The WHO has warned the new Omicron Covid super-mutant poses a 'very high' risk to the global pandemic recovery with 'severe consequences' possible if it causes a new wave of infections. 'Omicron has an unprecedented number of mutations, some of which are concerning for their potential impact on the trajectory of the pandemic,' the WHO said, amid fears the new variant is much more infectious than previous strains including Delta. 'The overall global risk related to the new variant ...is assessed as very high.'(Snip)'Omicron demonstrates just why the world needs a new accord on pandemics: our current system disincentivizes countries from alerting others to threats that will inevitably

Comments:

Yesterday the WHO urged nations not to close their borders, and today they're hyping the global risk of this new "variant." People are OK with this.

Suppose they manufactured a new pandemic and nobody cared? It’s coming. It’s here. Was a a Christmas party. Laughter and derision at the Omicron Variant (which sounds like a Ludlum novel). They’d all read from South Africa how it was a nothing burger and KNOW this is more power grabbing by the deep state. Resistance is growing in a big way. If the Incontinent Potato comes out with some decree shutting down Christmas because this obvious fakery, the amount of people just ignoring it will be staggering to them.

I wouldn't believe WHO if they told me water was wet. The head of WHO is an Ethopian terrorist, and NOT a medical doctor. He was selected because he is a Marxist who supports China and has ZERO ethics.

And then there is this from Western Journal:https://www.westernjournal.com/report-south-african-doctor-first-noticed-omicron-variant-reels-doomsayers-reveals-symptoms-unusual-mild/ Report: South African Doctor Who First Noticed Omicron Variant Reels in Doomsayers, Reveals Symptoms Are 'Unusual but Mild' By Jack Davis November 28, 2021 at 11:07am As panic circles the globe over a new coronavirus variant first reported in South Africa, the doctor who first noticed the variant is asking for a dose of calm. Dr. Angelique Coetzee said that the unusual infections she was seeing in her private practice in Pretoria earlier this month presented “unusual but mild” symptoms, according to the Telegraph. Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association, said it was “premature” to say the virus was going to mushroom into a global health crisis, according to the Guardian. On Friday, the World Health Association dubbed the Omicron variant a variant of concern. President Joe Biden then slapped travel restrictions on multiple African countries. “It’s all speculation at this stage. It may be it’s highly transmissible, but so far the cases we are seeing are extremely mild,” she said. “Maybe two weeks from now I will have a different opinion, but this is what we are seeing. So are we seriously worried? No. We are concerned and we watch what’s happening. But for now we’re saying, ‘OK: there’s a whole hype out there. [We’re] not sure why.’” Coetzee said she would like more people to get vaccinated. “Unfortunately, it’s not only the responsibility of the government; it’s the responsibility of the public as well … You can only ask people so many times to go and get vaccinated, and if you don’t listen, then there’s consequences, and then you have to take the consequences,” she said. She said that the patients she treated came from very different backgrounds and had intense fatigue. None had a loss of test or smell. A 6-year-old child she treated had a high pulse rate. “Their symptoms were so different and so mild from those I had treated before,” she said, according to the Telegraph. Coetzee said that after she treated a family of four who tested positive for the virus and had complete exhaustion, she alerted South Africa’s vaccine advisory committee. About two dozen people have exhibited symptoms of the new variant, she said, adding that they were mostly healthy men who came to her “feeling so tired.” About half of those she treated were not vaccinated. “We had one very interesting case, a kid, about 6 years old, with a temperature and a very high pulse rate, and I wondered if I should admit her. But when I followed up two days later, she was so much better,” Coetzee said. Older individuals with conditions such as diabetes or heart disease could face more complications from the variant than the people she treated, she said. “What we have to worry about now is that when older, unvaccinated people are infected with the new variant, and if they are not vaccinated, we are going to see many people with a severe [form of the] disease,” she said. South African officials have voiced anger at the restrictions slapped on the nation. “The reaction of countries to impose travel bans are completely against the norms and standards as guided by the World Health Organization,” said Joe Phaahla, the country’s health minister, the Guardian reported. “The same countries that are enacting this kind of knee-jerk, draconian reaction are battling their own waves.” Otto de Vries, CEO of the Association of Southern African Travel Agents, called the restrictions a “a knee-jerk reaction.”

I still say that Rush is orchestrating all of this lefty hysteria to point out how insane they are. He always used absurdity to demonstrate the absurd. Case in point the name of this new variant. They HAD to skip 2 of the Greek letters NU and XI because they could be misunderstood or "hurtful" to the lovers of Red Chinese president XI. So, (inspired by Rush) they chose Omnicron. Rearrange the letters and you get MORONIC. Rush, you've done it again.

One thing is for sure. Since Biden and his Obama led leftist and socialist crew cannot stop COVID to any legitimate degree, the leftist and socialist Democrats are already hyping the so-called Omicron variant, and want the COVID pandemic to go on past the 2022 off year election and will perpetuate all sorts of bogus figures and institute so-called “lockdowns” and all that goes with them to ensure that happens. Remember when Biden was telling the American people that they had to elect him to get the COVID pandemic under control, that was bogus. Since then all Biden’s many pronouncements have turned out to be completely bogus or fraudulent with Biden and his crew actually attempting to do as much damage to the US economy and middle class life as possible.

OH NO! Another variant! Lock the doors and throw away the keys, put on 5 masks, and get your vaccines. At least that is what Fauci, Democrats, Biden, and other power hungry people would want us to do. Luckily us common thinking people have grown used to hearing about the "variant of the week" and have come to realize that each variant, while possibly more contagious than the previous one, is also much weaker and less likely to do real harm to you. The Covid virus is quickly devolving down to the equivalent of the common cold. They new variants are hyped up and much ado about nothing.

