“Incredible hype that hasn’t been reflected in public opinions IIRC. It would seem that biden is hiding behind his machine to preserve his ‘ratings’ and letting the minions run rampant. Democrat globalist/leftists need to keep fear high to justify further restrictions and controls. This may be a first run attempt to use a variant as a tool to override elections reforms instituted after the 2019 elections.”

Looks to me like they are setting up Biden to be the reluctant lockdown guy, who regretfully has to lockdown because enough people didn’t get vaccinated.
Also, regardless of how many mutations Omicron has, and whether vaccines work or not, the variant will be used to push vaccines.
It’s like everything they do is to push the vaccines.
I’ve said it before, if your top worry is a pandemic, you don’t fire nurses over not getting the vaccine. There’s lots of good reasons not to mandate vaccines.
The only way to make sense of what they do is to look at as if the vaccinations are the top priority by far, more important than public health, the economy, elections, anything.
My point entirely - you said it better.
