Only 3 days to wait till I can book my booster.

Now they're getting the statistics gathered up in SA, they seem to think this new variant doesn't actually make you as ill as previous variants.

Oh these anti vax lot are so smart they worked it out because Omicron is an Anagram of Moronic they have sussed its all a conspiracy

Not really a surprise as I have talked about in this thread before as viruses mutate they have two main goals to become more contagious but less deadly,

Been out shopping this morning. Still lots of people not wearing masks.

South Africa are upset by the cancellation of flights to their country. They claim that they are being signalled out because they have excellent testing facilities, and were able to spot the variant.

You could put much of that down to the fact that the none mask wearers don't use the official news sources & really on made-up stuff on social media.

Social media companies need to be held accountable for allowing the spread of conspiracy theories, false information etc.
Yes, we'd still have the papers doing their usual shit stirring and spreading lies and misinformation (and idiots would still believe it all), but social media is everywhere, which is the problem. We need the social companies to act more responsibly or be forced to, it's as simple as that.
Brexit lies were an issue, Trump lies are still an issue, but they are nothing compared to the trouble that's been caused due to the conspiracy theories and misinformation that's been spread about the virus and vaccines. It needs to be stopped, and some people need to be silenced.
Freedom doesn't mean you have the right to risk lives, so be responsible or be forced into being responsible, for the sake of others.

As many of the medical experts have stated this is now mainly a killer of the unvaccinated. I find it surprising that governments are not making more of the facts about age and vaccination status of those hospitalized and who sadly die.
