ESPN ^ | 12-23-2021 | Kevin Seifert

The NFL's new COVID-19 protocols are based on data that shows the disease is not spreading from asymptomatic individuals, according to chief medical officer Allen Sills, a significant departure from the stance of public health authorities for much of the pandemic.

Whoa, wait! If this is true, WTH have we been doing for the last 1.5 years??? Almost all of the onerous restrictions that have been placed on people were justified to some extent by the claim that asymptomatic people were spreading covid.

I like this news and hope it gets backed up from other similar sources soon.

This is good news for everyone if it holds up.

Uncle Joe is not going to like this.

Didn’t he just promise a testing kit in every pot?

Yeah but you have to figure whoever is furnishing those test kits are somehow affiliated with the Biden Crime Crew.

The NFL?? They just don’t want to have to quarantine players who have gotten the shots then test positive. They must be losing money.

Recall just a month or two ago psaki laughed and mocked the idea of "free" tests for everyone.

She is probably one of the sorriest PS I've seen in a long time.

Asymptomatic = a body’s immune system kills that shit the instant it tries to invade

It's been known for quite some time that there's basis for thinking that "asymptomatic" transmission is a threat. Just as it's been known for quite some that outdoor transmission, even in crowds, is not a meaningful threat. It remains the case that the vast majority of transmission takes place in congregant settings (e.g., nursing homes), hospitals, and, to a lesser extent, domestic settings (at home, among family members).

Pretty much every single thing that the CDC has "recommended" for responding to the pandemic has been wrong, if not affirmatively counterproductive. Clean miss. The CDC should have been disbanded decades ago.

Correction: “It’s been known for quite some time that there’s NO basis for thinking that ‘asymptomatic’ transmission is a threat.” Typo on my part. Sorry.

going off script in Australia...and freaking out the FakeNewsMSM:

24 Dec: ABC Australia: Queenslanders told spread of COVID strain of Omicron is ‘necessary’ — what does that mean?
By Stephanie Zillman
Queensland’s new Chief Health Officer John Gerrard has been telling people this week the spread of COVID-19 in the Sunshine State is not only inevitable — it’s “necessary”.
“In order for us to go from the pandemic phase to an endemic phase, the virus has to be widespread,” Dr Gerrard said.
“We all have to have immunity [and] there’s two ways you can do that – by being vaccinated or getting infected.
“Once we’ve done that, once the virus is spreading, once we all have some degree of immunity, the virus becomes endemic and that is what is going to happen.”

It is a message that may seem at odds with the concurrent messages to get tested, isolate following contact with an infected party, wear masks, and social distance wherever possible...

Dr Trauer (Monash University epidemiologist) said it would be a mistake to dismiss Omicron symptoms as mild.
“Queensland’s epidemic has only been going for a few days, and it takes people a while with COVID to get sick enough to need to be admitted to hospital,” he said.
“So the fact that one person has been admitted to hospital in Queensland so far is essentially no indication whatsoever of the severity of the epidemic that we can expect.
“As we transition to an endemic state, we will be able to get back to normal but that’s I think it’s at least three … probably six to 12 months away.”

23 Dec: 4MK Radio: Queensland records 369 Covid cases as Omicron spreads across communities
Dr Gerrard says 163 Covid cases are being managed at homes, while 93 cases are in hospital, but only ***one patient is there due to being sick from the virus***.
https://www.4mk.com.au/news/local-news/138279-queensland-records-369-covid-cases-as-omicron-spreads-across-communities

Tweet 17hrs ago: Allison Pearson, UK Telegraph
Astonishing fact. 70% of London’s so-called “COVID hospitalizations”are diagnosed several days after admission for other ailments.
They are NOT COVID patients.
A positive test 8 days after admission means the hospital basically gave the patient COVID.

23 Dec: Summit News: Australia’s Chief Pharmacist Says Public Needs to Accept Boosters & Mask Mandates For “Many Years” to Come
Bio-security police state to become a permanent fixture.
by Paul Joseph Watson
Asserting that the bio-security police state will become a permanent fixture, Trent Twomey, National President of the Pharmacy Guild, says Aussies will have to get a COVID booster jab “every six months” if that’s what experts tell them to do.
“I think booster shots, just like your annual influenza shot [are] something we just need to accept, its [Covid-19] not going to be with us for many weeks and months, it’s going to be with us for many years,” said Twomey...
“It’s just something we’re gonna have to do,” he added. “[If] we need one every six months, then you know what Australia, let’s get one every six months.”

Twomey also insisted that mask wearing could remain “for a long time,” something he characterized as “not that inconvenient.”...

23 Dec: 9News Australia: Adelaide man says ‘false’ jab on immunisation record has ‘destroyed his life’ and cost him his job
By Emily McPherson
“This is my problem — I can’t get the second jab, because I have not had the first jab.
“Yet, officially, I have had the first jab, so I can’t get the first jab until it’s removed from my (immunisation record)...

Mr Goldmsith’s most pressing issue was he needed to be vaccinated for his job as a courier driver, which involved delivering items to hospitals and aged care homes.
Unable to get vaccinated, Mr Goldsmith said he was fired a month ago.
“I went to another job interview and the bloke asked if I was vaccinated,” Mr Goldsmith said.
“I said, ‘no’ and I gave him the run-down of what has happened and he said, ‘I can’t give you a job until you are vaccinated’.”...

The error on his immunisation register had put him in a perilous financial position, Mr Goldsmith said.
“I’ve had to sell my car just so I can survive, so that I can pay my rent and bills and buy food,” he said.
“I need this sorted before I end up on the streets.”

Mr Goldsmith said the mistake also meant he would not be able to see his family at Christmas, as his nephew had leukemia and he did not want to risk potentially exposing him to the virus while unvaccinated...

Ploy to panic buying and making people rely on government for a test. I bought some many months ago 9-12 month expiration date. Suddenly all ones in store today: manufactured November 21st and expire March 2022. All orchestrated
