I’m more or less with Stephen Green on this question:

I really want to catch the omicron variant, and the sooner the better. …

The best part? That Israeli study showing that a combination of natural immunity plus vaccination is the best protection against some nastier variant.

I already got the shots. Now science is telling me I can add natural immunity without risking my cherished indulgence in food and drink?

We’re built to catch bugs, fight them off, and then mutually adapt with them to coexist.  Treating any variant of the virus as if it is as deadly and unknown as the original actively does harm.  If it is still the case that Omicron has killed nobody, why are we sweating it?
