You have to be kidding with that last link. There’s no information whatsoever other than “get vaccinated”. They mention nothing about symptoms, how severe or how mild. No mention of false positives, etc.

Whatever happened to the dreaded Mu variant? I remember when the world was going to END over that one as well. Now, nobody even remembers it.

Pray this is true.

As bizarre as it sounds if this is true, this is a strain you would *want* to spread to drown out more harmful variants.


So of course Brandon and Fauxi are repeatedly saying get vaxxed ASAP...

Post #52 argued that "the jab" (although there are many "jabs" which could require more study WRT "hybrid immunity") dramatically increases the effectiveness of natural immunity. I don't know if that effectiveness will wear off in 6 months or a year. I don't know how severe the breakthrough cases for vaxxed , natrally immune. and hybrid-immune people are. I don't know how resistant hybrid-immune and naturally immune people who take vitamin D and zinc are. Lots of variables swirling around.

Eight months ago, this exact same article was written with “Delta” in place of “Omicron.” How tedious all of this garbage is.

The CDC said on December 2 that it anticipates vaccination will "continue to offer protection against hospitalization and death" from Omicron, but that the mutations identified by scientists will likely result in "significant reductions" of the ability of some types of antibodies from vaccination or a prior infection to neutralize the virus.

I don’t know. Can the market dictate to the policy makers? For 30 years the market has not for interest rates. Will bond return rates skyrocket forcing the hand of the Federal Reserve?
