The MSM is avoiding reporting the experiences of those unvaxed who get omicron unless of course, they end up in the hospital.

I'm 61 and I had covid over the weekend (couple of nights with a fever and a headache). I decided I to let my elderly parents know I had had covid; I did not want to worry them initially. I first spoke with my father who asked how it was and told me that my uncle was in the hospital on oxygen. He commented that my uncle was not vaccinated but I explained that I knew he had in fact been vaccinated. I had visited the family for a funeral in July of last year and had spoken with my uncle about vaccines - I was unvaccinated and I refused to enter the funeral home where there were a large number of mask less vaccinated individuals. I had read enough by then to understand that the vaccinated might pose a risk, especially before being fully vaccinated. My uncle told me he had been vaccinated, my father does not talk to him, so he would never have known.

I next spoke with my mother and her reaction floored me. Her first reaction was to ask me if I had now gotten vaccinated. I explained to her how mild it had been and she immediately shut me off and started talking about how it affects everyone differently. And then mentioned my "unvaccinated" uncle. I know my mother watches only the local television news and CBS, NBC, and ABC yet I had stupidly assumed she might actually listen to her son with firsthand knowledge. When I visited in July, nearly all of the family was vaxed and no one was wearing masks indoors. I had been following the news closely around the world, especially in Israel, and had seen the number of breakthrough infections rising dramatically and knew the US was next. So I stayed on the porch of the funeral home. My mother would point me out to relatives; I believe she told them I was unvaccinated and that's why I did not want to come inside. Once at the cemetery, I was a pole bearer; I was not concerned about outdoor transmission. Less than two weeks later, the CDC began to recommend that even the vaccinated return to using masks, etc. Obviously she did not listen to me back then but I guess I had hoped she would start to change her opinion.

This is going to be a long battle to change minds.
