Unvaccinated Americans’ concern about the new omicron variant plunged at the end of December despite rising Covid-19 cases and hospitalizations that leave them most at risk, a new Morning Consult poll finds, as Americans broadly aren’t growing more concerned about the new variant or changing their lifestyles despite cases reaching record levels.
Concern about omicron among the unvaccinated dropped from 52% to 44% between December 24 and 30, the Morning Consult poll found, which was conducted among 2,220 U.S. adults.
Concern levels held steady among the vaccinated (going from 80% to 79%), while concern among all respondents went down from 72% to 68%.
The plunging concern may at least be partially due to evidence suggesting the variant causes less severe disease than earlier strains, Morning Consult notes, though the World Health Organization has cautioned more studies are needed before drawing conclusions about the variant’s severity.
The share of total respondents who said they’re “very concerned” about coronavirus outbreaks in general declined slightly from 43% to 41%—though that’s slightly up from 38% who were concerned in early December before the variant took hold.

What, me worry?
For someone who supposedly reads all the articles on FreeRepublic, including all the evidence of deaths and injuries, you’ve quite possibly, provided the best example of projection ever!
Congratulations!
I know a bunch of fat people that never change their habits even though being a fat ass is the worst comorbidity associated with covid. A lot more than two.
If you were smart, you would know N=2 is largely meaningless.
Go get your fourth shot genius.
Had it. Coughed and reclined on the couch for a few days and survived. I got the original vax and also had original Covid before the vax.
My brother in Texas is triple vaxxed, had delta last February and just got Covid again last week (probably Omicron)
Hospitalizations BECAUSE of Omicron infections or WITH Omicron infection.
If every broken leg victim gets a positive COVID test then who cares?
I personally know 4 previously healthy co-workers that “died unexpectedly” after getting the vax. I’ll take my chances with mother nature.
I talked with a close friend today who says most of the jabbed in their office are out sick right now. My friend isn’t jabbed and continues to work on projects for the company. Just some interesting info for the thread.
Imagine getting 3 Polio vaccines in a year and then getting Polio.
“I personally know two rabid anti-vaxxers who have died from Covid. I don’t think most anti vaxxers are that smart. “
What an ass. You sound exactly like a lib. Pathetic.
the vast majority of us are not anti vaxxers at all
Just not taking this one when the actual risk from covid is so low.
IF the actual risk form covid was that great they wouldnt have to be pushing this so hard.
A family member just found out that 5 guys they went to college with died suddenly within 2 weeks of each other and not of a virus. My family member is very shaken up about it.The deceased were all previously healthy men in their early 60's. Not sure of their jab status but very suspect and freaky. One of them developed an unexplained "rare blood cancer" and was gone in 3 months.
Lots of bad adverse events happening from the injections. I know factually of many impacted.
I personally know of someone who died FROM the jab. It was recommended - by his rabid, pro-jab doctor - that he take the $hots, even though he was healthy (no co-morbidities, no meds) and had had and completely recovered, in 2020, from china virus.
I don't think his doc was very smart. Should I think this friend wasn't smart, as well?
Geez.
If something is worth saying once, it's worth saying three times!
:^)
Let's not get too involved in people's intimate details.
Of course we’re not. We have brains and know how to engage them.
Omicron little more than a cold. Like people have never been sick before.
Highly informed and unvaxxed by choice.
Had the Rona last week.
54 yrs old, normal BMI, 2-3x’s/week exercise [break a sweat or its worthless]. Took D3, Zinc, C, and ibuprofen upon first suspicion [like every other cold/flu in my life] once a day.
Recovered within 2 days of symptom onset. No worse than any common cold I’ve had.
So no, not worried, won’t get worried, nothing to be worried about. The lefty hysteria doesn’t penetrate.
So you think ppl who took an experimental vaccine with less than 9 months of trials using a novel method of delivery are the smart ones based on the fact that you know 2 unvaccinated ppl who died from Covid
The govt would never lie. 😂
Just keep getting your soon-to-be weekly/daily boosters, and you'll be just fine, and smart, too!
Everyone will catch it. Individuals can decide how to go about it.
