Ep. 7: Happy New Year - Our Date with Omicron

Happy New Year, y'all! Let's put 2021 and the 'VID to bed!
The data seem to show Omicron is highly transmissible and very mild. CDC is putting its prevalence at 60-75%. The data also seem to show that Omicron breaks through prior immunity from both the vaccine and natural infection. Combine that with NYE, where millions pack into small places to dance, kiss, drunkely yell & sing, and ritually make out at midnight. I'm calling the superest of super-spreaders. This will surely lead to some bad outcomes for some, the law of large numbers and all, but, in the end, it will likely get us on our way to widespread natural/herd immunity. In other words, tonight is our collective date with Omicron.
Thankfully, the wise rulers of major US cities are putting vax mandates in place after the new year. B/c that makes sense.
Topics: COVID, Omicron, Vaccine mandates (Boston, DC, Chicago), Data, Scare Tactics, Breakthroughs, Super-spreaders
Mentioned: Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. John Campbell
UPDATE, 12/31: I insinuated Dr. Campbell was an MD, which I had assumed. (Bad, John, Bad!) He's actually a PhD in nursing, a retired nursing prof and textbook author. I don't think this makes him any less qualified to review data. Personally, I hate when anyone who isn't an MD/DO refers to him or herself as "doctor." While his bio is on his YouTube page and elsewhere online, I do think he should be more clear with his credentials.
