WASHINGTON, Dec 19 (Reuters) - U.S. health officials urged Americans on Sunday to get booster shots, wear masks and be careful if they travel over the winter holidays, with the Omicron variant raging across the world and likely to take over as the dominant strain in the United States.

The government is gearing up for the next phase of battle in a two-year fight against a virus that has killed 800,000 and disrupted every aspect of daily life.

Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, told CBS' "Face the Nation" that the number of Omicron cases will go up steeply in the next two weeks.

"A big message for today is if you've had vaccines and a booster, you're very well protected against Omicron causing you severe disease. So, anybody listening to this who's in that 60% of Americans who are eligible for a booster but haven't yet gotten one: This is the week to do it. Do not wait," he said.

Omicron is multiplying rapidly, making COVID-19 vaccinations and booster shots more crucial than ever, chief White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Sunday. Currently 27% of U.S. residents have not gotten even a single dose of vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"It is just, you know, raging through the world," Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"A big message for today is if you've had vaccines and a booster, you're very well protected against Omicron causing you severe disease.

Except for the part where all the articles I've read say that OMNICROM evades all the current fauxccines...

"Severe"..."disease"...fear porn...

The vaccines are useless against "Omicron".The bigger message that they are trying to stop anyone from realizing is that "catching" Omicron itself pretty much means you won't have severe "disease".

What was the "Omicron" death count again in the UK, a nation of 67 million? One? And that one WITH not FROM.

Nothing but pure theater to claim the "vaccines" saved the world as we know it.

It’s “raging” in the same way the common cold is raging.

Oh, the huge manatee!

How many people get colds and flu in the winter months? I don’t think they are distinguishing the differences when someone gets sick. It’s just strike it up for Cover and $$$$$ will flow.

Meanwhile in South Africa, they stopped tracking Omicron because it is such a insignificant problem.

It is just a matter of time before it becomes MANDATORY for anyone aged 5+. The plan has already been drawn up.

And the part where omicron doesn't cause severe disease in the first place.

I thoroughly enjoy wielding so much power as a healthy, unvaccinated patriot.
