I told DH I think we should skip the new year parties. These will be 100% unmasked. I was looking forward to socializing but it just seems like a bad idea.

I also just reserved an indoor party space for my unvaccinated preschooler’s birthday. Not sure if we should go ahead or cancel.

Congrats for spreading anti-vaxxer talking points, OP!

Op here. I am not an anti vaxxer. DH and I both have gotten boosters and 2 of my 3 children are fully vaccinated. My youngest is 4 and too young to be vaccinated. We are good maskers.

All these places with 80% vaccination rates are still surging with covid cases.

I’m the one who wants to go to parties and throw parties. I’m not spreading any misinformation.

I’m wondering if other people are just saying f it and going on with life.

I was looking forward to life back to normal. For a few months, it felt normal. Now cases are higher than ever.

People are saying f it and going ok with life. They are also getting covid. From the people
I know who currently have it, which is a lot, some say it’s nothing and some are pretty sick. If you are ok with being one of the pretty sick ones them by all
Means mingle indoors with like minded people.

Not buying it. I know a bunch with breakthroughs and it supports exactly what scientists are telling us. It’s mild, when vaccinated.

I know multiple households with breakthrough cases. Many are mild. Some have significant symptoms. One is a triple Pfizer vaxxed, healthy, thin man (a professional dancer) in his 30s who says he’s so grateful to be vaccinated, because “I can’t imagine feeling worse than this.”

I know it’s super convenient for you to be a denialist, but I frankly don’t give a rat’s behind whether you’re “buying it” or not.

Denialist? Listen to science. Don’t pick and choose what they say.

You don’t give a ‘rat’s behind, but you responded’. I don’t know one person that’s gotten Covid more than once in 2 years, so if that happens, it’s extremely rare and it’s misleading for you to act like it’s a common thing. You’re keeping the fear going and I’ve been a rule follower the whole time.

It's not rare. Most people I know who've gotten it once have gotten it twice. At least. There are common patterns. They are the people who can't work from home. Whose kids are in daycare. We are exposing vast chunks of our population to a virus with unknown effects. When I look at countries who truly have a zero tolerance approach to anyone getting infected... My mind boggles. What do they know that we won't admit?

No way. Getting it over with, while being vaccinated is actually the best protection. People are not getting this more than once, with minuscule exceptions. It’s misleading for you to post that

Exactly. If we get it now, it’s so mild and we might as well get it now and get it over with since we will all get it eventually.

This isn't the chicken pox. It not a one and done thing. Very uneducated and frankly silly to keep preaching the "we're all going to get it, let's get it over with" line.

Well the medical professionals say vaccinated people with no high risk conditions can decide that their risk of serious illness is low and if they feel comfortable- they can do what they want. You’re uneducated if you aren’t aware of that.

Exactly

OK, but you ignored the point. The “we’re all going to get it” is a lie and as you can get COVID multiple times and there are multiple strains, “we just want to get it and get it over with” is also a lie.

False.

Exactly! You won’t “get it over with” because getting omicron doesn’t mean you won’t get future variants, but all of the mingling just enables it to mutate more. Not to mention, there has been some indications by credible research that Covid remains in your body. We don’t know what the long term implications of that are — whether that means health issues down the road, even if you just get a mild case now.

I’m not saying we should never go out. But there is a surge right now. The best course of action is to reduce gatherings during surges.

We don't.
