he Omicron variant has been detected in at least 19 states in the U.S., and is striking mainly fully vaccinated people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Forty-three people in 19 states have tested positive for omicron, according to remarks made to the Associated Press by Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 75 percent of those cases are in people who are fully vaccinated, and one person has been hospitalized. One-third of those individuals had traveled internationally; one-third had received a booster. The cases so far have been “mild,” she said.
Preliminary data from South Africa meanwhile show that people who have previously had COVID-19 have more protection against the Omicron variant than those who have been vaccinated, the UK Telegraph reported.
The new study is the first to show how omicron compares to previous variants, such as beta and delta, on a level playing field and the preliminary data shows antibodies in blood samples are 41 times less effective for omicron than for the 2020 strain.
“The results we present here with omicron show much more extensive escape,” the researchers of the new study said.
Although the new variant appears to be milder, it is reportedly more infectious than previous variants.
Officials in the United States are urging people to get vaccinated and boosted to protect against Omicron, despite the vaccines’ apparent ineffectiveness at fighting the new variant.
Late last month, Joe Biden used the emergence of the new variant to pressure unvaccinated Americans aged 5 and up to get their shots, and for everyone else to get booster shots six months after their second dose.
NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci said last week that there is “every reason to believe’ boosters protect against Omicron.

even a GREATER reason for the CDC and FDA
to demand “VAX”-rape of children, teens, and pregnant
and nursing mothers.
Interesting that the CDC doesn’t mention any deaths from the Xi-it variant.
Hmmmmm...
The vaccines cause problems.
That would be readily apparent if, say, 20% of the population were vaccinated. We could see that the 20% of the population was having health problems, susceptible to variants, etc.
But with a push to vaccinate 100% of the population, everything gets muddy.
⬆📌
The vaxshills will defend their religion to the death, even their own.
Alec Baldwin has killed more people than Omicron
“Alec Baldwin has killed more people than Omicron”
Poor Alec has killed no one (sob), his gun did. /s/
When will we quit hearing about how effective the vaccine is? “Sickness is health “. It’s Orwellian.

The leftist corruption in government and business has gotten so bad that I would put almost nothing past them (unless it was doing something good...that would be hard to believe).
I wonder when Saturday Night Liberalsh*t is going to do a skit on their boy, Baldwin’s, fiasco.
So Hillary was wrong.
Hope IS a strategy.
The 1918 Spanish Flu occurred in four waves between early 1918 and early 1920. At the time the pandemic was occurring, they did not know if it was viral or bacterial. Didn’t know it was influenza until some years later. The point being, no one knows why the waves stopped. Many suspect the deadly pathogen was replaced in the ecosystem by a less lethal version.
So far, it looks like Omicron has the potential to end the deadly versions of COVID. No deaths yet reported from Omicron. If this stays true, we should all go lick hand rails and ride in elevators all day and try to get natures vaccine.
Really? And just how, exactly, are they able to identify someone as being infected with the “omicron” variant? What test are they using?
So, when can we expect a pronouncement from Herr Fauci saying we should check the vaccination status of friends and family and only allow unvaccinated at holiday gatherings? :-/
That is a very good question. A question I have not found the answer to either.
The announcement was suspiciously timed on the Friday after Thanksgiving when the US stock market was open for a short day of light trading. It crashed the US markets. The markets recovered some the next Monday on news of mild symptoms being observed. So on Tuesday there were government announcements of possible new restrictions and lockdowns which crashed the stock markets again. It seems much is being done to keep the fear going.
