    Yes, and if its as mild as advertised, then its not much of an issue, except that when tens of millions are infected, some will no doubt die. Those who are vaccinated should not have much to worry about.

    Not always.

    My last employer’s vaccine mandate, effective August 1st, 2021: Their Corporate decision was based on science, and not Biden’s forthcoming policies nor his wishes.

    It shows that we're not out of the woods yet. We won't be for a long long time.

    It should be noted that Omicron cases aren't as important as Omicron sicknesses with dire consequences.

    I guess using your logic, we're not out of the woods concerning the flu, either.:roll:

    What would constitute being "out of the woods"? Having no serious illness risk? No viruses or flus? If so, we will never be out of the woods. Omicron is showing to have mild cold symptoms. People need to stop panicking and fear mongering over the sniffles.

    I'm just explaining the situation here. The pandemic as we know it won't be over for a while.
    We all know the dangerous situation we're all in. There are still too many of us dying and there are still those that won't take the shots in which everyone should. I believe that we should all be vaccinated whether we want to or not. Simple as that.

    There is no danger at all. Yes, sure virus is bad, but we can't do anything about it. Vaccines have zero effect if you look at official CDC numbers.
    No masks no vaccines can solve the problem.

    We're not out of the woods with the flu, either...The flu seems to be killing more people and putting more people in the hospital than Omicron.

    So for more than a year we have heard how the liberals have the plans to defeat Covid. How Trump undermined Covid response and we would be so much better under Biden and the Democrats.

    And now the Democrats have surrendered to the virus, given up on the people, and says we should simply go about business as normal and "when" people die, it will just be part of life.

    Here we are. They are no longer really called breakthrough cases when the vaccinated get sick. Just another positive for the books and more and more deaths of the vaccinated.

    This one belongs to the liberals! The deaths are on you!

    A slightly wrong size screwdriver can be used to remove the screw but it would be a bit harder. Just like a vaccine developed for a slightly different variant

    Update:

    Cousin Omicron is ripping through all vaccinated populations, including cruise ships, Navy ships, McMurdo Station in Anarctica and pretty much everywhere in the world except those populations who routinely take HCQ for malaria prophylaxis. :roflol:
