What the graphs mean is simple. Infection with Omicron doesn’t give you immunity. A lot of people say ‘we’ll all get it eventually, let’s just get it over with’. But it won’t work, because you can re-catch it again within weeks, vaccinated or not. And it can damage your body more each time. The young teacher whose tragedy I shared yesterday had no underlying conditions. A pulmonary embolus is something Covid can do even to healthy people, even with ‘mild’ infection.
