Actually, you were unlucky.

Also, did you end up in the hospital? Did you die?

Because by being vaxxed and boosted you greatly increased your chances of having the chance to post ill-informed comments on Hacker News post-recovery.




Omicron rarely sends people to the hospital. check that, so does all other variants of covid19; however, omicron does so at about the same levels as the flu - with or without vaccination. However, stop trying to change the narrative. the comment was that they think they didnt get covid was because they were vaccinated - the idea that we must mandate vaccines because that stops the spread. it doesnt.

No I was not unlucky. get your head out of the sand, omicron breaks through the vaccine easily.

hinting at censorship already are you, boy, you just follow the playbook dont you?

<pajama caste playbook> we need to mandate vaccinations and masks to stop the spread of covid

<data> that's not working

<understanding of how the vaccines work> this is not how the vaccines work

<non pajama caste> you are violating my cival rights

<pajama caste playbook> well it prevents severe disease. you need to be censored for misinformation. you need to be prevented from going outside so I can feel safe because vaccination prevents the spread of covid.

<pajama caste playbook> you hate science, science works by censoring those who disagree with the proposed opinion. I worship science so I am the superior caste. I am science, I am good


Who hurt you?

Listen, if you're hell bent on willfully increasing your risk of death/hospitalization, that's on you. The simple fact is being vaccinated drastically reduces the risk of that.

Does the current vaccine work as well against Omicron as it did against prior variants? No. But does it work better than literally doing nothing? Yes.

And yes, you were unlucky. The vaccines are still 70+% effective at preventing breakthrough infections based on the data we currently have.

The vaccine is not ineffective. And it reduces the severity of the infection even in the case of a breakthrough.

And as far as OP is concerned, there is a high likelihood that their boosted status did protect them from infection.


> Who hurt you?

Every time I have to show my vaccination card to be in public.

> Listen, if you're hell bent on willfully increasing your risk of death/hospitalization, that's on you.

I am vaccinated and boosted. I MAY not want to get boosted AGAIN because it was extremely painful and made me sick for more than a day. I MAY not want to go through that again while taking into account what is happening in the FUTURE with the variants. but I may not have the right to make my own decision due to mandate fanatics

> And yes, you were unlucky. The vaccines are still 70+% effective at preventing breakthrough infections based on the data we currently have.

do you even know what that means? what does it mean to be '70% effective'? How long does this effectiveness last? effective against what (covid19, delta, omicron)? Are you talking about vaccinated 1, 2, or booster? I know personally 20 people who have gotten it. 15 vaccinated 5 Unvaccinated. We have been having more than 600k cases per day since the beginning of January. I'm guessing there is A LOT of break through cases in that.

> And as far as OP is concerned, there is a high likelihood that their boosted status did protect them from infection.

If they were sitting across from me when I was feverish from omi, they would have gotten it. keep in mind, I was infected by someone who was vaccinated.
