For me, covidiots are the people who keep taking booster shot 5, 7, 15, 25 and so on, and then go "yeah I got very sick but if I didn't take the vaccine, I woul

  The vaccine results are clear. You are much, much less likely to have a severe health outcome if you are vaccinated, even with omicron. The vast majority of the people hospitalized with omicron and overwhelming hospitals right now are unvaccinated people. For people vaccinated and boosted, omicron is significantly milder.

    But that posting's a pretty good example of what I mean by covidiot. peekaboo knows that noone's taken booster shot 5, let alone 25, so noone with five doses could possibly have gotten very sick and said anything at all. He's just making five doses sound ridiculous. He has no rational argument. He could have a rational opinion — a vaccine against an older disease is often given in five doses or even more, and he could have a general, well-reasoned opinion about vaccine doses. (Google for "during childhood, five doses are recommended, with a sixth given during adolescence" if you want to read about that.) AFAICT peekaboo hasn't ever suggested that the vaccine for that disease is idiotic, and he also hasn't suggested reasons why why covid should require fewer doses than that disease. He just makes stuff up, and that's a fine example of what I meant by "covidiot". (peekaboo: If you have posted any of that, perhaps elsewhere on the web, please do post links and I'll apologise.)
