> medication that does not appear to stop the spread of Omicron COVID

The current evidence indicates that the vaccine reduces the spread of the virus by about 50% [1]. It's a preprint, so take it with a grain of salt, but it does seem to match our prior 50% estimate for delta. [2]

That is a significant reduction, especially when we are talking about truckers who are inherently high risk as they tend to visit a lot of small towns.
