We're never getting rid of COVID. "Vaccine" doesn't prevent someone from carrying it and spreading it. Best hope is it becomes endemic and we collectively have a strong enough immune response to make it more like a cold or flu which is what we're seeing with Omicron. Once we accept this, maybe we can move on with our lives.
So yes and no to the argument between B1 and C1. Hospitalizations right now are still mostly from Delta - Omicron doesn't pack the punch that delta does, but they're both still making rounds. Vaccine does help with delta and probably helps with the punch from Omicron; however, because of a mutated spike protein, doesn't prevent catching and spreading omicron. The current vaccine is not the end-all, be-all solution. Nor is taking boosters of the same vaccine. It only addresses the spike protein as was seen in the first number of variants. Viruses mutate quickly and adjust - omicron is proof of this.
So yes, it's beneficial to get the vaccine - this isn't an anti-vax post or meant to start an anti-vax type of commentary. Was trying to point out that the conversation still appears to be that we're going to wipe it out. We're still freaking out about case count and vaccinated people getting it even though the majority of those cases are not actually serious. We're still heavily isolating, canceling things, and cowering in fear. Unfortunately, at the moment, it seems like policies and practices are being put in that respond to fear and are trying to quell fear - think of it like false security methods - meant to make the end user feel secure when risk mitigation is actually pretty low.
I do thing a modicum of caution is warranted, but, I think as a people, we're not on the same page with the way that we think this should go. I just think it's high time we start discussing how to move forward rather than hiding in our houses.
