These vaccines were supposed to be really good with breakthrough infections being exceedingly rare. Doesn't seem like that is the case....

I've only heard of a few temporary Omicron-related retail closures on Staten Island. No restaurants but I'm not totally sure about that.

Who wants to wait on line for 4 hrs + out in the cold to get tested. Not me. Great way to catch a cold or the flu much less Omicron.

Wait, are you saying you need to get tested for a domestic flight (originating and ending in the US)? Ihaven't heard anything about that. I registered my vaccination long ago with my preferred airline, and have a flight coming up (domestic), but the flight requirements page says I am all set, nothing else to do. They don't even require a booster record (which I have, but there is nowhere to enter it). Is there something about this that I don't know??

Experimental gene therapy, not a vaccine.

How many people got a polio vaccine and then got polio, and said "Gee good thing I was vaccinated, otherwise my polio would be worse"

I never thought i would have been the one hospitalized last year nor my wife yet we were .

Someone is always going to be on the wrong side of a statistic and I am not chancing it’s us again nor will I count on the fact delta is gone.

Covid was an experience I never want to go through again .

Never in a hospital in my life and covid sent me and my wife there for two weeks , non icu
So in other words, you don’t even have full confidence in this vaccine you spend all your time here defending and pushing for?

Correct.

Unlike this Covid pseudo-vaccine, no one is scared of still getting polio, measles, mumps, rubella after getting vaccinated for those diseases.

Is regular flu still on the menu or is it covid only.
Meanwhile in Florida and Texas life is great.

Seriously, soooo many people are getting infected right now! This is no joke! No one I know is dying right now from the virus, so definitely not deadly, but they are getting very sick.
I've been seeing and hearing more & more ambulances with their sirens blaring. But I don't think deaths are up. Just cases & hospitalizations. I hope all this dies down soon. It has in other countries, I think.

I never bet 100% on anything. But I do want the odds in my favor via vaccination and the booster if we do get it again .

We know many that have had it twice pre vaccine and bad

You know better than me. I thought you had to get tested regardless. If they're saying you don't have to for domestic than I'll go with what they're telling you. They ought to know.
