OMICRON.
What is the matter with people?
I've heard on TV...
omnicron
ominrom
omicom

The Greek alphabet has two Os; big and little. O-mega and O-micron. What could be easier?

A word that transformed from a miracle to a horror story.

This mirace drug was an amazingly effective and was an over the counter drug promoted for anxiety, trouble sleeping, "tension", and morning sickness.
It was a god send for many pregnant women.
The word itself summoned up the hopes and achivements of science.

Slowly - and all too slowly the meaning and connotations of that word utterly transformed to a massive horror story, denials and delayed and inadequate compensation for its tiny victims.

I knew some COVIDIOT would waste no time making false analogies.
Covid deaths to date 5,400,000
Vaccine deaths 5

Speaking of that …

That Cringe White House Video with Dancing Nurses Has a Really Dark Backstory
https://trendingpolitics.com/that-cring ... tory-knab/

“Most disturbing of all, the White House’s full-court press for the ‘vaccinations’ does not appear to come from a place of legitimate concern for the health and well-being of the American people. The government officials behind the push do not recognize basic medical facts, such as that over 150 million people have Natural Immunity and thus don’t need the ‘vaccines,’ nor that they do nothing to stop the spread and therefore are not a matter of 'public health.'

“There is no real mentioning of therapeutics. There is no appreciation that children are at virtually no risk. It is bizarre.

If the response to Covid-19 was a matter of health in the US, then the borders would be closed and not open to every Tom, Dick, and Harriette.

In the case of Biden, who cannot pronounce it, the matter is either dementia, or hubris.

I am always astounded by the shit you read.
And amazed by the degree to which you gullibly swallow the garbage you read on 3rd rate infotainment web pages.

variant

What You Need to Know About Variants (from the CDC)
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nc ... iants.html

The argument against booster inoculations for mild variants:
- repeated inoculations may weaken immunity, resulting in boosters forever.
- the boost in natural immunity from contracting mild variants such as Omicron, or a variant of the common cold, is of greater benefit than Dr. Frankenstein's short-term gene therapy posing as a vaccine booster.
