Bad News from Hong Kong: Cases and DEATHS exploding despite "Zero Covid" and Vaccination
https://igorchudov.substack.com ^ | March 5, 2022 | Igor Chudov

Something very strange is happening in Hong Kong. I am not the first to write about it, but I wanted to do a good job compiling the information and informing my readers so this post is somewhat complete. I will include additional reading below.

Hong Kong’s stringent “Zero Covid” policy, stopped to work in mid-February and a “wall of cases” curve exploded in the territory.

Now, we have seen such “walls of cases” before, but nothing close ever happened to deaths:

[ MANY CHARTS AT LINK...............................]

You can see that deaths per million in Hong Kong are basically three TIMES the highest death rate in the US or Israel.

Cases between Feb 13-Feb 17: 18,493

Deaths between Feb 28-March 4: 895

Calculated Case Fatality Rate: 4.83%

The relevant case fatality rate in the US for our recent Omicron peak is roughly 0.3%, or 16 TIMES lower.

Slow down and let it sink in: the case fatality rate in Hong Kong is 16 times HIGHER than in the US. That should make you curious.

Vaccination Hong Kong is vaccinated just as much as the United States or Israel, sitting closely between them:

Clearly, something else is in play and not the vaccine.

New Variant in Hong Kong Just as cases and deaths in HK skyrocketed, a new sub-variant called “BA.2 + S:I1221T” has taken over:

Not much is known about that variant, other than it is minimal elsewhere.

Data Problems Every Hong Konger who is diagnosed with Covid must be taken away and isolated for 21 days in a very bleak and sad place called “Penny Bay”, where they do not even have working wi-fi.

This, naturally, creates an incentive to NOT report a case of Covid and hide out at home with working wi-fi, for those lucky enough to be able to do it. This creates a bias of healthy people with mild cases not being reported, and may explain a part of high mortality.

Would you like to eat this black corn patty for lunch?

Zero Covid means Everyone is a Target Here in the West, most people already had exposure to Covid. It is a mystery who gets infected first and why some people do not get Covid until later in the pandemic. It is possible that here in the US or UK, the least healthy people already caught Covid and some, sadly, died. Thus, subsequent waves seem to be less deadly, partly because several waves of Covid already went through the population, and some immunity already exists. Not so in HK, where everyone is now vulnerable.

Antibody-Dependent Enhancement While, so far, I have not seen any evidence of ADE affecting anyone, it is possible that such incredibly high mortality rates are due to ADE from this new variant. The S:i1221T mutation does change a spike amino acid and it is possible that vaccine spike antibodies are assisting infection instead of suppressing it.

While it is still speculation, such a possibility need not be dismissed.

Overall, Hong Kong is a story worth watching.

Chinese releasing another engineered bioweapon to punish the Hong Kong protestors?

If another “variant” pops up in Taiwan in a few months, it will be too much for coincidence...

I think these are the Chinese “vaccines”. They have not released information except what I consider propaganda, but in some South American countries the reporting on the Chinese “vaccine” has not been favorable. I don’t know if it is the mRNA type or something else.

From the posted article:

Clearly, something else is in play and not the vaccine.

How can that be said...

Hong Kong Vaccine Surge Sees Majority Pick Sinovac Over BioNTech

Excerpt from link below:
Among the newly vaccinated, 61% opted for Sinovac Biotech Ltd.’s shot that has been shown to be less potent against omicron and other strains. The remainder received BioNTech SE vaccine that uses new mRNA technology to target the virus’s genetic makeup.

Is this whole article some kind of well woven Joke?
Middle of article says there is a new varient.
Get this, the name of the new varient
is
BA.2+S:I122IT

To my eyes, that looks like the english expression of
Bat S**t.

Are you a moderator or JR? If you are either of those, then I’ll take your admonishments as gospel.
If you are not either of those, then kindly leave us alone.

BA2 accounts for 30% of all cases in the UK as of Jan 28. And 4% of cases in the US.

Hong Kong is 142 out of 266 in deaths be million and it seems like the places that went into deep “safe mode” end up with high rates later.

If you believe it’s POSSIBLE that China released the covid virus as a bioweapon, then you have to also consider the POSSIBILITY that China is specifically targeting Hong Kong with a covid virus bioweapon.

Or maybe they're just disappearing all of the dissenters from a couple of years ago, and just calling them "covid deaths".

Sure sounded like you were telling us how to behave here. If you have a problem, contact a moderator.

Cite where I said anything of the sort. Although I did tell someone to take it up with JR (his rules, not mine).

You are the one posting on how to behave, not me.
