Most everyone I know who has gotten it again has expressed surprise at getting it after being vaxxed and twice boosted. I have to remind them that the vaccine doesn't stop them from getting it, it just reduces the likelihood that they'll die from it. That said, three of the people who have had repeat infections this past month have been much sicker, and for a longer time, than they were the first time they had it.

I am not surprised that we are now dealing with a variant that can dodge some of the immune response. There was, and is always the chance that mutations might provide some new advantage to the virus, and there is still opportunity for the virus to further mutate into something even more dangerous, but I think much of the populace does not believe that. I wonder if, had we not let this thing run rampant in the first place, would we be dealing with the current situation. I kinda think it was still going to get us, just maybe more slowly.
