@geobear40 said in Here we go again: Fox hosts say Omicron Variant is a Democrat plot!:
@hubrys
What both liberal and conservative media are not following the science. Omicron is very mild and treatable without inpatient care or death. It we allow it to spread around and people get over it and then have natural immunity Covid19 will be a yearly thing like the flu is. If you are high risk you get the shot if not then it is your personal choice.
Brandon & Co don't want to follow the science because that mean they loss control of our personal freedoms granted to us by the Constitution.
Republican won't stand up because they are still afraid of the WOKE mob.
The only thing Republicans fear right now is their own Right Wing, and therefore Trump.
The BIGGEST fear the Dems have is their own LEFT Wing (the "Progressives") - but it's not their ONLY fear... because they're "in power" they also have a plethora of other "fears" that go with that... Having the reigns of power is a double-edged sword!
We don't know much about Omicron yet:
We don't know its infection rates (Beta's was quite low, while Delta's was much MUCH higher than the original);
We don't know the "lethality" of it yet;
And, most importantly, we don't know how well protected we are by the current set of vaccines yet.
Learning that it exists is a FAR CRY from understanding it! We've really just learned that it exists... Scientists are good and smart, but they're not magic... it'll be Feb (?) before we know the full effects of Omicron!
While I generally share your optimism that Omicron will be less than the original: less deadly, less communicative, less of the threat in every way; the fact is we can't make those judgments yet.
COVID-19 is a "force of nature" - anyone who blames Trump for the COVID-19 virus is a political opportunist of the WORST kind, and an idiot on top of that!
The same goes for Biden and this new variant. These are politicians - not Gods! They can only REACT to the virus - the same as they can only REACT to hurricanes, earthquakes, and the like...
Blaming Biden for low vaccination rates among Republicans is like blaming the inventor of the seat belt when your loved one is killed in a car crash - while NOT wearing one!
But, you can't blame Trump for that, either! He has publicly said (multiple times) that he thinks everyone should be vaccinated!
Sometimes it does make you wonder: between the Q-Anon freaks and Trumpites, which is the dog and which is the tail? LOL
With all the nicknames, I no longer really know who @raphjd is talking about... c'est la vie...
