.....As of tonight, in this country of 334 million people, there are no confirmed deaths of the omicron variant of COVID. At the same time, just this month, many thousands of Americans have passed away from heart disease and cancer, suicide, diabetes, murder, drug overdoses, not to mention car accidents, Parkinson's, emphysema, Alzheimer's, asthma attacks, choking to death on lobster at a crowded restaurant, just to name a few causes. Lots of people still die in America, but they are not dying of omicron. No one in this country is.

And yet, it's omicron that our leaders and their vessels are suddenly hysterical about.

MICHAEL OSTERHOLM: And I think we're really just about to experience a viral blizzard.

ANDERSON COOPER: You hear Michael Osterheim say we're about to experience a viral blizzard.

WOLF BLITZER: One expert now warns of a viral blizzard.

DON LEMON: AS the country braces for a viral blizzard.

CNN REPORTER: There will be a viral blizzard of COVID cases.

KATE BOULDAN: The country is facing a viral blizzard.

CNN REPORTER: A COVID viral blizzard.

JIM SCIUTTO: A viral blizzard is about to hit the U.S.

CNN REPORTER: Infectious disease experts saying a, quote, viral blizzard is about to hit this country.

What is this stuff? Well, it's a viral blizzard. Is viral blizzard a scientific term? Well, as you just heard, it was coined by someone who calls himself a scientist. But actually, this is not the way scientists talk. Scientists don't make up phrases for political effect. They don't design language to be as frightening and imprecise as possible. That's not science. That's politics. That's what politicians do.
