Unvaccinated people infected with the Omicron variant are less likely to fall seriously ill, require hospitalization or die compared to the previous COVID-19 variants, a South African study showed on Friday.
The study, led by the National Institute of Communicable Diseases in the Western Cape region, compared 11,609 patients from the first three COVID-19 waves with 5,144 patients from the new Omicron-driven wave.
It found that 8 percent of patients were hospitalized or died within 14 days of testing positive for COVID during the Omicron wave — compared to the 16.5 percent in the first three waves.
“In the Omicron-driven wave, severe COVID-19 outcomes were reduced mostly due to protection conferred by prior infection and/or vaccination, but intrinsically reduced virulence may account for an approximately 25 percent reduced risk of severe hospitalization or death compared to Delta,” researchers said.

Wall Street Journal, 1/9/2022: “...data from Denmark and the Canadian province of Ontario indicate that vaccinated people have higher rates of Omicron infection than unvaccinated people.”

“There is no evidence so far that vaccines are reducing infections from the fast-spreading variant. ... there have been mass Omicron outbreaks in heavily vaccinated populations, scientists are highly uncertain the existing vaccines can stop it from spreading. ... there should be sufficient evidence that the vaccine is efficacious in preventing serious infection and/or transmission.” For Omicron, there is as yet no such evidence.
The little data we have suggest the opposite. One preprint study found that after 30 days the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines no longer had any statistically significant positive effect against Omicron infection, and after 90 days, their effect went negative—i.e., vaccinated people were more susceptible to Omicron infection. Confirming this negative efficacy finding, data from Denmark and the Canadian province of Ontario indicate that vaccinated people have higher rates of Omicron infection than unvaccinated people.”
Hopefully, the world population will soon discover the mass malfeasance, by elites, in dealing with this virus.
And, the insanity continues.
Interesting.
Globalists, $oro$, media moguls...
It may be that unvaccinated already had prior immunity to previous variants. Something that was not in the cards when the virus first arrived in March 2020.
Repeat after me.
ANTIBODY INDUCED ENHANCEMENT. It is real, it is happening.
Omicron is anti-science!
Geert has warned about this effect for almost a year now. Keeps being proven correct. But vax up folks - it’s the savior.

There seems to be something else going around that is killing upwards of 60 to 65% of working age folks, and the COVID numbers really aren’t that high. I first read about this in an insurance Co in Indiana, but this Epoch Times report is all over the US.
Note the dates of these deaths, many BEFORE any Covid.
#purebloods indeed
I did notice that Northeastern states were spared, with Nevada and TX being hit hardest.
When I see the article speaks of a huge surge of these deaths in California, New Mexico, and Florida in the past year, plus there’s been an invasion of illegals like we’ve never seen, it makes me think of them, though I could be wrong.
Some counties are 67% jabbed 😱
Not sure why you’re only pinging me, but happy to help 😏
Pureblood for sure. Seems most days news comes out that confirms the decision. My 18 year old got covid about 10 days ago. And right now, she is obviously fine, and my wife and I never so much as had a scratchy throat. (took some HCQ and zinc - saving IVM for if we have symptoms.
The author also mentions fentanyl/drug deaths, which might be part of it....
Anyway, back to the Omicron talk, it’s obvious the government and its lackies have been lying to us about COVID, etc.
Just thought you might be interested since TX was so high on the list.
Yet another data point. I wonder when the extinction clown will show up in here.
