> we now know that there was minimal to zero medical benefit to me getting this vaccine Actually the opposite is true. Data from other countries shows that during the delta wave you had 2-3 times less change to catch it. Both risks very relatively low but yours was still better. Now with omicron wave that has clear advantage to escape previous immune response, you still have similar advantage but convalescents without vaccination have much higher change to catch it than before. You are now dodging real bullets. > https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28170099 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28170099 You were absolutely correct there in your conclusion. I believe that people are very reactive to so called natural immunity because of misguided suggestion at the beginning of epidemic to reach the herd immunity by mass infection. We later wound out that many of those people were actually anti-vaxxers in disguise because they continue to suggest this even after we had vaccines available. But don't be mad - you now have much better immunity against omicron. I am sorry for your loss and it was shameful of your coworkers to treat you like this but you were right and you were actually much more protected than they were.
