You know the vaccines and boosters are also ineffective against omicron.

False. Less effective <> ineffective.

New information from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that the two-dose mRNA vaccines, like Pfizer and Moderna, are only 35 percent effective against the omicron variant of COVID-19.
“A COVID-19 vaccine booster dose restores vaccine effectiveness against infection to 75 percent,” the CDC said Monday. “COVID-19 vaccination decreases the risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19.”

Vaccines and boosters bring it one step closer to being "only a cold".

Provided you catch the virus during the time period the shots are effective.

Studies show the shots lose effectiveness over a period of time. The latest report out of the UK says the boosters are only effective against omicron for about 10 weeks.

A new study out of Denmark (not yet peer reviewed) suggests that over time (61 - 90 days) the shots actually make you up to 76% more susceptible to new variants like omicron over non-vaxed.

This citation has a pretty graph, but the article doesn't give any data to back it up. Meanwhile, the hospitalizations and deaths tell a very different story. And -- science gold standard here -- they're repeated. (The top half of the page is a very useful demonstration of a fallacy around reading statistics that's worth your attention.)

Keep denying anything that doesn't fit your narrative so you don't feel so stupid that you bought everything hook line and sinker.

No, I'm serious: there are no numbers, no data source: How do they gauge "less than zero" protection? Without the information, it's just a picture.
