Health Secretary Sajid Javid has told the Commons that the new Nu variant identified this week in Botswana is of “huge international concern” and that: “One of the lessons of this pandemic has been that we must move quickly, and at the earliest possible moment.”
Although he said we don’t know “definitively” whether the exponential growth in reported infections in South Africa is directly associated with the new variant, he added that analysis suggests there may be many cases that haven’t been detected so far.
“We’re heading into winter and our booster programme is still ongoing, so we must act with caution,” he said.
The FTSE 100 crashed 3.4% on the news of the new variant’s emergence, revealing investors’ worries about the impact a new, potentially vaccine-evading variant might have on economic activity.
Ross Clark summarises the reasons for the concern:
The variant – otherwise known as B.1.1.529 – was only identified in Botswana on Tuesday. We have had numerous variants emerge this year, few of which have succeeded in establishing themselves as a real concern. But what is worrying virologists about Nu is that it has an unusually high number of mutations – 50, according to South Africa’s Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation. Moreover, 30 of these are in the virus’s spike protein, which it uses to attach itself to human cells. This is concerning because it is the spike protein on which Covid vaccines have been working. If the spike protein changes, it could potentially create a variant that may evade existing vaccines.
There are still many unknowns, such as whether it is more transmissible or causes more severe disease, preliminary analysis of which will take several weeks.
Ross also rightly asks what we can realistically do about it anyway:
So can we keep it out of Britain? Almost certainly not if Nu is highly transmissible. Many countries tried to clamp down against the Delta variant by restricting international travel but it made little difference in the end. It is also doubtful whether travel restrictions could buy us much time to re-engineer vaccines. When the original South African variant – Beta – emerged last year, Pfizer suggested it would take several weeks to reprogramme its mRNA vaccine to cope with the new challenge. However, the vaccine would then need to be manufactured, distributed and put into people’s arms – which would take weeks or months. By then, if Nu really does have the ability to sidestep existing vaccines, it is likely that it will already be endemic.
Sajid Javid’s claim that the lesson of the pandemic is to act early, fast and hard is very concerning. It suggests that more of the same excess of caution that plunged us into ill-advised lockdowns in the first place is, depressingly, to continue to be our Government’s modus operandi for the foreseeable future.
Stop Press: A reader got in touch to point out this article that appears to show the new variant, B.1.1.529, had already been identified in South Africa in July, over four months ago. UPDATE: It appears that the July article was updated this week, so this may explain why the variant appeared to have been discovered months ago.
Stop Press 2: Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty has urged calm, saying he is more concerned about the risks posed by existing variants, describing the Delta epidemic as “undoubtedly the principal thing we need to concern ourselves with between now and Christmas”.
Stop Press 3: The variant has now been named the Omicron variant by the WHO, rather than the Nu variant, as many had anticipated.

A new variant that escapes vaccines, colour me shocked. Just as was predicted in that leaked Whitehall script back in April that I can’t seem to find any more
“Surprised, Eddie?… If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised.” National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
Doesn’t need to be new to escape the vaccines – they all do
How right you are..
Spot on 👍
i like your name
I must confess to having the biggest shit-eating grin at work today. The ‘normies’ are all talking about this new scary variant, and I am openly laughing at them. And I do so as I remind them that I called this over a year ago. And I also remind them that this conspiracy theorist keeps getting things correct. It’s almost like I (us here) can see what’s coming.
It is comical. You have to take these moments to laugh, with the knowledge/theories of what it’s being done for weighing heavy on all of us.
” I remind them that I called this over a year ago.”
I’ve now stopped laughing at the constant repetition of this syndrome. No refutation of the proven official idiocy makes any impact IME. People are incredibly damaged psychologically, and well beyond any rational thought.
Today’s bit of appropriate 1920-30s German fascist vocabulary : Volksgesundheit. (culled from Himmler’s letters)
Interesting how often one turns to Nazi terminology to describe current attitudes and posturing.
Do you mention the Nazis in every post ?

The one I was thinking of was a concerned whitehall worker had leaked what the Government was up to, it said the ultimate goal was to put people back in their boxes this winter and bring in the Covid Passport.
It said a new variant would emerge in late autumn that evades all vaccines but one manufacturer would come to the rescue, however a problem with its manufacture would emerge.
Well….Novavax just announced they will have something ready in 3-4 weeks, let’s see what the “problem” is that means people have to wait longer under restrictions.
It is of course a load of bollocks, a pantomime being played out with the end goal of the communist nanny state and checkpoint society.
Just remember that those pushing out this ‘import information’ are politicians and their minions, who lie through their teeth at us. They know that we know they are lying, which is why they are scared of us and need to keep us locked-down in our hutches.
Until enough of us show them we don’t believe them, and won’t take it anymore, they won’t stop producing more and scarier ‘new varients’.
But wait, according to the Ministry Of Truth, it does not escape vaccines, it only escapes natural immune response. The world is saved once again! You can start clapping now!
Edit: according to the most renowned German health expert (a guy who keeps being interviewed and spreading panic like a broken record from day one) it does escape double-vaccines, but does not escape boosters! You know what to do!
You mean the booster that’s identical to the original ‘vaccine’? The one that hasn’t been updated at all and doesn’t seem to work at all on the Delta variant? So this completly unchanged booster can magically work on the Botswana bollocks variant then?
As some people might not know this person: That’s a SPD politician called Karl Lauterbach who looks vaguely like Gollum (Gollum is on record for categorically denying to be related to them) and his expertise is that he studied health policy and management in the USA (IIRC, in Harvard), IOW, he’s a US-graduate in theoretical and applied public health bullshit.
The fact that he studied in the USA also strongly suggest that his familiy has more money than he had brains. Otherwise, his grades should have enabled him to study in Germany.
Third Finger Prominent Salute.
In case of doubt, an option in answer to “you know what to do”….not being intentionally gratuitously rude.
Well look at that for timing! How fortuitous for them! Jesus H Christ…
What baffles me is that Twatter is awash with cretins crying out for people to inject themselves and wear muzzles to stop “tHiS rEaLlY sCaRy ThInG!”. They’re begging for more lockdowns and mandates.
Can we just fuck them all off to China now?
I’d be happy for the twatter twits to lockdown and wear muzzles – less people to clog up the roads – and I doubt they contribute to real society much anyway
True enough!
Apparently this new Botswana variant, the one with the long spike, goes for children – so it’s really great that the vaccines for the kids are now ready.
The Government and SAGE and the likes of Whitty and Ferguson all know they can get away with any old rubbish now.
Ahh excellent! How lucky we are…
This country is seeing a spike in positives for kids 0 to 14.
In terms of fatalities here is the latest – note the flat line for under 60s
Have you got a link to the information for children aged 0-14?
I have been expecting the ruling criminals against humanity to come for children…
I won’t be surprised if within six months all children are made wards of the state.
it is on the ONS site but you need to filter it for just England. It is the coloured graphic.
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases?areaType=nation&areaName=England
Many thanks. So the current case rate is much higher for the 10-14 age group than it is for any other 5-year-wide group or for 90+. Indeed it seems higher than the rate for any such group ever, even people aged 90+ in January.
Are they being tested more?
Edit: correction. Among 10-14s the reported case rate was higher in October than now.
“What baffles me is that Twatter is awash with cretins”
I know I am quoting that out of context, but it is still funny.
Hahah yea, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised really!
Wouldn’t trust anything on social media, good chance they are mostly bots.
Too true. Not that I have twatter or farcebook, but I still like to see the reactions of the floppies. Brightens my day to see the chicken panic..
China doesn’t want them.
So we’ve had the extraordinarily fast spreading virus circulating the UK for nearly 2 years now – if you haven’t had it by now, with or without symptoms, then you must surely be in the minority. Everyone else either has memory immunity or were so young and healthy that their innate immune systems dealt with it without the need for memory immunity. So no point being bothered about the latest BS scariant, unless…..
you’ve been vaxxed and are without natural memory immunity, in which case the vaccine may have switched off your innate immune system, in which case you may be fucked – so good luck to you and thank you for participating in the experiment.
It looks as if we may be getting prima facie evidence as to whether those who said it was folly to “vaccinate” in the midst of a pandemic of rapidly-evolving variants, let alone with the stuff being injected, were right or wrong; or maybe in between.
just what we need, 116 words or pure panic.
The government-media message today really is “Panic!”
This is clear from how they’re saying this is the worst strain ever, we’ve all got to be cautious, but it’s evading vaccines…
…and how they aren’t saying that therefore they have decided X.
Soon they will say they have decided X, but we aren’t at that point yet. For the moment, everyone should be a good boy or girl and shiver with fear.
PS What is the singular of “sheeple”?
Sheepie?
Yellow-bellied morons!
Or moron, if one wishes to be pedantic.
After nearly 2 years? Wanker?
Or a reality check?
…
Worst GOVERNMENT ever.
It’s not a ‘government’ – it’s a mafia.
Exactly the description used by US born Dr Emanuel Garcia (after 37 minutes in) at this excellent New Zealand press conference. The whole presentation is a must view. To quote Dr Matt Shelton “This is a recipe for disaster”. And to quote psychiatrist Dr Garcia, whenever he is challenged about his lack of scientific training in immunology and epidemiology, he facetiously retorts “I do have the ability to think a little bit”.

Until the next one comes along. FFS!
The funny thing is we don’t know anything about this variant right now. Not now transmissible, vaccine avoidant, or deadly. It’s had the most mutations, but in general such high levels of mutation in one strain doesn’t end well for it. So, how about we all take a deep breath, send all the journalist on a fact-finding trip to Malawi, and live with the reality that lots of things try and kill us and something always does in the end.
