Britain reports first death with Omicron coronavirus variant
Reuters ^ | December 13, 2021 | By Guy Faulconbridge and Michael Holden

Posted on 12/13/2021 4:41:08 AM PST by House Atreides

At least one patient has died in the United Kingdom after contracting the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday.

"Sadly at least one patient has now been confirmed to have died with Omicron," Johnson told reporters.

“So I think the idea that this is somehow a milder version of the virus - I think that's something we need to set on one side - and just recognise the sheer pace at which it accelerates through the population."…

… Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the Omicron coronavirus variant was spreading at a "phenomenal rate" and now accounted for about 40% of infections in London.

Did anyone listen to Mark Levin last week, his radio show, where he played a montage of all the leftists saying they would not take the vaccine when Trump was in office? Joe Xiden and KamalaHo said this as well. So what changed? They were paid off once they took power.

Did this person have co-morbidity de, like being old, being overweight, having diabetes or some kind of lung disease? What was his or her nutritional status (being low in Vitamin D, for example, is a known risk factor)? Did he or she have the shots, or not? Any heart issues typical of a reaction to the shots?

How many people in the UK have had it? If it is 500 or 1,000, then it isn’t too virulent and we would be FAR better off if people took more Vitamin D, zinc and Quercetin (or Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin instead of the Quercetin).

Oh, and this BS about a booster - if the first 2 didn’t help, how is getting more going to do any good. The Omikron variant (if such a thing really exists and can actually be identified, and I am skeptical about that) only popped up a few weeks ago - how could there be sufficient vaxxes available to be able to tell people to get in LOI e for them, even if one was developed?

These questions must be answered.

Given the status of "health care" in the UK and how horrible it is, we should all be prepared to see dead bodies from the Omicron variant laying in the streets any day now.

The fear porn must be ramped up to keep us all cowering in our homes.

How do we know this is true?

The basic trust in the media, science and politic has been destroyed by the left - there is no truth anymore, only propaganda to advance their agenda.

Why do I feel like I am living in the Soviet Union of the 1950s. All we need now is for our great leader to issue a five year plan for recovery.

Is the Patient over the age of 80? This is a useless story except for the fact that its taken weeks already to hear about one death.

After he/she/it got pumped full of remdesivir and put on a respirator by the NHS. Then it’s reported like the virus killed him/her/it.

"Sadly at least one patient has now been confirmed to have died with Omicron," Johnson told reporters.

And that is all the details about this "patient". No gender, age, comorbidities listed. Could have been a 90 year old person that weighed 300lbs and had diabetes, high blood pressure and terminal lung cancer with a life expectancy of 3 months. Could have been a healthy 12 year old who had two jabs plus a booster.

As usual, no detail on co-morbidities or health condition of the patient…

“So, a person died in the UK. That is sad for the person and their friends and loved ones. But for a country this is newsworthy and a prod to actions to destroy freedom and commerce? This is insanity. Pure insanity. For rational people, that is. But for those who wish to exert control on people, it isn’t insanity. That is a plan.”

You have put your finger on the essence of the issue. Control.
