'It is too early to be able to determine the precise severity of disease'
fauci is a fame whore, and many of us have been telling him to go pound sand for months.
Your quote of the media doctor and this link with other quotes from him is exactly why I ignore his "facts".

The funny thing is that the same people who claim SC2 came from a lab are saying that omicron came from a lab. They are equivalent to flat earthers or creationists. None of the known experiments done in Wuhan couldve possibly led to SC2.

Good grief. I know of another way to get protective antibodies with practically no risk. This one simple trick is something big virus doesn't want you to know...."Doctor explains how omicron variant could speed up end of COVID pandemic"

Dr. Houman Hemmati explained that, based on reports from South Africa, the omicron variant could provide many people with antibodies if it is highly infectious with a low chance of causing serious diseasewww.google.com

Nothing is ever 100% safe, so this is an incredibly lazy argument. Seatbelts shouldn't be compulsory either then, as there is a small chance they could trap you in a burning car for instance. If you are in favour of making everything voluntary, you are a radical ideologue, in my eyes.Medicine Should be Non-Violent ⋆ Brownstone Institute
Most people who choose to remain unvaccinated – like myself – do so not because we want to spread the virus to others or are against vaccinations in general, but because we have natural immunity and/or serious, data-driven questions about this particular vaccine.
"Unless you are 100% sure that this vaccine is 100% safe for 100% of those who take it (you aren’t), you have NO moral right to force or coerce it on ANYONE. In fact, choosing to do so is an evil action.”
"You can strongly recommend it. You can explain why you think the benefits are worth the drawbacks and/or risks. What you can’t do – if you want to stay on the right side of morality, that is – is impose a negative consequence for making the ‘wrong’ choice. THAT is coercion.”
Now if only Fauci et al & some of the tyrannical pro-mandate politicians would adhere to this.
The medical fraternity is still debating the pros and cons of aspirin. Most people thought it was necessary or a necessary evil especially in the early days of the pandemic. The pre antibiotic, polio vaxx, measles vaxx, rabies shot etc days wouldn't have been much fun either...............my brother isn't a dummy but he's anti vaxx and there's nothing to be done about it...........we converse as normal .............for the moment.........Medicine Should be Non-Violent ⋆ Brownstone Institute

Great points. And to take their argument at face value, they would also disagree with the mandatory smallpox vaccinations that led to its eradication. It would be immoral to rid the world of smallpox in their view. Just facile nonsense.
Houston is wild and wooly, don't see a lot of masks these days in most areas. Rural parts of the state never did much masking that I saw, and I travel all over the state frequently. We've only had one customer announce a vax requirement so far , and less than half of my service techs in the Houston office have taken the shots, so they're SOL if they have an emergency breakdown and only an anti vax guy is available. I'm curious to see if they hold to their policy.These numbers scared the forums. Shock

Thanks to your hard work, dedication, and sacrifices, we were able to collect and analyze critical data to track the virus’s impact on the greater Houston community. Your unwavering commitment to keeping our communities safe and healthy has truly made a difference in the fight against COVID-19...
Should we wager on the R number? By the way everyone is still out and live. Bars are bumping. Frank B can tell us.
No untrained rants or calling anyone a fascist please. Never know when the trigger comes. Dude straight up called me a fascist here unreal to take it like that.
The seatbelt analogy is such BS I get so tired of hearing that from the pro-vaxx disciples. When you strap on a seat belt you're not injecting a vaccine into your body, i.e., it's not a medical procedure/intervention that has potential side-effects & long-term risks. Just like when I wear a weight belt when I'm powerlifting at the gym or a helmet when riding, those don't carry a side-effect risk such as injecting or injesting a pharmaceutical. Furthermore, you need to familiarize yourself with informed consent & medical ethics involving medical procedures/interventions.
I don't understand the point you're trying to make with aspirin? It's not mandated or coerced on people. MDs recommend a daily baby aspirin to some of their older patients but by no means do they coerce or pressure their patients into taking it. Curious: Is your brother recommending people don't take vaccines or that he doesn't want to take them himself? Big difference - one aspect is truly "anti-vaxx" while the other is "pro-choice."
How can you make this claim with a straight face? You just posted that we can't tell whether the vaccine was safe or not. You are very clearly advocating for people to not get vaccinated for Covid-19.
No by your definition he's not anti vaxx, he's pro choice but he's also talking about supporting some politicians that I never thought he would be interested in. My point about aspirin is just that such an old drug is still contentious re its use so if that is the case why not not new vaccines as well ?I'm the same age as you or thereabouts and at least in my experience there wasn't much opposition in the past to taking vaccines as far as I remember but it seemed to take off in a big way with the autism debate and some parents claiming that their children became autistic re childhood vaccinations and the internet seemed to be fertile ground for growing that opposition. Since then opposition to government mandates and vaccinations has grown and become more vocal but it still hasn't stopped the majority of adult Australians getting double vaxxed. Some probably have medical exemptions as well or maybe even religious ones.
What about all the poor people who have a medical reason that does not allow them to get the vax?
These numbers here are skewed in my opinon. There are instances where someone dies with covid, not from covid and those are added to the numbers everyday.
