I'm far from "tin foil hat" but it's so obvious all of this is to push more vaccines, keep the fear going, and power/control.

It's time for life to go back to normal in countries that have available vaccines for the original variant.

Are we going to just keep locking down and restricting travel every time there's a new flu or covid variant?
Totally agree. This virus had been hijacked by politicians to do whatever they want while using the virus as an excuse to do so. Then when things turn to **** they use it as an excuse to avoid any accountability.

This is here for good, we live with it and move on. Is it serious, yes. Is it the bubonic plague, not even close.

Yeah certainly interesting timing given that parents have been given the green light to jab their children. My wife's coworker's friend works at a school and just actually told her that a bunch of kids were sent home early from bad reactions to the vax yesterday. And of course you hear nothing of the sort in the media.

Shapiro had an interesting take....they landed on Omnicron because the next letters were mu or nu, which sounds too much like "new" variant and people would confuse it with the old delta. They also didn't use Xi because they wanted to avoid added criticism of Xi Jinping, lmfao

So in other words yea its bullchit

LOL. Do you have a link to that? I'm guessing it's the INSANE one? That sounds like a reach but I've been surprised before by new info

That's not Shapiro, it was said by the WHO spokesperson himself.


WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic said Nu is too similar to the world “new”, while Xi has not been used because it is a common last name.

He added that the WHO aims to avoid “causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups” when naming viruses.

There is an entire book about the type of opportunism that you describe OP. I checked it out from the library and read it shortly after it was release:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...Shock_Doctrine

This one is worth knowing about too:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...onomic_Hit_Man

He has a newer one I haven't read yet:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...onomic-hit-man

It could still be:

- the confluence of various interests [institutions, governments, corporations] grappling with the challenges and opportunities created by an accidental lab release that just happens to be creating needless misery and suffering

- a manufactured event being orchestrated by a group of powerful wealthy people who believe that they are shaping human behavior in ways that may create some hardships, but that what they are doing is necessary to save humanity from overshoot and a runaway climate catastrophe

- a manufactured event being orchestrated by a group of elite oligarchs who want to assume total power and control over the human masses and cement themselves as rulers over the plebeian cattle NPCs

Whatever the truth may be I still land on "has the entire world gone mad?" and "this is really f*cked".

Unaware of referenced leak. Intentional or not if you want to break people down then swinging back and forth between fear/restriction and hope/normalcy is a great way to do it.

Sounds nice. I've got a teenager who is afraid to go inside places without a mask and wants to travel to Europe next summer. I very much want the mandate/vaccine passport/travel restrictions to go away.

That's going full-retard. It looks like it's spreading 10x faster in South Africa than the last wave. So way more kids are getting infected for the first time after previous forms missing them before, while the rest of the population has mostly been infected already. South Africa's a terrible model to base things off of too, considering it is the HIV center of the world, including babies born with HIV. Not a representative example of the world.

Hospitalization numbers have become pretty useless in the short-term. Multiple studies, including specifically focused on kids have shown about half the people "hospitalized with Covid" are there for unrelated reasons and happen to have the virus. Those studies were based on the original virus and UK (alpha) variant, and it looks like this Omicron variant is 4-8x more transmissible than those. So how many kids are going to the hospital because of this spreading like wildfire variant rather than kids in South Africa are testing positive when they are headed to the hospital for unrelated reasons is an unknown. We'll know what the deal is in weeks ahead.

South Africa is 25% vaccinated which MAY OR MAY NOT have something to do with circumstances there.

so then why hasn't covid really spread in Africa compared to most other places despite being mostly unvaccinated?

with that said

just more media propaganda. they really don't know much about the omnicron variant. apparently it may spread faster and become the dominant strain. but they won't know that for sure in other countries. they don't know if it is any more deadly or not. at least early indications say that it's milder. South Africa discovers a variant and their reward is getting travel bans, phucking lol. The variant has already been discovered in multiple countries. By the time they announce and institute travel bans, it's already too late. now you have a bunch of people rushing to get the next flight back to their home country.

omicron is just an excuse to cover up that the vaccine is ineffective. they got tired of reporting breakthrough cases and vaccinated people that were hospitalized.newvariant is doom and gloom to get more people to get vaccinated

Of course the variant is real. There are dozens of variants and will continue to be. We just have to learn to live with it.

