Moderna's chief medical officer: 'Omicron poses a real threat'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 14/12/21

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.”

Apparently, Moderna is so poor that they have to beg people using lies to do so,, to get their shots now. Poor poor Moderna.

Get the flu. Go to bed for a couple of days. Drink lots of water and get some vitamin c into you. Sleep.

That’s it.

Vitamin C????! Water???! Don’t you know 100% of water drinkers die one day! As for Vitamin C, it’s deadly poison! Jus like HCQ and Ivermectin. As for sleep, 100% of sleepers might not wake up eventually. Shakespeare even warned of it! Don’t trust anything that isn’t labeled Moderna!
