The Covid fear factory is trembling
American Thinker ^ | 26 Dec, 2021 | S.R. Piccoli

Hard times are coming for vaccine fanatics and fear-mongering lockdown enthusiasts, or at least that’s what we can reasonably expect after reading the news coming out of South Africa and the U.K. about the Omicron variant. As a matter of fact, the data out of South Africa after five weeks of Omicron spread and out of the U.K. in the first full week after Omicron hit the country suggest that the new Covid-19 variant should be a cause for celebration and relief, not fear and alarm—yet that’s not the direction in which the American media and many politicians are heading.

What we know now is that Omicron’s symptoms are considerably less severe than the Delta strain. Of course, further investigations using larger data sets are needed to confirm this trend. Scientists and health authorities need all the data they can get from the U.S. and other Western countries about Omicron, but the initial premises are encouraging.

At this point the question naturally arises: Why is it that the public health establishment and the media are working hard to generate a tide of public hysteria around Omicron? Before trying to answer the question, though, let us look in detail at why it makes sense to pose the question in the first place.

To begin, as South African Health Minister Joseph Phaahla explained at a press conference, even when his country was recording its highest number of cases since the spread of the pandemic, only 1.7% of identified Covid-19 cases were hospitalized in the second week of Omicron infections, compared with 19% at the same point in the cycle during the Delta wave.

Moreover, according to Discovery Health CEO Ryan Noach, on average, fewer of the infected people in South Africa who did end up in the hospital required oxygen

Leftist mayors and governors are going to need a comfort doll. Some will want Barbie, but I am sure many will opt for Ken.

Sure wished they would cover the flu like this.

The flu? Heck, the seasonal flu is dead. Gone forever. It’s been conquered! It’s a medical miracle!

Not so fast… My brother and his wife have the flu… double vaxxed… did they get the test for the CCP virus? No. Let’s see how long before they wait to get “tested” and their “normal” flu turns in to the magical mysterious CoupFlu virus.

When is the curtain going to be pulled back to fully expose these people?

Flu cases 2018 = FFF

Flu cases 2019 = RRR

Flu cases 2020 = AAA

Flu cases 2021 = UUU

Flu cases 2022 = DDD (estimated expectations bases upon past data)

Good news! I’ll continue to boost with vitamins c, D3 and zinc, quercetin anyway.

There is a lot of Ivermectin use in Africa that is probably helping damper things down.

I have seen that graphic before. The countries with Malaria treatment seem to have lower COVID deaths. It seems to be dismissed by the VAX worshippers.

Oregon’s governor wants both. Neither wants her.

At this point there are a couple of questions that need answering.

1) has anyone who previously had the CCP virus fallen ill with omicron? Secondly, have any DIED?

If not for the corrupt Portland TV news, Kate Brown would not be governor today.

Really not trusting any data coming out of Africa at face value. Because I’ve been in and out of various ports... total corruption.

From the article:

“Hochul also said the state reached a COVID-19 vaccine milestone Thursday as 95% of New Yorkers 18 and older have now received at least one dose of the vaccine.”

This seems hard to believe given black and hispanic hostility to the vaccine.

Grew up near the ocean - we used to call these "lucky stones" when we found them. No idea why, just part of local lore at the time.

Hochul is like the Red Queen is Alice in Wonderland. She shouts ridiculous orders and the people around her scurry acting like she knows what she is doing.
