Most people infected by the omicron variant of COVID-19 were not aware they had it, according to a new study.
“More than one in every two people who were infected with omicron didn’t know they had it,” the study’s first author and an investigator at Cedars-Sinai Sandy Y. Joung said in a media release. “Awareness will be key for allowing us to move beyond this pandemic.”
Investigators conducting a study examining COVID-19 and the effect of vaccines identified nearly 2,500 blood samples from patients just before and after the start of omicron’s surge – identifying 210 people who likely had it given antibody levels in their blood.
Participant surveys and interviews then found that approximately 44 percent of those whose blood tested positive for virus realized they were infected.
Only 10 percent of those who said they were unaware of infection reported any COVID-19 symptoms.

Many of us didn’t get tested, or post on social media, we just accepted we had a cold. The boosters and masks simply need to go the F away.
So I guess we should just live with it, it's a virus.
So if that “cold” that we had was actually omicron, does that mean we are now safe against other strains of COVID?
It's a flu virus, you are never 100% safe and you never have been. Life goes on.

I probably had it felt bad for a couple days and then was fine. Never bothered going out to get a test and spread it to others and did not feel bad enough to get a home test.
"Imagine a vaccine so safe you have to be threatened to take it, for a disease so deadly you have to be tested to even know if you have it."
I met with my allergist yesterday. She told me that most of her vaccinated patients that tested positive for COVID said their symptoms were essentially the same as a sinus infection lasting about a week. Her unvaccinated patients that tested positive reported much more severe symptoms that lasted longer than a week. She strongly supports the vaccine.
Yes we are as safe as we need to be.
Just give it a rest already, you “vaccine” shill.
Your allergist loves the gravy train $$$.
This is rich.
F’ing fed and state govs are evil
And most of her “vaccinated” patients are likely to get a relapse or two of COVID, while those who had the full-blown illness without the vaxx are probably free and clear. (See Biden, Fauci, et al.)
Between 25 and 80 percent. Wow these scientists like their data tight! What kind of margin of error is that?

My allergist does not administer the vaccines. She, unlike Mercola, Malone, etc., does not profit from these vaccines.

Her vaccinated patients who become infected with COVID have the same protections any one who has been infected. The severity of the infection does not determine the protection. In fact, most studies indicate superior protection is the result of both vaccination and infection. Plus, the vaccinated do not run the risks of the full blown infections.
