I think we are witnessing the death throws of the power hungry. Omicron appears to be the true Colvid killer. Once this wave passes, most will have the immunity from the virus, or whatever is left from the vaccine.

I just post, based on what I glean from what our #s show, and from our health authority, without bias(I try) I'm more than done with this. I semi bought in at first, not out of fear, but concern. That wore off long ago, when it became apparent we were just chasing our tails. And this is being pushed even harder for Omicron, which presents as a cold for 499 out of 500..the math is there for all to see, but they keep pushing worse case scenario's that have yet to materialise..especially maddening for Omicron.

I'm over the boneheads who want to argue over which immunity is better, we didn't do studies on that on purpose, so believe whatever makes you feel good.
But once this is over, some discussion needs to be had over how far we should be willing to go for peace of mind and security. I propose those who wish to give up their freedoms for the good of the collective should be separated and placed in special housing for their own protection. The rest can "fend for themselves", or as we used to call it, do normal things.
Jobs would be created as a service industry for the group incampsprotective housing. And the one's who want to feel superior for being super woke can all be together, away from the unwashed. Sounds like a win for everyone.

Remember the annual waves of flu? Anytime there's a large number of cases of a disease, there's opportunity for mutations.
As we've seen with reinfections (people who had Covid and then got it again) immunity doesn't protect you from the variants.

Reinfection is extremely rare with respect to natural immunity, but seems to happen all the time in the jabbed.

Natural immunity doesnt give you an invisible bubble shield around you the virus bounces off.
even with natural immunity you still get reinfected if you come into contact with the virus, your bodies just prepared to recognize, attack and neutralist the virus very early before it starts causing noticeable issues thanks to having antibodies floating around your blood stream.
ie Exactly the same way with the vaccine.
All immunity natural or otherwise degrades. .. its never life time.
Especially since the Immune system itself degrades and breaks down with age (looking at you Thymus)
immunity doesn't protect you from the variants.
