Its hard to have a discussion about the mob mentality and negativity of social media because the right has politicized cancel culture but fuck it imo. Too many losers on this site get a dopamine rush from attacking people and reading every statement in the worst way possible.

If they revised last week's figure from 73% to 22% (!!!!!!! Seriously WTF?!?!?) I think we have to assume the CDC's method is crap and should be ignored going forward.
Jason Gallagher @JGPharmD
CDC estimates of circulating variants including week of 12/25. Notably week of 12/18 estimate of Omicron revised from ~73% to 22.5% (just a tad different!).
Now saying 58.6% of variants are Omicron nationwide. 1/ https://t.co/duYpLSEXQm

GOOD. They deserve it for developing the vaccine. It’s a freaking miracle. https://t.co/JU2CjPeOEN

The vaccine is 100% effective at enriching Big Pharma.

Biden’s performance has been imperfect, but “offering different guidance as the situation changes” is not a particularly hard idea to understand.

In half a year, Biden's "simple" message went from either get vaxxed OR wear a mask to get vaxxed and boosted AND wear a mask. https://t.co/v6tELsIYDM

As an outsider to this culture, I feel that it's a dead end. How long can people exist and thrive in an environment where everyone is expected to denounce someone else in order to raise their own profile and prestige? Eventually it just eats itself.

So a mere 6 hours before Lindsay Ellis posted her “I’m quitting because of you toxic cancelers”, she scolded a creator for including someone in a video because the person made problematic comments at one point.
BOY, this woman makes it very hard for me to feel sorry for her. https://t.co/W8cYaR6xhh

Two things can be, and are, true:
1. We should have far more rapid tests approved and distributed, and there’s been both an FDA and administration failure here.
2. Rapid tests, within any real world usage level we’ve seen, will not contain Omicron.
