It is personal. As long as people around me are vaccinated, why would they care about my health? The vaccine doesn't prevent transmitting

In case you are talking about burdening the medical system, why not apply the same rhetoric to smoking, drinking, being fat and riding motorcycles?

People absolutely do. What’s your point?

3 doses of vaccination is 60% protective against Omicron transmission. Its not 100% effective, but it's a lot higher than "doesn't".

60% seems quite high, given that the CDC director says that the vaccines cannot prevent transmission anymore, but I haven't seen any confirmed numbers for Omicron transmission so far.

Only a little high:

(effectiveness against Omicron peaks at 55% after the boosters and then declines)

Protection against severe disease remains high even with just 2 doses.

I despise smokers, fat goblins as much as antivaxxers like you. The whole argument about preventing transmission is only 2-3 months old what was the hesitation for the rest of the 1 1/2 years we have vaccines available? Cop out after cop out :)

Not antivaxer, had my jab recently. I just respect other people's choice. Science has been settled a bit too many times in the last two years so I can understand some degree of distrust

I like how I can figure out your hobbies by omissions. Have fun riding and drinking, not at the same time though ;)

Yeah, assumptions, slight of hand remarks at least you are sticking to the stereo type. Thankfully I never have to deal with people like you in a real rnd environment. surplus people.

I know, RnD departments can be very lonely places, especially these days. Anyway, was nice to have a good banter with you, friend. See you around!
