Is OMICRON the End of the World?
Townhall.com ^ | November 29, 2021 | Scott Morefield

Oh, noes! Hide your children! Run for the hills! Wear three masks to bed and in the shower! That’s right. Just in time for the holidays and the prospect of entirely too many people having entirely too much fun, there’s a new scariant, er, variant coming to KILL us all.

Or, possibly, give some of us the sniffles … We’re not sure at this point, but the one thing we CAN be certain of is that all the dumb measures forced upon us by all the usual suspects - travel bans, lockdowns, forced masking, vaccination mandates, etc. - that have so far been utter failures against stopping all previous iterations of this thing, will also be completely inept in stopping the spread of the newest ‘kid’ on the block.

But, of course, that inconvenient fact won’t stop the powers-that-be from using the rise of OMICRON (sounds like a great name for a Transformer, doesn’t it?) as a pretext to double down on that Covid-tyranny gravy train they’ve enjoyed riding for so long at our expense. The urge to control, the lust for power, the need to have their egos stoked will, as usual, prove too much for the simpletons in charge of public policy at the federal level and in most blue states. So get ready for more of the same insanity followed by more of the same dismal results. (But hey, on the bright side, at least my friend Ian Miller won’t lack for chart material!)

What do we actually know about variant B.1.1.529? Not a whole lot, except that it was identified fairly recently in South Africa and it’s likely soon coming to a theater near all of us, if it’s not already here. Apparently, this one has significant enough genetic differences from other variants that experts are even afraid it could avoid the (months-long) ‘immunity’ generated from the current ‘vaccines.’

But “get vaccinated!!” they all continue to staunchly insist, with zero sense of self-reflection whatsoever even as they admit the above. But fortunately, people are starting to get wise to their scam. The fact that these therapeutics, er, ‘vaccines’ couldn’t stop or even slightly curb the spread of Delta should make anyone with the slightest critical thinking skills think twice before rolling up their sleeves this time around.

The good news, and the news our overlords will never focus on, is that while OMICRON could be more contagious, it also doesn’t initially appear to be nearly as deadly as previous iterations.

"It presents mild disease with symptoms being sore muscles and tiredness for a day or two not feeling well,” said Angelique Coetzee, chairwoman of the South African Medical Association. “So far, we have detected that those infected do not suffer loss of taste or smell. They might have a slight cough. There are no prominent symptoms. Of those infected some are currently being treated at home."

To be fair, the fear-mongering *could* be right this time. Delta, though manageable without mandates in most states, was worse in the U.S. than it was in the U.K. or India. But even if this mutation ends up being worse, the ridiculous measures we keep employing to “stop the spread” aren’t about to do any better than they did the last go-round. So why not live your life and stop worrying about it?

This virus, like highly contagious respiratory viruses always do, is gonna virus. And maybe that’s a good thing this time around. A lightning-quick-spreading, milder form of Covid could be the best thing to happen to humanity since this pandemic began. Endemicity, and taking its place among the common colds, is our best hope at this point, both for immune systems and to end the tyranny of the Covid-fascists. If it’s indeed mild, I hope it spreads so fast that governments can’t possibly react. In this way, nature’s vaccine could take its course despite the ill-intentions of overlords who think they are somehow the ones in control.

Meanwhile, Dr. Anthony Fauci says “it’s really too early to say” whether we’ll see new lockdowns or mandates. Whatever, dude. As usual, I say we all ignore them if they come along. Pretend these clowns don’t exist and, unless it makes sense to you in your particular situation, do the exact opposite of anything they recommend.

If this keeps up, by the time they reach Omega, we will be treating Covid with medicines available from the HBC departments of grocery stores.

Those studying hybrid immunity stress that — whatever the potential benefits — the risks of a SARS-CoV-2 infection mean that it should be avoided. “We are not inviting anybody to get infected and then vaccinated to have a good response,” says Finzi. “Because some of them will not make it through.”

***********************************

But they don’t say a word about those dying and having terrible complications from getting the vaccine.

... and another thing I checked about this Nature magazine before reading the article just to verify whether or not they’re credible. Sure enough, they think the world is ending because of climate change also. In other words they’re feeding everyone a load of crap according to what their masters say.

Why would you name a new version of covid after a low budget Italian movie from 1963 where an alien takes over the body of an Earthman in order to learn about the planet so his race can take it over.

I call BS....

“A variant that spreads faster and defies vaccines will end the pandemic sooner.”

It’s even better than that: there is no pandemic and there never was.
We don’t need herd immunity - we don’t need anything at all to beat these coronaviruses.

Our immune systems already recognize coronaviruses.

The proof is the fact that we kick it in 3 or 4 days - not 3 or 4 weeks.

People who already had it have better immunity than “vaccinated”, but the dirty secret is that those who haven’t had it are immune too.

We should have just let it spread like a common cold.

Some anthropologists believe that humans (and other animals) adopted social greeting behaviors - such as hand-shaking, petting, kissing, embracing - through natural selection.

In order to ensure complete exposure to all the billions of microorganisms we share the planet with, we go around touching each other.

Lockdowns, social distancing, masks - are the worst thing we can do - eventually it will weaken our immune systems.

But fortunately that won’t happen for a long time.

The only people that should be avoiding colds are the very old, the very weak, the very sick, the immune compromised - and we already knew that long before Fauci and his lot began pimping for Big Pharma.

Assuredly NOT. The end of the world will be ushered in when the Omega variant is discovered.

That’s what I did. Zicam and Vitamin C. Many people get badly sick because they delay treatment

My personal testimony is that zicam can’t be over rated.

Since Covid, I have added a zinc tablet and Vitamin C to my daily regimen.

Mass Formation Psychosis: Billions Of People Are Affected By This & They Don’t Realize It |
> by Dr. Robert Malone, 2021
Excerpt from a speech a few weeks ago. 13 minutes.

Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA vaccine, breaks down the “mass formation” phenomenon that makes it difficult to reason with those who have fallen victim to globalist propaganda. Hear what he says is the last hope we have before a total takeover.

It sounds like the second jab. Like the same symptoms, side affects, you get after the second jab?

No, diseases don’t care. Hysterical idiots, on the other hand, really do hate to be mocked.

Interesting article I had not seen. Thanks

Given the extremely low risk to a naturally immune person of a reinfection leading to a bad outcome, to me the real question becomes the reduction in absolute risk conferred by hybrid immunity. Just for an example of the math, pulling numbers out of the air, a .0001 risk is ten times less than a .001 risk, which sounds like a big difference, except that many of us would not find the bigger number, 001, anything worth worrying about.

What little I have read seems to indicate tat Omicron is a less dangerous variant. It has always been present but not hyped.

Omicron is actually salvation. By catching and transmitting the Omicron variant, natural immunity is acquired. The spread of Omicron will thus save lives and end the pandemic

My observation is that they tend to get off on it. But maybe you know your hysterical idiots better than I do.

No, no, I’m sure you know everything there is to know about hysterical idiocy.

Conveniently released for the midterms, which they would lose if they couldn’t have mail- in ballots. It is their on-going plan to enable them to steal elections.

This virus, like highly contagious respiratory viruses always do, is gonna virus.

From what I've read, COVID is not a respiratory virus. It is spread by respiratory droplets in the air, but the disease itself is of the blood and cardio vascular system. COVID pneumonia is a symptom of the bodies immune response.

Kroger has an immunity supplement that is pretty good. I’m getting some Zinc Sulfate from Amazon.

Feeling tired. Sore muscles. A bit of a cough. AKA a cold.
