South Africa has practiced and modeled good science and good sense. Dr. Angelique Coetzee (pronounced koot-see-a) was among the first to alert South African epidemiologists to what has now been named the omicron variant of COVID-19. Or, as dubbed here, the “OMG! variant.”
A calm clinician, Coetzee had deduced that what she was seeing in her patients—and successfully treating—was a heretofore unseen COVID variant with attendant mild disease.
Quickly were South Africa’s skilled and responsible epidemiologists alerted and the genetic sequencing commenced. And, voila: A mutation! Also a completely unremarkable occurrence in the annals, and course, of epidemics. As molecular evolution and virology tell us, viruses—clever little RNA strands that they are—mutate during disease outbreaks without significant impact on the outbreak.
By the good doctor’s summation, “I’ve seen nothing in this variant that warrants Britain’s extreme response to it.” Ditto that of the rest of the world.
Coetzee and her colleagues were the ones encountering and treating omicron; but the cretins at the helm of the international COVID cartel, based in D.C., had all the answers. Nobody was going to crimp their style, not least a stoic, calm, rational clinician in the thick of it. Ethics and efficacy be damned, travel to and from a poor nation, South Africa, was forthwith suspended. After all, unlike “the world’s factory,” China—free to spread disease with impunity—poor nations are incapable of retaliating.

Kaching.
CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.
It was no accident that the Wuhanic plague showed up in a Presidential Election year.
btt
OMG.. Omicron Mutated Germ.
That’s my belief too but I would take it further and say that it was supposed to be released while hillary was president simply to take people’s freedoms away. In that case, we’d be in a similar shape to AUS. That’s why the entire West has lost it’s mind. It was always meant to be a similar insane global response. Instead, they came up with the idea to use it for mail in ballots for the steal and to try and make Trump look like he was mismanaging the situation.
That’s a good overview.
Bingo! What will the fascists do without a Schtick?
They’ve had this plan for decades. Gates and co talked about it all the time.
