Indications are that Omicron has actually been around for many weeks, in many parts of the world, and finally the number of "cases" (positive tests) has reached the level where we can start looking at statistics.

So,.... Has anybody in the world died from a verified Omicron infection?

I haven't read of a single one. I pray that continues.

How many serious hospitalizations have resulted from a verified Omicron infection?

I haven't read of a single one -- yet. I do expect there will be some.

All indications --so far -- are that Omicron is a "bad cold", or maybe a "mild flu", but certainly not the kind of horror that the initial Covid presented. And we must remember that even that horror was overall 99% survivable.

I'm 70 and have multiple co-morbidities. Omicron doesn't scare me.

So you are saying vaccines are useless because viruses mutate? Then how do other vaccines for smallpox, polio, etc. work?

How do the self-proclaimed experts know the omicrom variant is present anywhere when the covid 19 tests can’t even distinguish between covid 19 and the flu? And how many cycles are they running to get a positive result?

it has been 24/7 FakeNewsMSM coverage of children under 5 being hospitalized with Omicron in South Africa today...in an apparent push to get the young in Africa to get vaxxed. yet I noticed almost all “media” is leaving out ***this vital piece of information:

6min20sec to 7min: BBC’s James Menendez: small children getting ill.
DR. LESSELS: have to check if there’s intersection with other respiratory viruses because we have had ***influenza circulating. we’re trying to unpick that data to really understand it well.

AUDIO: 52m59s: 3 Dec: BBC Newshour: Covid: South Africa battles Omicron variant
Presenter: James Menendez
(includes interview with Dr. Richard Lessels, infectious disease physician at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, part of the team that identified Omicron.)

flu is back.

There NEVER is a valid reason for compulsory vaccination; especially in this case of genetic experimentation.

The true purpose of the “pandemic response” has been to condition the population to ever-increasing levels of totalitarian control.

It is understandable and appropriate to lead conduct this discussion now – how we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination within the European Union. This needs discussion, this needs a common approach, but I think it’s a discussion that has to be led conducted.”

Either a bad translation or - if she said this in English, simply bad English.

I’m holding out against being vaccinated here in Ireland. Not too much pressure yet as I’m working from home anyway. I have been predicting for the last year that it will be made mandatory and establishment politicians from the two main parties have started suggesting it.

The European Union put out a timetable for rolling out vaccine passports in the third quarter of 2019, just before Covid 19 was released by the Chinese. Coincidence? I doubt it.

Mandatory vaccinations have absolutely NOTHING to do with disease. It makes no difference if they are effective or not. It is, and always has been, about control.
