The biggest logical fallacy I've noticed during the pandemic is people making definitive statements like yours while the science remains uncertain and changing.
I don't know how much weight to put on this news snippet from yesterday from a Dutch scientist saying they're seeing people that got infected with Omicron getting reinfected with new Omicron subvariant BA.2: https://nyheder.tv2.dk/2022-01-21-ny-omikron-variant-spreder-sig-du-kan-muligvis-blive-smittet-to-gange-siger-ssi-forsker https://nyheder.tv2.dk/2022-01-21-ny-omikron-variant-spreder...
- Gibbon1 5y agoI always ask myself when someone makes a definitive statement if they actually have a way of knowing that. That detector has been off the charts this whole pandemic. The usual suspects proclaimed Omicron was 'mild' whatever that actually means well before any data was available to show either way. It's looking more and more like Omicron isn't mild. In particular it's producing worse infections in children. Not to mention it's immune escape means it's infecting vaccinated people. Mild infection in vaccinated people vs no infection in vaccinated people as you had with other variants.
