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

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.

How can you come down with Covid after you have been vaccinates? It
would appear that getting the Covid after vaccination negates the purpose of getting the Kickapoo Joy Juice. Perhaps you should have been vaccinated about 20 more? Or perhaps you fell for their line of bull shit.

Seems the only people getting this variant are the vaccinated, so why get vaccinated?

Isn’t it fascinating that a so-called variant was reported in South Africa back in April, 2021? Why the sudden, immediate concern?

“People need to calm the hell down...”

SHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Don’t you know that the government has spent BILLIONS of (our) dollars on a massive campaign to make everybody FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES?!?

Ugh… When you first started feeling the bug come on, you were SUPPOSED to PANIC!! and rush to the hospital! - Let the “experts” take care of you and save your life! (and made them a LOT of $$$..)

Seriously, glad you’re fine and all is well. I had pretty much the same experience with it. But I do get blasted here regularly by the folks who think I’m an idiot for not buying into the fear campaign.

Cheers!

Isn't Omicron a relatively mild, vaccine resistant-variant from Africa, --a continent where only 6% of the population are vaccinated and that has largely avoided any significant Covid outbreak?

How is this supposed to make people want to get vaccinated?

I am so f***ing sick of Dr. Fauci.

Perhaps you are just an asshole. I don’t know for sure, but it could be true.
