Thanks very much for the link, Igor -- I'd not seen it.
Anyway, It is very much worse than you've suggested. Hospitalisation takes about 5-7 days following infection (I think it is possibly longer for the vaccinated, but we'll stick with about a week for now).
Thus the number hospitalised (37) should be compared with the number of Omicron cases 5-7 days ago -- this was 171-703... That' makes 5-20%...
Now, I'd assume (frankly, I hope) that actually there were rather more cases and it was just that they weren't so good at identifying Omicron at that point... But it really doesn't look too good right now.
It also looks like Omicron has achieved near complete vaccine escape. (it actually looks like there are more vaccinated-infected than you'd expect given the %age vaccinated in the population).
Right. I spent the last 1.5 hours driving to visit a certain customer, and thinking exactly the same thoughts. The "other variants" does not need time lag adjustment because it is a history over a long period.
The Omicron numbers definitely do need time lag adjustment, because it is a rising wave and a new phenomenon. If hospitalization rate fo r"other variants" in Denmark is only 0.7% (I find it very hard to believe by the way), and hospitalization rate of Omicron is 10-12%, this portends a very scary future.
I need to do more confirming or disconfirming before sounding alarm, though. Their prior hospitalization numbers seem to be way too low?
A hospitalisation rate of 0.7% for Delta seems about right to me (actually, it seems a bit high -- this probably reflects a good %age of people not bothering to get tested if symptoms are very mild).
10% hospitalisation for Omicron seems too high. I imagine that this is due to under testing because people don't associate their symptoms with covid and so don't get tested (the symptoms are somewhat different).
Nevertheless, I'd suggest that it isn't going to be 10x too high. I'm very concerned that the hospitalisation rate is rather significant (maybe 2-3%) and will cause problems. I'm also very concerned about the relative incidence of hospitalisation in vaccinated vs unvaccinated; I very much hope that we're not seeing a significant level of ADE here.
I am suspicious of all numbers I saw in that table. The other variant hospitalization rate seems low. Denmark had 560k cases and 3k deaths, making for 0.5% death rate. And hospitalization rate is only 0.7%?
The Omicron number is probably truthful, but needs to be adjusted for a week time lag.Then it becomes 2.6%, if you divide 14 hospitalizations by cases up to Dec 5.
Hopefully another week will give us larger data sets for UK and Denmark.
Perhaps the high Omicron hospitalization rate is really high hospitalizations due to events from the boosters people have been running to get, with incidental Omicron?
You should be suspicious of ALL of these numbers for the many reasons I've conveyed in our previous discussions. The apparent accuracy of these data is extremely misleading and based in large part on spurious and artifactual definitions and policies.
Yes. I agree with you. We are living in a strange world. The only true thing is that Fauci is the God of science. Everything else changes daily. 87.62% of all Covid statistics is made up.
Not to mention the hideously untrustworthy nature of PCR mass testing.
Nothing derived from such test uhh can be relied upon because they refuse to include proper controls & the facilities in which samples are processed renders micro cross contamination inevitable.
I think those numbers are only from 11/22 to 12/10, though. So for Delta, it's also probably too soon to calculate the actual hospitalization rate for that entire period. You'd have to do the same comparison you did for Omicron - how many Delta cases were there 1-2 weeks before 12/10?
and a bit more than that. get the whole flccc.net imask protocol or whatever and read and understand when to use what and why.
Then check with your hospital and find out if you can what treatments they propose to give you if you get hospitalised. They could kill you, you know. Or make you suffer anything from mild inconvenience to agonies.
My hospital will not tell me. I'm in Jackboot Australia. And my Dept of Health will not even acknowledge my enquiries. Not very confidence building. Not very therapeutic.
I'm doing what I can about that in my case and I'd suggest anyone/everyone should.
I appreciate hearing what seems to be a contrarian view on Omicron. Love the fact that, with substacks, we are having a real discussion about this. This is what science and rational discussion looks like. Multiple interpretations subjected to analysis by many minds.
Right! We are not trying to shut each other down. We all present our opinions and facts. Time will sort out who is right. Meanwhile we can all have fun deciphering clues and wading through official deception.
Yes, that's the best of it. Data are not abs conclusive and this merits a fair discussion. Either way it turns out to be, mild or ADE or both, your opinion is more than a valid hypothesis. Thank you!
Data from SA from last two days, in terms of declining positivity rate and declining hospitalization rates, are quite encouraging that the so-called Omicron wave is already petering out. Stay tuned. Similar dynamics may well unfound in UK and other countries. Agree with you that BJ's "boost them all" approach is sheer idiocy. In US, the FDA's advisory panel voted in Sept. 16-2 against boosters for under 65s and yet FDA went ahead and approved anyway! Can we all say together "regulatory capture"?
