These things you say, are either not known, or not true.
Vaccines are absolutely useful for preventing infection. And it is not known if Omicron is mild, but all the preliminary data showing could be mild still shows it is not mild enough to not result in serious impacts on our healthcare system.
Dan, the vaccine does 0 to prevent infection. There are literally hundreds of thousands of vaccinated people walking around infected and not knowing it. They walk around like a confident lion thinking they're doing everyone a favour by being vaccinated, but end up getting others sick (vaccinated or not). At this point, almost 2/3 of cases are from vaccinated or partially vaccinated people.
The vaccine, if you can call it that, is only good at reducing the likelihood of serious illness or hospitalization. But if you actually think your vaccination status protects others -- newsflash -- it doesn't.
You are wrong, and at this point, you are explicitly spreading COVID missinformation, and I'd like a mod to step in here.
