Genuinely unsure.

Possibly not necessary at the moment Because, as you say, your immunity will have been boosted because you contracted the virus recently.
But, according to the medical profession, this immunity diminishes over a few months.
So around the time the Millers achieve promotion it might be worth thinking about boosting your immune system again via a booster jab.

Obviously those people who are scared of needles and read crackpot websites will need to find another way to protect themselves. Vitamin B perhaps

Pandemic over? Care to explain why then ICU bed occupation is still at >100% in most areas here, a level that prior to Covid coming on the scene had never been seen? Are you saying they are putting mildly poorly people into intensive care beds just to make the numbers look 'good'? If they are they need to stop it because many of them are only making it out of there in a wooden box.

I find Dr John Campbell'youtube daily talks very useful, clear and informative. He discussed a paper today from america discussing the natural immunity and concluded very little value in getting booster of you've had omicron as natural immunity provides just as good protection.

It is a curious case for sure, but I'm not sure what you think it proves?

First, a few things... Omicron is known to be highly contagious even amongst the vaccinated/unboosted. If you look a little deeper you see that actually they were all quarantined before flying. If they were all quarantined together and just one person slipped through with covid undetected that would rather account for how so many of them caught it?

Go ahead, wake me up oh enlightened one... what do you think it tells us?

John if you believe that the article is untrue, please sue them. Again and again you don’t understand the truth, please read the article again and explain why 75% of vaccinated people contracted Covid...?

I was talking about this country, don't know everything that's going on over there but they're certainly not above fiddling the figures.

Anyway, in the UK deaths peaked in January 2021.

Well the definition of a pandemic isn't UK only and although the US and World show a similar pattern, at 2000+/8000+ deaths per day I'd say it's far from over.

Certainly not over, whilst there are still stupid, selfish people about that won’t get vaccinated or follow the rules then the virus will thrive.
