And the CDC has the data, I wish they would have pushed vaccinated vs unvaccinated deaths and hospitalizations first and foremost in their daily news releases. It should have always been the lead of every Covid progress story. "500 people died of Covid yesterday, but only 4 were fully vaccinated with a booster. 450 were totally unvaccinated The rest were only partially vaccinated."

That could have saved lives. It could still save lives. It could reach vaccine hesitant people. It could also provide some perspective to boosted people on how low their risk really is. Instead, what we have is fully vaccinated and boosted people concerned over deaths and hospitalizations when the dead and hospitalized aren't them, and you have the unvaccinated idiots who think the dead and dying could be anyone regardless of vaccine status.

If you're boosted, at least for now, Covid shouldn't worry you in the least. And everyone has their own risk tolerance, so do what you feel is right for you, but the data is clear that boosted people are over this pandemic for the time being. Nothing wrong with wearing a mask, it protects others more than you, but just know that for the most part, the only others that need protection are the unvaccinated idiots.
