How many in the hospital and/or dead?
Guarantee it is zero. The omicron variant continues to be very mild everywhere it’s spread. Stupidity.

so forced mask and vaccine mandates are fairly pointless and we shouldn’t be enforcing them to further divide the population, right?

This

And it's stupid that the antivax crowd sees this as some sort of triumph

So the vaccinated catch the milder version that evades the vaccines while the majority of hospitalizations and deaths are the unvaccinated

Yes, that was part of my "back to normal" line

To be fair, it sounds LIKE EVERYONE catches the mild version. Also people love to lump the anti-vaccine and anti-mandate group together.

What’s happening here and in the NFL and other places where the test a lot proves that mandating something to protect everyone is just silly.

Clearly those 3% of the unvaccinated are infecting the other 97%. Or at least that must be true if vaccinated people can't spread covid.

Omicron is pretty much as weak as the flu right?

Why didn't they shut down during flu outbreaks in the past?

That's what's missing from all of the media fear porn over OMICRON!!!!!!!

Everything about how fast it spreads and zero about whether it is causing people to be sick enough to even seek medical treatment let alone be hospitalized.

OMICRON!!!!!!!

Yes because it is speculation and nothing to back it up.

Do you really think that Omicron cases are so high in the vaccinated because they are all traveling internationally?

If you believe that then I get to believe the real reason is that the mRNA vaccine is less effective than natural immunity thus why it is higher in vaccinated people.

You know who else seems to think that? Dr Robert Malone

Dr Malone says mRNA is primarily effective for a specific spike protein from the original Covid19 virus. We are around 15 variations beyond the original. Dr Malone also suggests that leaky MRNA vaccines have allowed the original Covid19 virus to learn how to evade the shots.

Dr Malone is the pioneer of mRNA technology.

No one sees it as a triumph. Well some may, but I see it as further proof that natural immunity is still the best option and that the vaccines should have only been used on the elderly, sick, etc

1 death in the entire world and the headlines even said the person died WITH Omicron.

Apparently, Powerman has some data the rest of the world doesn't have.
