Doctor Who Discovered Omicron Slams 'Hype,' Travel Bans
NEWSMAX ^ | November 29, 2021 | Nick Koutsobinas

National Chair of the South African Medical Association, Dr. Angelique Coetzee, who made an early discovery of the Omicron variant amongst patients, says "the hype" that's been created surrounding the variant is unwarranted.

According to Reuters, "the variant was detected and announced by South Africa's National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) on Nov. 25 from samples taken from a laboratory from Nov. 14 to Nov. 16."

Coetzee told Reuters that in one of the "biggest hospitals" in her "area" and country of South Africa, there is only one patient who is COVID-positive on ventilation, and there has been no confirmation, as of Sunday, that Omicron is the cause.

"The hype," Coetzee says, "that's been created currently out there in the media and worldwide doesn't correlate with the clinical picture. And it doesn't warrant to just cut us off from any traveling, and bans South Africa as if we are the villains in the whole process — should not be like that."

Coetzee, who is also on the Ministerial Advisory Committee on Vaccines, says, "looking at the mildness of the symptoms we are seeing currently, there’s no reason for panicking as we don’t see severely ill patients."

"I also checked with the hospital, some of the hospitals in my area, and one of the biggest hospitals they only have one patient currently that's COVID-positive on a ventilator, and they don't even know whether it's COVID — you know it's Delta- or whether it is Omicron-related."

Reports of the new variant have since resulted in several European countries, such as the United Kingdom, issuing travel bans on southern African countries, a ban that South Africa has strongly contested.

the purpose of the manufactured virus
is FEAR.

CDC, WHO, FDA, and BIGpharma
are not interested in health, otherwise they
would have allowed preventative meds and therapies.

THEIR ONLY GOALS ARE: control, fear, and money.

I for one do not believe a single new thing reported about covid other than vaxxed are super spreaders and die up to 300% more than umvaxxed... The rest... Is meaningless...

Yeah, but it's effective, unlike the shots. Still, the uselessness, and adverse effects, of the shots won't stop people from lining up to get them every month. Fear is the mindkiller.

A South African doctor who was one of the first to suspect a different coronavirus strain among patients said that symptoms of the Omicron variant were so far mild and could be treated at home.

I guess the good doctor has not learned that this is not about the virus. It’s about control.

Fear brings Them power, power brings Them control, control brings them money, money buys Them media people, media people tells other people how to think, other people thinking correctly brings Them more power, until absolute dictatorship achieved.

Ok, quarantines are not about people being good or bad, its about people bring well or sick, which is a totally different thing. Secondly, South Africa has a warm climate (which improves people’s outcomes with respiratory illnesses), and South Africa also has universal BCG vaccination, and BCG vaccines have been clinically proven to reduce severe respiratory illness across the board.
