Maybe that Omicron didn’t get that special “gain of function” treatment.

Omicron is a variant of the common cold, getting it will help keep your body from catching another common cold until next year when some other variant becomes prevalent. The good thing is that the common cold has been endemic in our society and most others for hundreds of years.

Most of us past the age of 40 had mothers who told us that if we caught a cold and ran around in frigid conditions without a jacket or abused ourselves in some other way that we would catch pneumonia and die. So, although the cold is not thought to be very serious there presumably have been some people who became sicker after getting a cold and died. Our mothers would not lie to us.

In the UK, the number of daily deaths has since halved from 2,800 to 1,400 after the Omicron variant spread throughout the country.

I don't think those numbers are correct.

Worldometer says there have been between 100 and 150 daily deaths.

third one fine with me. all ready got two natural immunity “boosters.”

[One4Life]

Vaccines and boosters are no longer about health, now they are political, and used to bring control and compliance. This mild Covid cold should signal the end of the insanity... but it won’t, there is too much political capital invested in the iron fist of control throughout the Western “free” world. The vaccines and mandates, tracing apps won’t end without a fight. People have to say “no” - unfortunately we have a large group that only responds with “vaxx me harder daddy.”

Someone tell Biteme. He is srill on his mandates.

immunity against what? the next variant isn’t here yet to know

[alexander_busek]

According to reports: “Some experts claim the benefits of extra jabs are minimal because their primary purpose – preventing deaths and hospitalizations – has barely waned after a year and several Covid variants, effectively meaning boosters are adding to an already high base level immunity.”

Gibberish!

Copyeditors asleep at the switch again!

(from the article):" Professor Ian Jones, a virologist at the University of Reading, alluded to the fact that catching the new Omicron variant is better than getting a vaccine,
as the strain functions like a “natural vaccine.”
The new variant is reportedly too mild to cause any real harm other than a few sniffles and a snotty nose but generates enough antibodies needed for lasting immunity."

"The more jabs that people receive, the more difficult it will be for people to develop this type of natural immunity, even if their immune system still works post-vaccine, that is."
