Swiss Cheese Model

As the Omicron variant blossoms everywhere, I see too many people  blaming others for not doing one particular action, like masking or vaxxing, which they say is causing the problem. Then I see others asserting that one particular action isn’t that effective, so they shouldn't bother doing anything special. Someone on Twitter posted that *everyone* she knows that has caught COVID-19 lately, is fully vaccinated. She concludes that we shouldn't be putting such emphasis on vaccinations, and that Biden is wrong for calling it "a pandemic of the unvaccinated." It’s such a multi-faceted issue. Catching and spreading COVID-19 are bad, but lethality is the main issue, and a vaccination really helps at the end. In my mind, this continues to be a pandemic of the willfully ignorant. A “Swiss cheese approach” (the above diagram is just one example) to COVID-19 defense is effective, but too many people want to keep it too simple. Not unlike diets, anti-pandemic measures are only effective, if you follow them. 🤷‍♂️‬
