Deaths last month were worse than in April 2020, and cases are simply to the moon.
Deaths are likely to remain high in February given such astronomical case figures in January, even if Omicron is less deadly. There's just too many of them.
Vaccines worthy of the name should have destroyed these trend lines by now. It's been over a year.
They have not.
This is vaccine failure writ large. Moving the goal posts to requiring 70, 80, 90% vaccinated is simply an admission of defeat.
"When you get to somewhere between 40-50% [vaccinated], I believe you’re going to start seeing real change, the start of a precipitous drop in cases”. -- Anthony Fauci, Apr 28, 2021, in The Wall Street Journal
