This makes so much sense. I work in a hospital operating room and we have 100+ staff and we cannot social distance some of the time. All of 2020 and most of 2021 I was expecting a time where a lot of staff would be out with covid. It finally happened at the end of 2021. At the same EXACT time (about a two week span during the peak of omicron in our city), a large percentage of vaccinated staff was out with a "mysterious serious illness" (that perfectly mimicked covid symptoms) that tested negative for covid, flu, and RSV. So am I to believe tough-as-nails OR staff are calling in sick for days on end with the common cold? Or that the vaccinated individuals are also catching covid along with the rest of the staff?

This whole house if cards needs to crumble. I saw this phenomena firsthand with my cousin and then my teenage daughter. My cousin was sure she had COVID in February of 2020 but had several negative PCR tests. Then she was tested for antibodies a few months later and had them. In my daughter's case she had a bad cold but tested negative on PCR and continued attending high school. Two months later a vaccinated student in her class got Covid, forcing her into quarantine and testing. At that point she tested positive even though completely asymptomatic. It's like the world has turned upside down on disease prevention
