Explainer-How Worried Should We Be About The Omicron Variant?

[Gunny]

FYI


November 27, 2021
By Deena Beasley
(Reuters) – The new Omicron coronavirus variant – identified first in South Africa, but also detected in Europe and Asia – is raising concern worldwide given the number of mutations, which might help it spread or even evade antibodies from prior infection or vaccination.
News of the variant prompted countries to announce new travel restrictions on Friday and sent drugmakers scrambling to see if their COVID-19 vaccines remain protective.
WHY ARE SCIENTISTS WORRIED?
The World Health Organization on Friday classified the B.1.1.529 variant, or Omicron, as a SARS-CoV-2 “variant of concern,” saying it may spread more quickly than other forms of coronavirus.
The Delta variant remains dominant worldwide, accounting for 99.9% of U.S. cases, and it is not yet clear whether Omicron will be able to displace Delta, said Dr. Graham Snyder, medical director, infection prevention and hospital epidemiology at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
But the new variant has over 30 mutations in the part of the virus that current vaccines target. It is also suspected of driving a spike in new infections in South Africa.
Omicron’s mutations are likely to render certain COVID-19 treatments – including some manufactured antibodies – ineffective, said Dr. David Ho, professor of microbiology and immunology at Columbia University.
Experimental antiviral pills – such as Pfizer Inc’s Paxlovid and Merck & Co Inc’s molnupiravir – target parts of the virus that are not changed in Omicron, and these drugs could become even more important if vaccine-induced and natural immunity are threatened.
THE UNKNOWNS
Scientists say it could be several more weeks before they can define the type of disease caused by the variant, determine how contagious it is and identify how far it has already spread.
Some note that other variants of concern, including Beta, which was also first detected in South Africa, were ultimately replaced by Delta.
But the biggest question remains whether protection from COVID-19 vaccines – nearly 8 billion doses have been administered globally – will hold up. And, will people previously infected with the coronavirus be immune from infection with Omicron?
Experts also don’t yet know whether Omicron will cause more or less severe COVID-19 compared to other coronavirus strains.
BEST RESPONSE?
Omicron has not yet been identified in the United States, but it is likely already here, scientists said.
Even without the new variant, U.S. COVID-19 rates have increased in recent weeks, mainly in northern states, as people move indoors to avoid winter weather.
Some countries have moved to limit travel from southern Africa. Beyond government restrictions, individuals should still assess their own vulnerability to COVID and tolerance for risk as they make travel decisions for the winter holidays, Snyder from University of Pittsburgh Medical Center said.
He and others said vaccination should remain a priority despite questions about effectiveness against Omicron, because it is likely that they still remain protective to a certain extent. Everyone should also continue to wear masks, avoid crowds, ventilate rooms, and wash hands.
“We have all those tools that will work against any variant,” said Dr. Eric Topol, director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, California.

Hope everyone has the Dr. Zelenko protocol supplements on hand. Seems like this is going to spread easier and faster and everyone will probably get it.

This thing just keeps evolving and mutating.

Every virus mutates all the time. Partly on a random basis -- like every damned 'live ' thing on the planet and also because the essence of a virus is to seek an alternative

solution whenever it is repelled . And its aim always is to replicate by killing its chosen host .

Fortunately mutation differences are extremely small -- maximum 0.3% -- and movement is regression toward the mean ( transmission , infectiousness and outcomes ) . Just

as it happens with us as a species -- IQ and height being obvious inter- generational illustrations .

At this point there is not a jot of hard evidence that so called Omicron is one jot more dangerous than previous mutations unless it has been engineered -- theoretically a very

easy matter . However , so far no evidence for this .

So . On the same basis, start building an underground home to save you from an asteroid or Niberu and start growing your own food etc . Anything is possible .

[Juicer66]

THE TRUTH ? Read on Normies .

South Africa, -- a nation with 41% of its 60-million peoples vaccinated for Covid (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/south-african-scientists-detect-new-virus-variant-amid-spike/2021/11/25/ff3e36fe-4e1e-11ec-a7b8-9ed28bf23929_story.html) -began to see a rise in Covid cases in early November—on the 9th South African scientists discovered a novel Covid virus mutation responsible for a rise in cases, which they reported to the World HealthOrganisation on November 24 — and yesterday saw the South African Medical Association stating :

“It presents mild disease with symptoms being sore muscles and tiredness for a day or two not feeling well…So far, we have detected that those infected do not suffer loss of taste or smell…They might have a slight cough…There are no prominent symptoms…Of those infected some are currently being treated at home (https://sputniknews.com/20211127/south-african-medical-association-says-omicron-variant-causes-mild-disease-1091062923.html)”
And today its sees Director Tulio de Oliveira of the KwaZulu-Natal Research and Innovation Sequencing Platform, who discovered and reported to the WHO about this new Covid variant, angry over what’s now happening, and declaring to his entire nation:
“I do apologize that people took a very radical decision (https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/11/27/world/covid-omicron-variant-news)”.


