Apparently the misinformation is spreading faster and wider than the virus itself

“Omicron” is actually “Moronic”….. they just mixed up the letters to cause more fear.

The article says hold on, we don't have the data. Do n't listen to misinformation.
But then asserts, without caveat, that the vaccines are effective against omicron.
Which is it? Wait for research or not?
Oh, and BTW, from what I can tell based on NPR's reporting, ONE out of the first 10 Omicron cases in America was unvaxxed. Of course, you can't research the actual numbers because it would hurt the narrative.
I have also heard multiple sources, including this one, discussing how the fear of omicron (their words, not mine) is being used to push vaccines.
Hmmm.... Maybe it IS all about fear.

There is some evidence that Omicron is not as severe as the initial versions of the virus. That makes evolutionary sense...if you want to spread (all diseases basically do) then killing your host isn't good...infecting them in a way that allows them to live and spread it does....

Lt Col Charlie Brown As I already said, COVID isn't going away. It will just keep on mutating. They said the Delta variant was worse than the original, now this is more dangerous. They keep crying wolf, people don't know what to believe.

Craziness at new levels. The virus isn’t going away as you sad and while we have reservoirs in nature and are allowing over a million unchecked unvaccinated people across our southern border travel bans are as effective as gasoline n stopping fires.
