Golf Champion Phil Mickelson Asks a Key Question About the Panic Over Omicron by Katie Pavlich for Town Hall
GNN Note – If we journalist anywhere these types of questions would not come from athletes, but from journalist. Instead we have people reporting on what athlete’s, and other regular citizens are asking instead of getting in-depth reporting, serious questions and real push-back from the media. / END
Professional Golf Champion Phil Mickelson took to Twitter this week to ask a basic question about the latest variant of Wuhan coronavirus.
Serious question since Iâm not a dr. If omicron is contagious but not deadly(25,000 cases in Africa with no deaths) why try and control it? Why not let it go and let people get it and develop immunity? Especially for those who wonât get vaccinated? Pls no hate, Iâm just curious.

Hospitalization rates for the variant continue to be low and symptoms during infection are mild.
“South Africa delivered some positive news on the omicron coronavirus variant on Friday, reporting a much lower rate of hospital admissions and signs that the wave of infections may be peaking,” Bloomberg reports. “Only 1.7% of identified Covid-19 cases were admitted to hospital in the second week of infections in the fourth wave, compared with 19% in the same week of the third delta-driven wave, South African Health Minister Joe Phaahla said at a press conference.”

Mickelson’s question comes as the Biden administration and blue city mayors around the country double down on vaccine mandates and other restrictions. Dr. Anthony Fauci has indicated the definition of “fully vaccinated” may soon require a booster despite the virus spreading rapidly among those who have taken the shot.
