We need to talk about South Korea.
Through 2020 and 2021, South Korea chased zero Covid with strict border controls, aggressive testing and tracing, and a vaccination campaign that reached nearly its entire adult population with mRNA (and some DNA) shots.
The country didn’t quite get to zero. Infections and deaths rose slowly last year. But it came close enough that the usual highly credentialed public health experts held it up as a light among the nations.
[…]
On Thursday, South Korea reported 600,000 new Covid infections - the equivalent of more than 4 million in the United States. In a single day.
Covid deaths are skyrocketing too. South Korea reported 429 deaths Thursday, the equivalent of about 3,000 in the United States. That number is all but certain to skyrocket - cases have risen so fast that deaths have not had time to catch up yet. No one should be surprised if South Korea reports more than 1,000 daily Covid deaths in the next month.
South Korea, even more than Hong Kong, shows the world what happens when Omicron hits a densely populated region that has no prior Covid immunity at the wrong time, as the mRNA shots fail in unison.
The mRNA shots have negative efficacy against Omicron infection within months - meaning that vaccinated people are more likely to become infected. Data from Canada, Britain, Scotland, the United States, and other countries all agree on this point. I’m not sure anyone serious even argues it anymore…

Can I have a laugh at all the people that took the jab?
And can I have their stuff when they die?
The strategy of keeping Covid out until a vaccine is available was a good one — except it turned out the vaccines don’t work.
Countries that did this well will have to accept epidemics to get immunity.
Good thing it’s not a horrible disease that kills large percentages.
Or they can stay shut up to outsiders forever.
People with comorbidities are going to die with or without Covid being the instigating factor.
Can you say “VAIDS”?
Never got on that train......and yet I’m alive and well.
I always referred to it as “the covid shot hampster wheel” but the train analogy works nicely.
I will buy Fauci and the rest of the leftists 1000 jabs each for free. All at once should be utopia.
Isolation only delays it
HOW TO EVALUATE OUR RESPONSE TO COVID
1. Adverse reactions including death by individual age groups and high risk groups and low risk groups such as the young as compared to the non vaccinated.
2. Why has India and Japan had great success with ivermectin and what are the political reasons for not using ivermenctin.
3. Also important is a discussion on our Vaccine Adverse Reporting System. Due to the construction of the system only about 20% of adverse reactions are reported.
4. By age and risk comorbidity who should get the covid shot and who should not.
Our government has not answered any of the above.
This 600,000 new Covid infections number from Testing ?
So, many Chinese people were convinced that 2002 Sars was an engineered bioweapon ethnically targeting “Asiatic” people. From September 17, 2021:
6.5 million strong Triad & Yakuza pan-Asian organization became convinced 2002 Sars was engineered anti-Asian bioweapon https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3995922/posts
Sweden is one of only a few countries who seem to have done it right.
Laugh away, but laugh more soberly in my direction, since I have no plans on taking any boosters.
And furthermore, no, you can’t have my stuff when I die, since it will be going to friends and relatives, hopefully not within 3 years.
Yes it does, and that was my strategy.
It is understood that viruses evolve over time to become less lethal because more lethal viruses don't get as many chances to spread, so the evolutionary pressure is for viruses to mutate until they become less dangerous.
What I had hoped to achieve was to delay the onset of my catching the bug until it had worked it's way through the population and evolved into a less dangerous form.
I managed to go over a year after the outbreak before I finally caught it, (because someone brought it to my home) and for me it was quite miserable.
I have since caught this thing five times, and as I am typing this now, I am coming out of my fifth bout with this nasty bug.
This last round was relatively mild, but still unpleasant.
Did my strategy work? It would have worked great had I severed more of my contact with the rest of the population, but it is what it is.
But I don't blame people for trying to delay it. Delay may make the difference between life and death for some people.
Well yeah, if you consider throwing your old population to the wolves "right."
I predicted this, along with the rest of us exercising that matter between the ears.
“The reason South Korea has the highest rate of new Covid cases any country has ever seen is not despite but because it is so highly vaccinated. The failure of the shots is accelerating the rate of infection and transmission.”
Duh (to some of us).
That is EXACTLY what the U.S. did.
I had it twice: in March 2020 (Alpha strain), and then in January 2022 (Omicron strain). Thank God I missed the Delta strain.
I have no idea what strains I had. The only positive test I got was for the first one, and that was late November of 2020.
The next time I had it I tested "negative", but the symptoms were exactly like the first time. Fever, Chills, loss of taste and smell, muscle aches and pains and for me the roots of my teeth hurt as the thing crept up my nose and down into my windpipe.
Fortunately the thing never got into my lungs and so I never had any breathing problems.
But I have no idea what strain i've got. I predict we will see so many mutations that we are simply going to stop keeping count of what sort of strain it is.
This things is like a very bad cold and it's going to be as common as the cold going into the future.
Funny, looking at their ten year averages chart it doesn’t look like much of a difference over ten years. There was a slight increase 2 years ago, but it is back in line with the rest of the data.
If that’s throwing them to the wolves, well yeah that seems to have worked better than anything the rest of us did.
