Social media censors one of the most respected groups in medicine
A few days ago, Instagram censored the Cochrane Collaboration, one of the most respected and widely used information sources in medicine. This was completely ridiculous.
We have some reasonable data now on how severe omicron disease is. The good news is that it appears to be much less severe than Delta.

This new omicron variant of concern is all over the news. We know very little about it other than early epidemiology and genomic information. I saw it all over the popular press so I tried to find primary scientific sources for it. There are essentially none. In this video, I'll talk about what little we DO know and will make another video when actual new information comes out.

CDC MMWR data shows that the best protection is a combination of vaccination and natural immunity but that natural immunity alone is just as good if not better than vaccine immunity alone.
Let's be clear, this video is NOT suggesting that people purposely go and get infected to try to get immunity. That would be dumb.

Predictions on will we have another winter covid surge which would make it the 5th wave I guess?
I suspect we will have continuous cyclical surges that will be trend to be less and less severe with less deaths per infection as treatments improve.
