France, Emergency Medicine Drs grim accounts of the 'mild' Omicron variant: and their battles with conspiracy theorists and the 'Covid is a cold' lie:

Dec 24: 318 already in hospital with 76 needing life saving treatment:

The number has risen to 581 and 123 needing life saving treatment: nearly doubling....30 more patients hospitalised in just one day: 'omicron supposedly only a cold'....

There are many gullible fools who believe in the 'just a cold' lie: the Dr reports seeing them on a regular basis: they are victims of the lies, but they are also thick enough to believe them: a sad state of affairs when about to be placed on a vent to likely die:

The Dr tell us about Ivermectin: unless you are a horse with worms it is useless...

'The staff are exhausted, the staff are sick, the staff stop this job because they can't take it anymore, and it's a global problem'

The learn to live with countries are decimating healthcare systems & the people who work in them: there is no way we can ever live with this virus

The Dr offers commentary on the conspiracy theories here—and quite funny it is:

All of the hallmarks of Omicron are here: now she talks about the trademark child surge: a staple of the omicron variant:

She notes the usual cover up for the kid's surge: saying that almost all kid's are admitted for (red) not with (blue) covid: the paediatric denial is yet another staple of Omicron, though there is always blanket denial of how serious Covid is in children: Omicron is much worse:

'we are told of a decline' while the chart shows an ever increasing number of patients: the usual 'it's peaked' lie—seen in every country that Omicron is unleashed:

Omicron is not mild or a cold: YOU THICK TWATS WHO THINK THAT.

'Colds do not overload the healthcare system to the point of permanently undermining the care of other patients and the motivation of caregivers"

3 THINGS WORK TO STOP THE PANDEMIC:

MASKS

VENTILATION

VACCINES

The thing we also have to remember is this Dr isn't just abused by anti-vaxxers and Covid deniers: she has to treat these morons when they show up gasping for air or going into acute respiratory distress, or having a seizure:

Sounds like France has a big problem with people faking vaccine passports: she encourages those with fake vaccine passports to get vaccinated: how terrible that people are faking that: all for what, to pay to get Covid in a bar? fucking idiots.
