The first real-world study looking at 78,000 Omicron cases in South Africa found the risk of hospitalisation is 29 per cent lower compared to the Wuhan strain, and 23 per cent lower than delta, with vaccines holding up well.
Far fewer people have also needed intensive care from Omicron, with just five per cent of cases admitted to ICU compared to 22 per cent of delta patients, the study shows.
Professor Robert Dingwall, a government COVID advisor from Nottingham Trent University, said it was clear from the South African data that panic was unjustified ... “The Omicron situation seems to be increasingly absurd. There is obviously a lot of snobbery about South African science and medicine but their top people are as good as any you would find in a more universally developed country.
“They clearly don’t feel that the elite panic over here is justified, even allowing for the demographic differences in vulnerability — which are probably more than cancelled by the higher vaccination rate. “My gut feeling is that Omicron is very much like the sort of flu pandemic we planned for — a lot of sickness absence from work in a short period, which will create difficulties for public services and economic activity, but not of such a severity as to be a big problem for the NHS and the funeral business.”...
At the time of the study there had been no deaths....
The study also showed that the odds of reinfection were lower than during delta, suggesting that people who had a delta infection may be better protected....
Kate Bingham, who led the Government’s vaccine programme, said the data from South Africa were encouraging: “It may be that Omicron is a more mild disease. It is quite clearly widely divergent from the original Wuhan strain.”

Guess the Elites will have to increase the "extreme" rhetoric even more!
Don’t let smear merchant Duggie see this ...
Actually, it’s better than the seasonal flu, at least in terms of ending the bogus pandemic. Herd immunity looks to be happening despite the politicians and world health organizations best attempts thwart it,
It ain’t about the flu.
It’s about killing 90% of the global population.
The globalists have been preparing for the Great Reset for decades.
Did you notice how Walmart had professional signs and arrows on the floor the day after the lockdowns were announce?
Did you notice how they all use the same words and the same “logic” when shoving “vaccines” and masks down our throats?
There is a reason for that, and its name is Klaus Schwab.

Omicron is a cold that confers COVID immunity. TPTB are terrified of it.
But no, it is not going away and even with heard immunity Covid will likely be causing people to have common cold symptoms for the foreseeable future. We can also count on politicians, the media, big tech, bio tech and many in the medical community to continue to manipulate the data and the statistics derived from it to try and keep the panic going for fun, profit, and control and political gain.

I hope this is true. I want this pandemic to end which is why I support the vaccines and try to counter the irresponsible attacks on the vaccines. But, hoping natural mutation of the virus is a solution that is totally reliant upon good fortune and luck.
ONE death, worldwide
While it is mild the Jabbed are sharing it.
Then you have Heart issues cropping up in your kids. jabs boys https://www.americanlibertyemail.com/articles/fda-hearing-covid-vaccines-killing-2-for-every-1-life-saved/
HERE’S the man that that article slanders:
Articles like the one you linked to _do NOT_ do a service to humanity - those are HIT PIECES devoid of any examination of the FACTS.
It is now FACT the vexxines do more harm to the young than working to provide ANY sort of margin of protection.
DO YOU want to know what the rational is BEHIND using the vexxine ONLY on the part of the population MOST impacted by Covbid-19?
It is covered in this article on the Wm Briggs website:

Here is the important part excerpted:
VAX SIDE EFFECTS
I’ve been asked by a reader to give a simpler summary than the simple (but still complex) summary of Eugyppius’s explanation of original antigenic sin. Here’s his summary.
Shortest possible summary: the vax is allowing variants to spread, and harming immune systems.
Longer summary (but please read the original): when infected by the coronadoom, people who were previously infected with certain other coroanviruses did not clear the doom as well as those people who were not infected at all (with the doom or other coronaviruses). Therefore it’s best to let kids get the disease, like we all will.
Here’s Eugyppius’s own second attempt (slightly edited, with permission, from an email):
- - - quote - - - - - - -
Your immune system can direct faster (pre-learned) antibody attack against a new virus infection. Or, it can direct a slower (learning) response against it. If the virus is familiar in any way, your immune system strongly prefers the learned attack, because the advantages of being fast outweigh the advantages of always having a perfectly targeted attack.
Your memory B-cells send antibodies against the virus. The B-cells stick to the virus proteins and interfere with their functions. A heavy response from your memory B-cells makes it harder for your naive B-cells (the ones that learn how to produce new antibodies against novel viruses) to learn anything new about the invader.
There is an array of regulatory mechanisms at work here, and we don’t understand all of them, but at the very least, the new virions are now covered in these memory B-cells, and this fact alone makes it harder for the naive B-cells to imprint on the new threat. They can’t get a good read on it, because of all the countermeasures.
Now, just because the antibodies stick to the virus, doesn’t mean they’re neutralising it. If they’re not well targeted, the virions may still retain a lot of their ability to invade cells and replicate.
Original Antigenic Sin, or immune imprinting, happens with natural infections, not just vaccines. The concept was invented in the context of studying influenza antibodies, as it was noticed that everyone has antibodies, typically to the flu strains current when they were children, and not to the most recent influenza varieties.
It is presumed that this is why flu vaccines don’t work very well: Your immune system has already imprinted on the strains responsible for your first infection. The learned response is favoured over updated responses. This makes you liable to reinfection in the future, sure, but you still have substantial protection against severe symptoms. What is more, younger kids pick up targeted precise immunity to these new flu strains (better than your off-target immunity), and their immunity slows these strains down and helps protect you too (just as your immunity will protect them, when the old strains you had as a kid come back).
So the system works well enough.
The problem is when a totally new virus, like SARS-2, enters the field. It is just similar enough to common human coronaviruses (a third or more of the viruses that cause the common cold) to elicit a learned antibody response in many adults. This interferes with your immune system’s ability to imprint on SARS-2 and send effective antibodies against it. It looks like this is one of the reasons adults have more serious symptoms. Their immune systems are trained on common harmless human-infecting betacoronaviruses, they send antibodies against these common coronaviruses against SARS-2, and they don’t work nearly as well as targeted antibodies would.
If we just left everyone alone, this problem would be rectified in coming generations. Kids with highly adaptive immune systems would get infected with SARS-2, have mild symptoms, and many of their immune systems would imprint on this virus as it does on the other betacoronaviruses that infect us. Of course SARS-2 would mutate in the future and their natural immunity would go a little off-target. They might get reinfected with mild symptoms, as you get the common cold now and again.
Give them spike-only vaccines, though, and it looks like their immune system is indefinitely (permanently?) focused on the spike protein alone, rather than the whole virus. The vaccinated don’t seem to be able to generate antibodies against other virus proteins as easily, because the learned response (antibodies against spike) is preferred over learning to produce antibodies against other parts of the virus.
And the spike is changing; in fact, it is the least stable protein in the whole virus right now. Again, learned response to the old spike will be preferred over a more optimal response to the changing spike.
Double or triple vaccinating kids is training their immune systems to react to this one unstable protein. As that protein continues to evolve, their imprinted immune probably won’t go just a little bit off target. They may lose sight of the target more or less entirely, prioritising increasingly useless antibody responses against a part of the virus that is invulnerable to this attack.

