Republicans oppose pro-COVID stance as Omicron threatens winter storm surge

As you may have heard by now, Variant COVID-19 omicron was detect in more than 30 countries, including the United States, and it terrifies people. That may have something to do with the fact that the variant before it, delta, has been damned this year as a tiny, tiny normal that can revert to the hellish existence we’ve lived in since. from March 2020, and the idea of ​​how long a pandemic will be to God seems unthinkable.

While there are still many unknowns about omicrons, scientists To speak it has mutations that can allow it to spread faster than delta. What To be It is known that public health experts are essentially begging unvaccinated people to do the same and that those who have not been vaccinated with boosters get vaccinated as soon as possible. That advice is being given by people who don’t want to see Americans get very sick and possibly die, and with the knowledge that the unvaccinated 20 times According to recent state research, they are more likely to lose their lives to COVID-19 than those who are fully vaccinated.

We’ve seen in the course of this pandemic that Democrats are comfortable being petty tyrants and dictate that you follow their medical duties.” Apparently, his little story isn’t about statistics exit from his state health department said last month that of the nearly 29,000 Texans who have died from COVID-related illnesses since mid-January 2021, only 8% of them have been fully immunized against virus. Or that “tyrants” often don’t ask people to take care of their health, which would make them, like the most caring tyrants ever.

And where are we on Clorox Free? Is that still a no-go or…?
