Thank You for the explanationThe problem with Omicron is not that it is more deadly, or even as deadly. The problem is that it is the most transmissible and quite simply, the more time this virus gets to spend in human hosts, the more it will continue to mutate and change. This means more variants with different characteristics like Delta which has proven to be quite dangerous to vulnerable people. It also makes it harder to have a vaccine that provides blanket protection when you have tons of variants. It is likely that the Omicron variant wouldn't even exist if everyone who had access to the vaccine had opted to get it at their first opportunity, and this continues to be the case right now. It was first detected in South Africa but that's only because that country has been better about testing and reporting to the WHO, and the result was travel bans and sanctions for that part of the world. This ends up creating a disincentive to other countries to test and report new variants because they can't economically handle being sanctioned by big economies like the US. This is a failure of the Biden administration but I have no doubt that whatever party or person had been in office would have done the same thing because the optics of doing something that people THINK is protective of our country is more appealing politically than explaining the nuances of solving this problem to a bunch of knuckleheads who don't have the capacity to hold complex ideas in their heads.
I value your opinion more than anyone else in this matter because I know you as a truthful person and not influenced by political or financial gains
Thank You
