With the Omicron variant of the coronavirus spreading through multiple countries with verified cases in Israel too, many have been reassured by statements made by doctors dealing with a widespread outbreak in South Africa...
However, in comments made to UK members of Parliament today, Dr. Paul Burton, chief medical officer at Moderna, struck a warning note.
“I do not think Omicron is a milder, less severe version of the current virus,” he told the Parliamentary committee on science and technology, as quoted by The Guardian.
“The idea it will push Delta out of the way and take over may occur in the future, but I think in the coming months these two viruses are going to co-exist, and Omicron, which I would maintain is actually a severe disease, will now infect people on a background of very, very strong Delta pressure.
“It will also lead to a situation where individuals will become co-infected … which gives the opportunity for this virus to further evolve and mutate which is a concerning and worrying situation,” he added.
“We certainly don’t have to panic as we have many, many tools at our disposal, and we’ve learnt so much about this virus over the last two years, and we can continue to fight it, but I think Omicron poses a real threat,” he warned.
“When you look at the data in South Africa, about 15% of people who are hospitalized are in the intensive care unit, and while there’s variability, if you look back earlier in the year, at a time of Delta surge in August, those numbers are about the same, 15%.
“So while the mortality rate we are seeing right now is mercifully lower, I think as a disease it is a very fit virus and it’s severe.”

Poses a threat to all that free money.
THis is roughly as unbiased as cows pushing poultry consumption.
This will be on every major MSM network at 12. Again at 4, 5 and 630. Then double down at 11 pm.
No, you purveyors of this snake oil, mr burton, are the real threat.
And they just happen to have a vax for it......................
the vaxx salesman says we need more vaxx
It’s the End of the Scamdemic ?
Of course it poses a threat. Without that threat they don’t make hundreds of millions more. We are being betrayed by big pharma & big gubmint. So what else is new.
2 years ago the MEDIA would not have even given this turd and others like him, a listen...but now they are GODS
My question to people like this is, “how much stock do your own?”
Any more words describing what they say or what they think are just wasted, not worth the time.
The only real threat I see is the likes of Moderna.
The fox is in charge of the henhouse.
“Poses a threat to all that free money.”
Yup. and a threat to the profit margins.
What a little puke this guy is. All the catchwords down pat. F him
There are already studies out showing that the “vaccines” are not only ineffective against omicron... they actually lower people’s resistance to it. The threat is that it will show what a farce these experimental “vaccines” actually are and lower their profits.
What shuts up all leftist acquaintances about the Vax is I say: “Remember when you used to say ‘no blood for oil?’ Remember when you used to say that Iraq WMD was all about making corporations like Haliburton rich? Well, what have we got here?”
