Stop the Panic: The Latest Xi Variant Isn't Making People Sicker
Townhall.com ^ | 29 November A.D. 2021 | Katie Pavlich

On Friday the stock market crashed by 900 points as politicians in cities across the globe started to panic over the latest variant of Wuhan coronavirus.

But based on what we know so far, the latest version of the disease isn't making people sicker. South African Doctor Angelique Coetzee, who is on the team that discovered the variant, has repeatedly said symptoms are "very very mild."

"What we are seeing clinically in South Africa, and remember that I’m at the epicenter, that’s where I’m practicing, is extremely mild," Coetzee said during an interview with the BBC. "We haven’t admitted anyone. I spoke to other colleagues of mine: The same picture."

"What we have to worry about now is that when older, unvaccinated people are infected with the new variant, and if they are not vaccinated, we are going to see many people with a severe disease,” she told the Telegram.

Information from Israeli health officials also shows this to be true.

Prof. Dror Mevorach, head of the coronavirus department at Hadassah University Hospital Ein Karem, said the preliminary reports on the clinical condition of people infected with the new variant are encouraging. “If it continues this way, this might be a relatively mild illness compared to the delta variant, and paradoxically, if it takes over, it will lead to lower infection rates,” and it will be easier to deal with globally.

“It’s still early to say, but not everything that looks bad is really bad. At this point it’s important to collect information, not speculations,” he added.

Meanwhile Dr. Anthony Fauci is continuing his usual fearmongering and warning Americans lockdowns could be on the way.

Unconvinced here...

Like most you are a tactician and can't think strategically. You don't really understand history. We need tacticians for sure but strategic thinking is what wins in the long run.

We don’t need rebellion what we need is secession.


YES WE DO. It is all but inevitable. The only thing left to decide now is if its a cordial or violent separation. I don’t know about others here but I cannot and will not live the rest of my life with the left. They do not believe in anything i believe in and ultimately they hate us so much that they want us dead.

We cannot save the whole country. But we can save huge chunks of it and build from there.

“impeach Biden”

Any person negatively impacted by the Biden/Schumer Brady gun bill which typically destroyed your ability to securely possess a gun under Amendment IV or the Biden Medicare/Medicaid vaccination religious test could file federal suit to remove Biden under the Amendment XIV, Section 3 rebellion clause.

Federal courts have as much right to enforce Section 3 of Amendment XIV as they do to enforce Section 1 of Amendment XIV.

The Taliban pretty much controlled rural Afghanistan.

They could have cut off the food supply to any Afghan city easily.

Let's pray this is true. A milder variant that makes people immune to more dangerous variants would be the best outcome. If this is true the hospitalization rates would drop rather than grow.

“Pandemics end naturally when the virulent virus mutates into a much less virulent, highly communicable form.”

How’s that working out for RNA-based HIV?

ExTexasRedhead : "Billions Of People Are Affected By This & They Don’t Realize It | Dr. Robert Malone 2021"

"Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA vaccine, breaks down the “mass formation” phenomenon
that makes it difficult to reason with those who have fallen victim to the globalist leader propaganda."

The best explanation that I have found of the current series of crises that keep us off-balance, 'on edge', at this time
through a series of viral infections, a series of injections and 'booster shots”,
and explains why we find ourselves isolated from those whom we love, who still don't realize that they are losing their freedom and 'God given rights'.
Furthermore, it explains why and how they don't hear us as we issue the alarm to them.
It is well-worth the time for the 13 minute video !!

The Omicron variant spreads fast but is not that dangerous. That's what the doctors in South Africa have said so far.

Mass hypnosis huh. Perhaps. But I think it is people going with what is perceived as the majority.

Markets were up this morning - AND a few days ago Cramer said this was a buying opportunity so I figured some democrat ‘in the know’ leaked the truth...

Well then, Biden and Fauci will try to make damn sure the variant doesn’t get to America. And, as usual, they’ll fail.

I’m convinced that Repubicants are so fake and so phony even if the had veto proof majorities after ‘22 election they would never impeach Biden even though there are at least 3 or 4 real reasons to do so.

For example, after Trump started to make real changes, GWB and Romney joined the marxists to denounce him.
