Corona Virus Peak Watch Thread

Up until Omicron hit, we never went over a million new cases per day in the world.

Now we are up to 3 million.

And that's just the ones we know about.

We still have not exceeded our previous peak for the number of people in serious and critical condition.

But if we keep going like this it won't be long.

We also have not exceeded the previous peak of number of new deaths in one day.

Same deal, there. That will also happen soon if we keep going like this.

Omicron is still quite deadly. We, the healthy, blow if off at the expense of others' lives.
 
Boosters are over

Now the World Health Organization has waved the white flag on Covid vaccine boosters too.

WHO released a statement about Covid vaccines yesterday. It’s filled with the usual public health jargon and ass-covering, but one line stands out:

a vaccination strategy based on repeated booster doses of the original vaccine composition is unlikely to be appropriate or sustainable.

It’s over, people.

Aside from a few unlucky Israelis, no one is going to receive a fourth dose of the original vaccine; everyone with eyes can see it doesn’t work against Omicron. (And if you haven’t gotten a third dose, at this point, why would you? You are getting at most weeks of marginally improved protection for potentially severe side effects.)

Instead the WHO is now promising/demanding vaccines based on whatever the dominant Sars-Cov-2 strain is at the moment.

That promise is as empty as all the others the health bureaucrats and vaccine companies have made.

At least five major variants (“variants of concern”) have developed in the last year, and two have become globally dominant. Even the mRNA vaccines cannot be cooked up and delivered fast enough to match whatever strain of virus becomes dominant. Covid is faster than the scientists.
