With all due respect MBB, your point has been debated, many times over.
I'm not sure if you miss the replies, don't take them in, or are just stirring the pot, but it has been answered.
I provided an answer previously in relation to you asking about the numbers of infections of vaccinated people are higher than anti-vaxers.
It went something along the lines of this....
Yes, more people who are vaccinated are testing positive to Covid compared to unvaccinated.
However, More people die every year from horses and cows than die from lions. Does that mean that lions are less dangerous? Or does that mean the sheer weight of numbers of horses and cows 'skew' the data.
Its all relative.
Now, same can be said with vaccinated vs unvaxed and the likelyhood of it being passed on.
You are more likely to get it from a vaccinated person than an unvaccinated person, partially because there are a whole lot less unvaccinated people that you actually can come in contact with.
Firstly, the new strain is making the vaccine less effective (not useless, just LESS effective). So even if it only stops 10% (or whatever % Omicron is) of people from getting it (compared to 70% or whatever the other strains were), it is definitely still worth getting it.
Secondly, the other benefit is what you pass on (as a vaxxed person) is slightly less severe than had you not been vaxxed as well. Which makes it worth it as well.
Finally, its less than ideal, but there is an effect that you cannot ignore.....well you seem to be trying, but you shouldn't ignore it.
Exactamundo.
Perhaps if we could see the % of fully vaxxed folks hospitalised vs unvaxxed hospitalised with C19 (Delta or Omicron) it would reveal a rather telling story (I've already heard it is heavily skewed to unvaxxed... to be hospitalised). I don't know where to find such figures ...cue the Spotted One!
