Instead, Joe Biden repeated one of his popular campaign slogans by warning Americans that a \u201cvery long, dark winter\u201d is ahead of them.<\/p>\n<p>During a meeting with his COVID-19 response team, Biden trumpeted his administration\u2019s accomplishments against the virus while warning the public of the dangers posed by the Omicron variant. However, some of his comments contradicted available data. First, Biden announced the arrival imminent spread of the new variant in the United States.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI want to send a direct message to the American people,\u201d he stated. \u201cDue to the steps we\u2019ve taken, Omicron has not yet spread as fast as it would have otherwise done and as happened in Europe. But it\u2019s here now and it\u2019s spreading, and it\u2019s going to increase.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While there\u2019s no information showing any Biden administration policies have curbed Omicron, it\u2019s more contagious than previous incarnations of COVID-19. A recent study estimated Omicron to be approximately 70 times more transmissible than the Delta variant.<\/p>\n<p>However, data from South Africa showed Omicron cases to be far milder than that of other strains. Despite this, Biden continued by suggesting Omicron would ravage the unvaccinated and that vaccines as well as boosters are the only line of defense.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cFor unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death for unvaccinated,\u201d he asserted. \u201cFor themselves, their families and the hospitals they\u2019ll soon overwhelm. But there\u2019s good news: if you\u2019re vaccinated and you had your booster shot, you\u2019re protected from severe illness and death, period.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A study from Columbia University found current vaccines and booster shots to be relatively ineffective against Omicron. Furthermore, the United Kingdom is the only country to have suffered an Omicron fatality with only one death having been recorded as a result of the new variant.<\/p>\n<p>However, it seems all the Biden administration can offer the American people for Christmas is more boosters and possible restrictions for the unvaccinated.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"President Biden &amp; Vice President Harris Meet with Members of the White House COVID-19 Response Team\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZtEUVeiWD80?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/one-on-one-with-fla-state-sen-manny-diaz-jr-2\/\">One-On-One With Fla.
