Omicron: Natural immunity idea ‘not really panning out'

    Going to interrupt here. This is what many folks have been saying all along as to why "infections" - which are being counted purely on positive PCR test - is unreliable. Especially in how sensitive these particular PCR tests are. But this was heresy to state back in the April 2020 timeframe, and those medical professionals who did were attacked and ostracized.

    If true, and this is an "if" no matter what silly claims you make (because you can't tell if previous infection makes it so Omicron infection is milder or not - probably is), its a good thing that Omicron is a watered down version of a virus that only affected the elderly and unhealthy in the first place to the extent it did (in large part).

    Omicron affects children more than Delta did.

    Which is why the best defense is, was and will always be, being healthy - not obese, eating right, good levels of Vit D, etc. all the things that are poo-poo'd by the "experts".

    Please post the number of children who died from Omicron so that we might figure out the level of seriousness of the virus in children.

    Multiple studies showing this... here is just on reminder.

    Unvaccinated people who catch Delta strain have very little protection against Omicron infection

    Ah, The Sun! Credible reporting from the man so critical of all outlets. Tell me, is this on par with "BlogMickey" or better?

    This is the headline from your above article:

    MUTANT VIRUS
    Unvaccinated people who catch Delta strain have very little protection against Omicron infection, scientists fear


    Some choice comments from that "article":

    Top docs measured the antibody response of volunteers who had previously tested positive for the Delta strain.

    The spread makes it more vital than ever for vaccine volunteers to sign up to The Sun's Jabs Army campaign.

    The Medical University of Innsbruck study - which did not take into account T cell and B cell immunity due to them being difficult to measure - did say that having had the Delta strain and being double jabbed makes Brits "super immune".

    Hospitalizations of children reach new records with Omicron every week. Yet this is not enough for you... you continually whine "Where are the dead children -- unless there are piles of dead children it does not hurt children".

    Kids’ Covid Hospitalizations Hit Record in U.S. Omicron Surge
    • Childhood admissions rose 66% in a week; deaths remain low
    • Kids and adolescents are least likely to be vaccinated

    "Rose 66% in one week!"

    Did it go from 5 to 8? Hard to read the article - behind a paywall.

    Read this thread (toward the end) before you post anything more on this. By the way, deaths should not be the only criteria. A hospitalization means something serious is happening.