DCO, Tend to agree, but what is devastating for you (sarc) is that is a far too well thought out, relevant (i.e. re: mutating>more transmissable>more virulent>less pathogenic and then repeat as it dies slowly, as I understand viruses do naturally) sensible, calm and cool headed approach so stands no chance of “flying”. The evilly actuated bastards with the power are serially incapable of such detached thought processes or are 100% ignorant and are being led by the nose – or both.
Is there an extra R in that headline?
Elvis will second that !
Botswana variant! HaHa Good one, but judging by the reaction on social media,. hardly anyone believes it..
Did anybody have Botswana in the sweepstake?
No, I’ve had my eye on a Swedish variant though
I’ve had my eye on the Swedish women.
Who, Nina Persson perhaps?
You mean these babes in Mälmö?
HaHaHa! Photo on a Kent beach.
This is why the men from The ROP shag each other & drool etc etc over indigenous western women ! Like expecting a starving dog not to eat your dinner when you are not looking 😳
Sorry, you’re endorsing the hetero-patriarchy, Go to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect £200.
They should just have gone all in and said ‘Wakanda Variant’ and majority of the brainwashed would have believed them
My money was on the Welsh Variant – Llanfairpwll-gwyngyllgogerychwyrndrob
Rapistdadus !
Nobody apart from the usual loons is buying into the NuFlu. It’s so obvious.
MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE CALLED IT THE CAPS LOCK VARIANT!!!!!
I was close – 6 months ago, I predicted it would be from Angola!
Mods are deleting posts!! Twice in succession for me in the last 5 mins
What did you say?
He can’t say it 😂
Covid super-mutant IS in Europe: Belgium has two confirmed cases of vaccine-resistant Botswana strain – as South Africans are BANNED from getting off plane in Amsterdam
Which will need a super lockdown, followed by a super booster, until it mutates to a super, super variant & a ultra super mutation of the variant’s sub variant requiring a platinum booster every 3 hours!
1) It’s NOT a vaccine
2) it was never resistant to any strain
Top work DM!
It does offer protection against severe disease.
That being the case, why are the vaccinated so afraid?
Because it is the business of the vaccinated to be afraid.
Its what they do.
Doh! If they told you that the moon is covered with redcurrent jelly would you believe that too?
Monoclonal antibody infusions, HCQ, Ivermectin and other early administered anti virals, preceded by high dose Vit C, D, Quercertin, Zinc , amongst others, do offer protection ( Ref Dr Peter McCullough and other medics world wide) against severe disease with no known statistically adverse effect, and in the case of Ivermectin 4 billion doses and counting with c.20+ deaths in 4 decades ( WHO)
If “it ” does, how long does that last? What are the current known adverse effects of “it” – see VAERS/MHRA Yellow card and EMA.
Why, knowing that the S1 spike protein is the agent for the clotting and inflammatory response* would you take it to “reduce severe symptoms” and risk severe side effects vs proven, beneficial early treatment regimes – and which keep you out of hospital – you remember hospitals, along with Care Homes the 2 biggest sources of infections in the UK in 2020 onwards that sadly proved lethal ? (*Studies which isolated the spike protein have proved that and Dr Richard Fleming has proved the immediate damaging inflammatory effect of the jabs – AZ/Pfizer/J&J – on red blood cells).
Protection which puts you in the firing line of other, potentially deadly, threats is not protection – is it?
Of course it does.
It brings you death and death protects you from every disease.
LOL! Excellent.
Why the FUCK does every FUCKING headline have to be written like THIS
Is this NuVariant as badly modelled as the vCJD debacle by Imperial Colleges resident Astrologer
If the I
ndianDelta variant has anything to go by, we’ll have horror stories from ol’ Fergie for the next few weeks to nudge the smooth brains back into fear-induced subservience then it’ll filter out again until they need another nudge.And if it’s super harmless, they’ll just revisit and peddle the long Covid fairy tale story again…
Totally unnecessary and idiotic to vaxx anyone with the Wuhan gunk against this then. Completely insane to talk about mandates for this now.
But will they EVER see, let alone accept that basic conclusion?
People should be on the streets demanding a total refocus on treatment and prophylactic drugs and supplements instead and insist upon them being made readily available.
Sofar, it was ‘just’ manslaughter to not do so and even block availability of those drugs. From now on, it’s clearly deliberate mass murder.
They obviously think we are too thick to notice!
80% of Brits are just that. Don’t take my word for it – look around you.
I look around and all I see
Are burning buildings, barren trees
Hopelessness is starting to wreak havoc…
Well, actually all I see are…
Yep, gov can’t have it both ways, there can’t be any increased need to vaccinate/boost every fucker if we’re supposed to be terrified of the fact that this new one supposedly evades it
yeadon called it over a year ago !!!
It’s already mass murder – deliberate witholding of treatment that can/does save lives.
“There are no desperate situations, there are only desperate people.”
– Heinz Guderian
His side still lost.
Be fair, he was up against 57 variants.
So new they couldn’t finish its branding – Nu.
If this doesn’t wake a few sheeple up I don’t know. Mainstream news release that is brought out to out-amplify the professional athletes dropping dead every day. You know, the ones who exercise every day, for their living.
Switch the (tv) programming off and be there for friends and family who have been deceived. Most will be embarrassed so don’t go to hard on them when explaining the’ve never isolated the covid-19 strain.
They MUST suppress the stories on athletes around the world falling out. This is the point of greatest vulnerability for their BS narratives.
https://stephenc.substack.com/p/5-fold-increase-in-sudden-cardiac
Oh but but TPTB said it had nothing to do with the vaxxines. Its becoming a real farce!
How long until they blame the unvaccinated, who might not even get it at all due to NOT suffering from OAS like the vaccinated, isntead of their misguided mass vaccination campaign with leaky vaccines that created and will only create OAS and such variants, as GvdB and others have always predicted?!
Their sheer survival will depend upon denying the latter and making sure that the vaccinated won’t be able to adopt this, correct, view and conclusion.
Yes.
Here’s one bit of science they will want to deny
https://twitter.com/DrJohnB2/status/1463811691616116738
Dutch research team finds COVID vaccines increase risk of infection https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.11.24.21266735v1
Of course they do.
A mere look at real world data suffices to come to that conclusion.
And the why? is also pretty clear.
Correction: this paper looks to me like it is really just showing waning efficacy, or at least negligible efficacy against infection with delta. Not as interesting as at first glance.
Team of scientists discover the bloody obvious
So the UK knew this was coming which is why they didn’t need to cause a stir around what was happening in EUrope. That was specifically to deal with countries with <70% vaccination rates. They’;re essentially already a level ahead with focus now on justifying boosters. Pfizer will probably in two weeks time come out with “lab tests” (yeah right) that demonstrates that boosters raise efficacy against the Nu variant by 100000%. So, this gives the UK govt justification to lockdown not because of rising cases, but the urgent need to get people onto the boosters
I spoke to my elderly mother this AM. First thing she said is “get the vaccine, there is a dangerous new variant.”
This variant has been announced IMO to try mop up the remaining refuseniks. They will really ramp up the pressure with this and we will see calls for vaccine mandates spread from Austria and Germany across the rest of Europe. Folks like my mother are more likely to buy into this thinking with a rampant new virus on the loose.
Catch the wuFlu, don’t risk the jab AND THEN risking COVID.
No matter how often this lie gets repeated, there’s no vaccine mandate in Germany at the moment. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Corona is an American-Chinese-coproduction and not one involving hereditary Nazis.
“there’s no vaccine mandate in Germany at the moment” Well, is there not widespread discrimination against the unvaxxed, including some settings that are off limits unless you are vaxxed or recovered (2G)?
Certain the US has contributed to the covid folly and evil, though one should also note that there’s a good deal more resistance to it there than in continental Europe.
Yes, there is. And some people are calling for mandatory vaccination but so far, this hasn’t happened. Unvaccinated people are blocked from pretty much anything and they have to get tested daily at work, but that’s it.
As for continental Europe, that’s the Nachkriegsordnung at work: Loads of artificually created, partially ethnically cleansed toy states which are more-or-less officially subject to various international bodies. Eg, technically, Austria is not a state, it’s an autonomous reservation for Germans.
“Unvaccinated people are blocked from pretty much anything and they have to get tested daily at work, but that’s it.”
…isn’t that enough?
It is execrable. But no, it is not enough for the rulers.
Austria has declared that vaccination will become mandatory in Feburary 2021 and Germany hasn’t. Hence, theres a pending vaccine mandate in Austria but not in Germany.
‘but that’s it’. epitath to the Jews in the 30/40s?
‘Unvaccinated’ is being redefined almost on a daily basis in France. Its not whether you have been jabbed, its when and now with what, that counts.
It allows politicians to say they are not mandating, but in reality they are.
How can unvaccinated Germans get to work if they’re not even allowed on buses and trains?
Something the Mail misreported last week, with the wording looking very much like a translation error. Access to public transport in Germany is conditional on the so-called 3G conditions, one must either be vaccinated (geimpft), recovered (genesen) or tested (getestet).
“Vaccine mandate” is a horrible bureaucratic term.
“Vaccination” is not compulsory in Germany.
The German government has not said it plans to make “vaccination” compulsory.
The Austrian government has said it plans to make “vaccination” compulsory by February.
People need to distinguish between facts and interpretations.