Here's another. I posted it to Fakebook...or rather, I tried to post it to Fakebook. It was flagged immediately for violating their community standards for nudity or sexual content. Not kidding. I've been placed in Fakebook jail for seven days. They're shameless...and they have no sense of humor.
I posted another data analysis article in November, and Fakebook flagged it for the same violation and put me in jail for a week. I've got the receipts. It's a joke. They don't have the guts to say...we're not gonna let you post this 'cause we don't want people to know about it...they mislabel a post as smut and give you no recourse. They really, really suck.
At Thanksgiving my vaxxed nephew gave my unvaxxed eldest son covid. Then tried to blame my son. Nephew's girl got boosted that week, poor simple thing, and immediately got covid after having a few days of bad side effects from the booster. Son's vaxxed girl wanted nothing to do with him when he tested positive, so he came home at our insistence to recuperate with us, his unvaxxed parents who'd had covid. Three days of horse paste, etc and he was pretty much done with it.
Meanwhile the cowering vaxholes (you may opt for the vaccines and still not be a vaxhole but ..) were laughing at ivermectin and saying: we'll stick with the vaccines, they work about as well as the flu vaccines.
I think I see a parting of mankind into two groups unless we learn to talk to each other. I suggested that ivermectin and vaccines are not mutually exclusive. No reply.
Yeah. I am fortunate to have a nice habitable basement in my house, this is where I was isolating. I was taking daily walks when I had Covid though. All masked
I can't help thinking of how we took care of each other when flu hit. Maybe the best thing is do the same with this virus and take what comes. Assuming you have some early treatment plans and meds.
We don't have a basement, I wasn't going to the crawl space, and infected my husband ASAP. For us it worked. But then neither had any serious comorbidities.
Still, if you've ever been clobbered by flu, you know no one should be left alone to fight it. It's inhumane, and dangerous.
I don't know about you or I or anyone else, whether they should 'take what comes' but the human race has to take what comes, like it or not. We live in a sea of bacteria and virus and interact constantly with it. We ARE mainly bacteria and virus - more of them than human cells And even the origin of the eucharyotic cell is viral/bacterial.
Find ways to avoid the pain, the bad effects, okay, good thing. But to think the human race is going to avoid this reality? Madness of the first order. Complete misunderstanding of reality. Comic book simplicity.
That's why we talk of 'robots', claiming that govts want to make 'robots' of us. Because if not vitally enmeshed in this viral/bacterial sea we're not human any more at all.
There are those who do not want to be human.
They would contemplate being transplanted brains in a mechanical structure with equanimity.
I wouldn't. Makes interesting sci-fi reading but it's not a future I would opt for.
I don't know if it could be done. Where would the next generation come from? Artificially grown in petri dishes?
Sci fi. Gets horrible to think about it.
Bottom line: we have to take what comes. Have to. As a race. Must.
'we'll stick with the vaccines, they work about as well as the flu vaccines' (which don't work either .. but trying to go there would be a bridge too far)
This is why it will be very gratifying should the vaxholes drop like flies at some point.
Consider that big shot of endorphin that is released when you read a story (or better still see a video!) involving a damaged vaxhole. It's like a big haul up the left nostril of High Grade Bolivian Blow (at the source)....
Pretty good huh?
Now fast forward and you are walking down the street. Let's say you are in Hong Kong at the Causeway Bay cross walk in front of Sogo ...probably the busiest cross walk in the world.
The light turns green and the horde of CovIDIOTS head into the street then Suddenly! - hundreds of them fall to the pavement... slither around a bit ... then expire.
That be more like a giant hit of crack cocaine (Pure Bolivian...) - I've never tried that but I understand it's so enervating that you nearly pass out... pure bliss.... perhaps you cut it with some Pure Burmese heroin... never tried that either but I am sure that's good ... did smoke a bit of opium in Laos once ... just to try... that was pretty good... but I digress...
Pure Burma + Bolivia = Nirvana. Therefore CovIDIOTS dying like flies = Nirvana.
This is why I find endless amusement when I read about Hyper CovIDIOTS getting wrecked after taking the vaccine. Remember -- a great number of those people are the ones that were mocking the unvaxxed
Thanks, Igor. Great report. Please keep going as you are. You are the clearest of writers. At this point, writing for the masses has no point. The saved need no saving but a sense of shared community, and even minutes of reading the popular Tweeter comments show how gone most of the world is in its ignorance of what’s going on. Your checking and rechecking data is appreciated.
You're right. But it would be useful if all our writing, all our knowledge, were somewhere somehow ordered, indexed, accessible so's we could resort to it , extract what's required and then fire it as a 'bullet' at a susceptible member or group of the masses. Or of those who're indoctrinating/misleading the masses.
Take my example, my own self - if I want to contradict some 'masses' belief about this or that I often find myself hunting through my saved links - maybe as many as 500 now - and often not finding exactly what I want.
So I'm working on it but it'd be nice if it were done for me and if I could feel I'm not reinventing the wheel.
