it's still the case for omnicron. What is the motivation for people to spread this misinformation?

And mind you even if the impact on transmission rates is relatively small, this has a significant impact on the amount of cases due to the exponential nature of disease spread.



What I wrote is not misinformation, the post I was replying to however is incorrect, claiming the “majority of vaccinated people do not get infected.” The efficacy of eg two shots from H1 2021 is iirc about 30% (being generous.) Also, the fact that someone already had COVID or not materially alters the potential benefits of getting a subsequent first, second, or third shot. Men under 40 who have had a COVID infection specifically are reasonable to reject the current vaccine, especially Moderna, given the still unknown mechanism of action which is causing heart damage and in some rare cases killing people.
