Question - how do we know if someone got the XBB variant? Those that I know that got sick recently took a home test. How do they gather the variant statistics? Thx!
That is a great question. The only way they could confirm that is to send the test to a lab. I think they rely on people who still go to Walgreens/cvs/health department for a PCR test. Results could definitely be skewed!
Common sense will tell you the vaccine is of little use for those receiving it and if you go by the stats, it increases your chances of catching, then having a more severe case of COVID. Thank you for bringing this to light. Please continue to provide all of us with such valuable information with which to decide for ourselves about taking the COVID booster shots.
Very interesting and informative article. As usual. Thank you!
