The more information that comes in on Covid, the more we realize how corrupt and/or idiotic our world public health officials are. We really need to work real hard to get these people out of positions of power and back into their low level advisory boxes again.

I don’t want them in low level advisory boxes either. Let’s totally rid ourselves of both the corrupt and the incompetent.

The powers that be don't want the pandemic perception to ever end. It helps foster their totalitarian agenda. Without it, it would have taken decades to get where they are now.

I thought something similar when Omicron was first announced. People have been coughing and complaining about terrible colds for about 2/3 months. PCR tests always negative. Has this been going around for a few months but just hasn’t been picked up.

this has - to me - been obvious from the start. sigh.

we've never done this before, tracked a coronavirus in this way, so completely, with such longterm testing. we've just never LOOKED at a virus like we are now. like monomaniacal OCD spastics. I guess it's interesting. maybe we'll even learn something from it, but I doubt it.

The mask is slipping off of the COVID scare. People are not complying and fighting back in court and winning. More fear must be generated and more hatred for the unvaxed. They should have named it the Ohmyconned variant.

These people all suffer from a fundamental misunderstanding of living nature and how it works.

Not a surprise, since they're all from a caste of cubicle slaves that never see a green item that didn't come from Whole Foods.

In the same way I wouldn't be surprised if there's dozens or hundreds of "variants" that they have no idea about. The way quick-spreading viruses replicate and mutate, it would be surprising otherwise.

That's assuming this is all good old fashioned search-of-truth science. Instead what we have is political theater by idiots, for idiots. And these idiots honestly believe that the abstract numbers they play with in spreadsheets *really are* reality.

Nothing exists but what we can plug into a model (that will soon prove worse than a guess).

It's a miracle we can keep the lights on and water running.

Omicron is just a mild cold (which should be much more widespread than the numbers as for one person who decided to take the test, there are many more who won't bother), there is no reason to be scared of it. Its spreading fast and becoming dominant is good news. Everybody would be able to develop natural immunity after catching mild cold, the wide population can achieve natural herd immunity fast and be done. But the milder the disease, the more hysterical screaming, the more push to stop the spread. They're so desperate to keep the "pandemic" going. Wait for a completely asymptomatic variant. So scary!!!!!

It seemed a curious method to sell boosters, given this variant has many mutations that allegedly occurred at "warp speed"

The UK and probably other places statistically do full sequencing of samples, but they didn't find it until recently. That, plus the fact that it seems to spread very fast, mean that it probably only just arrived?

it should be relatively easy to prove or disprove it is new

Correct, it is very straightforward if you have ever done basic systems diagramming (which most geneticists have no experience with). See Exhibit 7.10 in my article. All the data is there, nucleotide by nucleotide, entropy by entropy. Omicron is not related to Wuhan A.1, Alpha nor Delta. By entropy per site mutated, it is much older (people lie, but genes do not fortunately) ;-)

Just as a note, the spanning tree diagram is now Exhibit 7.11. I had to insert a new Exhibit 7.3 which outlined a 15 Dec 2021 study - that shows that Omicron's precursor (yes they said that), was serial passed (multiple lab generations) inside a mouse population, not bat or wild animal, by the specific genetic signatures.

Oi, TES!

Many thanks for your service to mankind. You have been one of my educators since I first discovered you back in early 2020. I read you everyday as a bird refusenik.

If you look at the Australian data from the ABS, you will see a massive one-off jump in unexplained deaths - FLI - in 2019. In 2020 was a normal year.

Due to the sunny climes in most parts, I suspect we have community immunity already. Obviously no one can explain why Melbourne continues to have more cases than Sydney; whereas Brisbane and other places hardly had anymore.

Hey Barry, Oi

Here's wishes for the best of all outcomes for our brothers and sisters Down Under. 2018/19 was high ILI all over the Pac and IndoChina Rim. I am hoping for something close to immunity there as well.

Thanks for the readership!

Correct, they should be able to trace the mutations and the "ancestors". But crickets.

Crickets had nothing with all this.

Countries like the US have been sequencing samples of the virus from infections in order to keep track of variants. I doubt the virus has been circulating heavily until recently unless I am missing something.

Expand full comment

You're missing that they only test a small portion of infections and sequence only a tiny portion of those samples. In the US it started as some man traveled from South Africa AND caught mild cold AND decided to take a PCR test AND they decided to sequence it. Remove any link in this chain and it's not detected. Does everybody with mild cold rush to get tested for covid? Do all those samples get sequenced? The trigger here is "South Africa", this man heard of the new variant and decided to get tested, health officials heard of this new variant and decided to sequence samples of travelers from South Africa. Here we go, we have a discovery! It's the tail wagging the dog.

that MAY not answer newness but unless we cant find it anywhere

This! The news makes it sound like the PCR test magically detects Omicron. So, selected samples go to a lab that got an email with a sequence of letters, and if they see some of those, then OMg! It's Omicron!? Is that what is going on?

Seems it's just a distraction from the fact that the vaxxed are getting sick.

‘If Omicron is indeed new, there is the possibility that the modern scientific consensus regarding human to human transfer of viruses is so off base that it requires re-examining this notion entirely, but we’ll save that for another day.‘ Nailed it!!! Because viruses are NOT contagious or you would see us sick all of the time, no break, or even extinct, which we are not! As part of cyclical detoxification, when needed, our cells create our own viruses embedded with our own RNA/DNA to dissolve the toxin(s). This one reality could blow wide open and end the big pharma/medical mad lies that we have been indoctrinated since the terming of Germ Theory! Virusesarenotcontagious.com

The recent outbreak at Cornell contradicts half your thesis, but supports the other half. All students must be vaccinated and they are tested once a week. Two months ago 0.2% were testing positive. Now it is about 8% (a 40 fold increase). Tests show that basically it is all Omicron. So it does appear to be a new variant. However, it does seem to prove that the vaccine is not effective in a least 8% of the population. Time will tell if the ineffectiveness is greater than that. We will have to see. Testing will pause now for the Xmas recess. https://covid.cornell.edu/testing/dashboard/

Public health across the globe are made up of bureaucrats who have been given unvetted authority which despite failure after failure just continues. Power corrupts absolutely. Until people just say no it will never end. Last year at the beginning of all this pandemic BS, we were living in the Netherlands and were thrilled with how reasonable the initial response was. Masks on the trian and limited amount of people in a store at a time. Schools opened in May followed by restaurants. There was a normal spike and decline but it was reasonable. Then it was like the public health folks had lockdown envy of the other countries and lost their minds and of course this lead to lockdowns, closures, and even curfew but the curves always look the same as the first.....crazy that we allow these measures to be implemented....

I am glad to see you cite https://twitter.com/EthicalSkeptic. He has presented novel ideas about COVID throughout the pandemic, along with data to make his case.

"The world just started testing for the Omicron variant of the coronavirus"

I work for a medical supply distributor who is making millions off this plandemic. In my 20+ years of doing this we don’t have variant specific tests. Not rapid cassette or PCR. We never had a test for Delta either.
