>Unpopular opinion here, I suspect, but I'm happy to see COVID vaccination mandates getting rolled back. They made sense last year when we all thought they would have a meaningful impact on transmission, but Omicron has made it pretty clear that they don't. I've heard it theorized that vaccination makes Omicron spread faster, because being vaccinated reduces symptoms while not reducing the viral load, making it more likely for someone to unknowingly infect others.