And I come up with questions and I don't know where to put them. Best I can think of is to find a comments column such as this and stick in in there and hope some random reader may have enough interest to supply the answer if they have it or a link to where I might find it.
A venue deliberately designed for that would be good. But I don't know of one.
I have been Dreaming of a good indexing system for awhile. If you come up with any good ideas I will be very happy to hear about that. I just use my email inbox and subject lines for tracking interesting finds. Google Drive is a good thing with public folders. The topics and themes levels are super interesting to discuss. Umberto Eco has a good (boring lol) book on lists. Lists have been the eternal human preoccupation.
This article was truly amazing. Where has substack been all my life. I am sharing this far and wide. I agree with so many points here. This is what discussion and analysis should be about. Thank you thank you. There are good people out there that care about what is happening and are giving up their lives to work really hard to create this body of work and share it to us. I’m a health professional for almost 30 years and have 3 science degrees and I read this twice it’s so good.
"Variants" are just ways of laundering illnesses and deaths caused by the "vaccines" aka genetic poison clot shots, just like "COVID" was a way of laundering deaths from all other causes (flu, beetus, afib, ladder falls, motorcycle accidents, old age, etc.).
That is why "delta" showed up in the first wave of the clot shot and "omigod" showed up during the rollout of boosters.
Saying that there is "a several week period when they are uniquely vulnerable to infection" is beyond naive - that is merely the period where most of the adverse events from the clot shot occur.
I think what's probably going on is that inherently faulty tests, decision to test asymptomatic people, extremely inclusive definitions of "case," "hospitalization," and "Covid death," plus impact of lockdown policies, led to ~90% of the harm from "the virus" (but it mostly wasn't the virus at all), pre-vaccine, and I think you're probably right that now most of the harm is being done by the vaccines themselves, but we need more data to make that latter case. If we're right it will be a classic case of Western medicine over-diagnosis and then creating a treatment for that over-diagnosis that makes the problem even worse. The very sad and dangerous aspect of our current path is that we seem to be headed toward catastrophic vaccine/booster hell in a way that will ensure years more of this ongoing nightmare in Western nations and eventually also in non-Western nations as they adopt the absurd policies being pushed by Western nations and WHO.
Trinidad and Tobago showed strong correlation with rollouts of vaccine and massive increase in death rates, AND also a winter spike which I'm assuming correlates with a new push for vaccinations and/or boosters (but don't know for sure). Scroll down to deaths: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/trinidad-and-tobago
There's a known drop in white blood cells also with other vaccines, and people are getting not just AEs from the shots such as blood clots, heart attacks, aggressive cancers etc. but also viruses such as Covid, shingles, and other dormant viruses reactivating.
I suspect this is not stupidity .. or group think... it does appear that they are hell bent on exterminating humans (but then we are running out of cheap energy so that is actually the right thing to do)
Once upon a time I suggested to someone that the people who own the Fed run the world -- and that the Deep State + politicians are their minions.. and have no real power.
The person thought that was ridiculous saying how can it be possible for a small group of people to control everything?
I responded with -- look at any major corporation - some have hundreds of thousands of employees... yet the board calls the shots and everyone from the CEO down to the janitors do what they are told - if they dont they get replaced.
It's no different that training a dog - instead of treats you pay people.
Then I left with this thought --- monarchies controlled enormous empires... a small group of people were behind those empires... look at the English .. they didn't control the entire world ... only about half.
So yes - a small group can exert great power. I like to refer to the men who control the world as The Elders
Zero chance it is intentional. It's a bunch of terrified and incompetent leaders handcuffed by political correctness making panic-induced irrational decisions.

THE PERFECT STORM : The economy is a surplus energy equation, not a monetary one, and growth in output (and in the global population) since the Industrial Revolution has resulted from the harnessing of ever-greater quantities of energy. But the critical relationship between energy production and the energy cost of extraction is now deteriorating so rapidly that the economy as we have known it for more than two centuries is beginning to unravel https://ftalphaville-cdn.ft.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Perfect-Storm-LR.pdf
“The global economy was facing the worst collapse since the second world war as coronavirus began to strike in March, well before the height of the crisis, according to the latest Brookings-FT tracking index. “The index comes as the IMF prepares to hold virtual spring meetings this week, when it will release forecasts showing the deepest contraction for the global economy since the 1930s great depression. https://www.ft.com/content/9ac5eb8e-4167-4a54-9b39-dab48c29ac6c
Oil Gluts – do NOT indicate we have found more oil. We just pumped what’s left too fast.
Summary In 2019 a second Perfect Storm was approaching – the central banks had been doing ‘whatever it takes’ for over a decade…. Essentially nothing was off the table --- throw the kitchen sink at pushing GFC2.0 into the future. In 2019 the guns were blazing but the beast was no longer held at bay…
What do you do when you are burning far more oil than you discover --- and your efforts to offset the impact of expensive to produce oil push you to the edge of the cliff? You can accept your fate and allow the beast to shove you into the abyss…. Or you can take the ‘nuclear option’ and shut down as much of the economy as possible, preserve remaining oil and pump in trillions of dollars of life support to keep the system feebly alive.
