Hong Kong is highly vaccinated. About 60% have had two jabs, but many less have had a booster, about 4%. It’s good to live among the vaccinated because, even if they spread the virus, it doesn’t spread virally (pun intended) because it cannot replicate as much.
But Omicron is highly contagious. There’ll likely be break-through cases, probably among the one-jabbed whose immunity is waning. And, of course, its high contagion rates suggests that the non-vaccinated who’ve not been infected are at a higher risk of infection than they were before.
I hope you don’t catch it before you immunize yourself. If you do, let’s hope it is a mild case. Since you’ve developed no immunity either through vax or through infection, for your sake I actually hope you get a very mild case so that your immunity can be started.
One way or another, through vaccinations and natural immunity created by infection, we will get past this thing. It will be endemic rather than pandemic. Unfortunately, this will mean that those who profit politically and economically from its continued existence will do their best to keep us in panic mode. This, not phantom bullshit about vaccine effectiveness, conspiracy theories about tracking devices, long latency disease, etc., is the pandemic’s worst generalized effect. We should be getting immunized and going about our normal routines, unmasked, rather than submit to all the crap our “intelligentsia” throws our way. It’s what I do and how I deal with the current madness.
Considering the mega-million doses of mRNA vaccines which have been administered world-wide, we’d know it if there were a danger that would justify stopping their use. Israel is now on a second booster program. I’ll take the second booster as soon as it is available. |
