It is what it is. I'm fine with it, for myself and most people who I know who got it are also fine with it, so you don't need to be indignant on our behalf. I took a calculated risk, nothing bad happened, nor did anything happen to any of my friends and family. I even got the booster but I will say I wish I hadn't gotten that... I still got omicron anyway. I won't be getting any more boosters, I'm not afraid of future covid outbreaks, it's getting less dangerous and it's here to stay, like the flu. In fact omicron was much less severe than the flu for me (the alpha or delta variant that I caught was the second most sick I've ever been though).
I definitely believe vaccine mandates make no sense at this point though. I never believed in a mandate even when the vaccine was preventing transmission (the vaccine actually worked quite well for the original strain of covid for which it was developed). it clearly doesn't prevent transmission of omicron though, so it has become entirely a personal choice for if you want to ensure you will likely get a mild case.
