My experience:
I had a little scratchy throat Jan 2. My daughter suggested that I should get tested, so I did and I tested positive to my surprise. My symptoms lasted only a day and a half, then were totally gone. My case was so mild. No fever, no fatigue, very little coughing. I tested again Jan 9 and was negative.
I believe that my minor symptoms and quick recovery (2 days) were influenced by the fact that I had been vaccinated and boosted.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Get well soon, seems like almost all of our friends have gotten Omicron, many with minimal or no symptoms. In families one brings it home and everyone gets it. Fortunately symptoms seem less than the common cold. This is a worthwhile discussion, and as they say directly from the horses mouth. Unfortunately so much information these days is taken out of context and then used for propaganda these days, doesn't really seem to matter what country one lives in. Having conducted 100's of clinical studies in a wide range of medical indications and still doing medical consulting for many pharmaceutical companies (including Moderna), one needs to look at real data. One reason why most studies are double-blinded and the clinical/surrogate end points are determined at the beginign of the study as to therapeutic efficacy.
Vaccines do not stop infection, they decrease infectious load, diminish the symptoms, duration of recovery, and mortality. Many of the people that succumb to any infection often have inter current medical conditions, that exacerbate therir ability to recover. Many of the hospital admissions, covid is not the primary diagnosis for admission. So there is no simple right or wrong, fortunately we live in a country where we can (for the most part) choose our own coarse.
So stay well, and get back to the shop soon.
