    For those who still want to argue against vaccines……..my cousin is one of my closest friends, despite the fact that he is almost Maris level conservative. Throughout the pandemic he has flatly refused the vaccine, saying that he knows and trusts his body, and that the whole pandemic was a politically ginned up conspiracy. His wife (a nurse) got the vaccine way back. Over Xmas, she came down with the Omicron variant and was mildly sick for 5 days. As soon as she recovered, my unvaccinated cousin came down with it and was sicker than a dog/bedridden for 12 full days. He is still struggling with the aftermath and his lungs continue to be affected. I (with Herculean effort) refrained from saying, “I told you so.” But if anyone wants a to argue against vaccines, fuck ‘em. The vaccine didn’t prevent my cousin’s wife from getting the virus, but it definitely made it a much less serious ordeal. Why is that so fucking hard for so many people to grasp???

    Sorry your cousin got so sick. Hope he recovers completely very soon.

    One thing you might, if you can, want to mention to him is that there are studies that show people who get vaccinated after having covid have super immunity.

    What are the chances the next variant is a mixture of deltas deadliness and ómicron level of contagiousness (did I just make up a word?)

    Be prepared :breakdance:

    stupid.

    they’ve already acknowledged it doesn’t block infection, it lowers it and protects from serious infection and decreases likelihood of hospitalization.

    What makes this even more ironic is that, because he is going to the BVIs in April, he was going to have to get vaccinated right around this time anyway (after putting it off as late as he could). So, he could have reduced or avoided the whole thing if he had just gotten the vaccine in the first place. There’s no plumbing the depths of a Conservative’s mind………
