Omicron has raced ahead of other variants and is now the dominant version of the coronavirus in the U.S., accounting for 73% of new infections last week, federal health officials said Monday.

We can probably stop referring to them as “breakthrough” cases now…..

If exercise works, how come the medical establishment says you have to do it day after day, week after week, year after year?

It’s not about health, it’s about control. Wake up.

i didn’t say that. i said he has flip flopped a lot, been wrong quite a bit, and gives the impression of someone who’s desperate for people to not know that he ( indirectly to be fair) helped fund the lab where covid may very well have originated.

“two weeks to bend the curve”, remember that? I do.

He didn’t orchestrate this or want it. But i think he’s extremely unqualified for the job he’s in.

A sincere question. Is there a limit to how many times a liberal can be wrong, before they lose credibility with you?

The people shaping public policy regarding covid, are almost certainly helping keep infections and deaths lower than they’d be if we didn’t do anything. But they’re also doing unbelievable damage to society, suicides are up, drug deaths are up, cities are breaking murder records, huge numbers of people seem to have just decided to stop working, young kids are way way behind with verbal and academic development, go’s knows how many small businesses closed. Does the left ever talk about the societal
cost?

there’s more to living, than minimizing risk of death. I’m afraid they’ll be writing papers for 100 years about the damage done to
kids.

Hard all around, and for sure both sides are politicizing it.

since all democraps are obviously fully vaccinated and all trumplicans and most republicans remain unvaccinated the democraps should encourage their friends on the right to remain unvaccinated so they get covid and die and can't vote in the midterms...

The statistics for the unvaxxed would be far worse if millions of OTHER, WISER Americans hadn't already received ~half a billion vax shots, and if health care workers hadn't gone beyond the call of duty every day for nearly 2 years now.

Get vaxxed. Wear a mask. Wear it properly.

Seeing Trumps reason for not firing the guy who according to Conservatives fauci lied people died. Was because he just ignored Him

Wouldn’t believe anyone who replaced him anyway .

Just look at what they believe is real and what isn’t. And yet they get upset when they are called uninformed and misinformation sponges


An unvaccinated man with underlying health conditions died in Texas on Monday after testing positive for the COVID-19 omicron variant, officials in Houston said, marking what is believed to be the first death linked to the strain in the U.S.

Harris County Public Health revealed in a statement that the man, who was in his 50s and had previously been infected with COVID-19, died after contracting the omicron variant.

Maybe he listened to Ran Paul the ophthalmologist That Natural Immunity Is As Good As COVID-19 Vaccine

Over Fauci the virologist who’s whole message was simple get vaccinated when you can

It’s sad that Americans are being mislead and their lives are being place in Harms way to score Go Brandon points with their voters . While calling it leadership

NY Times Editorial Board Member Praises Trump for Getting Booster


During a tour stop in Dallas on Sunday with Bill O'Reilly, Trump announced he received the booster. Some in the crowd booed, after which Trump said they were only a small fraction of the audience.

Another crowd size reference to dismiss being booed LOL


Leadership would have been telling them why he got it and why they should .. but his missed his chance . Maybe next time

isn’t it a good thing Trump is encouraging people to get the vaccine and booster?

You’re attacking him for that?

Former President Donald Trump proclaimed Tuesday that “the insurrection took place on November 3rd” of last year and announced he will hold a news conference on Jan. 6, one year after his supporters stormed the Capitol and set off a riot that led to the deaths of five people.

“Why isn’t the [House] Unselect Committee of highly partisan political hacks investigating the CAUSE of the January 6th protest, which was the rigged Presidential Election of 2020?” Trump asked in an emailed statement. “Does anybody notice that they want to stay as far away from that topic as possible, the numbers don’t work for them, or even come close. The only thing they can do is not talk about it.”


and we also have sitting members of congress refusing to talk to the jan 6th commision

"I stand with immense respect for our Constitution, the Rule of Law, and the Americans I represent who know that this entity is illegitimate, another cowardly republican
