Then take the J&J.  It’s not experimental.

That time is long gone. It doesn't work on any of the new strains plus I've had omicron. There is zero point.

Do COVID-19 vaccines protect against the variants?

 

J&J booster 85% effective against Omicron hospitalisation, South Africa says

There is quite the point.  Recovered plus vaccine immunity conveys hybrid immunity which is, in effect, almost total immunity against omicron and all other variants.  Your immunity will wane in a few months.  Mine will not.

Plus I know you’re full of shit because the same question was posed to you months ago and you had no explanation for why you wouldn’t get the J&J except “I don’t wanna!” 

I feel it was rushed and being young I didn’t feel Covid would affect me strongly. I was right and it was the equivalent of a mild cold for me. I’d love for you to point me to some studies/literature showing that taking the J&J vaccine gives permanent antibodies. It sounds very appealing.

Omicron might not protect you against the earlier variants.  Different spike patterns.

Earlier variants are basically dead.

Pretty close to it

Thank you Dr. Jason.

(1) You got pussy omicron.

(2) It’s a crap shoot.  You got lucky.  So did I.  Either of us could have been fucked up.  We’re all very lucky that I wasn’t.

Come on now.

Because I want to go where vaccinated people go. I present a vax card and I’m allowed in. It’s quite simple. 

 Morally, this is not defensible.

If they want to, absolutely. 

That's always been my stance.

People are free to make their own decisions about this.

Plenty of people have made the decision to not get vaccinated and they have ended up dying from a virus that they didn't see as a threat as a result of that decision.

On the flip side there are people like my neighbors down the street who are afraid to go outside and have watched the better part of 2 years pass them by. They’re still alive but it must get boring never venturing outside. The Price is Right hasn’t been the same since Bob Barker retired.

They have also made decisions, and like you have said, they're alive.

I have also been a shut in for around two years and will only venture outside now since I recently had COVID. lolokthatsnottrue

How could you possibly prove that? My wife seems to be having a rougher go of it than I did.

There's an abundance of data about it. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.

Correct. I wouldn't be surprised if I've already had it.

Perhaps. You’ll get it again soon though if you haven’t had omicron.