What will happen in my opinion is that many European and other governments WILL try to make vaccination compulsory in a direct and literal sense. They won’t simply make life increasingly difficult for the unvaccinated. They will shout from their megaphones that any person who is unvaccinated (without permission) is a criminal of a vilely antisocial AND politically subversive kind and that such people are being arrested and injected forcibly.
your mother is the problem. thinks she knows it all. knows nothing. imposes her stupidity on other people. thinks nothing of it. she’s an idiot. hey, don’t take offence, mine’s one too.
So predictable – everyone here said that a ‘new variant’ would pop up just before Christmas. And here we are. Anyone who believes in this ‘new variant’ should run round in circles flapping their arms whilst shouting “Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!”
It’s not just the British Government taking the piss, it’s on TV here in Finland right now on the ‘News’. How they must be laughing – and they’re getting away with it. “Watch out for that virus!” they say, as you turn round and they grab your wallet.
Mine is already panicking about it.
At the moment, the authorities aren’t going at all heavy on vaccinating the unvaccinated in their propaganda about the Nu variant.
You overestimate the use of logic in propaganda.
What they are likely to say is
I know that means “X doesn’t work, and you must do X”, and it’s perhaps a clearer case than before. Well exactly. Mindcontrol is advancing.
Agreed; no increase in infection rate in South Africa since…July 2021; spread like wildfire outside SA – not.
Have to admit not scoped the Worldmeter stats for those countries bordering SA. Project Fear re-energised by the most evil, corrupt people to inhabit this country; Great Reset started in the UK , but not as maybe intended.
Jeez.. you’d have thought they could have changed the script. Who are they employing in those think tanks FFS ???
Whatever, these cretins aren’t going to give up with their lies, so its up to us to both expose and oppose them at every turn..
Well – the gullible vaccinated hoards are so susceptible that they don’t need new programming medication – they are quite happy with the same old shite.
I’m convinced there is something in those jabs which does the programming of the gullible for them and wipes out any ability they might have to think critically or even think for themselves
Careful – you may loose a lot of time correcting grammar and spelling on the internet
You’re so very right!! (* lose, not ‘loose’…!)
Even if you believe their ludicrous narrative how will apparently unmodified vaccines be protective against a new strain – meanwhile they will continue to suppress effective interventions.
In case anyone didn’t know
Botswana released a media bulletin about the new variant and the 4 cases
In the 2nd paragraph it states That all 4 were fully vaccinated
The 4 people were diplomats
https://twitter.com/BWGovernment/status/1463874240130785280?t=5RWVccfm_KiNfcB_fmp7tg&s=19
So when the media tries to spin it as a variant of the Unvaccinated
We can put them straight
yeah which is why I think this is more about getting the booster plan rolling
Ratty, ratty, I can smell you…
Nothing in the statement saying they were Diplomats, just says travellers. Where is the link to the Diplomat status, and does it mention which country they are from ( not a big one starting with a C by any chance?).
Here
Later tweet
https://twitter.com/BWGovernment/status/1464184386912501764?t=JwJFqWp1rBnuGTt2IWXDCg&s=19
Also says they didn’t have symptoms so vaccine might still offer protection.
Sorry read it too quickly. “None of the contacts” had symptoms
Thank you, would be great to know where from.
We’re the four laid out in the mortuary, stiff as boards?
Or were they walking about unaffected and untroubled in their daily life which, being diplomats, means working to annoy ordinary people?
Surely anybody who has been vaccinated with the original spike protein will because of original antigenic sin (OAS) only have any protection that the experimental vaccines give against the original spike. And the second dose will have worsened the position because of OAS and the booster even more so. You are digging a bigger and bigger hole for yourself the more vaccines you have (possibly literally) because you are left open to new variants that evade any protection that the jab might give.
So leaving aside the net harm of the experimental vaccines, it’s another reason these experimental vaccines are a bad idea.
Natural immunity comes with exposure to all of the epitopes of the virus and so is longer lasting and wider ranging, as long as you don’t get vaccinated afterwards and prevent affinity maturation following infection from happening.
All the more reason to remain unvaccinated.
Wife is biologist, has worked in immunology. Wife says just that.
Spot on.
And totally inadmissable.
The Valneva jab just possibly might give some protection, if it is ever allowed to be distributed.
Well, I for one hope I don’t catch the Nu variant. I’m not prepared for it – I don’t own baggy jeans, a red baseball cap, or a chain for my wallet. It’s just one of those days…
‘Nu Variant’
…it was a great band back in the 90s, wasn’t it?
I once had a Nu phone, cheap Chinese stuff, its all in the name.
Power, Corruption & Lies
And to have the jab you don’t have to be over the Age of Consent.
The sole reason for concern is that people celebrating Christmas might feel insufficiently pandemic afterwards, exactly the same as last year, when the great variant game was started for this express purpose, and the only sensible reaction to this is Fuck off and die.
These experts aren’t fighting viruses, they wield viruses in order to fight people.
“These experts aren’t fighting viruses, they wield viruses in order to fight people.” You should put that on a t-shirt – you’d sell thousands!
It’s probably too long. And I hate talking T-shirts 🙂 .
Even Julia Hartley-Brewer on TalkRadio this morning had succumbed to the paranoia and indulged in a little scaremongering. I was massively disappointed in her. She has fallen into the MSM hysteria trap and was even suggesting another lockdown was imminent even though she then immediately professed to be anti lockdown of course. One might be forgiven into thinking she actually wants another lockdown to give her something to rant about other than migrants crossing the channel which has been her bête noire all week.
I am convinced its the jab – something in it makes people more fearful than normal, which when you think about it suits the government just fine. A fearful populace is an easy one to manipulate.
Dan Wooton on GB News last night was very dismissive of it as rot. Go Dan
Well – f. me! Quelle surprise! Bang on time for the Christmas scare season.
‘Pat! he comes like the catastrophe of the old comedy’
Good ole Bill – a line for every time.
It’s behind you!!
If the new variant evades the vaccines, that means it’s the vaccinated who are a) most at risk and b) most risky to others.
Maybe we need to keep those people locked up for their and our safety? We could give them some kind of identification to show they are at risk. I don’t know, maybe a vaccination passport?
No no no, the triple-jabbed are totally safe. We just need to shorten the validity of the existing vaccination passports for everyone, and we’re good (already done – no longer 12 months, but only 9 months according to EU; but there’s still room for improvement).
Ummm, in case anyone misses the sarcasm, are those triple jabbed in ICU fighting for life, because A) they have been denied early treatment drugs and only sent to hospital when their blood oxygen level is below 90, their lungs shot…totally safe?
Vaxports – for the jabbed who are almost just as likely to get “infected” as unjabbed – world class commonsense.
But it already evades the “vaccines”…?
As H L Mencken observed, “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
Mencken has so many pithy utterances for these dark times.
Were he alive today, he’d be having a ball with this nonsense.
If recent experience tells us anything at all, it is that you cannot lock-down and try to control a virus. It has not worked anywhere it has been tried, it is a complete failure.
But watch them do it all over again asap
The variant – otherwise known as
B.1.1.529the deadly b.U.l.I.5.h.1.t variant– was onlyidentified in Botswanacooked-up in Downing St on Tuesday.
Oh, I see we’re back to using “exponential” as a terror word.
All that it means, and all that it’s ever meant, is that the rate of change of a value is proportionate to the size of that value.
It’s the size of the exponent that matters.
R <= 1 is a reduction or a steady state.
R = 1.000001 exponential growth, lock down ALL the things!
Well, at least we can now say that we have literal Nuspeak.
Actually, exponential growth is N = kT^R. As you say, R=1.000001 is exponential, but also, k is a contstant may be very small.
and if R = 0.5 its still exponential because R is still an exponent. but N is falling
No biological system is truly exponential, they all have a correction for using up population.(i.e. cant be killed twice).
‘Surge’ is so last week.
It really means something different: Actual case numbers are so small to they accidentally double in fairly short time intervals.
The B.5H.1.T.529 Variant
The B.5.T.5.H.1.T.6.R.8.Z.Y.021 variant.
lols both 🙂
BS Variant?
Correction: what they are worried about is not the impact of yet another Scariant – they are worried about the problems which will be caused by yet more paranoid government over-reaction which is likely to include measures which are economically damaging.
Markets are worried about governments overreaction, governments are worried and prone to that overreaction because they can see their vaccination idiocy being exposed and the vaccinated losing faith and goung after them, about which markets are worried too.
Bring the popcorn….
Governments will be rubbing their hands, yet another opportunity to inject the gullible with more of Gates’s “poison death shots”.
Sure, like ‘this scariant may elude the vaccines, so let’s vaccinate some more!’
A first look, clarification and explanation of the various, often misreported, mutations by some pretty smart guys at Nu, in German.
Also: The detection and identification process is a bit dodgy.
It c/should well be more harmless, just as its predecessor.
The Big Elephant: vaccination was and is completely useless then (and if OAS is widespread, counterproductive).

Good news is that for those with natural immunity from past exposure to the 6 endemic coronavirus we’ve known about for decades, that share many epitopes with SARS-Cov2 will still retain a large potential cross immunity, since this immunity largely disregards the S domain, concentrating T-cell immunity on many more stable epitopes of coronavirus.
For those who have had their immune system reprogrammed by leaky genetic tranfections, it is unclear how they will be effected.
DYOR on immune system boosting, Vit D deficiency was the 3rd major indication for severe cov behind old age and BMI, Vit C and zinc have much research behind them for immune system boosting anti-viral properties, selenium plays important roles in the immune system, and for those who have had the transfections, research NAD+ since this is linked to longevity a deficiency of NAD leads to 30% decrease in longevity for animal models, and we know the transfections target SIRT6 that controls NAD production.