Solution: knock it off with vax requirements. Only allow the most vulnerable, say those over 65 and those with severe comoborbidities, to take it. Certainly do not mandate it; certainly do not give it to kids. Certainly don’t take a vax if you’ve had the doom and recovered, which, the odds are, is most of you at this point.
Operation Warp Speed, minus the name, was planned a decade ago. Moderna's vaccine was done before the outbreak.
Many top medical and public health experts treating and examining COVID 19 agree this is the most comprehensive book about who and what is behind the draconian measures that are crushing individual freedoms and many of the societies and economies of the Western World including the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Australia.
Three of these medical doctors have confirmed this in their introductions to the book: physicians Peter McCullough MD MPH, Vladimir "Zev" Zelenko MD and Elizabeth Lee Vliet MD. They are echoed by endorsements from Robert F Kennedy Jr. and Paul Alexander PhD.
This book thoroughly documents solid answers to these tragic questions about the global predators who are reaping enormous benefits from COVID-19 suffering including wealth, power and the destruction of America as an opposition to globalism.
Who are the "they"-these Global Predators? What are their motives and their plans for us?
How can we defend against them?
Why did they:
■ Plan Warp Speed for a SARS-CoV pandemic years before it came?
■ Distribute mRNA and DNA vaccines that killed lab animals and now humans?
■ Collaborate with the Chinese making pandemic viruses & bioweapons?
■ Hide the origin of SARS-CoV-2 in the Wuhan Institute?
■ Let China spread the virus around the world on passenger planes?
■ Give so much power to Dr. Anthony Fauci?
Why do they continue to:
■ Prohibit cheap, available, safe and effective COVID-19 treatments?
■ Impose draconian closures on our society and economy?
■ Disproportionately harm or destroy small businesses and churches?
■ Make us wear masks and distance ourselves from each other?
■ Exaggerate the death rate from COVID-19 to frighten us?
■ Hide the high and growing vaccine death rate from all of us?
■ Make experimental "vaccines" that turn our bodies against ourselves?

This is from a major Canadian newspaper. It gives some hope that people are waking up! But most Canadians are mindless sheeps. Official stats say 77.8% are double jabbed in Canada.
I have a relative in Canada who just passed away. Bad health to begin with, so not sure if the double jabbing killed them. For sure, their health deteriorated shortly after the double jab. But their death may be worse w/o the double jab /s
We are not seeing massive deaths from the jabbed so far. 5% have adverse reactions, but not all of them die.
It looks like they are lining us my with 4-6 boosters. So, it is the boosters that kill and weaken the immune system.
What kind of health would be left after taking 10 shots?
I was looking at the Canada sub on reddit. Alot of people are saying no to boosters. That sub was pro-vax not long ago.
2022 will be worse than 2021 and 2020.
I’m not sure I understand. Did vaccines harm Russian small business in Russia? Did Putin sign on to a program of killing off Russian citizens?
They’re just an outlier

No, that isn’t a fact, but keep spinning your conspiracy theories.
Now please explain why a million healthcare workers would purposefully want to do harm to their children?
re: “No, that isn’t a fact, but keep spinning your conspiracy theories.”
Moron, it’s not ‘conspiracy theory’.
Boy are you stupid ... can’t reason with an idiot that can’t grasp facts, can’t use logic, and is innumerate.
And, of course, there is NO fixing stupid.
Enjoy the jabs of the vexxine of your choice. I don’t want to hear ANY complaints from you when you’re affected by the ‘jabs’ either.
LOL
But will they listen?
I doubt it. They have too much invested in new-gained power.
A family member got the flu shot this year.
I didn’t think fast enough, but should have asked them why?
No one has died from the flu since March 2000.

I see you have no explanation of why a million healthcare workers would purposefully want to do harm to their children? (other than a conspiracy theory).
BTW, I’ve had both of my pfizer shots and a booster. You’ll hear no complaints from me about effects of the ‘jabs’.