Punchline: The problem global leaders face is that if you unleash the nuclear option without some sort of cover, the sheeple and the markets would be thrown into a panic and you risk blowing things up prematurely. So you need a reason for putting the global economy on ice --- one that does not spook the masses – one that is big enough to justify such epic amounts of stimulus and extreme policies --- and one that allows you to explain ‘this is just temporary – once this is gone --- we will get back to normal’
A pandemic is the perfect cover.
End Game – Covid was foisted on us as cover for the response to peak oil (if we don’t slow the burn oil prices go through the roof and we collapse) but it is also being used to convince billions to be Injected. The Injection is meant to cause extremely deadly variants similar to Marek’s this .. only worse because we are deploying into a pandemic https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/tthis-chicken-vaccine-makes-virus-dangerous.
“Mass infection prevention and mass vaccination with leaky Covid-19 vaccines in the midst of the pandemic can only breed highly infectious variants.” https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/
French virologist and Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier called mass vaccination against the coronavirus during the pandemic “unthinkable” and a historical blunder that is “creating the variants” and leading to deaths from the disease.
The Vaccines and Boosters will Result in a Catastrophic Outcome - From a scientific viewpoint it is, therefore, difficult to understand how booster immunizations using vaccines which are not evolution-proof could prevent a highly mutable virus from escaping neutralizing anti-S Abs while driving the pandemic in a catastrophic direction, both in Israel and worldwide. How can the WHO stand by and watch as this additional experiment unfolds, soon to be followed by other countries? https://thehighwire.com/videos/vaccine-expert-warns-of-covid-vaccination-catastrophe/
The reason for this is that 8B people need cheap oil to live. They would starve without it. And 8B people without food would result in epic starvation, violence, rape and cannibalism. Industrial civilization ends soon after peak oil. Unfortunately we also have 4000 spent fuel ponds that will boil off and release toxic substances for centuries. These facilities cannot be controlled with computers and energy. So even the few remaining hunters and gatherer tribes will die as they consume these toxins in the food, air and water.

There is a risk with relying on the data from SA suggesting that Omicron is less likely to result in serious disease -- they've got high levels of natural immunity (not vaccine), are younger, and, IMO most importantly of all, they're in the middle of summer which is when upper respiratory tract infections are generally mild. This latter point is almost certainly why we in the UK (and Europe in general) have had a relatively low number of hospitalisations/deaths since vaccination started. This is probably linked with vitamin D levels, but that's a moot point because people aren't being advised by national authorities to take high levels of vitD.
It could be mild for young unvaxxed people with high vitamin D levels, but bad news for old overweight vaxxed people with low vitamin D levels. It might be explicitly targeting an elderly vaxxed population.
It is worth pointing out that one of the other places where ADE was found is with many of the candidate vaccines for SARS-COV-1. Eg, see Yang et al, 2005, which used viral a vector vaccine approach (https://www.pnas.org/content/102/3/797). Of course, these were in animals and we don't know whether we'd have seen the enhanced disease if the vaccine candidate was used in humans for SARS-COV-1... but then that's the point of doing rigorous early stage trials -- it would be mad to try out these candidate vaccines on a large scale in humans before fully identifying risks that might emerge perhaps 12 months after vaccination.
ADE also explains why old people have been more susceptible to bad outcomes from covid. It can occur from exposure over a lifetime to natural coronaviruses, not just from these filthy shots.
The evidence thus far, objectively speaking, is that in the real world, boosters appear at best to be totally ineffective against omicron. (Unless there is somehow a demographic of unvaccinated or twice-vaccinated people with severe disease from omicron that is escaping detection. Unlikely.)
These political leaders remind me of that driver who wants to avoid sitting in traffic. Moving, he reasons, is better than not moving, and so he takes a long and circuitous detour, quadrupling the duration of his trip. My fear is that they may just end up crashing us all into a tree before we can even reach our final destination.
I think the whole narrative is wrong. they keep it about vaxxes and even yourself and myself our selves fall into line with it and discuss vaxes.
But vaxes themselves are not about vaxes.
Immune System is what it is all about.
When a vax 'works' it prompted an immune system into efficient performance: more than to be expected otherwise.
When a vax 'doesn't work' it failed to do the above.
When a vax performs below 'par' then it has harmed the immune system.
When a vax does anything it does it with an Immune System.
Without an Immune System: nothing.
Without a vax: everything remains.
So it should never be : 'nix the omi vax etc.' it should be 'leave the immune system alone' and so on. Shift the focus. Remember the point.
