covid. and now they're over it and they have immunity. there is the relief of any parent that they got through it safely. so, you know, i'm feeling better than i did a month ago. >> so you thought about letting it rip, right? everyone get omicron and get immunity. but you quickly changed your mind. why is that? >> yeah, i think to clarify the fauci comment, too, i don't think he is endorsing let it rip. i think he is being fatalistic. i am less fatalistic. i think there are two big reasons not to let it rip. there are lots and lots of reasons. but number one is it is still -- omicron is killing people. you know, 1800 deaths today. probably most of them from omicron. many more will die. to let it rip intentionally would get a whole lot of people sick faster, and we would lose a lot of people especially those with weakened immune systems.
