I hope you don’t think I was painting a rosy picture. To me it’s pretty bleak. Maybe Omicron has peaked, but those who said it peaked two weeks ago were wrong. Maybe Omicron is less lethal, but deaths are very high (maybe combination of omicron and delta?). With a lack of testing, any decrease in the daily count could be simply the result of fewer tests being taken. These morons in the administration should never have stopped Operation Warp Speed. They never should have bet the farm on vaccines. They may help, or may have helped, but they don’t work and may not help at all with Omicron.
Anyway, hoping what I have is just flu and not the virus I guess I just need to wait. Either way, I am in isolation awaiting the results.
Correct. But it is so much more contagious than Delta and the vaccines are not holding, even though it is a milder disease compared to Delta.
Too much money at stake and Pfizer & Moderna are not going to give up on a cash cow.
I think it's possible that superior vaccines may be in the pipeline but we'll never see it. Also, keep in mind viruses are going to virus so they shouldn't had overpromised us when we got our shots, they should had been clearer in their messaging that this is more like the annual flu shot.
