Fauci''s Finished

06:25pm, Tuesday, 21'st Dec 2021 Zero Hedge
Fauci''s Finished Authored by James Rickards via DailyReckoning.com, In a little under an hour, Joe Biden is expected to address the nation about the new Omicron variant of the virus. An aide claims the administration is prepared for the rising case levels and that Biden will explain how it will respond to this challenge. The Omicron variant is highly contagious. Some models, along with data from Europe, suggest the number of cases could potentially double every two days. Of course, you cant really trust models, but this variant is spreading rapidly. The good news is that it doesnt appear to be particularly dangerous. Symptoms are generally described as those of a mild cold. But you can expect Biden to dial up the fear tomorrow. Hes probably going to try to shame the unvaccinated and warn about a dark winter ahead because of their refusal to take the jabs. For the fully vaccinated, hes going to tell them to get the booster. Well have to see what else he has in store, but you can be sure it wont involve telling everyone to take hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin if they start showing symptoms.
