Professional golfer Phil Mickelson triggered leftists on social media after asking some logical questions about the COVID-19 pandemic and its latest variant.
The 51-year-old PGA champion said he was “just curious” about some things regarding the omicron variant and posed questions that many would agree were fair things to consider, be they from politicians and public health officials or from non-experts such as Mickelson.
Serious question since I’m not a dr. If omicron is contagious but not deadly(25,000 cases in Africa with no deaths) why try and control it?” he asked in a tweet on Thursday.
“Why not let it go and let people get it and develop immunity? Especially for those who won’t get vaccinated?” he wrote, adding, “Pls no hate, I’m just curious.”
In the not-so-distant past, asking questions like these would not land someone in the line of fire but would have sparked lively debate and discourse. But in 2021, Mickelson’s straightforward queries set off criticism from lefties who, like Dr. Anthony Fauci, leave no room for logical questions about the virus and its variants.

Mickelson might be on to something with his question.
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University, in findings published online in The Journal of the American Medical Association, have found that breakthrough infections of the delta variant created “a robust immune response.”
Those researchers said the findings indicate that “the immune response is likely to be highly effective against other variants as the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to mutate.
These findings suggest to the researchers that the omicron variant could create “super immunity” while presenting a far smaller percentage of very sick or dying individuals than seen in the delta or earlier variants. More research needs to be done into how this immunity would occur.
Bingo……happy that his doctors chose an alternative treatment as opposed to Faucis death protocol.
Glad your nephew is ok. Get him in a gym, hitting some weights, and on a treadmill and he’ll change his life.
Merry Christmas.
It’s a cold. No biggie.
Well if there’s no need to cut corners, then it must not be all that serious of a disease after all.
