Ben Shapiro: “Omicron is just a mental condition” Written by Media Matters Staff Published 02/04/22 10:06 AM EST Video file Citation From the February 3, 2021, edition of The Daily Wire's The Ben Shapiro Show BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): See, the thing is, you actually have to let Omicron fade if Omicron is going to fade. Because at this point, Omicron is just a mental condition. Omicron is not even a tremendous physical threat to the American people at this point because cases have been declining so steeply -- and, by the way, pretty much everybody has either been vaxxed or had natural immunity at this point by the stats. But it doesn't matter. You keep treating it as a crisis.
