Hey you, yes you reading this, have you gotten your booster yet? If not, please go do so ASAP. Efficacy of the two doses with omicron is 30-40%, but it goes up to 70-80% with the booster.
If not for yourself, do it for those of us who are more vulnerable to illness.

So many people I know have adopted a mentality of “getting Covid is inevitable” which 1. no it isn’t, and 2. Covid hasn’t become some minor inconvenience yet.
I know we are all tired, but we aren’t out of the woods, and there are very serious consequences for that mentality

(Also, I understand the concern over if the booster will take you out of commission given that we don’t live in a society that allows for easily taking the needed time off to be sick.
In these cases I try to look at it as a cost benefit analysis: the amount of time off sick from the booster will be insignificant compared to the time off required if you get Covid/long Covid. )
Stay safe. It isn’t always possible to avoid all risks, but it is possible to make sure your risks are calculated. Practice risk minimization.
For example: have to take public transit? Wear a heavier duty mask than you might at the grocery store where you can distance easily.
