> we now know that there was minimal to zero medical benefit to me getting this vaccine

This is not true and this very study shows that. The vaccine reduces the chance that you catch COVID and spread it to others.

This doesn't appear to be the case with Omicron. It seems like everyone who has gotten it in the last couple of months has been vaccinated. At least half the people I know (almost all of which are vaccinated) have gotten it in this wave. I only knew 2 people that got it in the 1st wave before vaccines existed. I know it's more contagious now, but most people have had this same experience.

you should read what “relative risk” mean.

if of 100 people 90 are vaccinated and your hospitalization number is 6 unvaccinated and 44 vaccinated this would still mean risk is higher for unvaccinated (6/10) compared to vaccinated (44/90).

That’s also why your anecdote are useless and not science

I suggest you familiarize yourself with the latest science/data which show that relative risk of death is higher for vaccinated and unboosted than it is for unvaccinated.

Scotland (14 per 100k vs 10 per 100k): https://publichealthscotland.scot/media/11318/22-01-26-covid...

thanks for sharing i will take a look. I only looked at the latest data for USA and Canada so far and they both looked much better for vaccinated people.

Why do you think scotland and Britain are different?

He was infected before he was eligible to be vaccinated. He has natural immunity.

Where does this study show that?
