1/ #UncleBob hopes those on the fence about vaccines will understand this
Weekly COVID-19 death rate via CDC:

Unvaccinated: 9.7 deaths per 100k
Fully vaccinated: 0.7 deaths per 100k
Boosted: 0.1 deaths per 100k

2/ Yes you can get omicron even if you are boosted

BUT

You are less likely to get infected
If you get infected you are much less likely to need hospitalization
If you need hospitalization, you are much less likely to need ICU care, and MUCH less likely to die

3/ Would you turn down medical care if you got sick?

I assume no - almost everyone comes to the hospital and ask for everything

Then why would you not accept a free prevention tool?

4/ If you get sick, others who do not have COVID are impacted. Surgeries are cancelled or postponed. Health care workers have to watch you die, knowing how unlikely that would be if you did get the vaccine.

5/ If you are worried about the vaccine, then ask yourself why have almost all physicians taken the vaccine. LIkely physicians know more about disease, vaccines and side effects than you do.

Please think about all these things. We would love for you to reconsider vaccination
