Fux Noise Doctor Says America Should Just 'Move Forward' and Let Omicron 'Circulate'

Covid-19 has now killed over 800,000 people in the United States. The nation crossed the threshold earlier this week, just in time for a Fox News medical corresponded to suggest America should do away with mandates and go ahead and let the new variant of the disease, Omicron, “circulate.”



“We should be able to move forward allowing the fact the virus is causing very mild illness in people who are vaccinated and younger populations, including those people who have become boosted,” Dr. Nicole Saphier, a radiologist, said Wednesday on Fox News. Saphier included the caveat that she is basing her conclusions on “preliminary data,” claiming that a “good amount of data” on Omicron from South Africa indicates it presents as more mild than prior variants.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has also said that early data indicates perhaps a milder illness, but he struck a more cautious note, adding that there could be other reasons symptoms haven’t been as bad in South Africa. “The level of severity appears to be maybe a bit less than Delta,” he said on Sunday. “But there are a lot of confounding issues there. It may be due to the underlying protection in the community due to prior infections, but these are just preliminary data that we’re going to have to just follow carefully to get them confirmed.”

Saphier went ahead and advocated for letting the Omicron variant run wild based on this preliminary information. “At this point, it is time to move forward and allow this mild infection to circulate so we can continue to build that hybrid immunity — the combination of vaccine-induced and natural immunity, which is proven to be the most robust form of immunity that will continue to build that wall of protection,” she said.

Does she have a medical degree or a history degree or what? Does she believe the vaccine causes you to be magnetic? A Fox doctor isn't necessarily a doctor.
