Lol.. he who defines the viral target in pcr, or even the target in non molecular testing gets to define and enumerate this plandemic.

How do they know its OM(G)ICRON?

Pretty unusual since they could not isolate and detect Delta without sequencing lab work.

Could omicron just be another way of saying your vaccine failed?

I too have tried to figure out the death count from Omicron and its difficult but best I can tell, excluding the usual panic porn suspects, it certainly appears to be much lower or milder as doctors in South Africa have stated.

“ And how many deaths?”
*****************************
Omicron has proven to be very mild so far. I certainly hope and expect that to continue but time will tell. This fast spreading mild variant is clearly the best way to pick up natural immunity.

No fatalities???

Soooooo disappointing that we can’t post the ‘we’re all gonna DIE’ memes.

Ah well, we’ll live...

They’ve had TWO YEARS to expand medical capacity.

No “covid surge” should be a cause for alarm at this point.

“How do they know its OM(G)ICRON?”

I read something about Omicron having a marker specific to it that shows up during testing. I’ve been watching variants for a long time, Colorado follows about 10, including several Beta variants. Delta is virtually all cases at this point. Most of the variants have not spread much.

The key is the how strong or weak O is. We will know a lot more in about a week.

Panic as new Omicron variant found -Mutant strain's 'sister' could be even HARDER to track

Peter Aitken, Queensland's acting chief health officer, said that the sub-lineage did not appear to have the S-gene dropout - the genetic marker used to distinguish Omicron from other variants of the virus.

Citizen, the vaccine does not fail. Only you fail. If you get sick, it is totally your fault and completely on you. Don’t come crying to us.

One day there will be a new variant that can’t be detected, has no symptoms and is resistant to vaccines. The only cure will be socialism.

Clearly, the ‘vaccines’ are complete failures as vaccines. That is beyond debate. The only question that remains is do they provide any prophylactic benefit limiting severity? More and more, the answer to that question seems to be no. And given the myriad of well documented side effects, I would say that in most cases, the risk to benefit ratio indicates most people under 70 should stay well clear of these drugs.

They’ve already overplayed their hand on virusporn. I don’t think we’ll terrify as easily again.

virusporn has been killed by virusporn fatigue.

You simply aren't paranoid enough.

In my little paranoid world (hey the rent is low, and nobody official knows me here. I hope!) the point where we are totally virusporn fatigued, the point where we won't mask up, the point where we won't lock down, the point where we won't avoid all human interaction, is precisely the point where those very patient and inscrutable evil people will release the long-fused fatal version to depopulate a world's worth of all that nice Lebensraum...

To: Grampa Dave
I'll try my bestest most gooder English:

When we are thoroughly sick and tired of the muzzle theater and have, as a people, pretty much resolved we won't be tricked again, that is the time for China to unleash a very deadly virus that has initially mild symptoms after a long infectious period, followed by the the deadly phase.

The powers that be have cried wolf to an imaginary wolf loudly enough and long enough that when we stop listening, the real wolf can easily spread far and wide unimpeded.

Expect China to be a black hole of data. Their vaccinated population will ride out the storm largely unaffected, and they will then have a greater Lebensraum, a whole largely unpopulated planet all their own...
