This variant is great news.
The bad variants will get replaced over time. Lets just hope some knockout punch isn't delivered to it by Fauxi's minions and that turns things back to being more deadly

Exactly.
That ordinary common cold that’s plagued man for millenia? Like the one I’ve been fighting all week? Just another coronavirus variant.

Ok, this has got to be some sort of el gaucho routine.

85% of colds are rhinoviruses, but point taken. Let everyone get their winter COVID cold and let's be done with this shite.

Omicron = common cold
Delta = common flu
Delta = common flu

If you never heard of Covid 19, didn't watch the news, and I told you there was a really bad strain of the flu going around, would you have known the difference?

Yeah - Flu season doesn't last 2 years

I'm not overly familiar with your post stylings but you seem to be operating within a definite mental spectrum.

Everyone needs to do his/her part.
We are not out of the woods yet.
Remember…we’re in this together.

They should let it run and drop vax. Let everyone catch up.
It's going to run anyway whether we vax or not, because the vax doesn't keep you from getting it. I agree to drop the vax.

The people who are vaxxed would be protected and the people who are unvaxxed assume the individual risks.
The issue is that this argument would really only be logical if the unvaxxed who experience really bad symptoms don't clog up treatment avenues. If you want to make the "assumes the risk" argument, then that has to apply across the board. No diversion of other resources while assuming that risk.

This is a statist argument.
People who overeat are allowed to assume the risk.
People who smoke are allowed to assume the risk.
People who engage in risky sex are allowed to assume the risk.
People who drink too much are allowed to assume the risk.
Why is Covid special? It’s not.

We've seen at least twice where it can overwhelm hospitals. That's why it's "special" (compared to the behaviors you listed).
You're also adding in a lot of qualifiers to the other poster's comment. He's specifically arguing to assume the risk of this particular issue.
Even with that, we have all sorts of regulations over all the behaviors you listed except over eating. Hell you can be arrested for a completely subjective guess (being "intoxicated" via alcohol) while not actively harming anyone (driving without incident).

The way it's being reported on is absurd.
SAY NO TO THEIR COMPLIANCE ATTEMPTS.
They are trying to go full stalinist/stasi with their control system using "vax cards"
Simply, tell them NO'
"In light of the lockdown policies that are strongly impeding the human liberty of movement, of travel, and of social gatherings as a whole, LifeSiteNews asked Dr. Malone whether he could explain the recent statements he made on Steve Bannon’s War Room show about the danger of “global totalitarianism,” as it is being played out right now in countries such as Austria and Australia.
The vaccine expert compared the lockdowns with the “camel’s nose” metaphor: “Once the camel’s nose gets in the tent, pretty soon the whole camel is in the tent,” Dr. Malone said.
“We have this tendency in western democracies — frankly, I think Great Britain is particularly susceptible — to this idea that we’re doing it for the common good that we can do social engineering, we can have these interventions.”
While these democracies claim that these measures are “limited, just for one thing,” we see “this incrementalism” taking place, Dr. Malone continued. As an example of this phenomenon, he referred to Great Britain’s Trusted News Initiative. Originally aimed at “resisting incursion into our political system from offshore political interests,” it has now been “weaponized against vaccine dissent. Really, it’s what it comes down to: It’s dissent about interpretation of facts and information.”"

Actually it lasts forever. While it’s dormant in one part of the world it’s kicking arse in another.
Just like covid. The north is taking a hit compared to the south rt now. It’s 70 today.
