White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said preliminary data indicates omicron is less severe than delta.

"It was shown that the virus of omicron proliferates very well in the upper airway and bronchi, but actually very poorly in the lungs," Fauci said. While this does not definitively prove omicron is more mild, it is consistent with the variant transmitting very quickly but causing less severe lung infections," he said.

Fauci warned that even if omicron proves less severe, the variant is spreading so quickly that it could still produce a large number of patients who do require hospital care, straining the nation's health-care system. "A certain proportion of a large volume of cases no matter what are going to be severe," Fauci said. "So don't take this as a signal that we can pull back from the recommendations."

Ironically, in Jan/Feb of 2020 I was a huge fan of Fauci and continued to be well into 2020. Yet for some reason, unfortunately, I find him less and less credible. While I think he is right that Omicron is less deadly - his and the CDC's credibility has been hugely tarnished.
