2 weeks ago, Yahoo ran an article on how Africa is basically COVID-free with fewer fabs.

A week later, Africa becomes ground zero for “omicron”. Boy, what a coincidence s/

Has the “vaccine” mutated to offset the Xi mutations?

I fail to see how taking the vaccine repeatedly will protect you against an ever changing virus. Either it is protecting me or it cannot protect me.

Oh yes but the health ministry of Botswana and South Africa said it is mmild. At this point I trust Botswana more than the US government. (Botswana and Namibia are actually nice places, look it up. I want to go there for safari one day.)

“The White House on Sunday called on people to get their booster shots as a matter of urgency, as the new variant Omicron was confirmed to have arrived in North America.”

We know the vaccines don’t prevent contracting the Delta and other Covid viruses, nor do they prevent a vaccinated person from spreading Covid. Why would the government believe the vaccine will work with the new variant?

IMO its everywhere already. It's what Coronaviruses do. The laboratories have just now become adept in diagnosing the strain.

29 Nov: 7News Australia: South African doctor who discovered Omicron COVID variant slams worldwide ‘hype’
by Summer Woolley
A South African doctor who was among the first in the country to flag the possibility of a new COVID-19 variant says the “hype” around Omicron “doesn’t correlate” with the “clinical picture”...

Only a quarter of South Africans are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 despite a sufficient supply of doses, owing partly to logistical problems getting them out to rural areas, but also to vaccine hesitancy and apathy among the population...

25 Nov: The Nation, Thailand: from News24: South Africa asks J&J, Pfizer to stop sending vaccines
Africa’s most developed economy has fully protected just 35% of adults, more than six months after doses were first made available to the public. About 120,000 people received shots on Tuesday, less than half the daily peak.
“We have over 16 million doses in country, or more than 150 days at present consumption,” Nicholas Crisp, deputy director-general of the Department of Health, said by text message Wednesday. “It makes no sense to stockpile and risk expiry when others are desperate for supplies.”...

It “would be wise” to use the excess shots as boosters, tweeted Shabir Madhi, Professor of Vaccinology at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. “Let those who willing to be vaccinated benefit.”...

29 Nov: Sky News Australia: President of South Africa calls for countries closing borders following Omicron outbreak to ‘urgently reverse their decisions’
by Crystal Wu
“We call upon all those countries that have imposed travel bans on our country and our southern African sister countries to immediately and urgently reverse their decisions,” (President) Ramaphosa said during his first address to the nation on Sunday.
“This is a clear and completely unjustified departure from the commitment that many of these countries made at the meeting of G20 countries in Rome last month.
“The prohibition of travel is not informed by science… The only thing the prohibition on travel will do is to further damage the economies of the affected countries and undermine their ability to respond to, and recover from, the pandemic.”

South African officials on Saturday criticised the travel bans, insisting it is being “punished” and not “applauded” for detecting the variant early...

WHO Head of Emergencies Dr Michael Ryan has cautioned against imposing travel restrictions, noting that variants detected in other countries had not led to the same response...
“We also note that new variants have been detected in other countries. Each of those cases have had no recent links with Southern Africa. It’s worth noting that the reaction to those countries is starkly different to cases in Southern Africa.
“The latest round of travel bans is akin to punishing South Africa for its advanced genomic sequencing and the ability to detect new variants quicker.”...

So if the vaccine works, why do they need a booster?

If the vaccine doesn’t work, why do they need a booster?

We are beyond insane.

This is evil.

The vaxx does not work against the variants. I wish it did, but it does not.

Thankfully, based on the little bit of first-hand info we have on this new variant it appears relatively mild. They cannot stop it any more than they did the last version or the one before.

No one with a functioning brain believes these people anymore. They’re simply fear merchants using the virus and its “variants” for their own political and economic gain, and a distraction from things like Biden’s dementia and the upcoming Ghislaine Maxwell trial.

America needs a second opinion.

2 weeks ago, Yahoo ran an article on how Africa is basically COVID-free with fewer fabs.

I believe that would be sub-Saharan Africa (e.g., Uganda, Nigeria, Congo, etc) - the band of countries near the Equator. South Africa (and Botswana) are technically sub-Saharan, but far from the Equator, and they've typically been hit fairly hard by the Coronaviruses (delta, etc) - and been highly vaccinated.

The reason why the sub-Saharan countries have had low incidents of 'CoVid' cases isn't clear. Their vaccination levels are low, and they have high use of Ivermectin and/or HCQ. However, they also have a fairly young population, and the people that have survived to their adulthood have probably been exposed to a lot of 'tough' bugs - so their immune systems would be hardy. Also, they probably don't suffer from the Western disease of obesity. Soo... take your pick. They've been fairly resistant to CoVid due to their use of Ivermectin, or due to these other factors.
