Not for SARS-CoV-2 and especially not for the Omicron variant. It is laughably absurd.

True, but to me it makes no sense to force people who already have built immunity to a recent strain to get vaccinated against an ancient strain. Why is existing natural immunity treated like an inferior sibling of being vaccinated (or even

Agreed. At this point, I am more concerned about anti-immunity misinformation than about anti-vaccine misinformation. The media have done an EXCELLENT job, debunking anti-vaccine misinformation. I hope they will continue to do an excellent

I mean yes, the large vaccine trials got all the attention and almost limitless resources, but what have they shown? I just recovered from symptomatic Omicron after being vaccinated and there is no way to tell if the vaccine did even play a

It was pretty obvious in my case, because I was in close contact with someone who had the same symptoms and had positive RTs (and then PCR). Also this person had three RTs within 45 minutes, two positive (manufacturer A) and one negative (m

I just recovered from Omicron and I was vaccinated. I am not sure what your grandparents are going to tell me. That I should get another shot of the vaccine that did not prevent the disease?
