Actually death rates in Africa low compared to most.actually a high % of Africans refuse to take it
Actually something else is going on…
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
Ronald Reagan
just like the original, Delta and every other doomer "variant" they've "discovered"
won't stop liberal lunatic governors from trying more mandates and from dumb fuck Joe Biden from trying to mandate the vaccine even though the courts told him to go fuck himself.
or idiots like BCR and khalwat from posting mask, social distancing, lockdown and vaccine propaganda
GET YOUR BOOSTERS YALL
Be sweet if catching mild omicron provides immunity to all strains
New variant already in my city. Seems like it’s probably already all over the places. Not overly worried about it. Except for government choosing to sit down the province again….
I had to get tested last week. Having a child in daycare sucks. Those kids just pass whatever the hell around non stop.
Looks like this is just fake news, and an excuse to bury the Wisconsin BLM domestic terrorist mass murder story and make sure the Maxwell trial never becomes a story.
and to keep the doomers like BCR and sonatine scared
Lol at Biden address of omnicrap. People are over this shit. Hang it up loser. Rubes.

Nah doesn’t sound scary enough is all.

they need it for fear and control, a scapegoat to blame their disastrous policy and administrative changes on, when it tanks the economy and drives inflation to levels we haven't seen in 30 years and of course, to milk that big pharma money on vaccine and boosters to idiot drones for life
NY governor just hit the panic button and banned "elective surgeries" when hospitals are higher than 90% capacity.
This is dumb, and will kill people. Why?
1) Elective surgeries aren't what most people think. While some elective surgery can easily be delayed, such as cosmetic surgery, other elective surgeries are correcting potentially life-threatening issues, which aren't urgent in the "we must do it today and not tomorrow" way, but in the "if we delay this, the chance of this killing you goes up every day" way.
2) Hospital "capacity" has always been fuzzy math, as it's a function of beds, employees, and other factors. You picture 90% capacity as 90% of every bed in the hospital being full of patients with urgent need, but that's not true. Often entire sections are closed due to staffing issues, and other times recovering patients are hogging up beds, but could otherwise be safely released if the space were needed.
3) NY fired a bunch of unvaccinated staff, and that has contributed big time to staff shortages. Maybe time to hire them back, if staffing is such an issue?
In general, the government shouldn't be making policy about who hospitals can and can't see. If they feel we're getting close to needing such measures, why isn't any kind of real emergency action (staffing up, auxiliary hospitals, etc) being taken?
I've been interested in two factors regarding Omnicron:
1) Is it actually milder than Delta? Initial reports say yes, but we should approach that with caution, as most of these "mild" patients have been under 30 -- an age group which usually experiences mild symptoms anyway.
2) If Moderna and Pfizer are working on an Omnicron vaccine, why is Biden telling everyone to get their booster? Won't they need the Omnicron version anyway, soon enough?
You might say that, with Delta being almost 100% of current US cases, it's wise advice to get the booster now anyway, even if Omnicron will bust through it if/when it gets here. If you're looking for the optimal advice for individuals, that's true. However, from a public policy standpoint, it's the wrong messaging.
The government needs to avoid vaccine fatigue. There has never been a situation like this in the history of vaccination where people have to keep going back for new shots, multiple times per year. These shots also aren't trivial -- many get quite sick from them, myself included.
Therefore, if the real belief is that people will need an Omnicron shot in, say, 3 months or so, you don't want to tell them to get their boosters now of the original shot. They're just going to be tired of the whole thing by the time the (possibly more necessary) Omnicron shot comes around. The booster seems to do a great job at preventing symptomatic illness of mild-to-midgrade level, but doesn't do a lot to prevent death or hospitalization. It seems the first two shots do fine to hold back the really major problems, and the booster is what you take to prevent getting sick at all (and possibly to avoid long COVID, such as lung damage).
So while the booster is nice to have, from a public health perspective, it isn't super important right now. If the Omnicron shot is going to be more important than the booster, it is stupid for the government to be pushing the booster at the moment.
The problem is that Biden (and the left in general) is so used to reflexively saying, "Get your vaccine!!!!111" that it's like muscle memory at this point, and they aren't bothering to think beyond what they can see directly in front of their noses.
druff I love you and you're a good guy but I don't want your fox news outrage porn.
you have bought into this pandemic hook line and sinker from day one. even after it became clear it wasn't even deadly. you skew numbers to make it seem like people from 35 to 45 is a huge difference. IT'S NOT.
you're a relatively healthy guy in your 50s(I know I'm early) and you're not fat, you'll be fine, you've been playing both sides of the fence on this since 2021, you have 2 vaccines and a booster, you don't get to call anything out. you are a covid casualty
Final rant.
Initially I dismissed Omnicron as another lol variant, of which we've heard much panic and don't amount to anything.
However, I've learned to watch the actions of three entities, to better understand what is REALLY going on:
1) Moderna
2) Pfizer
3) Israel
You've heard the phrase, "Actions speak louder than words"? Well, that's been very true regarding COVID.
This is the first time I've seen real action from Moderna and Pfizer, regarding making a different vaccine for a variant. This would seem to indicate that these companies know there's a good chance their present vaccine doesn't work well for Omnicron, so they're scrambling to create a new vaccine. While there was some light talk about doing this for Delta (which ended up not being necessary), it seemed to be more in the exploratory phase, but never taken seriously. This seems more serious.
Israel needs to be watched because they are a small, modern, technologically-advanced country, which can act on things faster than the large, bureaucratic US. Israel was the first to get their population largely vaxxed. They were the first to get the booster distributed -- both initially and to the general population. They were the first to do studies on the booster's efficacy -- something initially dismissed by the US, and now acknowledged to be correct (basically that the booster does a great job at holding back symptomatic COVID with Delta). While the US was telling its citizens that nobody needs a booster until 8 months have passed, Israel was insisting that 6 months was the right number, and that the booster works. Well, lo and behold, now the US is saying the same thing.
Israel, while dealing with simialr left/right political bickering as we see in the US, is also better at acting in the country's best interest in major matters. They have to, because they are constantly under attack by their neighbors. This allows them to make quick, informed decisions on matters like COVID, which is more data-driven than politically driven. They have fallen prey to the cult of the mask (they have a mask mandate again, including outdoors with more than 100 people, which is idiotic), but aside from that, they've been pretty smart regarding COVID.
Anyway, I see an Omnicron vaccine in our early 2022 future, which sucks. I also think it's going to be hard to convince most of the US population to take it, since people will already be fresh off the present booster, and many will just say fuck it. There's already a large contingent of people who don't want to take more COVID vaccines because of the bad side effects they get from it.
COVID is the third highest cause of death for people 45-54, and not a distant third. In the past year, it was just a little bit behind heart disease.
Compare that to kids and people under 30, where COVID deaths are incredibly rare, and thus there should be no panic.
I'm using raw numbers here, not quoting the biased political takes, as both sides are wrong about COVID. The right is largely trying to make COVID look like a non-issue and a non-danger, whereas the left is largely trying to incite constant panic as a means to win elections and bring on unrelated social change.
This is why I got three shots myself (something the left has been urging), yet am totally against vaccine mandates and masks in schools for kids (a position the left hates).
I also think cloth masks are a bullshit security blanket, and lockdowns just hurt the economy and don't work.
This isn't talking out of both sides of my mouth. This is following the data and using common sense.
Saying, "I don't need no vaccine, my immune system works fine!!!" isn't common sense, when almost everyone dying of COVID presently is unvaccinated. That's ignoring the obvious data.
Saying, "WE MUST VACCINATE AND MASK OUR KIDS IN SCHOOL FOR SAFFFFFFEETTYYY!!!" also isn't common sense, as we have tens of millions of kids in elementary schools, none of whom are vaccinated, and not a single student-caused school outbreak in 3 months.
I refuse to buy into either side's idiocy, and I'm thinking for myself here.
This is the logic I use to convince other conservatives my age to get vaccinated. They are constantly battered over the head with lies from the left/media, and they think, "Well, I know I'm being lied to, so the vaccine must also be bullshit, just like my conservative friends are telling me."
I tell them that the left is full of shit with a lot of their COVID dogma, but they happen to be right about the vaccine thing.
Again, just follow the data and you'll get the truth in a lot of this.
Lol Druff getting cucked by dwai and rolling up his sleeve for that booster.

