Yahoo Finance's Anjalee Khemlani discusses how the CDC says the COVID-19 booster shots are effective against the Omicron variant.

How do they know this? I hate news stories like this. Where is the data? How do they know it is “boosters” that are helping, vs regular vaccines, vs just nothing at all? Show us the data or shut the heck up. Without data there is no way to know how FOS they are.

--- " In countries like India, with 4 times bigger population crammed into landmass 1/3 size of USA, the numbers are smaller. I attribute to poor reporting and recording there."

Since you bring up India as of 23 January 2022,

( 489,409 "officially dead from Covid" Indians / 1,380,004,385 Indians ) x 100 = 0.035 %

If the percentage deaths were commensurate with population between the US and India, given the USA as model, India should have experienced about 3,615,000 deaths, which would have attracted attention, it is assured. That would a huge amount of "poor reporting and recording."

Given that the USA is champion in the deaths/population by far, it is likely that your description fits as well -- "poor reporting and recording."

Generally the northern European nations have far less deaths as a function than the US, which brings me back to a singular conclusion

The Fauci-Collins led pandemic response in the US has been the WORST in the world, and other reasons are there to consider, such as the CDC "protocol," suppression of any therapeutics by the FDA early on, and more.

As people try to somehow defend the US data and resultant policies, including economically destructive lockdowns, the anomalies seem to heighten, not lessen.

What’s the hospitalization rate for pure bloods with Omicron?

Exactly, they have ZERO way of knowing this, but people lap this crap up. They will not give up!!

IDK...
Mine is ZERO!
My 5th cruise since China virus arrived is booked in early February 2022 (in just over 2 weeks). I took 3 jabs, but it is my daily exercise (age 82) which is guarding me.

Fauci annoys me even more because I heard he is the highest paid bureaucrat in DC.

-— “Fauci annoys me even more because I heard he is the highest paid bureaucrat in DC.”

The Kennedy exposé suggests far more than that. He is amont the highest paid, corrupt and atop a cabal of others who are "enjoying" the payday of that corruption, bureaucrats and politicians alike.

And the Democrats, MSN and CNN sorts continue to prop him up.