Not understood by Director de Oliveira when he told the WHO about the discovery of this new and mild Covid varian is that it that has yet to kill anyone.
It is the socialist “Trans goons, bedwetters and snowflakes” ruling over America, and by extension the Western world, which uses information like this to ignite hysteria—which is exactly what they did with Delta Variant when it was first discovered .

P.S.no one is able to understand the mysterious disappearance of the Delta Variant in Japan (https://www.rt.com/news/540895-japan-delta-covid-extinction/)—and with no one knowing why the over 167-million people in Bangladesh aren’t all dead, as only 21% of them have been vaccinated against Covid -- yet none of them are dying (https://andmagazine.com/talk/2021/11/22/why-isnt-everyone-in-bangladesh-dead/).


Except we understand it perfectly . No vaccines and Ivermectin treatment .

I'm at the point where'd I'd just as soon get it and get it over with than put up with all this nonsense about it.

You still need the supplements to help get over symptoms faster.

I am a 70, overweight female and not vaccinated. I had covid in October. The supplements kept symptoms manageable.

I seem to have contracted the "don't give a shit" variant. Some lose their sense of smell, but I have lost by ability to give a shit. I'm done with putting forth any effort related to COVID.

That is the whole aim of Chaos theory .

To get people to no longer know Who and What to believe and through information censorship condition Sheeple to a one and only chosen narrative .

To avoid inevitable stress and anxiety many Normies then develop "Don't Give a Shit " deflection and survival techniques based on avoidance .

That is arguably OK but only if you have no family and friends to whom you should feel obligations toward .

[Juicer66]

Vitamin D?


Same as from day one ( 21 months ago ) --- Vitamins C, D3 plus Zinc as an efficiency enabler but if you have had a death shot or two you need to up their concentration and introduce anti-oxidants ---- n-acetylcisteine, for example ( NAC . There are plenty of others like Glutathione but NAC is most efficient ) .

If you are over weight do something about it . Huge liability .Based on clear research which they barely mention because such a high number of US people would likely freak out and/or burble about 'discrimination' .

Similarly, dark skinned people are at a huge disadvantage ( keep that quiet as well )--- D3 to the rescue .

The full interview (from April 2021) is worth revisiting in light of the new “Omicron variant” & newly imposed restrictions. 2 minute clip below.
"I call the variants the 'SAMEiants' because the mutations are are so close the original that your body won't recognize the difference and treat them the same." (paraphrase)

Dr Anthony Hinton, Consultant Surgeon with 30 years experience in the NHS. "No more lockdowns and no Covid passports. First do no harm, especially to children."

Here's another thing about mutations. mutations in viruses (or any creature) can only go so far before the changes harm the creature to the point of it not being able to function.
It's science fiction that natural mutation create NEW and worse features. The only mutations ever seen by human beings are either neutral or a REDUCTION in function or a loss of a feature. That's science fact. (And BTW is one reason why evolution is provably BS scientifically)
If a wolf caught in a trap chews it's leg of and then has 3 legged babies, it's a LOSS of feature not a gain. But there is one less leg for traps.
the wolf doesn't grow wings or iron bones or super tough flesh. Same all the way down with viruses and bacteria. loss of features or neutral changes.
If scientist do see a supposed gain of function like maybe, eyeless fish expressing eyes, it because genes that are ALREADY part of the creature are turned on in an environment.
It's not a "mutation" it's an expression of a dormant feature. A feature already built in by God.

Gain of functions are MAN MADE. Made by taking features from one creature and adding it to another by various means.