Oh no, Omicron. 😂😂😂😂🙄🙄
A bunch of bullshit...

Dow futures down more than 300 points on omicron Covid uncertainty
This is the overnight trading leading into tomorrow.
and in the meantime there will be yet another variant. the public will ratchet back some service based activities but still far better than year over year. In the big picture nobody gives a shit cause we are learning to live in a (post) Covid world. We ain’t never going back to 1994 and we know it.The reversal came after Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel told the Financial Times that he expects existing vaccines to be less effective against the new variant. Bancel told CNBC on Monday that it could take months to develop and ship an omicron specific vaccine.
Fed was supposed to taper off the ridiculous asset purchases but left the door open to changing that policy. Well, of course somethin was gonna come up.
The door is wide open to shenanigans. Did you have Thanksgiving at the home of a billionaire asset manager like Biden? Oh, no phone calls happening there. Strictly platonic.
They have absolutely no clue. We are beyond full employment. We are white fucking hot with cash. This alarmist shit is a fake punt.
The game is so so sweet. When will there be enough newly minted billionaires during the grand giveaway?
The messaging is absolute opportunistic horseshit.
This whole Covid deal has thrown the door open to some incredible fuckery. I’m not gonna reiterate the story about Biden’s nominee for Comptroller of the Currency.
From the Senate confirmation hearing:
Some of the economic central planning shit she has written about simply defies belief."Senator, I'm Not a Communist"
Transformative simply doesn’t do justice to what is in the works. The reality gets lost in the nonsense political tribalism… again the weaponizing of Covid to achieve wealth and change
