South Africa has a massive amount of people with HIV though. If they did well with it there it’s highly likely we will too here

Ah, Cornell.

The woke college that has a course on the racism of cosmology; "black hole" is racist.

97% are vaxxed and they are still shutting it down. Seems like they are still full of fear.

It looks like the omicron can evade the vaccines. Not sure yet if they reduce mortality for this new strain. We’ll need a booster specifically for omicron and we can add Delta too. Until then, mask up tight.

Why won’t they give us info on the omicron death in Britain?
When somebody wants to keep a secret from you it is to scr_w you over.

I think the omicron variant will spread like a grass fire going uphill the next month or so.
I hope you all are ok with a good case of the sniffles because it sure sounds like that’s what’s coming.

Statistically speaking the covid emergency has ended.

Time to move on.

I saw Fauci today saying that a vax specific to omicron is not necessary now. Just get the old shots and boosters, he said.
Hopefully omicron will be mild and is the beginning of the end.

What does “liberal” or “conservative” have to do with COVID-19 policy? Universities are generally filled with smart people who pay attention to science and facts. Their Covid policies will generally reflect that, instead of the latest rant from Tucker Carlson.

They can’t say that! Control over the masses!
They thrive on it.

If you are asking this at this point, you haven’t been paying attention.

Oh, right science... like unlimited genders and racist space constructs.

Judging by the experiences of foreign countries which got the Omicron variant before we did, the vaxxed are more vulnerable to Omicron. Scientists are puzzled.

It really doesn't matter since this variant has mild or even no symptoms, so ignore the usual media hysteria.