I bought some NAD when I learned they were trying to get that banned too. What I am hoping is for those who have taken the jabs is their bodies will eventually expel the toxins, but as to whether the lost immunity can be regained I don’t know.
I also wouldn’t be too sure about expelling the toxins. That might be one thing but if your genes have been edited and your body has done stuff to the markers which protect against cancer [see Dr Ryan Cole] then I am not optimistic
I did a post onthe forum about this, spike down-regulates Toll like Receptors TLR4/7/8, impotant protiens found on tumors that help the immune response regonise them.
Its VitB , exercise ( in warm climates if poss) and keto eating does the job of restoring.
It does seem that being ill with COVID is akin to being about 6 months older than you really are in terms of risk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gompertz_function) someone could work it out properly but I’m just looking at the relative mortality at age graphs and measuring by eye.
Interesting, “Mammalian sirtuins are NAD+-dependent
deacylases with a huge range of roles in transcription regulation,
energy metabolism modulation, cell survival, DNA repair, inflammation,
and circadian rhythm regulation…” (David Sinclair is big into longevity research)
https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.118.312498
I’m ignoring the biochemistry in the paper, but you can find just about every accelerated ailment in covid/vaccine reactions mentioned as sirtuin regulated; blood flow, pressure, immune surveillance, T-and-B cell activity, etc., etc., ETC.(i.e. messing about with the RAAS system)
Survival may be dependent on how well you grab your NADs!.
Selection pressure anyone??? It’s like the virus has been forced to evolve by the vaccines they jabbed in everyones arms in the middle of a pandemic isn’t it???
Lockdowns back on the menu!!
For those daft enough to accept them anyway 😉
But why in Botswana and not – say – Gibraltar? Did a jabberoid from Gibraltar take a holiday in Botswana? Or was it an emigrating ape from the Rock?
Africa have very little in the way of covid vaxxinations and the corrupt Big Pharma would love to get a foothold over there. However, Africa has done very well without vaxxines, despite 4 African presidents who were sceptical about the virus suddenly dying, those particular countries’ presidents were replaced by W.E.F approved leaders!
But this is the perfect excuse for a mass jabbing campaign there no?
see above. 4 people fully vaxed, Botswana say were ‘travellers’, others Diplomats, from where unknown.
I predicted back at the beginning of this year the next scariant would be something dark and dangerous from Africa. I have to admit its come a little later than I thought, but actually its perfect for an xmas lockdown, covid passes and mandatory vaccination in time to ‘save Christmas’.
So pleased I haven’t taken one of these now-redundant experimental gene therapies. Let’s just hope that this ‘Nu’ mutation is a milder variant and that those who catch it suffer nothing more than a mild cold as I did in September when I caught the ‘Dreaded Delta Strain’.
This could well be the variant that turns this into a pandemic of the vaccinated only, thanks to OAS.
I read an article last week or so titled ‘The unvaccinated look smarter by the day’. Almost prophetic.
Yes – will be very interesting to see how it plays out in the 2 groups – provided of course that the data is reported honestly and the players unfortunately do not have a good track record in that respect.
If I remember correctly Dr Mike Yeadon stated early on that it is the nature of these viruses to become milder as they mutate although the ability to infect is greater.
So, possibly more infectious but less dangerous except for those with compromised immune systems – i.e the previously injected.
But with this government and their commie advisors its opposite to what the real experts say, which is much worse than the last one, until its proven it isn’t.
Yeadon was talking about mutating naturally, i.e. without Original Antigenic Sin, the evolutionary pressure put on them by leaky vaccines that only target the S domain where the rate of change is 4 orders of magnitude higher than any other epitopes, as we’re seeing in ALL the variants of concern, confirming the Geert Vanden Bosh hypothesis .
Precisely why I have been taking a cocktail of Vits and Minerals for months.
Thank goodness they managed to complete COP26 in time; such a relief.
Remember late last year/early this year when we were called conspiracy theorists for predicting a constant game of Chase the Variant?
Well, it’s now the norm!
nucao Schokolade – Food for nu+ world
I hope the market crashes some more, so I can buy stocks again – worked like a charm last time.
100% agreed. Stay long equities (particularly Pelosi’s positions), don’t bet on any increase in interest rates and be “long” inflation i.e. position yourself for higher inflation.
Research the ( ex BZW) Gilt Equity survey, e.g. – ask yourself how many “‘periods” being “in the market” account for the benefit of holding Equities long term – not many and not for that long ; good luck with “guessing” when to get out and vice versa.
I’m really, really, really, not scared.
Just two words and the second one is ………Off!
We’ve all been expecting this, not because we believe the crap but because Christmas is coming and we are expecting quite a few illnesses because of the effects of the jab. So they need something to blame which will be either the unjabbed or the new invisible virus which is even deadlier than the last variant.
I’m waiting for the claim that it spreads more aggressively through those who haven’t had a vaccine so we will need to implement the ID card ASAP
Dont give them any ideas – they are getting desperate!
Except, what can Javid do? Vaccines won’t help until updated. So vaccine passports are a lost cause. Masks? Really? As if every nation be thrust into winter lockdown didn’t already have masks. Lockdown? The costs are now known to be too high.
at this point the one thing that could be done has been done: stop travel. Unlike India, where many multi-generational homes had connections, SA isn’t quite as connected, and so slowing down travel will help the most (remember Boris waiting forever to do that with India?). Aside from that there is nothing the government can do. It’s the reality of a virus too small to stop, to changeable to permanently knocked out, and too survivable to make su stop our lives.
Politicians, media and bed-wetters are what are stopping us living our lives. They need to be attacked so we can put an end to this once and for all. Bash a Covid nut today, one each!
If it’s going to spread then it will spread – travel bans will at most delay it for a week or two. What will that achieve?
Another 2 weeks salary for Javid.
Except, what can Javid do? Vaccines won’t help until updated.
Really now. Vaccines are the problem, not the solution. Shoving more toxic sludge into the arms of the gullible public, yes that sounds like a really good idea. Javid could try doing what his title as Minister of Health implies. He could promote the cheap drugs and vitamins/minerals that actually work, and toss out the worse than useless vaccines, but he won’t do any of those things. And you want us to feel sorry for the man.
stop travel only works if the whole world stops ALL travel. What is point of UK stopping travel from the affected countries if their populations can travel to, say, France and then pass it on to a French person who then travels to UK etc etc etc.
You’re right, of course, but when has that ever stopped them?
“Covid is bad. Something must be done. This is something.”
It’s more lockdowns and restrictions to coerce the still “hesitant” into taking the “poison death shots”. That’s all there is to it.
and too genetically modified to get rid of entirely ….
We’re due a new covid wave about now. This ‘scare story’ is probably the excuse TPTB are preparing to explain it (but it is coming anyway).
If there really is vaccine escape then expect this winter to get pretty bad.
The only thing that can save us now is make a huge bonfire and throw some unvaccinated into it. Clearly the new Virus God demands sacrifices.
Hopefully the unvaccinated children, because the Great Viral Lord requires it.
The Moloch variant?
“The new coronavirus variant has “many red flags – more than we would’ve expected or ever planned for”, says Sir Peter Horby, professor of emerging infectious diseases at the University of Oxford.”
I planned for about double the number it has and still reckon we should do fuck all
I would appreciate if Horby could list the “red flags.” Dickhead.
Why is Whitty saying , apparently, “no need to panic”….what does he know, how long has he known, and what is different from what he knew 23 months or so ago..??
The chickens of his big lies are coming home to roost….?
This will mean Christmas lockdown.
This will mean stories about forced vaccination.
With the experience of 18 months of this, we now know without any doubt that simple health advice, no lockdown, no mask mandate and no vaccines leads to zero excess deaths (hat tip Sweden).
So we know what to do – but will we do it?
Locked down for our own good the first moment one stupid ‘case’ is detected?
Welcome to the new Australia folks. Half the population is primed and ready to bat for the Govt.
It’s probably very wrong to say this, but I have never taken one single precaution against this “thing”. I have been close to family who tested positive, but still nothing doing. I’m as healthy as ever, yet my life has been totally destroyed. Luckily I also have cast iron bullshit immunity so never got jabbed. It’s deeply disappointing to see this new attempt to whip up fear and panic.
Same here – the only precautions we have taken is to beef up our immune systems by taking Vitamins C D zinc and quercetin, unjabbed and so far we have been absolutely fine!
Same here.
Likewise – never taken any precautions, used sanitiser about twice when really pushed (that was last year – would now refuse on principal!). Never worn a muzzle. Was out travelling on trains quite a bit to get to work sites during the second and third lockdowns.
Had some lurgy back in early Feb 2020 which might have been it – don’t know, and don’t particularly care.
Never taken a test either.
Yeah, me too, never taken a test, refuse to use sanitiser on principal as I feel it’s important to pick up whatever is around and get sick sometimes. I suspect I may have had it in Asia in January 2020 after mixing with some Chinese people (my worst cold ever) but don’t know and don’t care. We get these things sometimes, it’s just a normal and necessary part of life.
Probably had the same lurgy … same time as did Mr. T
Me too
I have no doubt there will be some sort of crisis this winter mainly because of these toxic vaxxines and the harms they have done to peoples’ innate immune systems.

Non-sterilising treatments and their hosts are variant progenitors. Epidemiology and virology 101.
