Evolution
By Mitch Berg
Theory: As mutation-prone viruses evolve, natural selection favors strains that are more contagious, and less lethal to their hosts.
It’s basic natural selection. Dead hosts = viruses that reproduce less,.
Evidence?
While it’s early, there have so far been no confirmed deaths attributed to Omicron, according to those Anti-Vaxxer tools, the WHO and the Guardian.
Of course, we don’t get that until paragraph six – but we get it.
Fearless prediction: Omicron will be more contagious than Delta, and less lethal.
Pi, Rho and Sigma will be more contagious still – and the death rates per case will drop.
By the time we get near Psi and Omega, it’ll be nearly as contagious as the common flu, and about as deadly.
And Karen will need to find another purpose in life.

Television news had a clip of the first Minnesotan to be officially diagnosed with the moronic virus variant. A 30 something male, visited an anime convention in New York City, came home and was tired for a couple of days. Extremely mild symptoms. Yes, he was fully vaccinated, which is why his symptoms were so mild. Of course, for almost all 30 year old males in good health, your symptoms would be extremely mild if you were Not vaccinated. But hey, let’s not let the facts get in the way of the messaging.

No confirmed hospitalizations from omicron among otherwise healthy people, either.
If it conveys immunity to other strains, the pandemic is over.
Walensky told congress in early Novemeber that acquired immunity from getting covid was not well studied, but immunity from the vax was well studied.
What? It’s kind of an imprtatnt thing to know, isn’t it? It could change the entire approach to covid by government and business.

Oh, you guys with your faith-healing and Facebook research. Don’t you ever get tired of being proven more and more correct every day?

Good thing they didn’t name it Xi the way it was supposed to be. That sucker would have been deadly. Thank you WHO!

This is misinformation! The moronic mutation is having devastating effects on the morons living in NYC.
The moronic variant turns normal morons into bots .

I read the article. The guy said he did “everything in his power” to avoid getting the virus – two jabs and a booster – but still got it. He encourages everyone to get vaccinated, though.

I watched DeBlasio give his mandatory vax speesh. By the tone of his voice and his demeanor you get the impression that he hates New York City. He acts like a prison warden who got his job because his cousin is the governor.

Vaccination for the unvaccinated. This is how pandemics end. Omicron signals the end of COVID19 as a public health threat. Time to move on.
December 7th, 2021 at 10:46 am
Really, Emery?!
Please explain how many millions of vaccinated people are still getting the WuFlu. (Side note: it’s OK to call it the WuFlu, because Dr. Anthony Mengele Fauci, called it the Wuhan virus last week. It’s very funny that the entire complement of fully jabbed passengers and crew on a Norwegian Caribbean Cruises ship, came down with it. Connect the dots and above all, ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY!

“This is how pandemics end.” No, it isn’t, not at any time in history. Scientifically, pandemics end when the vulnerable population dies and the disease runs out of hosts to kill. After that, people carry around the disease but ignore it because it doesn’t affect their daily lives anymore. Scientifically, vaccination has nothing to do with ending this pandemic.
Mind you, I’m not anti-vaccination in general. I think mandatory vaccines are a societal good even though I know some kids will be harmed by them. I fully agree with the idea of a National Vaccine Injury Compensation Fund to pay the expenses of children harmed by mandatory vaccinations (althouth I’d like to see the administration of some vaccines delayed until the kids are older to avoid overloading their tiny bodies).
I stood in line in the gym like all the other kids, got the shot in the arm, lived to tell about it. But think back to your school days – how many breakthrough cases of polio do you remember? How many fully vaccinated kids died of measles? None. And why is that?
Measles vaccination = immune
Whooping Cough vaccination = immune
Covid vaccine
Polio vaccine = immune
Diptheria vaccine = immune
One of these things is not like the others. Can you find the one that’s different?
Covid is not a ‘vaccine’ in the traditional sense because it does not confer immunity (we know this because that’s what ‘breakthrough case’ means – a fully vaccinated person was not immune to the disease).
The Covid ‘vaccine’ is something that might help reduce your symptoms, like vitamin C or zinc or hot chicken soup. For people who are already at low risk of serious illness or death it’s at best waste of time and money, at worst an active risk of adverse reaction and long-term complication. It’s like the flu shot: getting the flu shot doesn’t mean you won’t get the flu.
The Covid ‘vaccine’ does not stop people from catching Covid or from spreading Covid. If everybody in the world got the ‘vaccine,’ there still would be breakthrough cases. Vaccination won’t end the pandemic.
You said it yourself, E – all pandemics are political in nature. The pandemic will end when the politicians can no longer generate enough fear in the population to support their agenda. We’re already seeing it in Sweden, in Florida, in sub-Saharan Africa, in parts of India, where Covid case counts are minimal and the population has moved on from fear to resume normal life.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

