    He can't mandate vaccinations.

    He can't be blunt.

    He can't be empathetic.

    He can't be persuasive.

    Simply put, he cannot reach these people. But, the virus can.

    well, among other things this "winter of death" White House holiday card is a Pinocchio or two's worth of prevarication and provocation

    If they die they die. Won’t be heaven waiting for them but it’ll be better than the hell they live now.

    so what? the point is that Biden could (at least theoretically) swallow his pride and partner up with his predecessor in order to reach and influence the people that the predecessor is quite possibly the only one they will listen to

    1000 people have been dying a day before omicron. If that goes back to 4K a day, that’s doom and gloom even if mortality is 1%. Hospitals being filled for the next 4-6 weeks with COVID patients is grim.

    Would you go to a Rockets (or Knicks idgaf) game if you had a 1:100 chance of dying. 1:1000? 1:10000?

    You can’t reach them. Trump didn’t create them he harnessed them. They’ve always been there.

    So, what is the problem with this message? Just because some will ignore the warning doesn’t mean it’s inaccurate.

    And at the same time the former President can concede he lost the election. You’re dreaming if you think Biden would the holdup with this eggnog summit.

    Cornell University reports more than 900 Covid-19 cases this week. Many are Omicron variant cases in fully vaccinated students
    https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/14/us/cornell-university-covid-cases/

    New York state reports highest number of daily Covid cases of entire pandemic at more than 21,000
    https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/17/new...es-of-entire-pandemic-at-more-than-21000.html

    So Cornell has 99% of their students vaccinated, and they just shut down in person classes again due to rise in cases.

    NY has ~70% of their population vaccinated and just had the highest # of daily covid cases of the entire pandemic.

    YUP, the vaccine is working alright... :confused:

    Yes, the vaccine is working incredibly well. In their last peak in Jan 2021 with around 16k cases per day, there were 9,200 in the hospital and 1600 in the ICU. They currently have 4000 in the hospital and 770 in the ICU. So considerably more cases, yet less than half the amount of people in the ICU.

    Compared those numbers to the first peak in April 2020 when there were 18,000 in hospitals and 5,200 in the ICU.

    Yeah but omnicron is basically a different virus
    It’s not comparing apples to apples

    also the vaccine is a lie, there’s more than one
    There’s many vaccines and it’s proven the JJ vaccine is basically useless against omnicron
    I think only smart people realize that Moderna is the only vaccine they should get cause the other ones aren’t effective

    The winter of death label scares me. The last time leftists named a season was in 2020 and the summer of love was deadly af
