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.

I don’t think they needed to be paid off. Their Ideology Uber Alles said they could now take it once 45 was out of office.

...confirmed to have died with Omicron...

Emphasis is mine. Died with something is very different than died of something. {insert all kinds of silly examples of dying with vs of things}

But of course, here we go with the "I told you so" fear mongering. "We cannot let this demonstrably mild variant run through the populace! Why, one whole person has died with it over in the UK! We must lock down, mask up, stand on our left foot and close down the economy! Why, if only more of our people weren't so selfish and got vaxxed..."

Because the answer to anything and everything seems to be - get vaxxed, get boosted. The dog knocked over the Christmas tree - probably because I'm not vaxxed.

Video of Neil’s comments is totally worth watching ... all is good, but it gets better as he goes along, IMO.

Died WITH.

Not from.

Nuff said.

The above states died from.

Wonder if genomic testing was done on the sample...

Also, wonder if the case was acquired in the hospital?

If so, thank you NHS!

Did this person have co-morbidity [...] 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?

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

Probably a WW II veteran.

The elephant in the room? No mention in the story about the victim being vaccinated. Had he/she been unvaccinated, they’d have trumpeted that from Big Ben’s Tower.....

Wow, that’s a good link. Looks like the UK government is desperately afraid of the spread of natural immunity and the imminent arrival of herd immunity and low-level endemic status. And, sadly, a good number of Brits seem to have fallen for the FEAR-PORN.

Rule #1 - never believe anything that is originating from Sajid Javid.

We should be demanding names, data, and methods being used to determine the BS we’re given. How anyone thinks it is ok for the government to decide, at their discretion, what rights we can now have and justify it with using the words “science” or “experts” is beyond me.

We warned in the beginning that the “cure must not be worse than the disease”. We’ve since devolved into shear madness with no end in sight. No debate on the ‘science’. No treatments allowed. No scrutiny of the data.

Just submit and do as you’re told. If you have to ask your government “when do I get my freedom back?” then realize you already have a very big problem as well as the answer.

“Sadly at least one patient has now been confirmed to have died with Omicron,”
Translation: Patient died of Remdesiver Protocol.

I would not doubt that the patient probably died from the side effects of Remdesiver as opposed to really dying from Omicron. I wonder if Johnson is going to lock down the whole country because of this? I wouldn’t doubt that either.

“... patient has been confirmed to have died with omicron...”

Dying WITH omicron is different than dying FROM omicron.

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

The headline is deliberately misleading. This is why I loathe the mainstream media.

“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..."

How come one death means we have to "set aside" all the emerging data about Omicron, we have to "set aside" everything that South Africa doctors have observed?

But with thousands of deaths within days of taking the vaccine, we're told that's normal, it's older people compromising the data, it's unknown comorbidities, and so on.

The patient was also stuck by a double-decker bus prior to being diagnosed with Corvid.

Without seeing the dead patient’s medical records and death certificate, who the heck knows.
