There's not convincing data that this is any better for vaccinated people than Delta.

They're just more likely to get it.

In neither case were vaccinated people highly likely to get hospitalized, ventilated, or die.

In no world should we be celebrating people getting sick. Omicron is resistant to previous infection. It will likely mutate into something resistant to previous infection to itself.

It's good vaccinated people aren't dying. We still shouldn't cheerlead them getting Covid.

We shouldn’t be celebrating people getting sick, we shouldn’t be obsessed about it and put our lives on hold for it either.

Just look at new cases and deaths in South Africa and compare to the previous waves. Seems pretty convincing to me.

I'm not cheer-leading vaccinated people getting it, I'm cheer-leading unvaccinated people getting it, conditional on it not being bad enough to hospitalize them.