Like mentioned , they will be trying to create panic forever and claim there’s a new variant.
I would have sworn that variants eventually got weaker and didn’t effect people as severely, but every time I watch the news it’s more contagious and deadly lol .
Funny how the Spanish flu was a variant of Covid, yet there was literally no sign of it two years later .
Our governments seem as though their claiming this is practically the beginning.
I say we go on living our lives as normal , but for those of who are still so afraid of the China flu, lock yourself up in your house if it makes you feel better .

I think we're ignoring that vaccines are essentially creating variants, but each variant is getting weaker -- to suggest such a thing would make people not get theirs.

Also, while on that, the topic of natural immunity should be recognized

if you had COVID then you have technically the "master code" of strand that your body has learned to overcome and protect against

surely these variants share some sort of information similar to the OG that would be able to defend itself against.

Vaccines aren’t creating variants. Saying things like this is why reasonable claims about covid overreaction get dismissed.

Delta came from India in December before the vaccines were even being distributed

U say u are not a tin foil hat, yet u exhibit exactly the same behavior as tin foil hat people.

The doctor who saw the first variant is not pushing for more control or more vaccines, he doenst have anything to gain by it.

If u knew how science worked, u would not be saying these retarded things.

The person on twitter litteraly begged the rest of the world not to incite fly bans or hurt them financially for spreading this info about this variant. Some politicians in his own country are villifying him, because he singlehandedly phukked his country with a few tweets. Doesnt sound like this is all about pushing for more vaccines or pushing for more control.

What should he have done when he saw this variant, keep it to himself and hope it went away ?

The reaon why omicron is a variant of concern is because its spreading very fast in a location that scientists trhought delta already wrecked the whole place, so omicron should not have a foot to stand, yet it does. So if we are all vaccinated to the delta variant, we might not be protected against the omicron variant. So its good that we get info about it, otherwise we would not be prepared, and hospitals would be overrun.

This whole narrative of covid being a joke would change very fast once u see old and fatcels dying outside hospitals because there arent any beds available.



To my knowledge, there is no lockdown in usa. and travel ban was unneccsary. But those decisions were not made by 'corporations'. (many big flight corporations are hurting btw)

I’m saying Delta came from a country that didn’t even have the vaccine yet so it couldn’t have been caused by the vaccine.

Not sure what point you’re making

The person on twitter litteraly begged the rest of the world not to incite fly bans or hurt them financially for spreading this info about this variant. Some politicians in his own country are villifying him, because he singlehandedly phukked his country with a few tweets. Doesnt sound like this is all about pushing for more vaccines or pushing for more control.

What should he have done when he saw this variant, keep it to himself and hope it went away ?

The reaon why omicron is a variant of concern is because its spreading very fast in a location that scientists trhought delta already wrecked the whole place, so omicron should not have a foot to stand, yet it does. So if we are all vaccinated to the delta variant, we might not be protected against the omicron variant. So its good that we get info about it, otherwise we would not be prepared, and hospitals would be overrun.

This whole narrative of covid being a joke would change very fast once u see old and fatcels dying outside hospitals because there arent any beds available.



To my knowledge, there is no lockdown in usa. and travel ban was unneccsary. But those decisions were not made by 'corporations'. (many big flight corporations are hurting btw)

I agree that the emerging of variants should not sound like news, after all, as you rightly said, viruses like this mutate all the time.
In this sense I believe there are two main reasons for all the media speculation:
1 - Generating views (clicks)
2 - Trying to influence the unvaccinated to get vaccinated through pressure.
In any case, we cannot let this make us think that everything related to the virus is a lie or an exaggeration. We still need to take care of ourselves and do our part.
