Coronavirus week 96: Omicron and herd immunity

Infection-based immunity to Omicron is less potent than vaccine-based immunity, just like with Delta. Keep that in mind the next time a winger talks about "natural immunity." (Also remember that vaccines are made by human beings and thus natural.)

The White House wants to move the public mindset from pandemic to endemic. Fauci already hinted at this. But, this is as much perception as anything. Can it pull it off? Color me half-skeptical. The tribalism that COVID has fostered, mainly among wingers, but also among Blue Anons who believe Fauci can do no wrong and has done none, is part of the problem.

At least in Texas, and probably nationwide, the pandemic has exacerbated teen girls' suicide rate. The lack of mental health for such kids nationally, and above all in last-ranking (shock me) Tex-ass, is disgusting.

Vermont shows the benefits of vaccination.
