We are intent on not letting Omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You’ve done the right thing, and we will get through this.
For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm.
I wonder how the unvaccinated will react to this message. In today’s politicized/polarized context, it sounds like deliberately-thinly veiled glee/schadenfreude.
Definitely reads like a thinly veiled threat of some sort combined with a bit of fear-mongering. Especially given that factually, the statement looks false on its face, given that unvaccinated largely already have previous infection and Omicron seems more mild compared to other variants.
It certainly seems to be optimising for blame-avoidance rather than persuasion. I don’t recall a “death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm” section in “How to win friends and influence people”.
Presumably it’s knee-jerk ass-covering and incompetence, rather than moustache-twirling villainy. Either way, hard to imagine its having a net positive impact.
