Don’t talk to me like I am an idiot.
certainly not my intention. apologies - for real, i apologize - if you felt targeted.
I feel I got it pretty badly.
clearly, sounded horrible. glad to hear you're starting to feel better!
And when the vaccines were first announced and for many months figures were cited left and right about 90% plus efficacy in preventing getting covid period.
newer strains of COVID, like the omicron family, have taken that 90% figure way down since the early days of the pandemic. expecting 90% is no longer realistic.
Nobody said get the vaccine and you are still guaranteed to get covid.
correct, no one has ever said that. there is no guarantee. there still are folks out there who haven't gotten it, rare as they are. what "they" have been saying, for at least a year now, is that vaccinated & boosted folks can still develop full-on covid (and they're much, much less likely to be hospitalized when compared to the unvaxxed).
In my family all of us were fully vaccinated and boosted and still got it.
the 'vid ran through my boosted and vaxxed family as well, and it suuuuuuucked. the only saving grace was that the missus and i didn't get it badly at the same time, so at least one of us was semi-functional and able to keep things afloat.
Get off your soapbox dude.
i only wanted to address your statement "It’s interesting that the vaccine didn’t prevent me from getting it". it's a false expectation with the BA.4 and BA.5 variants and their sub-variants running amok.