Mostly on message, shame he’s a coward, surprising it’s on YT…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8mKuLWidWc
Well, look at that. Serious protests in Europe, hopefully a one million person protest in Australia and a new variant turns up just in time to ban such gatherings. Who’d have thought……
With this new ‘Botswana variant’ to which none of the current ‘vaccines’ are ‘effective’, surely this means that no-one is ‘fully vaccinated’ and no-one should be allowed to travel abroad. No-one. Everyone now must be classified as ‘not fully-vaccinated’. Even the Tesco’s Santa.
Oh dear. It’s back to parking metres on the chimney.
Does Santa deliver to South Africa?
and vaccine passports are useless and should be scrapped
It seems Sajid Javid hasn’t received his memo yet from the real government. I don’t pay much attention to him. Perhaps he is a graduate of the Tony Blair school of speaking and always makes it obvious that he is just talking crap and couldn’t care less whether it’s true or accurate or not. But he’s certainly doing it here.
Some commentary…
“One of the lessons of this pandemic has been that we must move quickly, and at the earliest possible moment.”
The suggested response is “Do it, then, you silly sod.” My other car is a Lamborghini!
Frankly his sentence is not worthy of a sensible and competent leader.
Then we have:
“We’re heading into winter and our booster programme is still ongoing, so we must act with caution.”
Yeah, sure, mustn’t welsh on the contract for vaxdose 3. Did they promise him a bonus if he could reach a certain percentage? That has long been the way GPs have been encouraged to strive for high vaccination percentages.
One could also point out that the “conclusion” in his sentence (“We must act with caution”) is banal (what government minister ever says “We must act with abandon”?) and furthermore that it doesn’t follow from either of the two premises or from their combination. But that would be to miss the wood for the trees.
File under poop, basically.
Critics who picture themselves as in a debate with government ministers or experts are rather like people who imagine themselves giving a half-time talk to a football team that’s playing in a match they are watching on TV.
But that’s just what this one joker has said. It does seem that the real thing, or stage 3 as I call it, will soon be upon us. Got to consider “evasion of vaccines by the Nu variant” together with stories about a mysteriously sunk boat (an accident waiting to happen – really? are we sure?), calls by politicians to “send them back” (migrants), and stories about ambulances stacking up outside emergency departments.
I do like the way Emmanuel Macron is telling Boris Johnson that if he wants to communicate like a proper head of government to another, he should shove his “tweets” where the Sun doesn’t shine and use a proper method of communication if he has got something grown-up to say.
Fuel shortages, where did that story go?
Pingdemic is another story that vanished. And why no news from Austria? I thought they were all told to lock themselves up – where’s the Peoples’ Revolution there?
Marvellous how they can detect the variants of a virus that has never been isolated.
I remember at the start of this some said they will carry this debacle on until people are ready to accept anything to get back to normal or their ‘New Normal’, The Politicians and their media are playing the game, keeping it in the public domain.
Welcome to UK Christmas lockdown.
No lockdown for me.
Nor me. Never have, never will.
Welcome to the annual UK Christmas lockdown.
“South Africa’s health minister has condemned the travel restrictions being imposed against the country after the discovery of a new coronavirus variant.
Speaking to reporters on Friday evening, Joe Phaahla says the introduction of travel restrictions by a number of countries against southern African nations are “completely against the norms and standards” set out by the World Health Organization (WHO).”
so that’s him dead in about 2 weeks then
Well, they should stop testing for variants and then nobody would care or notice. Just shooting yourself in the foot.
Fauci – “He goes on to say that while the reports on the new variant throw up a “red flag”, it’s possible that vaccines might still work to prevent serious illness.”
possible! might! lol! that’s me convinced, I want my first 2 shots and 2 boosters all in 1 go
More Bullshit-19.
There is a new mutation of a virus? Excuse me, but that’s what viruses do.
Is this new mutation significantly more dangerous and/or transmissible? No actual, like, you know, evidence. But let’s all panic anyway. More restrictions, more masks, more fear. More bullshit.
My loathing and contempt for the media, the medical establishment, and the government continues to expand exponentially.
I am of the same mind, straight up.
The important question as far as I’m concerned is are Johnson, Javid et al., and their alternately benign/dire prognostications for this “virus”, part of the plot or are they merely stupid, unknowing dupes of the NWO?
Got to be part of the plot – but they are stupid – and fucking evil bastards.
The worldwide response is too consistent for it to be otherwise.
The worlds population has grown by 73.4 million this year to 7.9bn people.

Why the f%$k are the media pissing themselves about this?!?!
The perfect excuse to get mandatory vaccination and covipasses in place to ‘save Christmas’ which people will gladly do as they follow the science. But they will complain, but they will accept it ‘as, anything to get back to normal’. This time after my 14th booster, it’ll definitely go back to normal…..
No worries, PCR Drosten already announced that the vaccines “probably” protect against the Nu Monster, but there is “immune escape” which means that those UNvaccinated and recovered will get sick again! These vaccines really are a miracle! And now you understand how the Nu Monster will be used by propaganda – more vaccines, no matter what.
You don’t say.
Jesus wept.
I read all the guff ATL with nothing but contempt.
They must think that we’ve already forgotten all their previous lies and mind games. I don’t believe there is a ‘variant’, and they still have not isolated the original virus, so I don’t believe in that bollocks either. Show us the damned thing exists and that it really is something different to the flu, then I might start paying a modicum of attention. Otherwise they can fuck off.
Previous scariant: runny nose, loss of taste, headache, shortness of breath, rise of tyranny
New scariant: loss of taste, shortness of breath, runny nose, headache, consolidation of tyranny
Next scariant: naked Tyranny
I’m disappointed really.
They have no imagination whatsoever.
I categorically demanded that the next scariant be called –
The BAVARIAN VARIANT.
It has the dual benefit of rolling off the tongue very easily (unless one is suffering from long covid ) – and being German.
So, lockdowns and masks and compulsory vax here we come.
May you rot in Hell you utter bastards
.
I sit by the river and watch the corpses go by.
Botswanan is quite good though: sounds like a suitably ironic locale so keeping our spirits up. I suggest the Alaskan, Easter Island, and Lunar variants are scientifically plausible also.
So bavariant in short? Too bad it’s already taken to refer to Bavaria’s prime minister.
Bawariat? Wariat being madman in Polish.
Anyone else just get an NHS text saying 8 out of 10 in hospital are unvaxxed and to get your jabs?
Fucking sickos
NuFlu is renamed…..Omnicron.
Sounds like a really shit bond villain

Sounds to me like an expensive watch. Or another version of Technicolor.
Shops will start selling special Omnicron muzzles.
A decent majority at work, particularly those who grew up in the 80s instantly thought of Transformers. There was a planet eating robot called unicron

The proposed global rollout of Vaccine Passports has nothing to do with your health. Vaccine Passports are a Trojan horse being used to create a completely new type of controlled and surveilled society in which the freedom we enjoy today will be a distant memory. It’s time to stop this plan in its tracks.
Good video. Thanks.
Just another ruse to try and increase the stab rate and get rid of the booster juice..
On trying to make this mandatory as I have said before just wait until they try and do in somewhere like Small heath or Saltley where a few of the recent,and not so recent ,bringers of Diversity and all its benefits dwell.
To quote a song” I predict a riot “
Just another thought on all this.In the “West” we have stab rates probably around 70% plus on average.In Africa its still around 5% . We still have panic and illness they have very little of either.
Now if this is the great reset is the stab all about making the “West” ill so we die off to be replaced .Coudenhove Kalergi plan on steriods anybody??
I had a really big strain earlier… it was do impressive i took a piccie
Why don’t these motherf*cker politicians worldwide just come out and say it, “We want to lock you plebs up forever and control every last aspect of your lives.” Honestly I think it would be a huge relief.
It’s much worse than you think.
There is no doubt the mRNA vaccines are causing prion diseases. People didn’t have these diseases before the shot and suddenly they develop them after the shot. There is no other explanation for this. None of the “fact checkers” can explain the cause of the excess rates. Prion diseases are incurable and always fatal. You can die as soon as 6 weeks after COVID vaccination

Dr Fleming discusses the prion like domains in the manipulated spike protein.
Got to ask but how do they test for the various variants, bearing in mind that viruses are incredible small, incredible numerous and they are very bad at replicating itself, so much so they change all the time.
Or am I being a flat earther, which I have been called.
Varianta are kinda like typos. Imagine copying a paragraph of text and there being a few typos. There’s your variant.
So if the jabs don’t work against the new variants, should you still have the jabs because of the old variants but what about the new variants that the jabs are useless against. I guess there’s always lockdowns, masks and antisocial distancing for new variants and being jabbed every few weeks for eternity. Sounds like a plan.
I’ll continue to laugh at the bedwetters and rely on my own immune system. I’m sure I’ll be called an anti vacxer, flat farther, covid idiot etc, I’m sure I’ll have the last laugh.
You need to stock up on tin foil for your hats…
Masks will stop covid – Nope.
Social distancing will stop covid – Nope.
Lockdowns will stop covid – Nope.
Clotshots will stop covid – Nope.
Vax passports will stop covid – Nope.
All conspiracy theories.
Who needs the tinfoil hat?
Don’t panic Mr Javid!! Oh ffs please spare me the hysteria.
Incredulous as any normal person must be, the sheeple of Hull and East Riding have fallen for this new threat. Comments in local online newspaper are imploring people again to mask, social distance, wash hands etc. BUT largely convinced the vax & booster will protect and save those who’ve had it but the unvaxxed are doomed. Anyone raising any concerns whatsoever on any aspect is an evil anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist. Luckily there are a growing number of sceptics highlighing the obvious and the idiocy of the bedwetters.
