I’ve rounded up the best scientific opinions to share a consensus. 1/
I’ve been concerned about the rise of #COVID19 & hospitalizations this winter even before #OmicronVariant. The #Delta wave is bad enough - and capacity is now lower than last year in many parts. I shudder about what may happen when Omicron truly hits. 👇 https://t.co/t3aNCjlSfX

Even without Omicron, the US would be facing difficult months ahead. Plain truth: It's likely going to be a hard winter, but we can reduce Covid transmission and save lives by increasing vaccinations, masking up, and balancing risks and benefits.

The US will hit 800,000 Covid deaths by next wk. Without vaccine mandates we’ll reach one million Covid deaths in America by Q1-2 next yr. For last 6 months + from now until Q1-2 2022, almost all of these deaths among unvaccinated. Roughly 350,000 lives senselessly thrown away
