So we are saying Omicron is killing people?
Omicron has pretty well pushed out the earlier variants.

Move on, everyone. Let your immune system work as intended. Vaccine after vaccine just messes up everything.
Vaccines have saved millions of lives. They do not mess up anything.

Just like how about everything ie. flus, colds, cancer, diabetes, heart disease car accidents, gun shots, vaccine deaths and many more things get labelled as Covid and it's variants.
No, "flus, colds, cancer, diabetes, heart disease car accidents, gun shots, vaccine deaths and many more things [do not] get labelled as Covid and it's variants".

Just an FYI from someone whose allergies are out of control today
We all finally got covid (fully vaxxed) with supposedly "mild" symptoms...no fevers, loss of smell etc. However, it hung on a LONG time for us...DEEP HACKING COUGH first 2 weeks which was scary...more "regular" cold symptoms (major stuffiness, post nasal throat drip, ear fullness) next 2 weeks. We didn't have much sore throats at all, but my brother had scratchy throat more than a full week (with laryngitis symptoms...could barely talk)...along with cough lasting even longer for him...about 6 weeks. One of the worst "colds" we've ever had...no way mistaken for allergies.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing! We also finally got Covid after avoiding it for more than two years...also both fully vaxxed, but no boosters. We had sore throats, headaches, fevers, laryngitis, fatigue, congestion...the whole enchilada! I'm still hacking up gunk and suffering fatigue a full week after the majority of symptoms ended. The only possible upside, is maybe enhanced immunity going forward, but who knows....but definitely worse than any allergy I've ever had!

I use to have allergy problems, not any more. Not from pollen, that covers your car and turns it a different color. My problem was mold, that's in the grass. Cutting grass kicking that up. Not so much any more. Maybe I outgrew this, my sister did. Where I work they have shut down several departments down because of covid. I had a mild case twice, with symptom I had never had before. This past month I had covid, I mean just shy of going to the hospital. All the symptoms, and a few I didnt expect. I still have a little shortness of breath, and a dry couch. Allergies and a severe case of covid, are not even close to being the same. This will be here for a while, plan accordingly.

OK all the more reason I don't think I ever had COVID nor Omicron yet.