This has all become a macabre joke now. Who in their right minds falls for this kind of stuff?
The con artists in Westminster are trying once again to ramp the fear level up to 11. Anyone would think they have something to sell to a gullible public…
Nu is now called Omicron.
It was never called “Nu”.
The idea that it was ever called “Nu” is crimethink.
The idea that the first two lines above contain a contradiction is also crimethink.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-59438723
Like an idiot, i put the radio 4 news at 5.00 pm.
it consisted of a BBC muppet/journalist imploring the so called health minister to lock down now , while there is still a chance to save a few people.
It was sickening.
It’s very simple really. Just duplicate the Covid logic of TPTB
Sajid Javid is a politician
Politicians tell lies
Therefore ***** ***** is lying to us.
“Worst strain ever”
I don’t suppose there is any hard evidence to prove this or a definition of “worst” in this context? I mean who cares how transmissible it is, if it like a cold.
Evidence? You ask for evidence?! Evidence is irrelevant. It’s as worst as we say it is. And of course its highly transmissible, they always must be. And don’t ask for evidence, I’ve warned you.
This is the variant you should be very worried about : C.S.T.P 2.3.1.
Scientists have found a high number of mutations that if it swept through Europe it would cause complete devastation.
I’m heading for my granite cave on Dartmoor for Christmas, fully stocked for the duration.
President Biden’s message today on the Omicron variant:
What news?
He doesn’t mention Omicron’s supposedly greater ability to evade vaccines, as Sajid Javid did earlier.
Their utter desperation to vaccinate everyone is clearer by the day. Fuck them!
He’s not the sharpest pencil in the box though, is he?
He fell out of the box and under the desk ages ago!
“Excess of caution”? Excess of stupidity, more like.
Or, maybe, malevolence.
Anyone thinking of getting a third prick? Reading between the lines of this article it seems you best wait for 100 days – at least ….
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/nov/26/biontech-says-it-could-tweak-covid-vaccine-in-100-days-if-needed
I suspect they have known all along that this lab born biological weapon will kill a great percentage of the world’s population when it mutates into its full potential. but they wouldn’t tell us so as to avoid panic. So the vaccine rollout is largely just for optics, just to show they’ve done something. And of course they want to be seen to push it on children of all ages. When it comes to the crunch they can say they tried to protect all they could against this ‘natural’ virus. Also this would offer a great opportunity to purposefully pull the world to bits in the meantime, at least in time for the post virus world. They know what is coming and their plan is to provide just the right amount of panic and steering. There is something they are not telling us and the rest is hasty a.ss covering.
The virus is the least of our worries in this situation. Mutation my arse.
The opposite end of the theory spectrum is they are covering themselves because not only do the vaccines not work, they are dangerous with regard to heart inflammation, strokes and clotting. So as if by magic, a new strain emerges that is not only resistant to the vaccine but probably kills people by giving them heart attacks and strokes. How very convenient.
That is exactly what I was thinking. There must be a reason why this has suddenly become a new crisis. It gives them a way out as to why the vaccines are failing. And then they can bring out a new booster to ‘save the world’ and get people queuing up again.
My dad died suddenly on Sunday, following his booster the day before. I’m glad he didn’t live to see today’s headlines, it would have broken him. He took his jabs so he would be free, now he is.
I am so sorry to hear that.
Sorry to hear that. Regrettably I think we will hear more stories like yours.
RIP
My condolences to you and yours.
This is not caution, lockdown is not cautious, lockdown is disastrous.
This latest scariant can be shoved up the arse of Sajid Javid.
New variant came from the fully vaccinated …
.
I am waiting to gauge the reaction on mumsnet before react to this news. finger on the pulse they have.
Another who recognises that site as Covid hysteria central. “I don’t want super-spreader children walking too close to my front door; people shouldn’t go anywhere by car, the tyres churn up the virus and spread it everywhere, (seriously!), I just don’t understand why so many selfish arseholes are not wearing masks in the supermarket, it’s so easy and effective!!!!“. (I think I’ve been banned from posting there, all of a sudden a few months ago I couldn’t log in. I haven’t bothered to re-register. Let them wallow in their government-induced fear.)
Back in February I predicted to my MP that new variants would constantly be uncovered and used as an excuse to avoid a return to normal and he replied to me in a patronising tone.
I hope he loses his deposit at the next election, if we ever have another one.
This appears to be relevant http://www.songlyrics.com/les-miserables/do-you-hear-the-people-sing-lyrics/
This one as well (Muse – Uprising) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8KQmps-Sog
They test for the flu since they’ve never isolated Covid-19. Which makes me wonder how they can tell there is a delta variant. They never isolated the virus but they use a test to show the damage of a solution does on monkey kidney cells then show the cellular debris as proof of the virus. So, they can use this method to claim an UNENDING! amount of variants. A lot of cancers and “viruses” are probably just different forms of parasites. Since the tests can’t differentiate between cold and flu and covid then doesn’t that mean ivermectin cures both the cold and the flu? Welcome to “they’ve been lying to us our entire lives about everything”. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Liking the fact DS gets so many comments these days! Readership up!
Are they seriously pulling the new variant scam again? How can anyone believe this drivel any more?
And how so thoroughly convenient the timing of this is! They can blame the winter NHS crisis on the super infectious new super mutant variant and not, you know depriving people of health care for two years and sacking 60,000 care workers. Oh and the failure of the “vaccines” can be blamed on it too because it’s a super mutant variant you see, but it’s ok because the next “booster” has been tweaked to protect against the super scary mutant variant, and you’ll need to take two doses of that to keep your little compliance certificate.
The opening salvo in their winter offensive I guess.
Summed up perfectly!
To cover up the deaths and injuries from the ‘vaccines’, the new plan is to introduce a new ‘deadly’ scariant that will start killing people and blame the deaths and injuries on Omicron. And bingo, the ‘vaccines’ are not killing and injuring people at all, it is Omicron!
Here is why they have decided to call it Omicron rather than Nu:
Because Saint Boris might start quoting the now-discredited show Little Britain, which has effectively been stuffed down the Orwellian memory hole. I can just imagine him saying “Alas, we have a noooooooooooooooo variant!” (Marjorie Dawes, saying “we have a noooooooooooo member”.) He has form for dragging out vowels like that, when he said “squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze the brakes” in August 2020.
Bozo is a C#nt.
End of.
Is Bozo our De Santas? Sad as it is no one else is keeping us from tyranny.
Press lease from local Govt in Botswana, saying the variant was discovered inside the bodies of four “fully vaccinated” people.
Surprise, surprise. The ‘conspiracy theorists’ predicted that the vaccinations would spawn their own variants over a year ago.
Right again!
You know government scientists need to be sacked when conspiracy theorists are proven correct time and again.
Hahaha! They have picked the wrong country/continent for a new variant this time!
This is a great opportunity to publicise the dramatic results that ivermectin can produce.
OWID data on 26-Nov-21:
Botswana’s population is 2.4m (0.17% of all Africa.)
Covid deaths have been 6.5 times Africa’s average.
Covid cases have been 12.7 times Africa’s average.
It is not an ivermectin country.
In ivermectin countries, 92.% of lives saved.
That’s a total of 458,182 lives.
In non-ivermectin countries, the death rate is 12.5 higher.
167,485 lives could have been saved.
In ivermectin countries, 88.1% of cases removed.
That’s a total of 15,638,677 cases.
In non-ivermectin countries, the case rate is 8.4 higher.
5,716,613 cases need not have occurred.
I keep this data up-to-date but the original inspiration was from Dr Tess Lawrie and statistician Juan Chamie several months ago. All credit to them.
Excellent Mike. Thanks for your work. Keep going.
Sajid, nobody gives a sh!t any more, bored bored bored. Call it moo mu move over, the game is up now p!ss off.
That reader has misinterpreted that weforum.org article dated 12 July 2021.
All entries for that URL in the web archive.org apart from the latest on 26 November, refer to the delta variant.
The article has just been updated with details of the reported latest discovery of Omicron on 26 November, but the article date remains at 12 July.
The WHO declared coronavirus a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020
https://www.who.int/news/item/30-01-2020-statement-on-the-second-meeting-of-the-international-health-regulations-(2005)-emergency-committee-regarding-the-outbreak-of-novel-coronavirus-(2019-ncov)
666 days later …

The WHO declared the B.1.1.529 coronavirus variant as a VOC – Variant of Concern and named it Omicron on 26 November 2021.
https://www.who.int/news/item/26-11-2021-classification-of-omicron-(b.1.1.529)-sars-cov-2-variant-of-concern
“A reader got in touch to point out that the new variant, B.1.1.529, had already been identified in South Africa in July, over four months ago. So why is there a sudden panic about it now?” … there’s a sudden panic now because the World Economic Forum cabal and their principal ‘great reset’ collaborators are in a total panic. their satanic plot to impoverish, digitally enslave, and genocide humanity, using data fraud based Covid and climate policies which pretend to ‘help’ us, is failing disastrously. worldwide, people are rising up, and preparing to turn military and police to hunt down and arrest these people. the perpetrators know this, and they’re trying to create more northern hemisphere winter onset lockdown crisis. but they know their plot has failed, their time is up, and if found guilty at Nuremberg 2 of Crimes Against Humanity, they are likely to be sentenced to death by execution.
Why ‘panic’ now? Because Christmas is coming and the f**kers can’t resist playing with the weakened public’s emotions again.
Can we please have a little more healthy sceptisismc from Daily Sceptic when it comes government scare-mongering aimed at keep lockdown door ajar?