For most bacteria and virii, yes, vaccination is primarily for the unvaccinated–it stops because a person is not less likely to get it, but less likely to transmit it–but it does seem that the evidence for “reduced transmission for the vaccinated” is far weaker at this point for the ‘ronavaccines than for ordinary vaccines. I got my jab & my booster, but I’m really working on faith more than on evidence. Just like Fauci, by the way.
Still waiting, by the way, for anyone at the NIH or CDC to say “boo” about the pattern of sending COVID patients into nursing homes to recuperate, or to raise righteous H*** about the Biden administration sending millions of unvaccinated illegals into the country to work in places like restaurants. If you think that doesn’t affect infection rates, I’ve got a bridge to sell you for cheap.

Omicron hysteria. The world should have learned from it’s short history with Covid, there’ll be more variants that will come along. However, so far the data being released is encouraging. If this continues, it’s quite possible that we will have reached a middle point in our battle with Covid-19. For now, we will simply have to live with it while we try and get it under control.

My favorite Emery is the one that pretends that nothing he’s stated about some topic ever happened. All is forgotten, right?
I will admit tho’ that it is a handy gauge as to what the Oligarchy thinks.

In WSJ CEO Council interview, Pfizer CEO
Albert Albert Bourla is asked if Omicron is more transmissible but milder, if that’s a good thing?
Bourla: “No. Something that spreads fast means it will be in billions of people and another mutation could arise.”

The left needs this “dempanic” to last until next year, for two reasons.
1. Run on “maga” anti vaxxers.
2. Mail in inly voting for “ballot harvesting”
If they had to run on their records and policies, with no fraud, it will be an historic landslide.

^ I wouldn’t waste time taking the unvaccinated to the hospital. They need top medical experts — they need to be taken to the comments section….

A video of Dr. Ugur Sahin, the CEO of BioNTech stating that he won’t take a jab if his company’s own poison, for, get this; “SAFETY REASONS”. This follows right in line with employees of both Pfizer and BioNTech not having to be jabbed. People need to wake the hell up!
December 7th, 2021 at 2:08 pm
RE: the Pfizer guy, I wasn’t aware that mutations depended on infections. I thought they occurred spontaneously and independently.
Can somebody cite an example of a virus that mutated into something worse because it was already widespread? Or is he fearmongering to prop up sales?
December 7th, 2021 at 5:19 pm
“Bourla: “No. Something that spreads fast means it will be in billions of people and another mutation could arise.””
That is some bat shit crazy, right there out in the open.
The people who have been wrong about everything related to covid and the vaccines want you to pay attention to them.
Lol.
December 7th, 2021 at 6:41 pm
Joe, all, I think it is true that if you want to see more mutations, it’s random, but times the number of people that host the virus. So theoretically, a billion cases of COVID are more likely to generate mutations than a “mere” million, and there is some likelihood that with a larger number of mutations, we would be more likely to get a dangerous one.
That’s balanced with the reality that if you start with a virus that’s tuned to the “sweet spot” for killing people, the mutation is likely to be less dangerous because it’s strongly likely to move out of the sweet spot. So I’m still nervous, but hopeful here.
My daughter’s father-in-law, a pathologist at Mayo, is pretty much waiting for the whole thing to become endemic. Long term headache, but moving out of the sweet spot.

Well, the dreaded “delta variant” seems to have evolved to get around the vaxxes. Do not underestimate the ability of Big Pharm and “public health experts” to f*ck things up.
You know how you can tell that the “public health experts” (including the CDC) are hopelessly incompetent and/or corrupt?
We know that a large percentage of people with covid who are hospitalized are completely vaxxed/ How many of these also had natural immunity from an earlier covid infection?
We don’t know. They aren’t keeping track.
So it is possible that ALL the vaxxed admitted to the hospital for covid had no natural immunity, and ALL the people who had vax + natural immunity never tested positive for covid or never had to to be admitted to the hospital.
We don’t know.
What a bunch of f*ckin’ idiots.

C’mon MP! You should know that we cannot know what we do not know!

The newspaper of record, the Babylon Bee, reports that men around the nation are panicking because the symptoms of Omicron are akin to a mild cold, and their wives are biding their time and passing plates of nachos under the man cave door to sustain them.
