While the early South African results are heartening, with hospitalizations increasing far less than the overall case count, the officials cautioned that it remains too early to base U.S. policy on the overseas data alone because of differences in demographics and other factors. For instance, a greater proportion of South Africans have likely been infected by earlier strains of coronavirus than Americans and may retain more protection against omicron as a result, two officials said.
Oh, so you're saying natural immunity seems to provide protection from Omicron?
And highly vaccinated countries, like Denmark, are having massive outbreaks despite being almost 100% vaccinated?
Surely, on a supposedly scientific matter, you can find something from someone who isn't screaming either "VACCINE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE" or "IT IS POISON".
Otherwise, I'm just going to disregard all claims about it.
There still exists non-partisan sources on scientific matters that have been expressly politicized? The peer review process exists largely to screen for political orthodoxy. Feel free to disregard all claims on the matter; that is mostly what I do at this point, except my null hypothesis is always against the regime. I also assume that somewhere in the field of biology, and anything softer, inductive logic based on empirical evidence(science, the non religious version) ceases to be useful, as it is too abstracted from hard measurements of physical reality.
COVID mutated into a strain that's less harsh but more communicable, so overall it will kill and cripple fewer people but it will also muscle-out the more severe strains.
Not for those wanting to milk this for both money and power.
The point is to demoralize you and break you down with an endless barrage of trauma- and fear-porn. We've always been at war with Eastasia, comrade. Now hurry up and finish digging that ditch or you'll be late for your cockroach snack.

No kidding...
Turns out ade is a bitch.
Who could have seen that coming.
Ade??
Antibody dependent enhancement
Dig into it.
I'd like to, but is there any source that isn't highly partisan?
Well, for starters, don't use Google.
That's like asking for a non-partisan source on GamerGate.

Sure, find me a 'nonpartisan' source on decolonization of "whiteness" from the modern era

Yeah. Differences in demographics... Like Africa being riddled with AIDS and Tuberculosis? That'll improve your prognosis.
what if aids was providing a backwater protection in the form of preventing a hold from cov19? stranger has happened.
You heard 'em, Omicron's done, time for a new variant.
Every coof wave has subsided as quickly as it grew. Every single wave has been symmetric. Farr's law.
Omicron isn't deadly enough so it's got to go.
They had 2 years to add hospital capacity. There is no excuse for more restrictions at this point
Instead, they fired staff and closed wings because of lack of use.
It was, they built HUGE temp hospitals then almost immediately closed them. Because its NOT ABOUT HEALTH CARE.
Just two more decades to flatten the middle class!
Yes, but
Not for those wanting to milk this for both money and power.
But at least one person may have died from it, so we were totally justified in turning society upside down for an arbitrarily chosen amount of time!

'Cockroach snack' is a good one.
Thats why they cucked morhpeus in the new matrix.

There’s an archive literally IN THE TITLE, bruh…
My bad haha I didn't notice
Yah, I learned the hard way (i.e. people here yelling at me/getting my posts removed on Reddit) to always archive shit, where possible, lol...
Pay attention, bro, sheesh! :p
They realized the people just don't fucking care about Omicron.
South Africa must have complied and ordered more vax doses.
I meant, and meant to say, “rest of”…
Get a grip.
Imagine still believing in variants
