Yea....because this shit being over totally depends on whatever the virus does 
Just like the Patriot Act was over when they killed Osama.
Elites riding on top of useful idiots are cornering us into a dystopian hellscape, without return ticket.

And honestly it looks like this is an unintentional lab leak that the big powers took an advantage of. We don't have the tech to control a virus yet. At least AFAIK.
It will be very interesting to see how the Western governments will react to Omicron if it really turns out to be so mild. It will be disgusting if they continue with the lockdowns and mandatory vaccinations.

I agree, but thankfully the political situation is a bit unstable right now, there are many political parties and the government needs a big coalition to work. The sentiment right now is not to piss off the public because every party could easily lose its place in parliament. With vaccination rates around 26-27 % a mandatory vaccination can cause the end of any chance to form a government and can lead to the 4th elections in a year.
Bodies show different resistance to the vaccine. fatigue, Headaches go on for weeks, other things as well. arm pain at location of jab can also be mentioned. According to research 30-40 age group one of the lowest ranges of concern for clotting(miniscule number of reported blood clotting cases caused by the astrazeneca vaccine).
Great point about the fish consumption.
The performance thing is a ruse, though. Western society sells everyone the myth that you can control your longevity, health, relationships, etc., by taking micro-actions that you and only you can do. It's the myth that if I gulp 500mg of vitamin L every day, I will never get cancer. And there are businesses who prey on that, even if I cannot blame them. People have a foundational need to believe they are in control of everything.
In Covid-related terms, this is the individualistic version of what we see in governments that feel they have to do something to demonstrate and act as if in control, even when they are not. Many of us humans would rather do something to make themselves feel in control just for the illusion of it.
Looks like all this BS will soon be over
I have to like the Omicron branding in all that. Who does their marketing, btw?
Looking forward to the "Good King Omicron" Christmas carol they're gonna drop any day now.
Here's the crux of this challenge, though. Yes, if the vaccines work -- and they are only one element of what I feel needs to be a multi-prong strategy -- people who get Covid won't suffer as much. Great. But right now, our definition for getting into planes, let alone restaurants, is infection. Which is a whole other definition.
Because if this virus trajectory goes the way we want towards the endemic -- where it's relatively benign and commonplace -- the measures we take for infection are going to have to change. Because we don't prevent people coming into restaurants because they have the flu (which we probably should) or a basic sniffles and head-cold. If that's the standard, that won't make any sense as the virus becomes more harmless and ubiquitous.
We cannot be quarantining people for 10 days in hotels after coming down with a head cold every time they want to get on an airplane, especially as we desire the virus to spread with lower efficacy.
