Omicron concerns should spur millions of unvaccinated Americans to get their Covid shots, experts say
CNN ^

Posted on 11/27/2021 7:05:16 PM PST by MNDude

As the new Covid-19 Omicron variant spurs global travel bans, experts say concerns over its impact should prompt millions of unvaccinated Americans to get their shots -- and for those who are eligible, to get their boosters.

"I would hope that within the next week or two weeks, so many of those people will take advantage of the vaccine," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told CNN's Alisyn Camerota Friday. "That will help us in the immediate term. And I would anticipate that, as bad as Omicron might be, our vaccine still will be partially effective." Dr. Anthony Fauci echoed that, pointing to vaccinations and boosters as effective mitigation tools.

Hardly. Quite the opposite.

Purebloods don't fall for media hype.

Show me one person who has died from only Covid, and who had a Vitamin D3 level above 50 ng/mL prior to coming down with it.

If they can, then I will consider the clot shot.

Otherwise, they can kiss off.

The more people they vaccinate, the more variants appear.

You sorta, slightly alarmed me the first time.

I ignored the second time.

I smiled at the third time.

I snickered at the fourth time.

I retired from my job at the fifth time.

I am currently laughing.

Yet there are folks blaming ME for their fear.

Yeah, not happening friends. I am now at the “I’ll die a natural death thanks” point.

Wow.. Was he supposed to admit that the "vaccines" aren't designed to be effective against all the new variants?

At the same time, why would yet another "new variant" make people smart enough to not get the shots, suddenly change their minds and decide it's a good idea to get them now?

I didn’t get your poisonous jab before, Dr. William Mengle, and I’m not getting it now so Big Pharma can create more billionaires by hoodwinking the public.

FU William Schaffner!

The first four cases diagnosed were people who were already vaccinated. Second this is a mutation of the virus so how could a vaccine developed for a previous Covid mutation stop this one? It can’t.

This is why the flu vaccine isn’t very effective. It’s a guess every year on which flu strains will be prevalent and the fact that the flu mutates rapidly. The last two years I got the flu were years when I got the flu vaccine.

After noticing that I stopped caring about getting the flu vaccine.

Why bother?

I was vaccinated twice last April and May.

I am currently stuck at home due to coming down with covid.

I’m stuck here for another entire week of doing nothing, with what feels like a moderate cold, which has nearly gone away after 4 days.

People need to calm the hell down. It’s a cold. A bad cold at best. Covid has apparently mutated down to a less deadly virus, as a virus must logically do if it is to survive.

We need to start looking at it as just another cold.

So now we have flu virus, rhino virus and covid virus. Big whoop.