Sajid Javid is proving himself just as slippery in word and deed as his odious predecessor.
He cannot say “definitively” whether the exponential growth in reported infections in South Africa is directly associated with the new variant – because he has no idea – and neither, probably, has anyone else..
“Analysis suggests there may be many cases that haven’t been detected so far” is another example of fear-mongering waffle, designed to push us into the arms of the frankenjab millionaires.
Javid is pathetic – and so, frankly, is the Daily Sceptic for not calling him out for the pathetic propagandsist he so clearly is.
It is still a virus, to begin with and like all viruses, no matter how deadly they eventually become, as Covid, while they are still viruses they can be killed very easily with my free cure which you can find on my Twitter Blog RichardNoakes19 – the first article there, recently posted – just follow the link for a full explanation of what to do.
Richard
Why the shit with Sajid Javid, apart from his income from being a politician, it was reported that he gets an extra 150,000 Pounds annually, from lobbying (bribery), I seem to recall, so all up, he probably “earns” in the region of 500,000 Pounds a year – not so?
What is not to trust?
Novax, I think it is, have reported that they already have a vaccine for the latest variant Omicrom? How’s that – no sooner is a new variant discovered, than there is a vaccine for it – amazing.
See my free salt water cure – no argument there at least
Sigh, so what’s Nu about this B11L5H1T
variant, then? Same old tripe, same old response, sigh. Cobblers!
That’s enough now Government. You have kept this joke running long enough and we don’t find it funny any more. Not in the slightest bit amusing.
Who cares what these clowns call it? Project Fear is alive and kicking. Christmas is dangled before the sheep/ donkeys as a reason for compliance for continually toughened rules. Surely more of us/ them will wake up to this charade as time passes. Lockdown 5 is just around the corner, and of course will be a futile gesture from those in power who “care” for our well being. Manipulative cnuts.
I’m wondering if they’ll claim Vaccine Passports are the only way to avoid another lockdown?
Almost certainly, Rich!
Why do Ministers sound surprised that the Moronic (anagram) variant is evading vaccines when none of the vaccines were intended to immunise at any level? It was stated by all the manufacturers that mitigation of the symptoms was the aim.
To cover up the deaths and injuries from the ‘vaccines’, the new plan is to introduce a new ‘deadly’ scariant that will start killing people and blame the deaths and injuries on Omicron. And bingo, the ‘vaccines’ are not killing and injuring people at all, it is Omicron!
we need a quick grafitti campaign. After a while people will ask “why is moronic written everywhere?” simple and effective
If a virus encounters a host with immunity, that is likely to favour the survival of mutants which appear ‘different’ to the host, as those viruses that code for an ‘appearance’ i.e. a coating identical or similar to what the host immune system recognises are less likely to persist or prevail. It’s simple evolution, and as inevitable as changes in isolated populations like Darwin’s finches on the Galapagos.
Is it significant that it was the World Economic Forum that published this news back in July?
When will folk wake up to the gaslighting. They have sold their bodies to the globalists. These variants, lockdowns, injections will now go on and on until depopulation has been achieved and the clones will arrive.
Are WHO having a laugh? OMICRON is an anagram of MORONIC.
A perfect summary of the last 20 months
So it would seem (if the stop press is correct) that this version has been identified 4 months ago.
I suppose it’s been kept in an index file ready to bring out as required, ie, Christmas and the holidays.
….and of course its “much more transmissible”. Of course it is as it’s only taken 4 months to get this far!
And so the farce continues.
Can you imagine how awful it must be in Botswana with this new scariant on the loose?
Well, let’s have a look. 7 day average deaths are…… 0
7 day average ‘cases’ are 2.8 / 100,000, a 13 fold reduction on the case rate on the 11th Nov & 23 x lower than the current rate in the UK.
You’ve got to feel for the poor Botswanians!
can we send Neil Ferguson there on a fact finding trip
Give them a break, the last thing they need is Ferguson computer guess right now.. cases will jump to 100,000 an hour..
Stop Press 4: The Botswana authorities said the variant was found in the VACCINATED.
Stop Press 5: The new variant could have mutated 30-50 times, and still only be 1-3% different from the original.
Stop Press 6: Increased transmissibility doesn’t equate to increased severity.
Stop Press 7: Omicron is an anagram of “Moronic”. [Is that a description of the WHO, or what the WHO are calling us?]
I think Stop Press 5 was Mike Yeadon’s point. Hopefully he can confirm
“One of the lessons of this pandemic has been that we must move quickly, and at the earliest possible moment.”
Is it? Moving quickly and at the earliest possible moment got us into this s**t in the first place. There isn’t a shred of evidence that lockdowns and all the restrictions have helped and the evidence points the other way. And we won’t know the full effect of rushing out 6 new and novel vaccines for several years and it’s already looking bad.
Stop Press B.1.1.529 was discovered in July 2021. This seems to be an date error on the WEForum website. All other sources state B.1.1.529 was first sequenced 11th Nov 2021. Maybe someone can check this. 3% drop on the FTSE would be a hell of a mistake if July 2021 is correct.
Right on cue ….. to allow restrictions to be imposed during December to “save Christmas” and ramp up fear to drive acceptance of the booster jabs amongst the cautious double-jabbed, who had a bad reaction to the first two and aren’t intending to have a third.
This is my take on the Omicron, new super-scary, ‘deadly’ variant:
It may have been part of the plan that all governments are following, but I think a new ‘deadly’ scariant that ‘evades vaccines’ has been cobbled together recently because the globalists/scientists/governments have been spooked by the deaths and injuries caused by the ‘vaccines’. Of course, they’ve been covering this up with the help of the compliant MSM, but they’ve realised the truth is gradually getting out.
So, to properly cover up the deaths and injuries from the ‘vaccines’, the new plan is to introduce a new ‘deadly’ scariant that will start killing people and blame the deaths and injuries on Omicron. And bingo, the ‘vaccines’ are not killing and injuring people at all, it is Omicron!
Just wait, this will become the ‘line’ all the scientists/governments/MSM will be taking within the next few weeks.
You read it here first………….
I’m waiting with bated breath for R4 Today programme’s next interview with Neil Ferguson-Monday? Tuesday?
So here we go again. Botswana uber double jab dodging variant is in town! FFS Before you do or think anything be sure to watch and share this short video from Hugo.
https://hugotalks.com/2021/11/26/nu-variant-pandemic-of-the-jabbed-botswana-hugo-talks-lockdown/
Also defo worth reading this piece. It doesn’t feel the need to tiptoe around this bollox.
https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/11/27/only-the-fully-vaccinated-should-fear-the-new-variant/
This is sooo fucking predictable, surely the sleepy CATTLE will see through it… Maybe not!
So glad I suffer from natural immunity to this fantasy.
The last time there was a new variant (Indian, later delta) Matt Hancock was almost in tears making the announcement. There is similar hysteria over this, not least because of the possibility that vaccines may not be effective against a heavily mutated strain.
But wait a minute. Your clever reader in the Stop Press has found that this new new strain was identified in July!. That’s 4 months ago. So why a panic now? I am never a conspiracy theorist, but consider – if the boffins have actually had 4 months to work out whether current vaccines work, or don’t, they will be in a position within weeks if not days to tell us they have cracked the problem. And so quickly! Brilliant! First fear, then relief. Clever propaganda, eh? Oh – we might need another lockdown. Ah! Thank goodness, no we don’t. Sadly the truth is more likely to be that no-one was told formally so no-one has done anything. But if it has been around for 4 months I would expect more than 59 cases to justify a hypothesis that it’s more infectious than current variants..
To cover up the deaths and injuries from the ‘vaccines’, the new plan is to introduce a new ‘deadly’ scariant that will start killing people and blame the deaths and injuries on Omicron. And bingo, the ‘vaccines’ are not killing and injuring people at all, it is Omicron!
My thoughts exactly – the downticker must be a Hancock sycophant…or worse.
The alleged leaked Whitehall script. For info:
A Whitehall source directly linked to the Covid Response has said that the UK Government have already structured a detailed plan designed to neutralise each stage of Lockdown easing, including the compliance of media outlets to help with spreading the fear message.
The Whitehall source has said that he has been “increasingly concerned” with how the Government are behaving, and that their “relationship with the truth” is now not even on nodding terms. The latest plan will involve a series of ‘crisis’ around drug supply; mutant strains; and third waves, specifically choreographed to condition the public for further lockdowns and vaccine passports. The plan, that is designed to take us to September 27th 2021 is to be released in stages over the summer months and, according to the Whitehall source, is already ‘well underway’.
On March the 8th, the first milestone of the roadmap was implemented, with school children finally returning to class. The following day Chris Whitty gave a pre-written speech to the Commons that said schools reopening would cause another surge in the virus and ended it with “Let me be clear, many, many more people will die before this is over” the soundbite obligingly repeated on every news outlet, with BBC news having it on-loop all day.
On March the 29th, the second milestone of the roadmap was implemented. The Government said: The evidence shows that it is safer for people to meet outdoors rather than indoors. And this is why from 29 March, when most schools start to break up for the Easter holidays, outdoor gatherings (including in private gardens) of either 6 people (the Rule of 6) or 2 households will also be allowed, making it easier for friends and families to meet outside. The next day (March 30th) the AstraZeneca Vaccine was again stopped due to blood clots fears, despite the medicine’s regulator clearing it only the previous week. Whilst Boris Johnson repeated what he’d said the previous week that the mutated virus on the continent would inevitably “wash up on our shores”
On April 12th, the third milestone saw pub gardens, and non-essential shops reopen. Followed immediately by news of a second vaccine being halted for fear it was causing blood clots and the discovery of the South African mutation said to be able to avoid them anyway.
