At this point, with a less fatal, more infectious variant, the sane choice is to go get vaccinated and live your damn life. you can control your own risk, and we should mostly stop worrying about trying to protect others who also have control over their own risk.

It isn’t true that you control your own risk; vaccine effectiveness is a ratio so if unvaccinated people are out there keeping infection rates high then they are still increasing the chance of every bad outcome for vaccinated people

Seems like there’s goal post movement in the discourse on this (not necessarily you specifically) that has moved the fatality baseline to delta, when it seems that omicron is still more lethal than the OG variant, along with costs of getting sick even without literal death
