Hear a lot that with the new Omicron subvariants, the vulnerable are only of concern, well....than I have news for you! You, yes, probably you too, have or will maybe become the vulnerable today after one or more covid-19 episodes. Your acquired post-infection/vaccine immunity isn't solid ...1/3

Thinking of that old story of a Dutch boy finding a hole in a weakend dike(our diverse waning immunity)and sticking his finger(XBB.1.5 booster) in it to stop the leaking in a 9Bft storm(variant swarm/BA.2.86).
