As the Lancet study showed, the vaccines stopped being effective at all in the elderly 120 days out:

So it’s no surprise they are dying of Omicron. It’s horrible and sad, but not a huge surprise.
The flu disproportionately kills the elderly, too:

There has been much argument about Covid death figures and about excess deaths. It’s all become so politicized that if somehow perfectly accurate figures could be produced with incontrovertible evidence to back them up, no one would believe them and everyone would just keep on arguing.
I am staunchly against mandates. I do not think anyone should be forced to get vaccinated, especially when the vaccine is issued under EUA rather than after the usual decade + testing. I think there are legitimate reasons to be concerned. I have not been vaccinated myself.
Contrary to a very vocal faction on FR, however, I don’t think the vaccines are “bio weapons” meant to kill us off.
We have not been injected with the mRNA products. From my olive drab days, I have experienced plenty of vaccines. I agree with those who suggest the mRNA products are not vaccines in the decades-long sense, definitions having been since tailored to the sometimes devastating con / racketeering "events" -- plural -- since now these same companies want carte blanche to rush more mRNA products to market under EUA tricks.
A very high mortality rate virus would not have a pandemic now nearing its fourth year, for the killing off of hosts would have occurred too quickly. As repeated, the mortality rate for this "event" focus is a meager 0.0836 percent mortality rate based on three years of official data.
As a pandemic cause or a bio-weapon, the mortality rate of this defeats both suppositions. What awaits then is the begin to tally the "costs" in injury and death of these mRNA products and the idiotic lockdowns cheered on by the ChiComs and Fauci and his ilk.
