Omicron makes it so that there is no longer a pro-social purpose to taking a vaccine or booster. Vaccines do not prevent transmission of Omicron and thus do not protect anyone else.
What they do is protect *you* from serious illness.
Sure, the data will show some difference based on vaccine and boosted status.
As a practical matter, whoever isn't isolating will get Omicron. That's what my various social networks are all telling me -- and I think what most of everyone's social networks are telling them.
If you are vaccinated and boosted it will just be a cold.
I am urging people to get vaccinated and boosted for purely self-serving purposes

I know the acute sense of peril one feels when stating a range of indisputable truths because I feel it myself.
But because I see the dangers that the progressive echo chamber is generating, I feel obliged to fight through that sense of peril.
But it never comes *easily* to me as it does to certain tougher, more disagreeable, more obstreperously male figures than myself, who are happiest when embroiled in contention.
It's not about whether it's wrong or right on the merits. It's about what you are conditioned by default to believe.
Blah blah blah: Zinn-ism broadly conceived is the foundation from which all the social networks and changes in news coverage spring and the mainstreaming of that discourse _in the schools_ as part of the baseline understanding for sure tracks the marked generational decline
