The Corporate Media Freakout Over The Omicron Variant Isn’t Normal, It’s Psychotic
The Federalist ^ | 22 Dec 2021 | John Daniel Davidson

Posted on 12/24/2021 10:49:44 AM PST by Rummyfan

Omicron is here, and with it comes death and destruction — unless, that is, you cancel Christmas, hide in your homes, get all the boosters, double mask, and demand to see negative Covid tests and proof of vaccination for anyone who darkens your doorstep. Any precautions, no matter how seemingly outlandish, are seen as justifiable to protect yourself from this new and terrifying variant.

So it is, anyway, with a disturbingly large number of reporters and commentators in the corporate press, whose coverage and individual responses to Covid have become increasingly divorced from that of the rest of America. To watch CNN or read The New York Times, you’d think omicron was the most deadly strain of the virus to date, poised to overwhelm hospitals and leave a trail of death behind it.

“The Narrative” must continue, to keep The Citizenry controlled by fear

The tyrants like their new powers, and won’t give them up willingly!

I live in a very nice senior complex. Some of us have been fully vaxed, some have not. Nobody’s asking. And we get together all the time, at one-another’s places or at local restaurants. I heard that a few people here got covid, but no-one I know. One person died from it, but not a senior—she was someone’s daughter.

Have I mentioned fewer than 23434 times that I’m really irritated to be called “vulnerable,” just because I’m old. Healthiest person I know and my MD agrees.

There are millions of karens who are lapping it up. That is in between feeding their cats.

Not my information

What Laboratories Should Know:

There are no authorized, cleared, or approved diagnostic tests to specifically detect SARS-CoV-2 variants (Omicron or other variants). Currently, COVID-19 tests are designed and authorized to check broadly for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, not for specific variants.
The Omicron variant has a deletion in the spike (S) gene (Δ69-70). Some molecular tests with multiple genetic targets include a target covering the portion of the S gene where the deletion occurs. The presence of this mutation can result in an S-gene target failure (SGTF, also referred to as an S-gene drop out). The S-gene target will fail (return as negative) while other targets are expected to remain positive in the presence of this virus. SGTF can signal the need for sequencing to characterize the variant in a specimen.
SGTF has been observed in other variants and thus is not specific to the Omicron variant.

Agreed. But I’d say the WHOLE THING is hysteria, and psychotic.

Even Newsmax is caught up in the panic. They just had on a doctor who said that Omicron is the most contagious virus he has ever seen, and he recommended that everyone wear N-95 masks.

I wish the interviewer had asked him about the health hazards of wearing such masks for a lengthy period of time.

At department of health I think they actually get off during our staff meetings when the epidemiologists report why we have to be so scared. It’s seriously sick to see, they get gleeful

The writer is a fool if he doesn’t understand that all this ‘hysteria’ is actually a coldly rational psyop employed by evil and greedy people to further their acquisition of wealth and power. Nothing ‘psychotic’ about it. Perhaps be meant to write ‘psychopathic’ which would be accurate.

Too many people who don’t believe in God worshiping Fauci and Biden that will grant them immortality if they do just a few more things for salvation.

That’s your argument?

The foundation for their proclamation is the lie...

— “There are no authorized, cleared, or approved diagnostic tests to specifically detect SARS-CoV-2 variants....”

An excellent catch, friend. When one can refer to the sometimes “beloved” CDC and find such as this, those who cite the CDC as secular gospel ignore such as this. This would include all the previous “variants” breathlessly announced in past months.

Continuing the citation: “Results regarding the presence of the Omicron variant, or any other variant, should not be reported back to patients or providers and cannot be used for diagnostic purposes.”

CANNOT BE USED FOR DIAGNOSTIC PURPOSE.

Odd, that.
