What this data shows is that protecting already vaccinated people from infection is a really bad idea.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1468347730133192708 …

Wait what you think we should get infected after vaccination so that... we are better protected against infection after vaccination? Given sufficient supply, I'll take the vaccination route.

It's cool that you made that decision for yourself in a Sisyphean effort to indefinitely delay your inevitable infection, but can your class of privileged, anxious professionals please stop taking hostage the rest of us who don't wanna make a virus the meaning of their existence

*Given sufficient supply*, why should anyone risk transmitting this to someone else when there’s a straightforward way to reduce the risk? What’s the Sisyphean effort? Nobody is storming the beaches at Normandy. There are programs for those afraid of needles, if that’s your fear?

You guys seem to think getting infected some heroic accomplishment. I guess you live a life with so little risk or accomplishment that you’ve lost all sense of what’s actually heroic? Vaccines aren’t that scary! Even most children manage it without crying.

You keep bringing this conversation back to Covid vaccines, but I don’t think the main point here is about boosters. It’s about completely moving on from Covid restrictions.

Protecting people, especially the vulnerable is the best way to move on, and again, and that's what vaccines do. It's an infectious disease, and, at a minimum, elderly and the immunocompromised aren't society's leftovers.

How did the immunocompromised protect themselves prior to March 2020? Let’s do that instead of making 99.9% or the population responsible for the health of the .1% or whatever the number is.

Is this so hard to understand that there is an *extra* and significant threat both to them and the elderly, and reducing circulation while rushing to vaccinate globally is the clear endpoint? If you want the thrill of personal risk, there are worthy causes to volunteer for.

Not great, but not as catastrophic as it could have been. Tested with 2x Pfizer, and shows, yeah, it'll cause a lot of breakthroughs. Those with vaccine *and* infection appeared much more protected: suggests boosters will work well.
