   @strypey @bigblen unclear to me what the argument is here, but the vaccines absolutely do not stop people from getting covid, and never have: https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/why-are-fully-vaccinated-people-still-catching-covid-19

     If you want to split hairs, I've got a whole headful right here. The *data* says that more people are getting COVID but overall they had less severe symptoms. It seems to be obligatory to interpret that data in a way that gives the credit to vaccines that evidently don't stop people getting COVID or passing it on 🤷♂️

     @strypey to continue your quote the difference was "mainly driven by a larger proportion of Omicron patients vaccinated with three doses of an mRNA vaccine."
