Dec 9 (Reuters) - U.S. regulators on Thursday expanded eligibility for COVID-19 vaccine booster shots to 16- and 17-year-olds, as public health officials have urged Americans to get a third shot due to concerns about the new Omicron variant.

Even WHO says no-one has died from Omicron (whilst still commending drug makers for making a special Omicron vaccine)

This could be the next battle - getting politicians and health experts to 'let go'. Sounds simple enough - you'd think everyone would be overjoyed the pandemic is waning - but will they be willing to relinquish all that money/power? Or will their desire to 'keep us safe' prove too strong?

Covid has been a huge hack for Big-Everything authorities re their wet-dream of mass bio-surveillance. That's been achieved in spades. You can't go shopping without scanning your vax-ap on your phone while public sentiment has been leveraged animal farm style to vilify/isolate anyone questioning that. We're a short hop and step away from a DNA app on your phone to gain free entrance into the new-normal society.

It's back to the line from the John Donne poem:

As princes do in time of action get
New taxes, and remit them not in peace
No winter shall abate the spring’s increase

Was the power/money bonanza from Covid for Scio-politics a lucky coincidence from a lab-accident caused by the same industry? It's either that or it was a deliberate release.
