Going to have stop reading Ian Welsh, I guess. He’s gone full Covid panicker, believing you can get reinfected with Covid 900 times and that it inevitably causes Long Covid, etc. None of this based on any evidence, of course. And in this new mythology the vaccines also are useless (increasingly the position of the loonier bits of the left). But who needs evidence when you can scare people?

I’m about as worried about Omicron as I am about the common cold, and that ain’t very damn much. If it weren’t clogging hospitals up due to the unvaxxed I wouldn’t give a crap about it at all.

Time to move on.
