Even if 100% got vaccinated it would not have ended..
Omicron is less virulent to the unvaccinated too...In fact there may be evidence showing that vaccine may make you more susceptible to Omicron after 2 weeks...
And well people that are already sick - are generally susceptible to getting sick from anything that, well, can make one sick...
Society is meant to function to support those that need it...closing society to try and protect those that are always at risk is a fundamental fallacy that may have permanently damaged the fabric of our civilisation..
I didn't say sickness was over. People got sick before covid...remember those days lol...COVID and the political plausibility of any restrictions that existed is over...the hysteria should be over...there should be acknowledgement that mistakes were made in policy - the lockdowns were horrific and likely worsened the conditions, the mask policy, school closures, border shutdowns, the vaccine mandate - effort all of it was a huge huge huge mis-step and if any faith in medical/political institutions is to be restored this needs to be recognised so that we can be move on and be prepared, god forbid a real threat to public health comes along...
It's done - we don't need free testing it's 2 years to late. We need to say it's over. Thats reality. Anything else is pushing a false narrative and trying to prolong a state of chaos. Cases don't matter anymore. And until we know how many are in hospital for COVID rather in for something else with covid (as the MOH acknowledged there is confusion of that) the metrics of hospitality and death are meaningless. It's done - stop it - let's ashes rest...
So tired of black and white politics, what ever one party does the other screams the contrary. It's ridiculous. Omicron is a MILD variant for vaccinated and unvaccinated a like - cases and death are hugely decoupled (and it's no thanks to the vaccine)...This isn't hard. The emergency is done, covid is a sniffle, but the most of health policies that remain are contradictory, ridiculous and need to be seriously rethought but the political backlash over just the small adjustment to protocols is extreme and often counter productive to bringing closure to this debacle of public policy....It only prolongs the state of chaos. PLP and FNM playing ying and yang has always been bad for bipartisanship and the country..why can't we just all get along and agree that this thing is over...
PS anyone talking about strict measures at this point needs to go to the nut house..
