Had Enough of Covid? Then I Have Great News

Joseph Mercola

January 29, 2022 Updated: January 29, 2022
Commentary


For nearly a year, experts have noted that the COVID shots cannot establish herd immunity to end the pandemic, as the gene transfer injections do not prevent infection or transmission.

It’s not rocket science, yet health officials and government leaders around the world have irrationally claimed otherwise, and censored any and all—regardless of credentials—who dared to suggest alternative approaches.

Now, all of a sudden, the narrative is rapidly changing, with loads of these same individuals—truthfully, if you can believe that—acknowledging that the COVID “vaccines” cannot end the pandemic and that we need to learn to live with the virus. Some have even started speaking out against repeated boosters, at least at intervals of three to four months.

It seems a major driver for this U-turn in the pandemic narrative is the emergence of the Omicron variant. While incredibly infectious, it causes only mild cold symptoms in the vast majority of people, so it’s essentially ripping through populations, leaving natural herd immunity in its wake. As a result, many are now claiming the end of the pandemic is in sight.1

Moving on From COVID
In a Jan. 15, 2022, Trial Site News article, Mary Beth Pfeiffer reported:2

“The director of global infectious diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital is predicting what was unthinkable less than a month ago: The end of the pandemic. Dr. Edward Ryan made stunning and encouraging comments on the Omicron variant that give hope for a return to normalcy.

Among these: Omicron will make boosters unnecessary. The COVID virus will join the ranks of the ‘common cold.’ And the latest wave will enter ‘clean up mode’ shortly. ‘We are fighting the last war with COVID and should be pivoting back to normal life,’ the summary of Dr. Ryan’s comments states. ‘Spring/Summer will be really nice!'”

According to Ryan, nearly 100 percent of COVID cases in the Boston area are now Omicron, which is good news, considering it doesn’t appear to bring with it any of the more severe side effects seen with previous strains, including Delta. In New England, the current outbreak is predicted to rapidly wane and disappear during the month of February 2022. Nationwide, Omicron was reportedly responsible for about 73 percent of all cases as of early January 2022.3

Pfeiffer also reports that, according to Ryan, booster shots will not be needed for Omicron, as by the time a dedicated injection is released, the wave will already be over and done with. Ryan is reported to have stated that “we’re all going to get it, which will give us the immunity we need to get through it,” referring to the Omicron infection.

Ryan’s comments fly in the face of mainstream medical recommendations, which near-universally call for boosters for everyone, including children. Clearly, however, Ryan makes a lot of sense. The boosters, while seemingly able to temporarily raise a double-jabbed person’s resistance against Omicron, it’s designed to protect against the original SARS-CoV-2 strain that no longer exists.

Overall, it appears the only reason a double-jabbed person would need a booster against Omicron is because the first two doses impaired their immune system such that they’re now more vulnerable, even to a milder strain. This downward spiral of negative immunity can only continue if people continue to take boosters, especially mismatched ones.

Vaccine-Induced Herd Immunity Called Out as ‘Myth’
In early August 2021, the director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, professor Sir Andrew Pollard, actually spoke out against the idea that the COVID shots were the answer everyone was looking for. At the time, he referred to the idea that vaccine-induced herd immunity against COVID was “mythical.” As reported by Yahoo! News, Aug. 10, 2021:4

“… Pollard … said … that herd immunity is ‘not a possibility’ with the current Delta variant. He called the idea ‘mythical,’ warning that vaccine programs should not be developed around it.

‘We know very clearly with coronavirus that this current variant, the Delta variant, will still infect people who have been vaccinated and that does mean that anyone who’s still unvaccinated, at some point, will meet the virus,’ Pollard told a session of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on coronavirus.

He said that while vaccines might ‘slow the process’ of transmission down, they cannot currently stop the spread completely.

‘I think we are in a situation here with this current variant where herd immunity is not a possibility because it still infects vaccinated individuals,’ he said, predicting the next thing may be ‘a variant which is perhaps even better at transmitting in vaccinated populations.’ He added: ‘So that’s even more of a reason not to be making a vaccine program around herd immunity.'”

During that same APPG meeting, professor Paul Hunter from the University of East Anglia stressed that variants capable of evading the COVID shots were “an absolute inevitability.” Pollard and Hunter both turned out to be correct, as Omicron’s vaccine-evading capacity has now been documented.

Most People Are ‘Done’ With COVID
The reprieve Omicron provides could not have come at a better time. At this point, after two years of repetitive fearmongering, most people have simply had enough. It’s not often you put a hold on life for this long, and the general consensus appears to be that people are ready to brave life even if the threat of COVID remains.

“The determination to get on with our lives is deeply and perhaps unchangeably human …. Whatever damage Omicron might wreak in the immediate future, we will, most likely, soon lead lives that look a lot more like they did in the spring of 2019 than in the spring of 2020.” — Yascha Mounk, associate professor, Johns Hopkins University

In a Dec. 22, 2021, Atlantic opinion piece, Yascha Mounk, associate professor at Johns Hopkins University and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, noted that “No matter the severity of the variant, the appetite for shutdowns or other large-scale social interventions simply isn’t there.” He goes on:5

“It feels like everyone I know has COVID … The pattern among my circle of friends fits with what’s unfolding in South Africa, where the coronavirus’s new Omicron variant was first identified.

Not in the San Francisco Bay Area

They love being afraid...

Huh? Those who have natural immunity and have done research (FLCCC) and used repurposed medicines, do not need the phony vaccines.

Wait, what? What happened to my “Dark Winter of Suffering and Death” ? (Biden)

All this over a stuffy nose in wintertime. The midterms must be coming up

Tested positive for Covid four days ago. A couple of days of discomfort and now I’m fine. Yes, I’m one of the vaxed. Feel safer than I did before.

Doesn’t matter. Even if they were to take a pause on the “boosters”, the persecute-the-unjabbed mentality continues to spread. Now that they have sufficient acceptance of the jab passes, they are ready to continue upping that, while also adding on more and more social credit penalties for the non- or quasi-compliant.

Omicron is giving us the natural immunity!! It’s wiping out Delta.

The people and even the sheeple are figuring out this scamdemic is just about over.

Hospitalized last week, got the Trump treatment (Remdesevir)and am feeling much better. I so find Eastern European women strangely attractive, though.
It’s bad, but they haven’t yet turned it into Captain Trips.

Did you receive Remdesivir or the monoclonal antibody Regeneron?

“Omicron is God’s vaccine.”

Amen. Had it 3 weeks ago. Basically a bad head cold for 2 days, then a nagging cough. Based on previous flu & colds, I’ll probably take 4-6 weeks to totally clear the cough. Other than that...very mild sore throat days 3 & 4, then just a stuffy nose.

EVERYONE in my family caught it. We got it from the grandkids (who all caught it). Their parents caught it as well. Worst case was a daughter who hit 103 on the fever the second day. Grandkids barely had sniffles - only figured out they were sick because the school sent a notice of “contact”...and then they all tested positive.

No way any of us is going to worry about COVID now - not that we were sweating it before.

There were high-level governmental officials that CRIED when WW2 ended, not because of joy, but because they knew they’d never have the power they had once possessed.
