As the fight against Omicron goes on, the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is to book your vaccine appointment
Have you had your Covid-19 booster yet? Millions of people have already received that vital extra dose of the vaccine – and with the highly infec- tious Omicron variant still spreading, now’s the time to book it in if you haven’t done so. You can do this at nhs.uk/covidvaccination; if you are in Scotland visit nhsinform.scot/covid-19-vaccine; for Wales visit gov.wales/get-your-covid-19-vaccination, and for Northern Ireland visit covid-19.hscni.net/get-vaccinated.
The booster dose is quick, easy and free for everyone. And if you haven’t already had your first or second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine it’s not too late to get those too. It’s the best way to protect you and your loved ones against Omicron.
Worried about side effects, or think you might not need it since you’ve already had Covid? If you still have questions, our experts have answered some of the most frequently asked ones here.
I’ve already had two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. Surely I’m protected already? Yes, you’ve got protection from your two doses, but the Omicron variant is spreading fast, so it’s more important than ever to get vaccinated.
A booster will strengthen your protection from serious illness and give you the best possible defence for you and your family. Boosters bring your protection against Covid-19 infections with symptoms back up to over 88 per cent, which is essential with so much Omicron around.
My medical condition makes me immunosuppressed and thus more vulnerable to infection, so where does that leave me? In certain circumstances you may be eligible to receive your booster jab sooner, and being immunosuppressed is one of those cases.

My double-vaccinated-and-boostered niece and her double-vaccinated-and-boostered husband and their two double-vaccinated kids caught the WuFlu from their double-vaccinated mother.
To call that with which they were injected a “vaccine” reveals your gullibility to misinformation.
Yes on all points.
As a kid, every kid in my neighborhood got an annual typhoid booster shot
I think I’m over due for a tetanus booster
Boosters are normal

There are a dozen+ studies that show 80-90% of covid deaths were vitamin d deficient/insufficient BEFORE vaccines existed.
First I saw was dated March 2020
This study is one of dozens — both pre and post vaccines — since the 1st I saw. A few since give some of what you outline, just not the latest.

We all know what is going on. Do you?
The scientists said that the vaccines would never be able to block all infection. They said that the vaccines would protect from serious infection. When the Delta variant hit, it was more adept at infecting its victims. Once it had infected, it reproduced faster. Because the vaccines were able to rev up the levels of the antibodies they were able to fend off serious infection.
Both Pfizer and Moderna are using the mRNA technology to quickly manufacture vaccines more able to target the Omicron Variant. The speed they can do this has never happened in history. In the mean time, we are seeing the cases in the U.S. dropping like a rock. The vaccines along with natural immunity are working.
You nieces’ family had a benefit from their infection. They got natural immunity. That immunity, coupled with the vaccine’s immunity, is what they call hybrid immunity. It is a very superior immunity to get.
Legal departments insist that ever pharma ad has the warning “ask your doctor if Choochooticus is right for you. “ that is to cya against lawsuits if the new wonder drug kills you. No such disclaimer needed for emergency vaccines with zero liability. Vaccines are the only products that do not carry any inherent liability.
Yes, but my contention is that it isn’t the makers who are liable now - they’ve been immunized by government, but the employers have no such protection, IMO, particularly for an action that government itself cannot argue authority over- i.e., mandate the vaccine on individuals.
I’ll say this. I ever get on a jury on a suit brought to an employer for damages over mandating a vaccine they’d better have bottomless pockets because I’d advocate hitting them with billions, each instance.

Historically it’s taken years, if not decades, to demonstrate that drugs in general are safe and effective.
Not months.
The scientists said that the vaccines would never be able to block all infection.
Early on, the claim was “Everyone get vaccinated, COVID goes away”.
"COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing infection, serious illness, and death. Most people who get COVID-19 are unvaccinated. However, since vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing infection, some people who are fully vaccinated will still get COVID-19. This is called a breakthrough infection. Even when people who are fully vaccinated develop symptoms of COVID-19, they tend to be less severe than in people who are unvaccinated."
I was going by that statement and remember it being said the spring of 2020 after I got vaccinated. I wanted to know if my vaccination would protect me from spreading the virus and allow me to wear a mask. I was disappointed but accepted the science.
... since vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing infection, ...
20% did not.
So I’d say “Yeah, it’s not 100% effective at preventing infection ... not even 25%”.
Israel and Vermont are both highly vaccinated, and both are highly infected.
In Wyoming, which is generally unvaccinated, the infections are concentrated in the more-vaccinated counties.
Looks to me more like the vaccines FACILITATE infection.
The mRMA vaccines have been called the most important medical development in the history of medical science. The reason is because of the unique method of delivery of the adenovirus into the cell. This RNA blueprint is like a Trojan Horse that cause the cell to create harmless protein material, set parts and whole pieces on its cell surface that triggers an immune response. This causes an immune reaction that memorizes the protein combination for latter t-cell response and elimination when the COVID virus invades the human body.
The ability to create that RNA blueprint and its outer enclosure is warp speed compared to the older methods. Researchers have been studying and working with mRNA vaccines for decades. Interest has grown in these vaccines because they can be developed in a laboratory using readily available materials. This means the process can be standardized and scaled up, making vaccine development faster than traditional methods of making vaccines. That quickness is why they were so fast to receive approval; not because they weren’t thoroughly tested, but because they work differently and can be developed faster than any other vaccine we’ve used before.
Except for one thing ... they don’t work.
They’re like a birth-control pill that doesn’t prevent pregnancies, but does lessen the severity of morning sickness.

If we saw the injured soldiers coming back from war, we would have been so horrified, we would have stopped sending our boys into the military.
We are at war with a virus. I’m sorry for those who were vaccinated and got infected. I hope they didn’t need an expensive hospitalization. I worry, if it mutates into something more lethal, we would have regretted that we didn’t do what was necessary when it was easy.
You used a poor analogy. How about seat belts?
By the way, if I include in the count the two twice-vaccinated people who brought the infection to the gathering, the breakthrough rate is 85%, not 80%.
Yep, not 100% effective at preventing infection.
What have seat belts got to do with this?
The only connection I can see is that based on the claim that the unvaccinated must be vaccinated to protect the vaccinated, is like saying “You have to wear your seat belt, or else my seat belt won’t work”.
