Biden told it will take two weeks to have definitive data on Omicron variant

Quote:
WASHINGTON, Nov 28 (Reuters) - The top U.S. infectious disease official, Dr. Anthony Fauci, told President Joe Biden on Sunday it will take about two weeks to have definitive information on the new coronavirus variant Omicron that has sparked new travel restrictions and shaken financial markets.
Two weeks.,..where have we heard that before

Well, at least he is reassuring about the vaccines that he continues to push.
Quote:
Fauci said he believes existing vaccines are likely to provide "a degree of protection against severe cases of COVID", and officials reiterated their recommendation for vaccinated Americans to get booster shots, according to a readout of the briefing.
Just imagine if they started the whole vaccine push with "Yea...the vaccine will likely provide a degree of protection against severe cases...oh yea and you will need to get jabbed every 6 months".

Yeah, and in two weeks they'll tell us we need to limit our Christmas gatherings to six people who are vaccinated.

Nobody is falling for this anymore, particularly given all the times these people have been caught not following their own rules, without a care about catching anything.

Why are we still recognizing this government as “legitimate”?

Probably do like they did with Delta, not test for it, just estimate.

and if every single American eligible were to get the next shot tomorrow (first, 2nd, booster) ... when would that immunity be deemed to kick in?

Oh, yes. 2 weeks, maybe 3.

Unfortunately the bold is not true. There are MANY people who will continue to foolishly do whatever the CDC, Fauci and the Biden administration tell them to do.

The problem is that there are still people falling for it, and there will be people falling for the variant after this one, and the one after that. It is this group that will continue to push for masking everywhere and to get vaccinated or boosted. After all what better way to protect yourself against the variant than to get the exact same vaccine that has been available since it was first approved.

Just imagine? If I was told that I’d say give me jab, and give me it again in 6 months. What’s the problem? You expect 100% efficacy to last forever?
