On Sunday, Former FDA commissioner and Pfizer board member, Dr. Scott Gottlieb suggested that there is no evidence that the omicron variant causes more severe illness than previous COVID-19 strains — and it may be due to “baseline immunity.”

In an interview on CBS News’ "Face The Nation," Gottlieb stated that he believes many people either have been ill or are vaccinated.

“There's no indication that it causes more severe illness,” he declared.
