If you type in omicron vaccines and look at the news, the diversity of stories is telling for what is to come. As I mentioned previously, this is clearly pretext for their failed product, but we have to remember the vaccines were failing before omicron.

I don’t understand why all of a sudden the cabal would want to prevent mass panic when they have spent much of the last two years trying as hard as they could to whip it up.

How to account for this change in tactic?

I see some congruity with Dr. Vanden Bossche https://voiceforscienceandsolidarity.substack.com/p/to-all-those-who-believe-omicron

Well I guess we're going to find out. Don't forget S Africa, I suspect as W Africa (I Know), has many of the off labeled drugs readily available. You know the real killers like HCQ and IVM. Can you imagine your Doc telling you that he would rather shoot you up with some experimental mRNA shit than give you an rx for the other two drugs named above? Let that sink in. And of course good old vitamin D3, Z, and C. Yea definitely go with the concoction that has no long term studies on it.....I'M SORRY it still BOGGLES the mind!!

IF Fausti says it's mild THEN it must be bad.

Just do opposite what they say is a valid strategy LOL.

I'm sure we are all hoping it is mild but keep the Ivermectin handy and get on it early. Don't wait until you need it to get the stuff on the protocol. Source things now.

Wow, this comments section is incredible. I appreciate you being so active in it, Igor, and responding to critics and different viewpoints. Makes for really good reading and thinking.

Thank you. Between your last two articles, and Geert's last two articles, I feel like I understand the potential of Omicron much better.

It seems like vaccinated people may have a harder time with this variant. Perhaps that's why doctors in Africa are saying it's mild, because they have more vaccine free people.

Igor, sorry to be blunt but you are wrong on this and I explained why in detail in comments on your last post. You are not considering the impact of policy on what data are collected and how test dynamics are unfolding. Did you not read Dr. Abdullah's report on SA "Covid hospitalizations" that found 76% of hospitalizations were at best incidental to the Covid test positive (all that is required for a "case" or "hospitalization" to be tallied) and, more likely, most were simply false positives.

A very high false positive rate is inevitable when screening all hospital admissions for Covid, without requiring presentation of any Covid symptoms, as South Africa is doing (and I strongly suspect was NOT doing before the Omicron panic). This asymptomatic testing is guaranteed to yield a vast majority of false positives at low disease prevalence (anything under 10%, which is way way higher than we've seen in SA at any point in the pandemic), PARTICULARLY with the dropped S gene test probe that is included in many SA PCR tests for some reason, but is now being dropped b/c of concerns that Omicron is avoiding this test probe b/c of one or more mutations in the S gene.

I hope all of this makes sense.

Here again is the SAMRC report from Dr. Abdullah: https://www.samrc.ac.za/news/tshwane-district-omicron-variant-patient-profile-early-features

Even New York Times wrote about this today in terms of being good data suggesting very low severity: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/world/africa/omicron-coronavirus-research-spread.html?referringSource=articleShare

And here's my short write up on this: https://tamhunt.medium.com/omicron-south-african-hospitalization-increases-appear-to-be-mostly-an-artifact-of-incidental-covid-c34f3bfe2d5b

Here's a USNews article by Harvard Med School professor Branch-Elliman on how the vast majority of screening test results are false positives at low disease prevalence: https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2021-07-14/why-covid-19-screening-should-be-used-sparingly-in-schools

And here's my essay on what I call the "false positive catastrophe": https://tamhunt.medium.com/omicron-south-african-hospitalization-increases-appear-to-be-mostly-an-artifact-of-incidental-covid-c34f3bfe2d5b

"EXCLUSIVE HEAR ME OUT: Let me fearmonger you a bit."

"Nah, don't panic."

What happen to you, my friend?

I agree, Omicron is very bad news for the vaccinated. But that's what everyone has already known for a while with all hypothesizing of pathogenic priming, OAS, ADE etc.. Quietly (because we are collectively de-platformed), but we knew this, you knew this.

Vaccine = setup.exe

Omicron = run.exe

For the unvaccinated = blocked by firewall. Bonus points, you get antibodies.

Quite sinister if you ask me....

In any case, I'm not sure if I want to live on this planet any more, so let's get over it with this _moronic_ thing.

Dr. Abdullah concluded: "In summary, the first impression on examination of the 166 patients admitted [in South Africa] since the Omicron variant made an appearance, together with the snapshot of the clinical profile of 42 patients currently in the COVID wards at the SBAH/TDH complex, is that the majority of hospital admissions are for diagnoses unrelated to COVID-19. The SARS-CoV-2 positivity is an incidental finding in these patients and is largely driven by hospital policy requiring testing of all patients requiring admission to the hospital."

I think where we are with Omicron is just about where we were in early 2020 with Covid in general. We know the numerator, which is how many people are turning up in hospitals with it, in South Africa, but we have no idea what the denominator is, i.e. how many people have undiagnosed, mild cases. If Omicron is indeed much more transmissible, it's entirely possible that the denominator substantially bigger that with previous variants and thus a greater portion of cases really are mild and don't require hospitalization. The fact that there appears to be less of a need for oxygen even in hospitalized cases is also promising.

Igor, I love that you are seeking the truth wherever that may lead you. I can see that for you, it’s not about being right, it’s about finding out what is real and true.

How about this one. https://dailysceptic.org/2021/12/07/south-african-data-suggests-the-omicron-variant-is-mild/ I am hoping you are wrong Igor, but I value your work and I am keeping an open mind. Thanks.

Thank you. I appreciate that there's some few places left I can come to get unbiased information, and the data to mull over myself.

Has there been a recent increase in vax uptake in SA?

Some of us don't believe in viruses anymore Igor. So if there are extra people in hospital over the norm then we go looking for reasons. And vaccinations would seem to be a good suspect.
