Let's set the conservative death cult aside for a moment & just think about left, center-left, & moderate discourse on COVID. There seems to be a dichotomy where some are arguing the pandemic is over & others are effectively undermining vaccines. Both of these views are wrong.
The pandemic is not over. We still need targeted mitigation strategies to protect vulnerable people + unvaccinated kids. Kids should absolutely be wearing masks in schools, for example. Further, we need to work to protect the hospital system.
On the other side of things, I'm seeing some undermining of vaccine efficacy. All the data we have indicate vaccines are highly effective at preventing disease & death. Boosted vaccinated people are, in general, doing very well against COVID.
Data from the Delta period indicate vaccination helps stop the spread, even if someone experiences a breakthrough infection.
Data showed high vaxx'd counties experience fewer breakthroughs.
Preliminary data from Omicron indicate the same, though the info is not complete.

We're not "back to normal." We need to continue to take measures to protect the vulnerable. We're also not in March, 2020. If you are boosted, you likely have good immunity right now. You could still get sick, but your body is equipped to fight it. Follow guidelines + be safe.
