Each day we move a little closer to the end of this seemingly endless pandemic.
And new COVID data is coming out like a fire hose these days.
First, we have news of a large study in California that compared Delta and Omicron and found Omicron is way milder. The Omicron death rate is 90 percent lower than Delta. Hospitalizations are fewer and shorter.
Of the first 52,000 Omicron cases there was only one death, seven people went into intensive care and not one Omicron case was put on a ventilator.
The study itself is here: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.01.11.22269045v1
There are also a lot of new studies from other places that are finding Omicron to be much milder than Delta. That should be comforting when you get infected with Omicron, assuming you haven't already had it.
Mathew Crawford has released a pre-print of a large California study that compared the results of COVID early treatment versus no COVID early treatment. The Early treatment groups had hospitalization and mortality rates more than 99 percent lower than the no treatment group. (There were two treatment groups. Both got vitamins. One got HCQ. The other got ivermectin.)

When the peer-reviewed version of this study comes out in ten days I expect all hell will break loose, as it will become clear that the Canadian and American Governments' official ideology that no early treatment is possible has been responsible for tens of thousands of preventable deaths in Canada, and hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths in the USA.
There's also now a database online of 1,000 research studies of vaccine side-effects: https://www.saveusnow.org.uk/covid-vaccine-scientific-proof-lethal/
There's an immense amount of data here if you click on the various links. Here's the first dozen just to give you an idea:
