Despite everyone's masking precautions.

Look at the NFL rosters: the vast majority are double-jabbed if not boosted and it hasn't mattered. The Seahawks had ONE positive Covid test up till last week, through 2 seasons. Now they might not be able to field a team tomorrow.

It makes the vaccines look futile, except for the whole dying alone on a ventilator part....

But since Joe is 3x vax'd, I doubt he'd have more than a stuffy nose.

I thought a booster did, at least. Maybe I'm wrong; you sound confident that it's zero. 100% non-effective.

Take your normal precautions, stay up to date on vax and wear a quality mask to keep the viral load low so u get a mild case.

They are showing not enough for the Omicron strain. N-95 recommended here in Canada if you are going to be indoors with crowds, for any length of time.

boggles my mind.

EVERYONE took their masks off, and look where we are now. Many of us here said it was a dumb idea. Smh.
