people are going to break the rules more once they see that others do, so it might also be an accelerating effect that the official end of precautions effectively makes a smooth gradient with.

I am sorry if I offended you, but after half a dozen of pages of posts with people saying that you don't wear facemasks for your own protection, but moreso to protect more vulnerable others, and trying to explain to you the basis of civilized conduct (compassion and caring), you keep repeating 'I'm young and healthy and vaccinated so I'm not at risk'.
Someone had to hold you a mirror of how your contempt for fellow men comes across to many others.
Don't shoot the messenger.

That's cool. Still not wearing a mask after the mandates end. Good enough for the health officials, good enough for me!

[Starver]

Except that it isn't. Apart from that, impeccable logic.

[Pwnzerfaust]

I mean, it obviously is. If the health officials are lifting it, then it must be good enough for the health officials.
