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.
Sorry, but we’re done with the covid bull shit!
ChiComs take over Hong Kong.
They consolidate their day to day rule, border is ignored for them.
ChiComs can go back and forth at will.
But this is a NEW VARIANT!......................
Your math exaggerates the death rate by not considering people who have COVID but have not tested positive, similar to how CDC scared the hell out of everyone during the early part of the “epidemic”.
Blame Putin

This means leave off the the cussing and swear words. No f-bombs. No c-words, no sh-words, etc. Not even masked.
Something similar has been happening in South Korea in recent weeks - a HUGE spike in cases and a lesser spike in deaths. Some of this may be due to increased testing, but that probably isn’t the whole story. Cases went from a peak of about 1,060 a day pre-vaccine to well over 100,000 a day. I think they even topped 200,000 a couple of times.
Covid is sooo last week…
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.
Yes, sir. Just more fear porn. Most deaths over the past 2 years were deliberately and erroneously attributed to COVID though they were obviously due to other causes.
Appears the New World Order intends to continue beating the COVID horse even though it already long since died.
Who the heck wrote this garbage?
Of course it's ADE. The vaccines received only defend against last year's variant while compromising the immune system to be able to defend against any further variants. People were warned.
Oh no! Someone said a slightly naughty word!
Sounds like a good way to kill political groups under cover
Xi apparently wants to ethnic cleanse Hong Kong and fill it with his sycophants and cronies..............
Ya think????.....................
Just as the #CCP wants it.
Perhaps the Chicoms finally found their long sought racially selective virus?
