Omicron vaxxing
Here is a bit of research, instead of gossip:
(this is just one reliable source - from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention)
“[The study] clearly shows that those who were unvaccinated had much higher rates of infection and death,” said Dr. Shobha Swaminathan, an associate professor and infectious diseases physician at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.
In fact, she said unvaccinated people in the study had an almost 20-times higher risk of dying from COVID-19 than the fully vaccinated.
In a third study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers looked at data from more than 70,000 people who were tested for coronavirus infection.
Three doses provided more protection against symptomatic infection, compared with two doses or being unvaccinated, the authors found.
The CDC also published additional COVID-19 data last week on its website showing that in December, unvaccinated Americans 50 to 64 years old were 44 times more likely to be hospitalized compared to those who were fully vaccinated and received a third dose.
The hospitalization risk was 49 times higher for unvaccinated people 65 and older.
