I heard being vaxxed but unboosted gives you the same odds against omicron as unvaxxed against delta or something? Idk. I always wear my mask, but should I stop eating at restaurants and stuff too?

All 3 doses were Pfizer if it matters

    According to this UK WHO study from 3 days ago

    Depending on the estimates used for vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic infection from the Delta variant, this translates into vaccine effectiveness estimates against symptomatic Omicron infection of between 0% and 20% after two doses, and between 55% and 80% after a booster dose. Similar estimates were obtained using genotype data, albeit with greater uncertainty.

    The third dose goes a long way (55-80%, which is at least as good as what two shots did against Delta) towards preventing symptomatic infection, but you do still need to be careful.
