Recently, the American immunologist and pediatrician Paul Offit sat around the dinner table.
Then a fully vaccinated friend asked him about this:
– How about just getting omikron on purpose and getting it over with? The variant is mild, right? And afterwards you are protected.
In a post on CNNs website Offit writes that he gasped when asked the question.
Now he strongly warns against getting infected on purpose.

– Release omikron
More studies suggests that the omicron variant leads to less serious disease than the delta variant – especially among the vaccinated.
On Sunday, Oslo City Councilor Raymond Johansen, who himself has had omikron, out and spoke out in favor of “releasing the omikron in society”.

In a post in VG he and health councilor Robert Steen (Labor Party) wrote this:
“If we are all to get corona at some point, which is a lot to suggest, we must ask ourselves whether in the long run it is as good to get the infection rates up as it is to get them down. Understand us right: of course we should not have uncontrolled spread of infection now. But if we are to avoid new waves of infection and shutdown next winter, it may be preferable to have higher infection rates during a period when immunity is high after the vaccines. “
It is not so wise to release the infection, we must believe Paul Offit.
Called vaccinated “idiots” – now she’s dead
Five good reasons
Offit, who is the director of the vaccine education center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, points out to CNN five reasons why it is foolish to get infected with omikron on purpose:
- It’s not a “cold”
The doctor points to a recent study from the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), where over one million people have participated.
The study shows that the risk of serious illness and death is still high for people over 65 – even if they are fully vaccinated.
The same applies to people with diabetes and / or chronic neurological diseases, as well as kidney, heart, lung or liver disease.
Flee after infection flight
– Uncomfortable as this may be, this is just one of many health concerns that can last and last after covid-19, writes Offit.
Dagbladet has previously written that for a long time there have been reports of people who experiencing persistent symptoms long after undergoing coronavirus disease, so-called long covid, such as «brain fog».
Cuts sick pay to unvaccinated people
- You can spread the disease to children
Offit refers to CDCs figures show that just over half of American children between the ages of 12 and 17 are fully vaccinated.
Only 23 percent of American children between the ages of 5 and 11 have received the first dose.
In this country 336,000 children between the ages of 12 and 17 were vaccinated this autumnt.
Nine-year-old got “covid eye”: – Could have gone blind
- You can charge the health service
Over the weekend, a quarter of the 5,000 hospitals reporting to the U.S. Department of Health suffered from what the Department calls “critical staff shortages,” CNN writes.
Died the day after horror diagnosis
- Not meat with mother earth
– Has it ever been wise to get a disease on purpose, Offit asks, and continues:
– Not meat with mother earth. She has been trying to kill us ever since we crawled out of the sea and went ashore, he concludes.
Turned around vaccine: – I knew I might get sick
– You’re crazy if you do
Director of the Havey Institute for Global Health at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago agrees and warns against the trend of being intentionally infected.
– This is spreading among all types of people – the vaccinated and those with boosters and vaccine opponents. You’re crazy if you try to get infected with it. It’s like playing with explosives, he says.
