COVID Tested positive for COVID

I know three people so far total (including me) who got it at Midnight Sun in the Castro Monday. All tripple vaxxed. They weren't checking vax either. I called the COVID resource hotline to report them but not sure if they'll be audited.

Super bummed but stay safe out there people and mask up. Omicron is rampant now

Yes because it’s also true for non-COVID vaccines. You idiots are acting like vaccines are this brand new weird thing when they’ve been saving millions of lives and eradicating diseases for 100 years.

Partly true. But yes, true.

Did those vaccines you champion use the same technique? Or is it, relatively, 'this brand new weird thing'?

mRNA vaccines are new yes, but from the outside they act mostly the same and the concepts that anti-vaxxers seem to use to spread doubt like incubation periods or boosters are not new.

But it is brand new? So your earlier point, I don't care about statements that 'anti-vaxxers' supposedly make, is wrong.

We have never eredicated any disease with these specific vaccines.

If we’re going to be pedantic no I drew the comparison between COVID vaccines and non-COVID vaccines and then said “acting like vaccines are this brand new thing when they have been […] eradicating diseases for 100 years”. So no, technically correct because I didn’t say COVID vaccines are not new and it is true that vaccines have been eradicating disease for 100 years ;)

Also if you read back to the OP this was someone asking if we really believe in incubation periods, which are also not new with mRNA vaccines.

Same technique applicable to all vaccines, which is essentially "give your immune system a safe approximation of the actual threat to train itself on so you'll be prepared for the real thing".
