To be fair, vaccines prevented the transmission and infection of Covid very well until Omicron showed up. Under Delta (and earlier) the vaccinated breakthrough rate in the U.S. was a mere 0.56% -- a rate which is far below the vaccinated breakthrough rate of measles at over 3%.

When Omicron showed up -- which is more infectious and very vaccine evasive (in regards to infection) -- the vaccinated breakthrough rate went way up. With BA.5 the effectiveness of vaccines to prevent infection is down at 12% -- which is still better than unvaccinated "natural immunity" with a 0% capability of preventing infections with Omicron. When Omicron specific boosters are available in the fall this situation will improve in regards to vaccinations preventing infection.

Covid vaccine 66 per cent less effective at preventing infection than it was just two months ago, expert says
As Covid cases hit new record in the UK the vaccine effectiveness has tumbled but they are still good at preventing infections from becoming dangerous

This is true and studies reflected it. Media did a piss poor job (comparatively) of covering mutations and waning efficiency

I stopped reading about covid long ago since I and nearly everyone I knew never got covid twice.But this one seems to be the real deal when it comes to getting past natural immunity. My friend that I got covid from also had covid a few months after I did in 2020 and never had it again,until now.

Hope you are better soon Tony, when I got it at the very very beginning in Jan 2020 it was from being in the car with somebody ill. It wasn't officially in the country for another three months but it had every symptom and I had a touch of pre-diabetetic effects for months as my pancreatic cells were clearly hammered. I was OK by July-August 2020 six months after.

I was convinced after that it's a matter of exposure intensity so very much happy to use the good masks and carefully. I remember malaria too well in Africa, a parasite organism of course but one could see how when people got it every two to three years on average in the local tribes the toll of the fevers and cell damage aged them hugely. From that I've been wary of what Covid could do to us over 15-20 years with repeat infections unless it downregulates.

Anyway, I'm back in Colombia, I didn't bother flying the pond after visiting family in the States. There was nothing I could do in Romania for my friends in Ukraine at the moment and I have what seems to be a case of normal mild post-plane sniffles and quaranteening from the wife myself. If I get Covid though I'm quadruple vaccinated with three different vaccines we can throw our hands up haha

Thanks bro and I hope you don't have it.Stay quarantined because this bugger seems to be getting through the vaccine and natural immunity more than the other variants.