And when 'working' the vax is pushing the immune system - common sense would seem to be to consider what else we can do for the immune system to help out at that time - would it not?
But this is never, never, never, ever mentioned, promoted, contemplated.
Never, ever.
When discussing that hotbed of vaccine insanity, Israel it is all talk of the vaccines, this one, that one, and boosters, this one, that one... but the 'patient' is the immune system in question and it should be all about it: 'Here is an immune system prejudiced by 70 years of life and these comorbidities, crippled in recent times by being denied normal sustenance such as sunshine and the company of friends and relatives and aggravated by psychological turmoil... '
Yep, it's implied in the stats, broken into age groups etc...
But the focus, the emphasis, the whole discussion is about the vaxes.
which misses the point entirely.
How are we ever to succeed in this 'war' when we refuse to consider the main point: the actual army that does the fighting - the Immune System?
When Pfizer's first report came out and revealed their vaunted 95% protection actually meant a 0.1% improvement on the Immune System's normal performance there was never any discussion anywhere that I ever saw on how that 0.1% might have been gained by other means.
Not even right there in Dr Chris Martensen's Youtube vid which is where I first saw it.
But in a world of overweight people, sugar overloaded diabetic people, sedentary couch potatoes etc.. figures corrected for those things may well have revealed that without being handicapped by them our immune systems would have crapped all over that 0.1% gain and made twice, three time, four times it.
And in a world concentrating on helping the Immune system Ivermectin and HCQ would be seen as sensible and useful and even necessary adjuncts. Where in a world of vaxes they were not seen at all in general - your typical human talking vaxes gives not the smallest shred of thought to immune system adjuncts, enhancement etc - except when big pharma saw the letters of the Law which said they couldn't use this unproven thing without emergency power which they couldn't have while ever other treatments existed.
And thus was born with minimal caesarean difficulty probably the greatest deliberate medical fraud leading to the world's greatest ever murderous annihilation.
$ and Vaxes the whole of the narrative.
Immune Systems and people and health the whole of the truth.
I expect that they are secretly working on the new Omicron version but will tell everyone to get the old version right up to the day when they new version is available, at which point "hey everyone you need another two shots ASAP". Prediction is easy when you assume malice AND stupidity. If the goal is to jab everyone as much as possible that is the way to play it.
I’m afraid you can be right, so we should be prepared with all the early treatment options at hand: high levels of vitamin D, C and Zinc, quercetin, ivm, fvm, aspirin, budesonide inhaler, xylitol and xylitol/povidone nasal sprays, manuka honey and black cumin oil …
A year ago, I used Vitamin D3 (a lot in the first few days), C, zinc, and two baby aspirins for the first 5 days or so. I also took Vitamin D3 and C before, lost weight, and sun tanned in the summer.
Let us see what happens, because I am getting very different inputs about Xi(Omicron)'s severity. Some people say it is super-mild, yet Igor ythinks it will be very serious...
I also note that evidence from Delta suggests that the vaccinated get ill after longer paucisymptomatic period -- maybe 2-3 weeks after initial infection rather than the 'about 7 days' that you see in the unvaccinated. I don't know why this should be*. If it is true with Omicron then we might expect to see the hospitalisations start towards the end of the month.
(* well, if I had to guess I'd say that there's a suppression of the innate immune system in the vaccinated that allows the infection to start in the first place (ie, we see negative vaccine efficiency) but because the innate immune system is responsible for much of the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections (sniffles, coughs, etc) people don't get much in the way of symptoms. The infection can become worse, but not break through into systemic infection because of protective IgG antibodies in the bloodstream. Eventually the infection gets to the point where it is either overcome by the immune system or becomes worse and serious symptoms start (hospitalisation). The remaining question is 'what about ADE' -- the problem with all these antibodies that are being created by ever more vaccinations is that it isn't simply the level of neutralising antibodies but the ratio between neutralising and disease enhancing antibodies -- as the boosters create very high levels of 'barely neutralising' antibodies it is very likely that they'll also increase the levels of enhancing antibodies. Thus it is rather likely that the boosters will increase the risks of ADE.)
One final point -- the insertion on the spike protein of Omicron (ins214EPE) has been suggestive to be associated with evasion of t-cell immunity. The naturally infected have rather a few areas that the t-cells target, but the vaccinated very few -- if they also have t-cell immune evasion then this might impact on the impact of disease. I'd suggest that this might be a bit more targeted towards the young, as the elderly have a poor t-cell response and instead rely on antibodies -- this is probably why covid is so much more dangerous to them in the first place.
We're not sure about T-cell immune escape, but it certainly is a possibility.
