Certainly we shouldn’t panic, but I don’t think we can be confident yet that Omicron universally comes with a mild response - in South Africa it’s mostly affected younger people who you would expect to present milder symptoms anyway. It might have been very different if it first appeared in a nursing home.

Possibly, but while we don’t know we can just exchange gifs…… @Noo_Noo Anybody but that guy please.
Ok. You’ve qualified for a Lovren award

Tbh, something tells me that Lovren would be agreeing with @Klopptimist
Ah yes you’re right. But lets not devalue a Lovren Award to the level of The Ballon d’Or now.

So let me get this right. New variant turns up, we don’t know what it’s impact will be. We know the pharma companies can now turn a modified vax round reasonably quickly. I think waiting for a “potential” modified booster is very sensible and I can’t have one if I get my standard booster now. I’m sorry if that puts you in a Lovren state of confusion. As I’ve said, a good friend of mine spent 3 months in ICU with COVID, I didn’t. Lucky me.
Why not?
If the scientific advice is that any tweaked vaccine gets made available to those in need you’ll get it if you need it. If they don’t consider you need it, you’re no worse off than now anyway.

Your logic is basically flawed
a) You think you had Covid. You haven’t been tested for antibodies. So you don’t really know, not 100%
b) You only got the vaccine so you could go abroad.
c) You’re now holding off getting a booster despite knowing that UK cases are still high and any vaccine or booster suitable for Omicron is probably around 6 months away.
d) if you’ve been reading this forum you’ll know that vaccine efficiency drops with time
e) You’ll also know that the unvaccinated are a greater risk to both yourself and the people around you
Where’s the sense in the above?
Nicholas Cage Was once cast as Superman. It’s not an image I care to see again.
I know this from reading outside the forum. If you believe everything you read on here then you’re welcome to my next BBQ 
The question now is, is @Klopptimist a closet right wing anti-vaxer, only getting vaccinated so he can do what he wants? 
No, jnr fully upto date with all jabs.

I wasn’t aware anti vaxers are considered right wing. You learn something new every day.
I dont think they are as such. But I also think it’s fair to say that many conspiracy theories are born and pushed from an extreme right of the spectrum. Trump for example.
And many come from the left too. The BBC being right wing being a perfect example.
Yes because Nadine Dorries said so. You’re enroute for another Lovren award here
Strange that, many years ago on TIA I remember many here that were left leaning saying shit like the world elite etc at G20 meetings protesting about capitalism /wars etc were trying to control the narrative so they could take over everything and force us to be compliant, and here we are with pharmaceutical companies creating vaccines that they are trying to enforce on all (despite the fact that said pharmaceutical companies has been fined billions during the years for faulty data and corruption)…and the very people who use to scream about civil liberties now scream about those who held on to their views previously shared by others…hook line and sinker …we’ve all been taken for mugs and given up any notion of living in a free and democratic society…just some haven’t realised it yet
