Yeah, you tell 'em. What do they know with all their fancy book learning and information they get from "so-called experts" like virologists, immunologists, and epidemiologists?

It's bullshit that a vaccine lets you get infected but the infection isn't as bad. It's like getting the Polio vaccine so when you get Polio it's not as bad for you. That's not how it works.
Omicron differs enough from the original Covid to bypass the vaccine entirely. Both me and my girlfriend are vaccinated and we both got Omicron, along with so many others that were vaccinated, and that's because the original vaccine doesn't do shit vs Omicron.
So yeah, it's bullshit. They were just trying to make me feel better about the whole situation as I voiced my frustration more than once. Like I said maybe it prevented me from getting the original or Delta variant, I don't know, but I do know it didn't help my immune system battle Omicron.
Not even the annual flu vaccine does that. You can get the shot and still get the flu because you caught a different variant than they anticipated for that year. Vaccines either work or they don't, there is no in between. They're not an anti-viral pharmaceutical.
But you go on and keep thinking that I'm dumb and don't understand the purpose of vaccines or why they can fail.