The next milestone is due on May 17th with the Government relaxing social contact rules further and the opening of indoor venues. This will be followed by a story that the mutation is ‘more deadly than first thought’ and that young people are now also vulnerable to it, accompanied by the result of the vaccine passport trials have shown that they have a ‘positive effect on virus reduction’.
The final milestone is due on June 21st where ALL restrictions were promised to be lifted. This will not be allowed to happen. Vaccine passports / Track and Trace will be mandatory, as will masks and social distancing. The entire week of the 21st will be taken up by a third wave, which will suddenly be ‘rampant’, and this will be attributed to the South African variant which was now officially more deadly than what we have had previously. This will be accompanied with yet more issues with vaccine supplies. One of the vaccines will be said to be effective against the SA strain, but a ‘problem’ with its manufacture will emerge.
The Whitehall source went on to say: “All the measures are aimed at two things, vaccine passports and lockdowns starting next winter” adding “The ultimate goal is to have the public, back in their box.” He went on to say: “note that Boris is now talking down vaccine’s and bigging-up lockdowns, that wasn’t a mistake by the way, that was all part of the plan”.
The plan will also include an add campaign like the one we saw at Christmas,the message this time being that the pandemic isn’t over and that vaccine passports are the new ‘solution’.
The WEF book COVID-19: The Great Reset was published just 3 months after the ‘pandemic’ was declared. Prior to 2019 the WHO changed the definition of pandemic to only include wide spread infection. The pharmaceuticals can only gain emergency authorisation of incompletely tested drugs if there is a pandemic. Bill Gates has said everyone on the planet must be vaccinated and we don’t have a choice. He has also said that vaccines has been his best investment yet. He was already the richest man on the planet before investing in vaccines. The Gates foundation is one of the main sponsors of the WHO.
unfortunately for them they have failed to account for Carrie’s need to do her Christmas shopping
But Carrie is an environmentalist, they’re immune to the 3 c’s – Criticism, cancelling and covid.
The Politicians and Pharma etc who have inflicted death , pain and terror on us for nearly 2 years, in order to back a medical product that is a failure, but which has allowed them to digitise the vast majority, now need a climb down, a get out of jail card if you like.
What better way to do that than come up with a new variant that works around the spike protein which,( ha ha ha ha) protectsed from Alpha and Delta (not), and because it has so many variants they cannot produce a vaccine and so we must learn to live with it. This way their intention is to walk away scot free, being able to claim they did all they could, this variant is too tricksy, but less dangerous, and they then believe they can go back to business as usual,
I won’t forget what they have done or what they continue to do, I hope I live to see the day when they are prosecuted and I hope that special provision is bought back for hanging for those found guilty of mass crimes against humanity.
Except i saw a headline somewhere that ‘experts’ are working round the clock to modify the existing vaccine to take care of the new variant.. So all those who have been boosted will have to have another one in December (to save Christmas). After all, they can knock these things up in a matter of days can’t they?
Mike Yeadon had plenty to say on this subject before his twitter account was hacked
Modifying an existing pharmaceutical product that itself hasn’t yet been granted full approval. So would they propose to undertake any sort of trials on the modified version to establish that it doesn’t present any added risks, over and above the risks which we already know to exist in the original formula and the risks that we don’t yet know, but suspect, to exist? I think I know the answer.
50 mutations, of a variant?
Did I miss something or does the Delta variant have numerous mutations?
Frankly, I thing someone is now just ripping the piss out the public.
Either that or this is an ‘ingenious’ means of Bill Gates selling 50 new clotshots a year. Or just one, but it’s so good it can take care of all 50 mutations, but it is 50 times the cost.
To scandalously rip off the old Paul Simon song:
“There must be 50 ways to scare your public”
Mutations from what? The very original Wuhan? Were the 50 all at once? Or is comparing with a sample Delta (with its mutations within mutations)?
Omicron – I reckon Decepticon from the Transformers multimedia franchise would be more accurate. Meme artists could have a field day with this, after they settle the inevitable argument over who best portrays lieutenant Cliffjumper lol
Apologies if already mentioned, but I was wondering why WHO, in naming the latest plague variant, have omitted two letters of the Greek alphabet and gone straight from mu to omicron. I think I know the answer …. anyone got a thought on it?
Here we go again.
I’m glad to see that GB news is at last talking about vaccine damage – at first I thought they were too scared to mention it.
It is another scariant.
‘Omicron’, otherwise known as ‘Moronic’…
They are mocking us, openly.
Article details new variant, one of 335,000+ according to HART, discovered in South Africa in July. South Africa “vaccination percentage” – two doses – barely above 40%. Herd immunity – laughingly attributed by some politicians/Health quango CMO, COOs as acheivable via jab directed at S1 spike protein of Alpha variant – a mendacious strategy and impossible by definition and the small fact of SARS COV2’s GMO, GoF bat/rat constituents are “animal reservoir” viruses (I acknowledge that SARS COV2 is a chimera).
Infection incidence significantly lower than UK; recovered as a percentage of “infections” a very high percentage , better than UK. Daily “cases” peaked circa July 3rd.
Total cases, logarithmic scale, flat, repeat flat since…..early July. Not certain of travel restrictions in and out of SA since July , may be someone can bail that. ( Source Worldmeter etc )
So the comments regarding the – excessively high against the norm? – spike protein mutations need to be seen in this light. If Omicron is more transmissible and more infectious ……where is it so? Could it possibly be that this mutant variation has been circulating for 4 months, enough time to do the rounds among 25 million people (?), is more transmissable, more virulent but less potent, and in a country where ~15 million people are unvaccinated, a far proportion have acquired it and recovered ( viz. the recovered percentage above…very high)
Then I see the “article” removes the date of discovery from the November 2021 update – that made me ponder just a bit.
Then I realise the article is from the WEF, we are in winter, you can smell the stench of panic in the corridors of power, and may be “Zero CV19” IS still on the agenda, or is it a case that these stench emitting bastards cannot admit they have “got it catastrophically wrong”, they are all in so deep, there is no evident face saving ready made “patsy” so the philosophy of “King Canute” reigns supreme. The mantra “lockdowns” work was never right, caused harms off the scale, of unknown duration, killed thousands more than the virus….and the legacy of untreated citizens is evident daily.
Lets wait for the Nudge Unit Sonderkommandos to spring into genocidal action…and remember this might be just another scare propaganda meme ( without playing down the potential bad effect on vulnerable people in SA and elsewhere ) ?
Whoopy Do! More of the same scaremongering hype we have been subjected to for nearly 2 years. I will ignore this one as I did with the other variants of concern and get on with my life.
Yes great idea, move early. How about early treatments to prevent hospitalisation and death. Ivermectin, and so many other meds being used by so many doctors. Early treatment, “move early” mr Javid.
Letter in DT ( which, ahem , I buy for the Sport, Crosswords and letters so I can donate the other pages to a home for resettling Hedgehogs):
“Sir, Just as we had appeared be breaking the back of Covid a new, potentially more deadly, variant has been identified in South Africa. It may be too late and this variant may be on the march.
This incident once again highlights the urgent requirement for national and global pathogen early-warning systems.
An early-warning system for Britain would pick up this variant entering the country and allow isolation , to prevent spread. A global system might have identified the so-called African variant some weeks ago and isolated it in its country, while Britain and other countries put up the shutters to prevent ingress.
The technology to make this system work is being developed in Britain and the Prime Minister should not wait until the middle of next year to work out how to prevent pandemics dominating the globe for the foreseeable future.
To use a bomb disposal expression, we need to get to the left of the bang”
Well, we still live in free country, sort of, and we are all free to express our opinions and pass on our knowledge. In any other circumstance the comments above would pass into space, and may illicit a fair number of replies from supportive, through “fact checking” to scathing and very rude.
But it is bloody scary that the author might be directing some aspects of Government policy relating to SARS COV2/pandemic response measures etc. bloody scary when you read the author is :
Hamish be Bretton-Gordon, Biosecurity Fellow, Magdelene College Cambridge.
Still cannot make up my mind if this is a very funny spoof; if not …very bloody scary and I feel for those under his tutelage. Variant discovered in South Africa in April, present in Europe; South Africa not seen increase in infections…..why does he not know this?
Israeli’s have been war gaming a supposed deadly Omega variant.. keep a very close I think.
https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/coronavirus/israel-successfully-completes-covid-19-war-games-684719
Thank you , I will take some time to read that. I am not a conspiracy theorist but is becoming ever harder to ignore the widening scope of malign “influencers”.
I wish we had an equivalent of ICAN/The Highwire to hold these ……redacted……to the flame.
I realise “lockdown” = (potentially) “more pathogenic variant” as much as the greater the % “jabbed” with these EUA drugs has no effect on stopping infection…what an unholy alliance.
“Variant discovered in South Africa in April” erratum……”…in July”
But maybe, November 2021 and not July 2021….who knows the truth?
omicron is an anagram of moronic
Some would say this is purely coincdental. I say it is carefully calculated and the PTP are having a glorious laugh at the moronic true beleivers.
Priceless
Omicron as a virus name sounds more scary than mu, nu or pi. Sigma and tau will perhaps be deemed scary. Upsilon no. Phi and chi no. Psi and omega sound as though they will be deemed scary… The omega variant will surely be a government and journalist dream virus.
More nonsense from the Peppa Pig junta.