China has already shown it is not a trustworthy country. It has also already shown that it has aspirations of global domination. This virus has proven to be a very effective new weapon to shut down all of its competitors. Very inexpensive and with absolutely no counter attack consequences for them. I mentioned some time ago that it would be ridiculously easy for them to just keep manufacturing and releasing new variations of the virus in different locations around the world to keep the disruption going while they continue to arm with ever more lethal military tools and weapons. With the size of population they have, they may have gamed this out as an acceptable risk in order to be "the last power country standing". The WHO organization has already been shown to be a stealth ally of China. And they're certainly acting like it now

Who would have thought there were so many individuals on this planet who in their hearts were dictators just waiting for an opportunity to boss everyone around? This is a pandemic in itself. These megalomaniacs can’t wait to flex their power and lockdown their countries all in the name of saving lives, of course. Now that they have seen how easy it is to seize power, they are not going to give that up. They are so entirely out of control that they have zero self-awareness and even less restraint. Freedom loving people must resist this assault on their God given liberty to live their lives without bureaucratic interference by people driven mad with power. If all this has been a dry run so to speak in order for the elites who desire to rule the world to gage how we would react to intimidation by fear, it may very well backfire on them. I certainly hope the people of this country and throughout the world will dig their heels in and say, no more.

Chicken little, meet acorn. Yawn. And the globalists try again to make us believe they are our only bastion of safety for our own good. Get vaccinated because the vaccinated get infectious quicker but with milder symptoms like blood clots and heart issues. Who wants to go through the terrible harmful process of being exhausted for 4 days! All the symptoms that #4 posted are exactly what I had in August along with the low grade fever and a resting pulse of 95 and misfiring tastebuds (everything tasted over salty, Blech). Home, no hospital, no ventilator, 2 weeks to recover strength and over 60. Natural immunity. I truly am keeping granny safe!

Well, the lead doctor in South Africa where this next variant came from claims no one in her country needed to be hospitalized, and every case seemed to be mild. Of course, her opinion will be ignored because it doesn't fit the media and government narrative that the world is going to end.

Rittenhouse said he was taking online classes at ASU and in recent interviews, he had indicated that he would like to attend classes in-person – ASU had even previously confirmed he was enrolled as a ‘non-degree-seeking’ online student for the session that began in mid-October, even though the teen had not gone through the full admissions process.

The WHO has warned the new Omicron Covid super-mutant poses a 'very high' risk to the global pandemic recovery with 'severe consequences' possible if it causes a new wave of infections. 'Omicron has an unprecedented number of mutations, some of which are concerning for their potential impact on the trajectory of the pandemic,' the WHO said, amid fears the new variant is much more infectious than previous strains including Delta. 'The overall global risk related to the new variant ...is assessed as very high.'(Snip)'Omicron demonstrates just why the world needs a new accord on pandemics: our current system disincentivizes countries from alerting others to threats that will inevitably
The “Nuclear Option” for Kamala? 33 replies

I suggested last week that negative stories about Kamala Harris that ran on CNN and over at Politico were surely planted by the Biden political staff at the White House, but I’m not sure whether the same can be said about today’s much more savage story in The Telegraph: “With Kamala Harris looking unelectable, the Democrats are considering the nuclear option.” Unlike the Daily Mail, which sensationalizes news from the U.S. in tabloid style—though it must be said that it is often reporting stories the U.S. mainstream media avoids—The Telegraph is a staid broadsheet. Thus, some of the content of this story is all the more astounding for the panic

Gov. Charlie Baker expects a state-sanctioned COVID-19 vaccination passport program to be implemented in Massachusetts and several other states soon. During an appearance on GBH News' Boston Public Radio, Baker said a scannable quick response code, commonly known as a QR code, would show a person's vaccination status and be made available for others to scan and verify. "It's a universal standard and we've been working with a bunch of other states, there's probably 15 or 20 of them, to try to create a single QR code that can be used for all sorts of things where people may choose to require a vaccine," Baker said

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who previously served as White House physician under Barack Obama and Donald Trump, has a disturbing theory about the Omicron variant. On Saturday, Jackson suggested that Democrats will use the Omicron variant to push for universal mail-in voting for the 2022 midterm elections and save their party from an electoral bloodbath next year. “Here comes the MEV – the Midterm Election Variant!” Jackson tweeted. “They NEED a reason to push unsolicited nationwide mail-in ballots. Democrats will do anything to CHEAT during an election – but we’re not going to let them!” Reaction to the Omicron variant has been mixed. Some countries, including the United States,

We’ve heard of people with stinky feet taking off their shoes. We have heard of people listening to music or watching a movie without headphones. We’ve heard of people with “emotional support falcons.” But I promise you, this is a new one for us all.According to Newsweek, a woman on a recent flight between Syracuse, NY, and Atlanta, GA decided to give all of her fellow passengers a sight to see. The woman attempted to swaddle and breastfeed her cat. Yes, you read that right. Even worse is that after she was requested by flight personnel to put the cat and her breast away, she refused.From Newsweek:

President Joe Biden on Monday urged Americans to get vaccinated or get their booster shots amid warnings about the spread of the Omicron variant–but insisted that the infectious new variant was not a cause for 'panic' and said no new restrictions were needed. 'We'll fight this variant with scientific and knowledgeable actions and speed, not chaos and confusion,' Biden said at the White House. But even amid the pressing nature of the new variant, Biden misstated the name of the variant. 'It's called the Omnicron,' he said, inserting an extra 'n'–an error his coronavirus advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who was standing in the background, also committed.
