No. Smart people with big money do not look to cnn, msnbc and fox for virus information. they consult with actual unbiased scientists behind the scene. no selling going on.
The markets saw the South African data weeks ago that Omicron was mild. Politicans used Omnicron as an excuse to push vacination agenda, even though Omicron is going to act as a great natural vacine to those who survice it.
They've been pushing vaccinations long before Omicron. In fact, the mandates (vaccine and mask wear) really started when the Delta Variant hit and some states begin trying to ban face mask wear from schools. Now with Omicron, they're pushing heavily the Boosters for those already fully vaccinated and shutting down air travel from South Africa. Right now, Delta variant is still causing severe illness, hospitalization, ICU admission, and Death. Some states are nearing capacity again like last year. Patients in the hospitals are mainly sick from the Delta Variant. In contrast, they're just warning people about Holiday travel, celebrations and not to be shocked when Death reaches their loved ones or friends. Yet, in Europe, they've really step up there aggressiveness to those that are not vaccinated via using health passports to enter restaurants and events along with restrictive curfews against those not vaccinated. Also, I do notice some Universities shutting down early for the Christmas Holidays/New Years and some sports league postponing games but that's not the government's doing. If the markets drop, the government will step in a prop it back up...ensuring that the wealthy get more wealth and the poor get poorer just like they did last year in 2020. wrbtrader
