Omicron may be less severe in South Africa. That may not be the case for the U.S.
South Africans have built up significant COVID immunity
A tantalizing clue to why omicron is spreading so quickly
GOATS AND SODA
A tantalizing clue to why omicron is spreading so quickly
As a country, South Africa had already gone through three massive COVID surges, as vaccination rates there remained low, compared to the U.S. and Europe

Everything works different in the US. The vaxxed were being hospitalized in Europe and Israel in high numbers but here it was like 99% of the hospitalized were unvaxxed. Natural immunity works elsewhere however in the US it isn't even worth being acknowledged. I see no reason omicron should be any different. Yeah, maybe they should just stop lying to us. I can't wait to see Brandon has in store for us tomorrow.

That was three days ago. Today NPR is saying that you should be fine with two shots and golden with three. Although, they are still saying that the unvaccinated are in for some trouble. Although, it's my opinion that just about everyone will be fine when (not if) they get an omicron infection. Like you said, omicron is just a common cold. Albeit a highly contagious one.

Omicron has only been around for a few weeks, and of course, the right thinks that the CDC needs to have all the answers, AND is criticizing them for that reason
They say 91% of Democrats have all the shots, only 60% of republicans…democrats need to shut the hell up trying to convince the republicans to get vaxed
There is 11 more months to go before the election, and we need to check the voter roles so dead republicans don’t vote. Just my opinion

What changed??? Democratic leaders care, it’s me that says it…how many thousands of times have the CDC, the NIH, democratic leaders, pleaded with the public to get vaxed over the last 2 years…but righties want no part of the vax… so I say let’s quit wasting everyone’s time. Stay unvaxed, I don’t care anymore
During a July 2021 CNN town hall, U.S. President Joe Biden falsely stated that "You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations," and "If you’re vaccinated, you’re not going to be hospitalized, you’re not going to be in the ICU unit, and you’re not going to die."
