Fortunately, Conan never had to fight the Omicron virus or any other Covid variant past, present or future. Unfortunately, the real world where we all reside has had to face, are facing and will likely continue to face some form of illness resulting from the initial Covid virus. The reports that Omicron is more virulent are absolutely true but the reports of Omicron threatening to overwhelm hospitals and morgues are completely false and the absolute opposite of the science as reported from South Africa where they have tracked this variant for over a month. One interview with an immunologist got quite a response to the query about how we should view the upcoming Omicron variant where he responded that if at the start of the Covid epidemic he had produced an efficient vaccine, it would have resembled Omicron. In defense of his answer, as of this writing, there have been zero Covid deaths and a single hospitalization. We wish that the scare tactics, which are frightening fewer and fewer people, was the end of twisting, bending and mutilating the science to fit their narrative of expected horrors just around the next variant.
We keep watching as numerous cities, counties and states threaten mask mandates and/or lockdowns despite their proven complete ineffectiveness. President Biden is continuing to claim that Omicron is a “Pandemic of the unvaccinated,” despite studies showing the majority of people testing positive for Omicron are fully vaccinated with a sizeable number having also received a booster jab. We believe that the rate of infection per capita between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated are probably statistically equal. Biden also stated “We are looking at a winter of severe illness and death for the unvaccinated.” Were this a valid statement, it would portend an almost equally bleak outlook for the vaccinated, but that would be ridiculous. Apparently, Omicron is an equal opportunity infector where it could be slightly worse few days for the unvaccinated but limited to at worst similar to the flu or even the common cold. The reality is, agreeing with numerous physicians and viral researches, not dependent on NIAID subsidizing their research, Covid is over, done, exiting stage right; simply stated, Kaput!
