The Pandemic of the Vaccinated Is Here
The Atlantic ^ | 12/9/21

A coming winter surge and the spread of Omicron have made it clear that COVID is everyone’s problem.

By Rachel Gutman

Even before the arrival of Omicron, the winter months were going to be tough for parts of the United States. While COVID transmission rates in the South caught fire over the summer, the Northeast and Great Plains states were largely spared thanks to cyclical factors and high vaccination rates. But weather and the patterns of human life were bound to shift the disease burden northward for the holidays—and that was just with Delta. Enter a new variant that appears better able to evade immunity, and that seasonal wave could end up a tsunami.

Back in July, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky announced that COVID had become “a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” an unfortunate turn of phrase that was soon picked up by the president. Now the flaws in its logic are about to be exposed on what could be a terrifying scale. Unvaccinated Americans will certainly pay the steepest price in the months to come, but the risks appear to have grown for everyone. The pan

As if delta didn't already make it "clear that COVID is everyone's problem".

"But preliminary data from South Africa and Europe now suggest that two vaccine doses alone might still allow for frequent breakthrough infections and rapid spread of the disease—even if hospitalization and death remain unlikely. Getting three shots, or two shots plus a previous bout of COVID, seems to offer more protection."

So, why is this a crisis if hospitalization and death remain "unlikely"? Why do we need more vaccines if hospitalization and death remain "unlikely"?Because smelly old Klaus Schwab's "re-set" needs more time?

Does this count as a sea change?

Could be disastrous.
Or a bad flu season.
Or a bunch of people with no symptoms.

Personally, I’ll be praying.

Gimme a break already.The &**&ing Omicron had one case a weeks ago from a double jabbed patient in California.

The lies are so pathetic it all just pisses me off now.

The Atlantic?? Is the damn about to burst - seems like wishful thinking. Sigh...people are dying and others creating variants - simple selective micro-evolutionary biology. One class in undergrad biology could equip someone to see this coming.

“The Atlantic?? Is the damn about to burst - seems like wishful thinking.”

It’s a push for boosters. Omicron is the Booster Variant.

Give me an Omicron stick and I will lick it. Omicron is less severe than the side effects of the vaccine and you actually have immunity when it is done.

Vanity Predictions

On 12/5 I made a prediction in a thread on FR that the Omicron variant wasn’t getting the job done, wasn’t eliciting the fear response the scam-demic proponents wanted and needed. I said the next time around we’ll probably see two at once.

Well, today 12/9 we see the first hints of that. The so-called mutation on the mutation, the “S dropout” variant which “may behave differently!” I’m claiming this as success, not exactly the two variants at once I predicted, but I’ll take a variant of the variant as two.

Emboldened by my success, I’m going to make not another prediction, but two. Maybe even two and a half.

The half prediction is that covid and the variants have pretty much run their course as useful tools to control and cow the populace. The entities that want and need the power and control the scam-demic, variants, and vaxxes have afforded them will move on to the next phase. I say this because people are getting variant-fatigued. It is becoming harder and harder to take this seriously. The vaccine has about run it’s course too. They’ve scared just about everyone they can scare into taking an experimental vaccine. They’ve coerced, through mandates, just about everyone they can force. Omicron is so mild no-one worries about it. The mandates are being challenged or rescinded in courts, even in Congress.

What’s next? The last hurrah for the virus before they declare “victory” over it and move on to the post-pandemic scam. We got just a hint of it today with the notion that the “S dropout” variant is hard to test for, it is almost indistinguishable from the normal Omicron variant. The next two phases of the scam will be what I call the “flea circus” variant, then the “phantom menance” phase.

The flea circus variant will be a more subtle and insidious Omicron. The claim will be that this new (final) variant is so mild in it’s symptoms you might not even realize you have it. It will elude existing tests, similar to how the “S dropout” variant is hard to tell apart normal Omicron – you see they’ve planted the seeds of the idea the tests are not infallible. Since they probably cannot scare many (any) more people into getting vaxxed, they’ll probably target the vaxxed audience. This final (Omega?) variant will be able to easily break through the vaccines. Maybe they’ll roll this out soon enough to be used to push the boosters they’re starting to push now. Maybe they’ll wait a couple of weeks and then use it to justify a special Omega-booster. Maybe they’ll wait until the winter cold and flu season hammers everyone. The Omega variant may be billed as a rider you get along with cold/flu and therefore its symptoms are masked by them. But trust us, you got it! ;-/

Of course an infection so mild you don’t know you have it and can’t test for it is not going to generate much fear. So the Omega variant will be billed as causing long-term damage. Like global warming – you can’t see the danger now, but trust us, it’s coming. Maybe they’ll pick off a side effect of the vax. Since they’ll be targeting the vaxxed with this final variant, it would make sense to pick off something like Myocarditis and/or Pericarditis – adverse side effects of the vax that are starting to get more attention. So roll out a new unseen, un-felt, un-testable, breakthrough case variant and blame it for the growing wave of bad effects.

This takes the pressure off the failed and dangerous vaxxes. It also sets the stage for the “Phantom Menace” era. Now they’ll start rolling out “fixes” to everything that has come before. First they’ll declare victory over covid – saying it has mutated into a mild post-Omicron endemic form. Yay team, we won! … Not so fast. It will have left behind – particularly that insidious Omega variant you never knew you had – all kinds of long term ailments. This will be their get-out-of-jail-free card for all the bad side effects of their new mRNA technology and experimental treatments. “Why no, the XYZ condition, previously considered rare but now increasingly widespread...isn’t due to our vaxxes...it was that pesky Omega variant that got you at the end of the pandemic!” But wait! Salvation! “We have this new test (government, pay us $9.95 each for hundreds of millions of tests) that’ll tell you if you’ve been damaged by Omega.” Oh, and if you have been “We have this new treatment under EUA to fix that...government pay us $49.95 per dose...”

As new long term side effects of their experimental treatments present, they’ll blame it on the phantom menace of lingering covid effects. They’ll also have a shot to fix that. (Like Bones in the 2009 Star Trek reboot) – “Numb tongue? I can fix that!”

So take heart one and all, the scam-demic is almost over. We’re about to be thrust into the wonderful world of blackmail. “You were foolish enough to participate in our experimental trial, now we own you. You’ll need a never-ending (until you’re dead) stream of injections to counteract the damage done by our injections.”

Ok, I admit, I'm just feeling particularly cynical this evening.

You are correct. Still blinded by groupthink, boosters to them will save the day. In their minds it should be easy to vaccine billions of people in a few months. Meanwhile variants will continue to be created around the world by folks without proper informed consent having takes an experimental drug, due to simple evolutionary pressure to mutate around the vaccines.

Utter nonsense.

Author writes as if there is scientific bases for what she claims but it is all hand-waving.

They pretend Omicron or Delta are the reason vaccinated people continue to get and transmit Covid when there is zero evidence for that.

The level of unreality is staggering and frightening if thought about.

It’s not my problem. I’ve changed nothing in the last two years - still go out shopping, dining and meeting family & friends. Meanwhile 80% of the morons in my State have been standing in line to get the next bestest shot. They’re the ones getting sick and dying, but they’ve fallen for fake news hook, line & sinker. Sucks to be stupid - worse is gullible and stupid.

Waiting for the democrat/media/big pharma/Faux-xi cheerleaders on here to say the death serum is perfectly safe with 98% efficacy.
