(10,499 posts)Wifey vaxxed and boosted. Son is fully vaxxed and had an appointment for a booster as it just came available for him (he's 12). Wife works in hospital lab. Wears all the appropriate PPE, including N95 masks (with a surgical mask too, to extend the life of the N95 apparently). Half her lab also caught the 'rona and the lab with one exception is fully vaxxed and boosted (exception is fully vaxxed but won't get boosted as both shots did a complete number on them that their doctor actually advised against shot #2 - but that's another story).
How did the Omicron variant affect these folks? My son's symptoms were like a short flu. So in his case you could argue it's like a bad cold. Mild fever for a day, stuffy nose, headaches, tired. My wife was like a flu - fever for three days, real stuffy nose, headaches and very tired. Wife's coworkers symptoms were similar for the most part but one got pneumonia.
Did the vaccines work? My answer would be yes. None were admitted to the hospital as a customer. My gut feeling is if my wife wasn't vaccinated at all she'd likely have been in the ICU, and possibly dead. But then what do I know - I'm a delivery boy not a doctor.
