    Was new variant named Omicron to avoid angering China?
    • WHO chose to skip two letters of the Greek alphabet to avoid calling variant 'Xi'
    • UN body named the mutation 'Omicron' instead of either 'Nu' or 'Xi'
    • President Xi Jinping is alleged to have significant influence over the WHO
    • China has been accused of influencing the WHO's initial response to pandemic

    Wow. So, they're sticking with the vaccination thing, huh? Even though we can't vaccinate our way out of a pandemic, they're sticking to their guns? So done.

    I guess you're done with the rest of the world too. Watch some international news and see how they're dealing with this resurgence in COVID19. Once kids and teens are getting sick from this shit, people's attitudes will change.

    Stop looking at this virus as something political.

    It IS political. All of these politicians and countries have made it political. Freaking Fauci has made it political. There is no getting around the fact this is political.

    Between closing small businesses during the lockdown but allowing big corporations to thrive to EVERYONE being forced to state their vaccination status (and showing vax cards to do anything) to people losing their jobs because they don't want an experimental vaccine to a few countries quarantining the unvaccinated, there is no other way to see this thing.

    And don't start with the vaccination part. The Delta variant was transmitted by the vaccinated, the Omicron variant is almost exclusively or exclusively been found in the vaccinated, so this separation of the vaxxed and unvaxxed is BS.

    Who closed small businesses? Was it any political party? Did they make a resolution on the Senate floor that said all small businesses need to cease operations? No, they didn't. So stop it with that tired talking point. If small businesses closed down due to the pandemic it was the fault of the pandemic, not politics.

    The people who lost their jobs because they didn't get a vaccine made a choice to lose their jobs. It's no different than if my job required a monthly drug screening test but instead of taking the test, I quit.
    The people in hospitals gasping for their last breath are still largely unvaccinated, so you got to stop with the obfuscation and misdirection.

    You need to go back to medical school because that is the only safe way to get beyond this pandemic.
