New York City has a vaccine mandate and they have a mask mandate and yet they're still seeing a massive spike in the Omicron variant. So why are we seeing people freak out about a disease that has an extremly low death rate and is so contagious that you're not going to be able to stop the spread of it?
This is the same brain dead logic employed by the antivaxxers a year ago. Shapiro is either extremely stupid or simply disingenuous. We know that when cases skyrocket, it is typically a month or two before you see that translate to actual deaths. Omicron has only been in the USA a couple weeks now. Shapiro is seizing the moment to claim Omicron doesn't even kill people. Other Right Wing liars like Tucker Carlson went on the air just two days ago to claim Omicron hasn't claimed a single US death. Hannity did the same thing about COVID in Feb 2020. These are liars and despicable liars at that because they're encouraging people not to get vaccinated or boosted while creating more deaths, typically from their own voter base. That's how damned stupid these people are.
So why are we doing this stuff and why are we trying to freak everybody out?
This is another Shapiro lie and a straw man. No one has ever said "everybody freak out." Providing basic data and warnings is not freaking people out. In fact, the news is rather good for those of us who vaccinated and aren't trapped in a Right Wing vortex of BS.
The measures being taken now have repeatedly failed to stop the spread all over the world.
This is a lie. Virtually every study done has shown that mitigation measures have helped curb the spread of COVID. Shapiro is such a moron to use this argument, it is very much like saying seat belts are proven not to work because some people still die in car accidents.
There are people that are triple vaxxed who have gotten Omicron.
So what? No one ever said you couldn't get COVID after being vaxxed. In fact it was made perfectly clear that you could get it. What Shapiro ignores is the fact that getting COVID while vaxxed means you're FAR LESS LIKELY TO GET SICK OR SPREAD IT.
You are not going to be able to shut down the virus with boosters.
Straw man. No one ever said otherwise.
In Israel everyone got a booster and Omicron still spread.
Shapiro is lying by omission here. COVID spread and deaths in Israel have both plummeted over the past month.
The answer is that there is a COVID cult out there.
The only cult is the one Shapiro is leading in complete ignorance. And notice how they've been forced to shift their ground yet again because for two years we were told the LEFT only made up the COVID fears in order to hurt the sitting President's chances to win reelection. If they actually believed their own BS on that then we'd expect the LEFT to completely downplay COVID while the President is a Democrat. But that's not what we're seeing. Biden is being brutally honest with the American people, pointing out over and over again that the people at risk are the unvaccinated. The fact is if everyone on the planet were fully vaccinated we'd achieve herd immunity and COVID deaths worldwide would be less than what we experience with the flu. I've heard Fauci refer to herd immunity several times as the ultimate goal here, making Shapiro's "infinity" remark nothing short of moronic and deceptive
The goal is to freak out everyone.
And yet the only people freaking out are the idiots listening to Shapiro.
The CDC has claimed for two years now that if we only have faith in them that it will solve all of our problems.
Another worn out lie that has no merit, but gets traction because Shapiro's idiotic base is generally anti-government.
And yet we have been told that these government gods are going to fix our lives.
Repeating stupid lies won't make them true.