The insertion at 214 is a bit odd. Normally you see deletions and changes -- these are 'easy' to happen for an RNA virus. Insertions take a bit more effort. The odd things about ins214EPE is that it actually matches some parts of the human genome. Alternatively, it might have come from a co-infection with a 'cold' type coronavirus. Anyway, there are mechanisms to this type of insertion to occur, only it is much less likely than the normal sets of mutations. I it does code for t-cell immune escape then there's certainly some evolutionary pressure to keep it around once it has evolved... There's some more info here: https://osf.io/f7txy/
I'd suggest that it is most likely that this has mutated within a human with HIV. I'd suggest that they were likely vaccinated, but that's not essential for these things to occur. I'd state that it is very important to note that this 'isn't their fault' -- SA has a terrible problem with HIV and they've got enough problems to deal with without any 'blame'.
It isn't out of the question to suggest that it came from a lab. If it did then I don't have the information as to why they'd want to do it (ie, I don't know if it is a 12-monkeys scenario or it was the Chinese releasing a 'solve the problem and save humanity' variant).
I've heard a few people suggest that Omicron evolved in an HIV patient, but I've not heard anyone explain how an immunocompromised person could survive a long term infection with SCV2 without treatment? I get why an HIV patient would have trouble clearing the virus...any virus...but how did he survive for 15 months? Wouldn't this have implications for the virulence of the variant? Do we have any data on HCQ and Ivermectin us in South Africa and Botswana? How could this happen?
It is due to a mix of those with HIV having a compromised immune system but also taking antivirals. The antivirals suppress any viral infection but the compromised immune system means that viral clearance isn't complete.
I am kind of shy about asking to virate my articles -- I mean I like the reposts and discussions -- but I am shy asking to virate them. But this one, to be honest I want to be spread far and wide.
JUST ADDED: Look at the bottom of the article for "Denmark dec 13 2021 update":
Hospitalization Rate for prior variants 0.7%, for Omicron so far 1.1% (so 1.5 times higher).
https://www.ssi.dk/-/media/cdn/files/covid19/omikron/statusrapport/rapport-omikronvarianten-13122021-i30w.pdf?la=da
Thanks very much for the link, Igor -- I'd not seen it.
Anyway, It is very much worse than you've suggested. Hospitalisation takes about 5-7 days following infection (I think it is possibly longer for the vaccinated, but we'll stick with about a week for now).
Thus the number hospitalised (37) should be compared with the number of Omicron cases 5-7 days ago -- this was 171-703... That' makes 5-20%...
Now, I'd assume (frankly, I hope) that actually there were rather more cases and it was just that they weren't so good at identifying Omicron at that point... But it really doesn't look too good right now.
It also looks like Omicron has achieved near complete vaccine escape. (it actually looks like there are more vaccinated-infected than you'd expect given the %age vaccinated in the population).
Right. I spent the last 1.5 hours driving to visit a certain customer, and thinking exactly the same thoughts. The "other variants" does not need time lag adjustment because it is a history over a long period.
The Omicron numbers definitely do need time lag adjustment, because it is a rising wave and a new phenomenon. If hospitalization rate fo r"other variants" in Denmark is only 0.7% (I find it very hard to believe by the way), and hospitalization rate of Omicron is 10-12%, this portends a very scary future.
I need to do more confirming or disconfirming before sounding alarm, though. Their prior hospitalization numbers seem to be way too low?
A hospitalisation rate of 0.7% for Delta seems about right to me (actually, it seems a bit high -- this probably reflects a good %age of people not bothering to get tested if symptoms are very mild).
10% hospitalisation for Omicron seems too high. I imagine that this is due to under testing because people don't associate their symptoms with covid and so don't get tested (the symptoms are somewhat different).
Nevertheless, I'd suggest that it isn't going to be 10x too high. I'm very concerned that the hospitalisation rate is rather significant (maybe 2-3%) and will cause problems. I'm also very concerned about the relative incidence of hospitalisation in vaccinated vs unvaccinated; I very much hope that we're not seeing a significant level of ADE here.
I am suspicious of all numbers I saw in that table. The other variant hospitalization rate seems low. Denmark had 560k cases and 3k deaths, making for 0.5% death rate. And hospitalization rate is only 0.7%?
The Omicron number is probably truthful, but needs to be adjusted for a week time lag.Then it becomes 2.6%, if you divide 14 hospitalizations by cases up to Dec 5.
Hopefully another week will give us larger data sets for UK and Denmark.
Perhaps the high Omicron hospitalization rate is really high hospitalizations due to events from the boosters people have been running to get, with incidental Omicron?
It is hard to tell. But as more cases roll in, we will know more.
You should be suspicious of ALL of these numbers for the many reasons I've conveyed in our previous discussions. The apparent accuracy of these data is extremely misleading and based in large part on spurious and artifactual definitions and policies.
Yes. I agree with you. We are living in a strange world. The only true thing is that Fauci is the God of science. Everything else changes daily. 87.62% of all Covid statistics is made up.
Not to mention the hideously untrustworthy nature of PCR mass testing.
Nothing derived from such test uhh can be relied upon because they refuse to include proper controls & the facilities in which samples are processed renders micro cross contamination inevitable.
