Omicron is the unwelcome party guest at everyone’s holiday gatherings this year.
Scientists are still trying to learn about the new Covid variant — including how transmissible it is, how well current vaccines work against it and where its biggest hotspots are. Many of those answers won’t be known for at least a couple weeks, just in time for Christmas.
Without those answers, you may need to ask yourself a tough question: Is it safe to attend a holiday party?
If everyone at your party is vaccinated
If you’re vaccinated and gathering with other vaccinated people, the answer is a simple “yes,” White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said in a briefing last week. Ideally, every guest should be boosted, too.
Still, you may run some risk. A recent 120-person company holiday party in Norway provides some anecdotal evidence that omicron could evade vaccine protection: All guests were vaccinated and tested beforehand, but more than half of them — many of whom had just returned from a business trip to South Africa — tested positive for Covid afterwards, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

If anyone at your party is unvaccinated (or unwilling to share)
If anyone’s unvaccinated at your party — including small children who aren’t yet vaccine-eligible — or unwilling to share their vaccination status, your decision gets much harder. You’ll face a higher risk of getting sick or transmitting the virus to someone else, even if you’re fully vaccinated yourself.
If you’re hosting such a party, you should rely on a combination of safety strategies, like gathering outdoors, wearing masks and maintaining social distance. You can also ask your unvaccinated guests to quarantine

I always ignore Fauci and go for the party with the most interesting people and the best booze.
“Ask your unvaccinated guests to quarantine.”
Just make them all stay in the tool shed and slide leftovers under the door.
No need to read any further.
If you are inclined to listen to, and believe Fauci, here is what you should do: Take a plastic bag that fits over your head. Put your head in the bag and seal it around your neck with duct tape. Voila! No corona will get you after doing that!
Here’s how I decide:
Nobody asks about anybody’s vaccination status at any parties I host or attend. We don’t care.
Nobody wears masks at any parties I host or attend.
Nobody cares what Fauci or the TV news says at any parties I host or attend.
You can shove your vaccine mandate up your...
So now we are suppose to be fearful of a glorified cold? Fauci and the Dems can go to hell.
Which Holiday is he referring to? Ramadan? Hanukah? Dec 7th? 4th of July?
I guess since he mentioned “holiday” I have no idea what he’s talking about and will assume it’s some random “holiday” in the summer.
And I have been taking the exact opposite approach, I do NOT want to be Around ANYONE that still experiments with experimental drugs, That’s what High School and College were for.
Yes....just pizza and flounder.
Generally, if there’s a party, go.
Hopefully, you’ll catch the omicron, recover, and then be immune for far longer than anyone who’s had the “vaccine”.
The only exception is that if there’s any question of your “vaccination status”, DO NOT GO; the only people there will be scared and boring.
If I want to or not.
