Back in 1978, the movie “Jaws 2” (the sequel to 1975’s blockbuster “Jaws”) was introduced and promoted with the line, “Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.”
That line has had various incarnations as a catchphrase (what we now call a “meme”) over the years, and now seems apropos of the COVID War’s current phase: Just when you thought it was safe to take off your mask; just when you thought it was safe to come out of quarantine; just when you thought we had COVID on the run—along comes yet another “variant” to strike fear into the populace!
The new variant is “Omicron,” the first new variant since “Delta” and said to be even more contagious than Delta (which was more contagious than the original strain).
Omicron was first seen and identified in South Africa in late November, and the first U.S. case was discovered on 29 November, in a traveler who returned from South Africa to San Francisco on 22 November. The person has self-quarantined since testing positive, suffered mild symptoms which are improving, and all known contacts have thus far tested negative.
Because we the stupid people of Slavelandia are not privy to facts and figures, the dictator of California, Governor Gavin Newsom refused to give the age or sex of the person and would only say he/she was between 18 and 49 years old, and as having received two doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine… which of course was sold to the public as a high efficacy vax. That information did not deter Dr. Anthony Fauci from calling for more vaccinations for everyone, including children.
“We have 60 million people in this country who are not vaccinated, who are eligible to be vaccinated,” Fauci blurted, “Let’s get the people vaccinated, boosted. Let’s get the children vaccinated.”
To fight the Omicron virus that has killed no one in the U.S., The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has imposed a Level Four travel advisory for eight African countries, and has also recommended that everyone over 18 be fully vaccinated and those over 50 get booster shots.
TREND UPDATE: Omicron cases have now been seen (as of this writing) in at least 45 countries. As of two days ago, the World Health Organization reported that the grand total of zero people died of the new virus strain.
Yet, the media keeps spreading Omicron fear and hysteria and politicians keep seizing more power despite the non-deadly facts. It is as though no one, at any time has caught a cold, flu, sore throats or ever got sick in their lives, but now they will for the first time, since COVID arrived on the scene.
Reuters reported, as of 6 December, that the new variant has been detected in at least 16 U.S. states, with “many cases” among fully vaccinated persons who presented with mild symptoms. And, amid all the coverage of the Omicron variant, there have been no reports (as of this writing) of it causing anyone to die or even be hospitalized.
Even the esteemed Dr. Fauci (quoted on 6 December by CNBC) said, “Although it’s too early to make any definitive statements about it, thus far it does not look like there’s a great degree of severity to it.” The same CNBC report noted that the South African doctor who first spotted the virus said she had seen “extremely mild” symptoms among her own patients.
TRENDPOST: Epidemiologists who are not beholden to the Drug Lords and have not sworn allegiance to the New World Disorder COVID narrative are not surprised at the emergence of a new variant; viruses naturally evolve and produce new variants, and those variants tend to produce milder symptoms.
So far, the Omicron variant, despite having multiple mutations that do make it, theoretically, more transmissible, does not appear to carry more risk of severe symptoms or death, nor does it appear to warrant the hysteria being promoted over it. But stay tuned… there will be more media and political fear on the near horizon.
