President Joe Biden issued a stark warning about the risks the Omicron variant poses to the unvaccinated in particular, as the nation braces for a steep escalation in cases amid an expected surge in hospitalizations. 'It's here, it's spreading and it's going to increase,' Biden cautioned in remarks Wednesday afternoon. With the highly transmissible new variant spreading at an alarming rate, amid an ongoing surge in the Delta variant, Biden warned of the trauma facing Americans who have not received covid vaccines. 'For the unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death,' said Biden. He also gave yet another hard sell for Americans to get booster

Comments:

*, Elizabeth Elkind, and Mansur Shaheen
An addled old crook who loudly breaks wind before the British royal family and who defecates in his pants with the pope says we need booster shots or we'll die. Meanwhile, The Science says the shots, boosters included, are almost completely ineffective against what Joey Fingers calls "omnicron," and that the new variant is about the same as the common cold.

It appears from the numbers and reports that there is very little positive effects from taking the "vaccines" and a great deal of potential downside. I will pass.

I guess this means that anyone that dies in 2022 will now die of *'s "omnicron", and there'll be no more covid or delta variant deaths. And we'll see another year of no one dying from the flu.

Hey moron, the vaccinated with Johnson & Johnson are not very happy to go for the bust right now. The NIH and AMA prohibited Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin and killed hundreds of thousands. The USA has the highest death rate from Covid in the entire world thanks to our affluent American Doctors.

I know I had covid back in December of 2019 - I had all the symptoms. I've been vaxxed and boosted. From everything I have read, the omicron (which should have been xi) is mild and you feel like you have a bad cold. I refuse to be scared of it. My parish priest reminds of of the words of Jesus "be not afraid" and when it comes to covid. I am not afraid. Take that *Biden. Take that *Fauci.

Two things are going on here. Gas prices and inflation are starting to rise again so they want to distract you from this. AND they want FEAR so that many will go out and get the shot. Someone is making big money from this. The virus is so weak that you may not know you had it. It's less dangerous than the annual flu. By the way, has anyone that you know had the flu this year? It's a miracle......

Even if we pretend that the shots do not have potentially deadly side effects, the "experts" have said that the shots will have little effect on omicron, so why bother? And for the umpteenth time, why must it be all of one thing (vaccines) and none of the other (treatment, boost your natural immune system)?

The Omicron is hitting the vaccinated who are the ones now hospitalized. Healthcare workers are exhausted and since these criminal won't allow patients to be treated, our healthcare system is going to collapse. Isolate the vaccinated and let the rest of us alone.

In the novel "1984" the handful of world governments were always at war with each other. "The War" was the constant reason given for the chronic shortages and need for heavy handed government control and censorship. In our world, our "leaders" have substituted a virus for war. They hope to realize the same results though. Let's Go Brandon!

I'm still skeptical of the 800,000 dead because of Covid. Everyone seems to be using that number without questioning how accurate it is. Since the very beginning, the numbers seemed inflated. No one was dying of anything else except Covid. All other causes of death were eliminated. Meanwhile, stories would come out of heart attack victims, motorcycle accident victims etc. being counted as Covid deaths, and that families of the deceased were getting money because their family member died of Covid. I don't know if any of this is true, but for all we know, less than 100,000 people actually died from Covid. It's still a lot of people, but since when has the MSM and politicians not lied about this whole issue for control.

Since the jab is ineffective against these variants, why bother getting them in the first place? I have too many health issues already and do not need the added burden of what the jabs offer to everyone. Besides, I think that it is the already jabbed who will have the problems and will be filling the hospitals, not the unvaxxed among us. Thanks to the mandates in the Pro Leagues like NFL and NHL, positives are emptying the benches of available players fast. Could be fun watching the NFL deal with no Super Bowl this year.

