Hi David,
Good point. Your second paragraph is correct. Your first paragraph
might be correct, but at the present time it is speculative. And if you
become infected with omicron the current evidence is that you are still
more likely to develop serious problems, including hospitalisation, death
and "long Covid” than if your immunity is boosted by a vaccine. No doubt if
we are prepared to wait a few years we will have all the answers!

Dear All,
I posted the following on Facebook and it was taken down twice in
spite of my disclaimer so I am submitting it to NatureNS. Perhaps dripping
wet; perhaps not.
I am by no means either a medical doctor or virus specialist but I suspect
that being infected by the mild variant of Covid, Omicron, might act as a
vaccine shot against Covid.
This follows from the history of the first vaccine. An astute medical
doctor noticed that milkmaids who got Cowpox did not get infected by the
far more dangerous Smallpox. And, drawing on memory, he made the first
Smallpox vaccine from liquid obtained from Smallpox sores and called it
vaccine from the Latin for cows which I think is Vacca.
