TL;DR: Read this.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have gotten to where I skip nearly all press coverage of Omicron (even Stat<\/em>, I know!) because it\u2019s been nothing but clickbait non-information.\u00a0 Medical Twitter, though, is finally coughing up the beginnings of real information, and I think there are a few important points emerging that are worth taking under advisement.\u00a0 \u00a0Alternately, consider opening an account where you do nothing but follow @catworkers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Biggest thing to know: Initial anecdotal<\/em> evidence (buyer beware) is that neither vaccine status nor natural immunity is much help in preventing spread.\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t mean your vaccine (or previous infection) provides no protection to you, personally.\u00a0 Indeed it appears that vaccination is still good at preventing severe disease.\u00a0 But what you need to let go of is the delusion that if only everyone in your circle is fully vaccinated, in that case you\u2019re safe.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not.<\/p>\n
