We've got actual numbers out of South Africa regarding Omicron.

Where 44% of Delta were requiring hospitalization, 1% of Omicron are requiring hospitalization. Of those requiring hospitalization, only 10% require oxygen, only 6% have died, and of those 6% 1/4 of them died from non-covid related issues.

So even including those who died of non-covid related issues, this makes the death rate from the variant .06% which is LESS than the .1% of the standard flu.

And I was hesitant to take a flu vaccine, I sure as hell am not going to take a vaccine with a 500x death and gimp rate of the flu vaccine to protect against something LESS deadly, nor are these ridiculous measures in any way even remotely justified.