Olivia and Amy are sitting outside in the shade, trying to escape from New Zealand’s early-summer humidity. Amy, 10 months old, burbles happily in the background as her mother talks. She is healthy, happy, and oblivious to her status as a world first: one of a handful of babies born from the first sperm bank for HIV-positive donors. The bank, Sperm Positive, launched in New Zealand in 2019, in an effort to reduce the stigma faced by HIV-positive people—and raise awareness that with treatment, the virus was undetectable and untransmissible. It grabbed international headlines when it was launched, but has been more than a publicity gimmick.

Lawmakers can't agree on how to save college students from years of stifling loan debt. It's an ideological tug-of-war that can't end soon enough for millions of Americans. It's also a fight that's personal for many congressional staffers who work under those members, and who are still paying off the bills for their own educations — with some having paid over decades.An Insider analysis of congressional financial disclosures for 2020 and 2021 found that Congress itself was profoundly affected: About 360 high-ranking staffers owed money on student loans. Dozens of these staffers either work for House or Senate leadership,

The coronavirus will hit millions of Americans in a "viral blizzard" within a few weeks as infections from the Omicron variant pile on top of Delta, an expert predicts. Already, hospitalizations are rising as the holiday season gets into full swing. Long lines for Covid-19 testing formed Thursday in metro areas, including New York, Boston and Miami. The Delta variant remains a problem. And Omicron, with its high transmissibility, could strike millions more soon, said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

For the last several years, billionaire philanthropist George Soros has been quietly financing a revolution in criminal justice reform, doling out tens of millions of dollars to progressive candidates in district attorney races throughout the country amid movements to abolish bail and defund the police.Working with an activist attorney, Soros, 91, mainly funnels cash through a complicated web of federal and state political action committees as well as non-profits from coast to coast, public records show.Last year, the Foundation to Promote Open Society, a nonprofit in Soros’ orbit, gave $3 million to the Community Resource Hub for Safety and Accountability,

President Biden said Thursday that Americans unvaccinated against the coronavirus are facing a winter of "severe illness and death." "It’s here now and it’s spreading and it’s going to increase," the president said about the omicron variant while meeting with his coronavirus response team. "For unvaccinated we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death if you’re unvaccinated for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they will soon overwhelm." (Snip) Biden’s warning comes almost a year into his presidency after repeating many times on the campaign trail that he was the candidate who would "shut down the virus"

Let the parade begin! Democrats who see the writing on the wall and who have been around in Congress for a while are seeing this as a good time to pack it in. The latest to retire is five-term Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-CA). Lowenthal is the 20th Democrat who will be retiring or otherwise moving on at the end of this term. He’s 80 years old and has been serving in political positions since 1992, almost thirty years. Generally, you hear a lot of retirements after the holidays. The fact that there have been so many already has to be worrying the Democrats because there are likely even more coming,

With Its New Christmas Ad

I am not sure who told Chevrolet that what we really needed this Christmas was to ugly cry over an ad they produced for the holidays, but whoever it was needs to go sit in the corner and think about what they’ve done. You may have seen the shortened version of this ad, titled “Holiday Ride,” on TV. But you don’t get the full emotional impact without seeing the extended four-minute version, which is a tear-jerker and hit me harder than listening to my child ask me why Mufasa wasn’t waking up. [Video] All the jokes aside, this ad is possibly one of the most needed

Elon Musk's bizarre feud with a senator and a television host intensified on Thursday, with news anchor Joy Reid accusing him of 'misappropriating black vernacular for misogynistic purposes' by using the insult 'Karen'—and Musk referring to Reid, in turn, as a lobbyist for Elizabeth Warren.(Snip)'Elon wasn't happy, so he did what he always did, and stomped his little feet and insulted Senator Warren,' said Reid. 'Calling her an 'angry mom' and referring to her as Senator Karen. 'So for so many reasons—being a freeloader, and a selfish and disrespectful one, and for misappropriating black vernacular for misogynistic purposes—Elon Musk is the absolute worst.