EXACTLY!
"THEY" are using fear as their weapon....
To train the herd...
To condition the sheeple to do as -they-- say..
It is all about control- how to control the masses......
These politicians do what they do. Advance themselves, their careers and their AGENDA!
And do so without any regard to how many lives it harms or destroys( kills)
Sheeple are taught to be blinded to this reality... Taught that these socalled experts are looking out for them!
Remember this, I stated almost two years ago they --would continue this because it works so very, very, very ,very well..
Fear- the greatest motivator known to mankind.
This newest socalled variant has been made out to be a great deadly plague. Same as they did about the first Covid19.
Where the fudged the death rate by falsifying death records.
Covid 19- is about 1 percent fatal - and even that aplies to those over age 60 and with other serious illnesses as a major death factor.

These people doing trhis do not give a damn about YOU!!!!!
All they care about are themselves, their careers , their money/wealth and their agenda.
Yet the American populace has been conditioned and taught to believe media, dem politicians and globalists to such an extent that
those of us-- not blinded-- are roundly and constantly vilified for daring to point out the TRUTH!
In USA - the true enemies of this nation-- of we citizens ==are the lousy corrupt dem politicians and lousy corrupt mainstream media and the sheeple that they have brainwashed....
A fact..--Tyr

I am a 70, overweight female and not vaccinated. I had covid in October. The supplements kept symptoms manageable.I take about 10 supplements in addition to what's on the Dr's list.

Personally, I would add garlic -- about 2000 mcg a day -- it's high in allicin https://www.verywellhealth.com/the-benefits-of-allicin-88606

Echinacea

turmeric

selenium -- it has a toxicity level, so follow directions

All are immune system boosters. Garlic, turmeric and echinacea are age-old "home remedies" from the days before modern chemicals. Selenium, combined with C, E and COQ-10 were touted as "the" antioxidant cocktail back in the 90s.

How did the Omicron variant get into Australia if the unvaxxed and covid positive can't leave or enter?

Did the virus mutate the same way... at the same time?


are people even asking these questions and thinking?

[icansayit]

At my age, after all I have been through. Two wars, Cancer, Heart attacks, Spinal surgery, ankle surgery, shoulder surgery...along with the loss of my only sister, my only two brothers, both of my parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents....Why should I worry?
When my GOD decides it's time for me to take the eternal nap. I can't do anything about it.

The main reason I have a theory for nearly everything is that I am infinitely smarter and brighter than you , research almost obsessively and am a Critical Thinker .

If you do not even understand the basics of Chaos and its applications to Mind Control you are an attempted gunslinger without a gun , in terms of being able to offer worthwhile opinions .

You have had around 75 years to watch Chaos being developed and used but apparently cannot read in the now required manner to have even a basic grasp of geo-politics .

Hint . We have moved from Binary to Probabilistic thinking . Hardly anything is Black- White , Right -Wrong etc .Start from there and see how far you can get .

In fairness they first recorded the mythical Moronic variant on November 9th but only started making official noises on the 24 th .

But it is yet another hopelessly contrived evil hoax which just happens to coincide with need for new Chaos stimuli ( winter lockdown season here , failing efficiency of existing killer shots , a need to deflect from excess deaths and vaxxed dying in huge numbers , need for boosters to guarantee next year profit forecasts etc etc

Is it coincidence that it also exactly ties in with the start of the Maxwell trial ?

Supposedly she has been blabbing like a pitiful wretch for months and can bring down the Deep State almost single handed in terms of hard revelations etc . So do not rule out the possibility of Smallpox or something much stronger than the Moronic Fairy Dust mutation . Or , even her own strange death .

Facts cannot brag ? They simply exist .

You may not like self advertisement . You might even even hate it .But for me a Phony Redneck is a type of person who tries to play with facts in an utterly

predictable and unbalanced way .

Invariably unconsciously self advertising as an Inverted Braggart .


P.S. I imagine people who use the term , Over Educated , actually think it has meaning and does not simply suggest an author who feels inferior and speaks from lower down.

Would you feel happier if all people were educated to the same standard , or, seen to be capable of that , or , seen that way to avoid disappointment and avoid a simple truth ?

Like Communists do .

https://keydifferences.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/communism-vs-socialism1.jpg (https://keydifferences.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/communism-vs-socialism1.jpg)There are a number of political systems prevalent in different countries of the world. Communism and socialism are two such economic system, which are commonly juxtaposed by the people. While communism is described as a social organization system where the community owns the property and each individual contributes and receives wealth as per their needs and ability.

However bitter you may be about your lack of education , you need to understand that you can be better or worse but not over educated .

In the same way that you cannot be over efficient , over performing or over achieving in the absolute sense .

I can imagine you saying to Einstein , for example ," Hey Albert , you are over educated. Act more stupid and like us ."
