South African doctor who discovered Omicron variant SLAMS pressure from countries to make the virus sound worse than it actually is

The South African doctor who discovered the Omicron strain has revealed she was 'pressured' into describing the variant as more dangerous than it really is.

Dr Angelique Coetzee was one of the first to report the new variant in November last year and said it caused 'mild' symptoms for those in her country.

But she claims she was told by scientists and politicians from around the globe that her description was wrong.

'Because of all of Covid's mutations, all of these scientists and politicians who aren't from South Africa were contacting me telling me I was wrong when I spoke out, that it was a serious disease … they were telling me I had no idea what I was talking about, they kept attacking me,' Dr Coetzee told The Daily Telegraph.

'In South Africa it is a lighter disease, but in Europe it has been a serious, serious illness, which is what the politicians want me to say. There has been a lot of pressure from European scientists and politicians who have said ''Please don't say it is a mild illness''.'

The GP said those who had contracted the variant in South Africa experienced much milder symptoms compared to the Delta strain and often only experienced a sore throat and fatigue.

As a fan of professional boxing, Dr Angelique Coetzee is probably related to Gerrie Coetzee, a boxer from the late 1960s. Keep swinging, Dr Coetzee.

‘Because of all of Covid’s mutations, all of these scientists and politicians who aren’t from South Africa were contacting me telling me I was wrong when I spoke out, that it was a serious disease …

Now why would they do that? It’s almost as if they have an agenda.

From the article --- "But she claims she was told by scientists and politicians from around the globe that her description was wrong. 'Because of all of Covid's mutations, all of these scientists and politicians who aren't from South Africa were contacting me telling me I was wrong when I spoke..."

You write, "$cientists disagree. How about that."

Indeed so, and after twenty five months of this LETHAL, DEADLY KILLER pandemic, one find from simple "official" data:

South Africa data as of 10 February 2022 --

( 96,502 COVID deaths / 59,308,690 South Africans ) x 100 = 0.163 percent mortality rate.

This means the survivabilty rate" of Covid in all its mutations and across over two years in South Africa is 99.837 percent.

It's all been about the medical fascism and $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $

So says the "official data."

I immediately saw that the medical establishment, with the total support of the political establishment, was painting “little O” as a big bad version of the disease that had been devastating us. I saw otherwise. Dr John Campbell make it clear from the start. This was to be a bad cold that gave you immunity.

I saw and heard what the media was doing: deliberately suppressing information to keep people in fear.

The charade is coming to an end. The folks are seeing through the elaborate scaffold that the left has erected to hide the truth.

South African doctors and scientists are a HUGE PROBLEM for the West as they’re damn good, and they’re also not owned by Big Pharma, Soros, or others. So, not only are they outstanding in what they do, they cannot be stopped from telling the truth.

But I suspect that the rest of the world will figure out a way to deal with this ‘South Africa Problem’ once this virus is over (possibly accusing them of being racists, since many, or most, are not black).
