The US may be heading to a "dangerous vaccination tipping point," with immunization rates falling so low that population-level immunity is now at risk, and we will likely see thousands of needless deaths this respiratory virus season, two top officials for the Food and Drug Administration warned in a recent JAMA commentary.

Incredible. We've gone from practically eliminating polio to regressing into vaccine-denialism that's so powerful that we are just risking resurgent communicable diseases. And the people responsible for this get to continue promoting and influencing the world. Hilarious!

My partner and I were both fully boosted and both caught it in November. I'd been only been boosted for a week, her for 4 weeks. For whatever reason, her case was worse with about a week of fever, sore throat/sinuses, and all that. I never got a fever but was otherwise similar.

We'd both managed to avoid catching it at all before that, despite going on regularly and flying internationally a few times. We've just been good about masking and getting our shots.

I think this current strain must be extremely contagious. It sure was nice back when the government was tracking and reporting on this stuff.

Similar. Boosted in the fall, got covid yesterday. Same symptoms.. lethargy is so strong.
