| Topic | Omicron is now most common coronavirus variant in U.S. |
| adjl 12/21/21 9:55:10 AM #12: | MartianManchild posted... Friendly reminder that omicron was brought over to the US by a fully vaccinated individual(s). Maybe instead of forcing vaccinations on millions of individuals when obviously they didnt stop this latest variants, we stop the few people from traveling to foreign countries. Even at its strictest, locking down travel isn't a guarantee of safety. The world needs a certain degree of international travel to function, so there's always going to be some risk involved. The regions that have successfully kept Covid under control have generally done so by being very strict about how people come in and requiring incoming travellers to isolate for two weeks, but that's more than most Americans are willing to accept regardless of their views on vaccines, so I can't see that working. Moreover, while vaccination wouldn't have been perfect protection against Omicron arriving on US soil, a higher vaccination rate would nonetheless reduce its spread and severity (as well as doing the same for the variants already running rampant). I don't know why you people insist on treating vaccination as an all-or-nothing solution, but that's not how it works at all. --- This is my signature.
