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.

Nearly 250 Million Americans have opted to get jabbed with experimental vaccines. The fear of covid is off the charts.
I respect this man even more. Brave, he is.
BTW, I listened to NPR yesterday because I was waiting on someone who was an hour late. And this covid fear mongering is all over NPR. BUT, NPR interviewed a restaurant owner who was so disappointed in the ‘administration’s’ handling of the covid relief fund for restaurants. He had not one good thing to say about it. Unfortunately, he didn’t get any more political than that. Bummer.
“ Stop believing articles. Do your own examination of numbers, from Russia.”
Russia Russia Russia.
Maybe you should go there & check it out. And see if they have Hillary’s emails while you are at it.
Has Lefty been placed in Twitter jail yet?
Or is his nickname confusing the Twitter police?
Looking for facts from the article you posted? How about these words of wisdom from that article:
According to a Harris County Public Health (HCPH) report the man was between 50 and 60 years of age. He had underlying health conditions…
Now the word “natural” in “natural immunity” may make it sound like a favorable thing. But “natural” isn’t always better. For example, would you rather have “natural” poop in your ear or fake poop?
However, such natural immunity may be about as reliable as an alpaca as a night club bouncer.
If the Omicron variant can evade vaccine-induced immunity to some degree, what do you think it might do with “natural immunity,” which may be more variable and weaker to start?
I am near my 1 year anniversary of Covid. I had 2 antibody tests done: one in July and one on Monday. Both show I have antibodies, which NUMEROUS studies say is superior to vaccines for Coronaviruses.
Who decided it was exhaustion and frustration and not reluctance to be vaccinated? I got mine two months ago from the VA, but I have seen enough information about side effects that I’ll never get another one.
You are such a coward.
We knew that when the news started reporting the first cases coming out of Italy
It was hitting the elderly in long term care
So, despite being Italian, Cuomo thought it was a great idea to shove those getting it into facilities that weren’t prepared to handle it while specialized temporarily hospitals and a hospital ship sat empty.
Just because it was Trump that wanted to help
I thought all along that Biden would never actually issue the mandate because it would be found unconstitutional and he would’ve already had so many employers doing his dirty work for him.
How Long Does Immunity Last After COVID-19? What We Know
Does COVID-19 always confer immunity against future infection?
More people are getting COVID-19 twice, suggesting immunity wanes quickly in some
Merry Christmas. Don’t ever change!
You should wash your hand more often.
If omicron is contagious but not deadly(25,000 cases in Africa with no deaths) why try and control it?
Because BIG PHARMA needs to make more BILLIONS!
This is as far from capitalism as you can get. Whole industries are becoming addicted to Chicom Flu dollars from Fedzilla. They will kick some of those billions back to the swamp and distort our economy for years to come.
Care to revisit this shovel full of hysteria you’re pitching around in 60 days? After 60 days of nothing burger we will find this is more hysterical BS. I’m sure if we go back 60, 120, 365 days, etc. we will find you shoveling along with each new wave of propaganda. All proven to be BS. Yeah, I’ll be waiting for you when we get that Russian smash.
Owen please follow up with something to support your assertion that omnicron is deadly. I am not seeing that assertion being made anywhere but here and by you? I await your response. I am sure you can back up this frightening theory?
***Not my information***
What Laboratories Should Know:
There are no authorized, cleared, or approved diagnostic tests to specifically detect SARS-CoV-2 variants (Omicron or other variants). Currently, COVID-19 tests are designed and authorized to check broadly for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, not for specific variants.
The Omicron variant has a deletion in the spike (S) gene (Δ69-70). Some molecular tests with multiple genetic targets include a target covering the portion of the S gene where the deletion occurs. The presence of this mutation can result in an S-gene target failure (SGTF, also referred to as an S-gene drop out). The S-gene target will fail (return as negative) while other targets are expected to remain positive in the presence of this virus. SGTF can signal the need for sequencing to characterize the variant in a specimen.
SGTF has been observed in other variants and thus is not specific to the Omicron variant
When one can refer to the sometimes “beloved” CDC and find information such as this, those who cite the CDC as secular gospel ignore Data such as this. This would include all the previous “variants” breathlessly announced in past months.
Continuing the citation: “Results regarding the presence of the Omicron variant, or any other variant, should not be reported back to patients or providers and cannot be used for diagnostic purposes.”
CANNOT BE USED FOR DIAGNOSTIC PURPOSE.
Odd, that.
Because there’s no profit in herd immunity.