I think those numbers are only from 11/22 to 12/10, though. So for Delta, it's also probably too soon to calculate the actual hospitalization rate for that entire period. You'd have to do the same comparison you did for Omicron - how many Delta cases were there 1-2 weeks before 12/10?
Your comment is correct and I was wrong and stand corrected (on the comment -- fortunately not the article).
Yes, both hospitalization rates are for the recent period and both need adjustment.
Great link I will read it
So, now more than ever, is the time to have ivm or hcq on hand for early intervention
and a bit more than that. get the whole flccc.net imask protocol or whatever and read and understand when to use what and why.
Then check with your hospital and find out if you can what treatments they propose to give you if you get hospitalised. They could kill you, you know. Or make you suffer anything from mild inconvenience to agonies.
My hospital will not tell me. I'm in Jackboot Australia. And my Dept of Health will not even acknowledge my enquiries. Not very confidence building. Not very therapeutic.
I'm doing what I can about that in my case and I'd suggest anyone/everyone should.
If all the vaxxed are going to get Marek's-ed... and die... I don't think it will be a very pleasant world for the survivors...
What’s happening with the 15-19 and 20-29 age groups? They were the last to get inoculated and are the most affected by Omicron.
It is a great point you noticed. More recently vaccinated == more antibodies == more ADE from those antibodies?
May be worth following, yes.
I appreciate hearing what seems to be a contrarian view on Omicron. Love the fact that, with substacks, we are having a real discussion about this. This is what science and rational discussion looks like. Multiple interpretations subjected to analysis by many minds.
Right! We are not trying to shut each other down. We all present our opinions and facts. Time will sort out who is right. Meanwhile we can all have fun deciphering clues and wading through official deception.
Yes, that's the best of it. Data are not abs conclusive and this merits a fair discussion. Either way it turns out to be, mild or ADE or both, your opinion is more than a valid hypothesis. Thank you!
Data from SA from last two days, in terms of declining positivity rate and declining hospitalization rates, are quite encouraging that the so-called Omicron wave is already petering out. Stay tuned. Similar dynamics may well unfound in UK and other countries. Agree with you that BJ's "boost them all" approach is sheer idiocy. In US, the FDA's advisory panel voted in Sept. 16-2 against boosters for under 65s and yet FDA went ahead and approved anyway! Can we all say together "regulatory capture"?
Yes, this is the worst "regulatory capture" and "oligarch capture" that I have ever seen.
When you mix science and politics, you end up with politics. There was never any science applied to the reaction to the CCP virus.
I agree with you. I AM SCIENCE haha

Here's another. I posted it to Fakebook...or rather, I tried to post it to Fakebook. It was flagged immediately for violating their community standards for nudity or sexual content. Not kidding. I've been placed in Fakebook jail for seven days. They're shameless...and they have no sense of humor.

Oh, sh*t! Facebook ban for that?!? EVERYBODY is saying the vaxxed are getting infected with omicron more than the unvaxxed!
I posted another data analysis article in November, and Fakebook flagged it for the same violation and put me in jail for a week. I've got the receipts. It's a joke. They don't have the guts to say...we're not gonna let you post this 'cause we don't want people to know about it...they mislabel a post as smut and give you no recourse. They really, really suck.
Good one! I'm going to remember that!
At Thanksgiving my vaxxed nephew gave my unvaxxed eldest son covid. Then tried to blame my son. Nephew's girl got boosted that week, poor simple thing, and immediately got covid after having a few days of bad side effects from the booster. Son's vaxxed girl wanted nothing to do with him when he tested positive, so he came home at our insistence to recuperate with us, his unvaxxed parents who'd had covid. Three days of horse paste, etc and he was pretty much done with it.
Meanwhile the cowering vaxholes (you may opt for the vaccines and still not be a vaxhole but ..) were laughing at ivermectin and saying: we'll stick with the vaccines, they work about as well as the flu vaccines.
I think I see a parting of mankind into two groups unless we learn to talk to each other. I suggested that ivermectin and vaccines are not mutually exclusive. No reply.
Yeah. I am fortunate to have a nice habitable basement in my house, this is where I was isolating. I was taking daily walks when I had Covid though. All masked
I can't help thinking of how we took care of each other when flu hit. Maybe the best thing is do the same with this virus and take what comes. Assuming you have some early treatment plans and meds.
We don't have a basement, I wasn't going to the crawl space, and infected my husband ASAP. For us it worked. But then neither had any serious comorbidities.
Still, if you've ever been clobbered by flu, you know no one should be left alone to fight it. It's inhumane, and dangerous.
I don't know about you or I or anyone else, whether they should 'take what comes' but the human race has to take what comes, like it or not. We live in a sea of bacteria and virus and interact constantly with it. We ARE mainly bacteria and virus - more of them than human cells And even the origin of the eucharyotic cell is viral/bacterial.
