And you still have Ian Welsh and many other Covid panickers writing that Omicron is the MOST SEVEREST DISEASE EVAR!!!!!
It’s just incomprehensible. If Omicron had the severity they claim, 10,000+ people would’ve been dying a day during the current and receding wave in the US. Covid has shown me definitively that 99%+ of people will just lie to protect their ideology. Their political alignment doesn’t matter at all. That’s just how the vast majority of people work.
