From discovery to global panic in 48 hours: How South African scientists' warnings about soaring cases of Covid super-mutant variant sparked frantic cabinet meeting and worldwide travel ban
Daily Mail ^ | Nov 26, 2021

B.1.1.529 — which has now been named Omicron— was first picked up in Hong Kong on Monday in a patient who had travelled from South Africa.

It did not catch international attention until Wednesday after a British scientists mentioned its 32 'horrific' mutations on social media after cases were picked up in Botswana and South Africa as well.



Boris Johnson's spokesperson said the variant was not an 'issue' on Wednesday afternoon despite UK experts warning it had a horrific set of mutations that could allow it to dodge vaccines.



By Thursday the South African Government was forced to warn the world about the strain at a sombre press conference, admitting it had triggered an 'exponential' rise in Guateng province and was likely in every corner of the country, outpacing Delta at ferocious speed.

No, they have not been using ivermectin, zinc, HCQ to prevent Covid.

It was only to expected that a nasty resistant strain would come out of this part of the world, given the high HIV incidence there. This strain is thought to have arisen from an HIV patient. Makes sense.

It was discovered in July 2021. The announcement was withheld until a new panic was needed.

Must have. Personally I like the beer names better. The next variant should be the Michelob virus, or we could have the Coors virus.

that the mutations occurred on the spike protein’s ACE2 receptors, which is exactly the location that the vaccines targeted, thus the virus is mutating to avoid the vaccine.

Gee, maybe they would have discovered this with normal lab trials. (Of course, this was pre-planned to thin the herd.)

New variants will continue to occur. The leaky, narrow vaccine that has been deployed puts selective pressure to favor variants that escape the vaxx antibodies. What is interesting is that multiple, independently generated epitopes are showing identical mutations. The "gatekeeping" behavior of a deattenuating virus often shows parallel changes that are the same on the way back to the original, virulent starting point.

There is a fair number of HIV patients in South Africa. Due to their immunosuppressed state, they have little ability to generate an effective antibody response to a SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is possible for them to remain infected for months and generate a wide range of variants in a single person. Attempting to "vaccinate" them is a fool's errand as they don't mount an effective antibody response, but they do suffer the other nasty side effects of the mRNA vaxx.

The Greek alaphabet isn’t scary enough so now we are going with bad guys from comic books.

If there are variants that are dodging the “magic bullet” of vaccines now available, then it is time to rethink the near-total reliance that has been placed upon vaccination as the “only” method of control. Treatment, by any of a number of procedures already available, makes far more sense, but it has to be applied earlier and with more vigorous dosages sufficient to take out the disease organism, and still maintain the other homeostatic capabilities of the human immune system.

A generous supply of dietary zinc ion, staying below the level of toxicity, and combining it with an Zn++ ionophore is a very good way of assuring the COVID-19 Wuhan virus particles never get a foothold within the cells of the nasal and lung passages, where they do all their mischief. The literature is out there, look it up and get educated in its application.

I’m Grimm Milestone, and this variant is reportedly so deadly, it makes male testicles fall off, womens face wrinkle, and kills all children under the age of 18 within days. The “Vaccine” and its subsequent “boosters” will be insufficient. We MUST lock down the entire world. If the mandates are violated, offenders will be shot on sight to save lives.

He started this during the AIDS scare. He is EVIL personified, and that is not hyperbole. He is responsible for 100’s of thousands of dead from AIDS, millions more from this man made virus, the “vaccines” and the lack of treatments.

I am always pleased to hear when stuff works. I am quite sure with this goofy virus making its rounds, a lot of people are discovering the benefits of vitamins.

I would like to point out one vitamin which is extremely beneficial in many ways amongst it to boost your resistance. Aside from that, stay healthy and well always good to hear from a member of FR.

N-Acetyl Cysteine

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is a metabolite of the sulfur-containing amino acid, Cysteine. Cysteine is found in high protein foods, N-Acetyl Cysteine is not. N-Acetyl Cysteine is produced within the human body. Cysteine plays a role in the sulfation cycle, acting as a sulfur donor in phase II detoxification and as a methyl donor in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Cysteine also helps synthesize glutathione, one of the body’s most important natural antioxidants and detoxifiers. N-Acetyl-Cysteine is the acetylated form of L-Cysteine.

N-Acetyl Cysteine increases Glutathione Levels
N-Acetyl Cysteine is rapidly metabolized to intracellular glutathione. Glutathione acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body. Glutathione also detoxifies chemicals into less harmful compounds. N-Acetyl Cysteine also protects the body from acetaminophen toxicity and is used in hospitals for patients with acetaminophen poisoning. It has also been shown to be effective at treating liver failure from other causes as well.

N-Acetyl Cysteine Chelates Heavy Metals
Heavy metals like lead, mercury and arsenic are detoxified and removed from the body by N-Acetyl Cysteine . It also increases the excretion of zinc and other essential minerals when taken over an extended period. It is therefore necessary to supplement zinc, copper and other trace minerals when taking N-Acetyl Cysteine.

N-Acetyl Cysteine and the Immune System
Glutathione is known to aid in the transport of nutrients to lymphocytes and phagocytes, two major classes of immune cells, and to protect cell membranes. While purified glutathione is available as a dietary supplement, absorption is low, and N-Acetyl Cysteine is thought to be a better method of boosting cellular glutathione levels. N-Acetyl Cysteine is being investigated as a treatment for AIDS.

N-Acetyl Cysteine Breaks up Mucus
N-Acetyl Cysteine cleaves disulfide bonds by converting them to two sulfhydryl groups. This action results in the breakup of mucoproteins in lung mucus, reducing their chain lengths and thinning the mucus, improving conditions such as bronchitis and flu. Double-blind research has found that N-Acetyl Cysteine supplements improved symptoms and prevented recurrences in people with chronic bronchitis. N-Acetyl Cysteine at a dosage of 1,200 mg per day helps to prevent Influenza infection, reduces the symptoms of existing Influenza infection and reduces the duration of Influenza infections.

N-Acetyl Cysteine and Cancer
N-Acetyl CysteineN-Acetyl Cysteine has been shown to reduce the proliferation of certain cells lining the colon and may reduce the risk of colon cancer in people with recurrent polyps in the colon. Its action as an antioxidant and a glutathione precursor may also contribute to a protective effect against cancer.

N-Acetyl Cysteine CAUTION ! ! ! !

When taking N-acetyl cysteine it is recommended that two to three times as much vitamin C be taken at the same time. Failure to do so may result in more harm than good from taking this product because of the prolonged presence of the oxidized form of L-Cysteine. The vitamin C also helps keep the glutathione that is produced from the Cysteine in its reduced form so that it can continue acting as an antioxidant.

N-Acetyl Cysteine Dosage
Typical dosage recommendations are in the range of 250-1500mg of NAC daily for the majority of therapeutic benefits.

N-Acetyl Cysteine Safety
NAC is considered safe for consumption in its therapeutic dosage ranges. Individual reactions may vary and anyone experiencing adverse symptoms while taking N-Acetyl Cysteine should discontinue it.

Where to Get N-Acetyl Cysteine
Available from PureBulk vitamins
888 280 0050, 1640 Austin Rd. Roseburg OR.97471 You also can find them on the internet. They are prompt and honest.

What version does not dodge the vaccine?

Leaky vaccine? It is worse than that. It doesn’t freakin’ work!
