The new strain of COVID-19 is out of control and people need to behave as if they already have the virus, especially in the new Tier 4 areas of England, Health Secretary Matt Hancock has warned.

“They are trying to panic people into taking the Planned-Demic vaccine.”

🌡️ Manufactured heat.

Translate these “gates” to 1978 and tell me what they are for.

Message yet.

Thanks for letting me know.

I am saddened but not surprised. Twitter is cracking down on any type of dissent from establishment group-think...Very Orwellian of them...Zelenko has been put in Twitter jail before—takes a lot of flak which means he’s over the target. I think he may have an alternate Twitter account

People are now re-tweeting his protocol—may actually get more attention.

I have copied most of his info previously—I follow it, but I am going to add Ivermectin to the prophylaxes.

The young and strong were taken out because they have good immunity and therefore are more likely to die from a cytokine storm.

Whoever predicted “COVID-21” is a genius. However, it apparently got loose a year early.

As the Chinese Frankenvirus, as I understand it, is remarkably stable, it wouldn’t surprise me if this mutation would still count as a drift, rather than a shift, which is more serious.

Big deal.

Coronavirus PING!

I’m simply going to take the vax, and then Early-COVID-21 can go F itself while I move freely about the country — or to Flori-Duh, depending on the political situation.

It may be more stable in terms of not mutating further, but it has 23 mutations, 8 of which affect the spike protein, and those 8 mutations are what make it more transmissible. The spike protein is what makes it easier for the virus to enter human cells.

In discussing what we should do about this, please remember that if we can stop the behaviors that are spreading the present virus, not only will it help to contain the new one, but it will help to keep the virus that is already here, and all other viruses, from mutating further.

If it’s true that this is a weapon (I believe it is), it may have been designed to be released in steps, according to what the murderers see as our probable social behavior.

So what is required is that we not become less vigilant, because of social distancing fatigue, but rather more vigilant, to defeat the purpose of this new mutation.

I don’t think it is more contagious, the scientist predicted more cases in the winter time long time ago. It is seasonal with more cases in the winter time. It has been getting colder in England, people are staying indoors more.

The new daily cases will level out as people see their friends get sick then start to take precautions (survival of the fittest). No need to lock lock down life, we have treatments and the vacine.

South Africa is claiming another mutation that is deadlier. I do not think it is more deadlier, the virus just finally got a foot hold there. South Africa has a very high AIDs infection rate. This is a perfect storm for Covid-19, naturally there is going to be more deaths due the heath of the population.

It’s not gonna happen. I’m being careful on my own, but given that many people would rather die than put up with these lockdowns and mandates, another angle needs to be done.

That angle is that this virus, for whatever reason, sometimes create long-term morbidities in its more vulnerable victims, such as kidney failure, compromised breathing (think something like COPD). There’s also a version of the disease informally called Long-Haul COVID, in which the victim, for God knows what reason, has difficulty fighting it off, so it basically lasts for months.

People may be willing to die from this thing to preserve their freedom, and I believe that these lockdowns and mandates should end immediately. But would people want to live with the long-term morbidities? I doubt that. A free state, combined with constant messaging about the morbidities, would make most people more careful on their own, eliminating the perceived need for these Great Reset Prep restrictions.

Both the Trump and the Biden campaign got this stuff wrong. We don’t have to.

Read the science. This is not political, or it shouldn’t be.

It may be borrowing our liberties for a while, but in no way is it taking them away, as long as we remain vigilant to defend our rights.

They have succeeded in dividing us into little wimps hiding under the bed on the one hand, and flag-waving “patriots” on the other.

I’m not doubting their patriotism, but this is a disease first and foremost, before any political views get atached to it. The most patriotic thing you can do right now for your fellow countrymen is to do the opposite of what the socio-psycho-bio engineers of our enemy want you to do. They want to use the covid issue to divide the country even more than it is already divided along politcal lines.

What is a drift vs shift ?

There have been at least 3 or 4 previous sensational "new strain" reports that claimed "more contagious", "deadlier" or "OMG it's Mutating!". All have turned out to be nothing but normal variations with no significant effect on R0, symptoms or mortality. Obviously, I don't know 100% if this variation or the next will be significant. But as of now, we have no reason to expect this variant to be any worse than the other variants. Merry Christmas all!

A drift is a mild mutation. A shift, like with the various strains of flu that pop up from time to time, is more significant, basically meaning that you’ll get sick from it all over again.

I am sorry for what is happening to you. However, there are many people willing to die from this thing rather than to continue to suffer the bleak, depressing, economically ruinous lockdowns.

The other big problem besides the deaths is acquired morbidities, such as kidney failure, lung problems and strokes. While some people may be willing to die from this thing, I doubt that those people would be willing to put up with dialysis and supplemental oxygen machines, two things my own mother experienced before she died (from a heart attack, not COVID).

You are obviously closer to the fight against this monster than most people, meaning you have a better idea of the Frankenvirus’s long term effects in some of its victims. If you can spread the details about these things, more people will be careful on their own.