Find ways to avoid the pain, the bad effects, okay, good thing. But to think the human race is going to avoid this reality? Madness of the first order. Complete misunderstanding of reality. Comic book simplicity.
That's why we talk of 'robots', claiming that govts want to make 'robots' of us. Because if not vitally enmeshed in this viral/bacterial sea we're not human any more at all.
There are those who do not want to be human.
They would contemplate being transplanted brains in a mechanical structure with equanimity.
I wouldn't. Makes interesting sci-fi reading but it's not a future I would opt for.
I don't know if it could be done. Where would the next generation come from? Artificially grown in petri dishes?
Sci fi. Gets horrible to think about it.
Bottom line: we have to take what comes. Have to. As a race. Must.
'we'll stick with the vaccines, they work about as well as the flu vaccines' (which don't work either .. but trying to go there would be a bridge too far)
This is why it will be very gratifying should the vaxholes drop like flies at some point.
Consider that big shot of endorphin that is released when you read a story (or better still see a video!) involving a damaged vaxhole. It's like a big haul up the left nostril of High Grade Bolivian Blow (at the source)....
Pretty good huh?
Now fast forward and you are walking down the street. Let's say you are in Hong Kong at the Causeway Bay cross walk in front of Sogo ...probably the busiest cross walk in the world.
The light turns green and the horde of CovIDIOTS head into the street then Suddenly! - hundreds of them fall to the pavement... slither around a bit ... then expire.
That be more like a giant hit of crack cocaine (Pure Bolivian...) - I've never tried that but I understand it's so enervating that you nearly pass out... pure bliss.... perhaps you cut it with some Pure Burmese heroin... never tried that either but I am sure that's good ... did smoke a bit of opium in Laos once ... just to try... that was pretty good... but I digress...
Pure Burma + Bolivia = Nirvana. Therefore CovIDIOTS dying like flies = Nirvana.
Pure Bloods Laugh Last.
Good analysis.
This is why I find endless amusement when I read about Hyper CovIDIOTS getting wrecked after taking the vaccine. Remember -- a great number of those people are the ones that were mocking the unvaxxed
Thanks, Igor. Great report. Please keep going as you are. You are the clearest of writers. At this point, writing for the masses has no point. The saved need no saving but a sense of shared community, and even minutes of reading the popular Tweeter comments show how gone most of the world is in its ignorance of what’s going on. Your checking and rechecking data is appreciated.
Thank you very much, Elena.
You're right. But it would be useful if all our writing, all our knowledge, were somewhere somehow ordered, indexed, accessible so's we could resort to it , extract what's required and then fire it as a 'bullet' at a susceptible member or group of the masses. Or of those who're indoctrinating/misleading the masses.
Take my example, my own self - if I want to contradict some 'masses' belief about this or that I often find myself hunting through my saved links - maybe as many as 500 now - and often not finding exactly what I want.
So I'm working on it but it'd be nice if it were done for me and if I could feel I'm not reinventing the wheel.
And I come up with questions and I don't know where to put them. Best I can think of is to find a comments column such as this and stick in in there and hope some random reader may have enough interest to supply the answer if they have it or a link to where I might find it.
A venue deliberately designed for that would be good. But I don't know of one.
I think we need a central point or two.
I have been Dreaming of a good indexing system for awhile. If you come up with any good ideas I will be very happy to hear about that. I just use my email inbox and subject lines for tracking interesting finds. Google Drive is a good thing with public folders. The topics and themes levels are super interesting to discuss. Umberto Eco has a good (boring lol) book on lists. Lists have been the eternal human preoccupation.
Yep. Please let me know if you come up with 'the' system. Perhaps we'll get a focal point before too long that'll do it for us.
This article was truly amazing. Where has substack been all my life. I am sharing this far and wide. I agree with so many points here. This is what discussion and analysis should be about. Thank you thank you. There are good people out there that care about what is happening and are giving up their lives to work really hard to create this body of work and share it to us. I’m a health professional for almost 30 years and have 3 science degrees and I read this twice it’s so good.
And thank you!
"Variants" are just ways of laundering illnesses and deaths caused by the "vaccines" aka genetic poison clot shots, just like "COVID" was a way of laundering deaths from all other causes (flu, beetus, afib, ladder falls, motorcycle accidents, old age, etc.).
That is why "delta" showed up in the first wave of the clot shot and "omigod" showed up during the rollout of boosters.
Saying that there is "a several week period when they are uniquely vulnerable to infection" is beyond naive - that is merely the period where most of the adverse events from the clot shot occur.
I think what's probably going on is that inherently faulty tests, decision to test asymptomatic people, extremely inclusive definitions of "case," "hospitalization," and "Covid death," plus impact of lockdown policies, led to ~90% of the harm from "the virus" (but it mostly wasn't the virus at all), pre-vaccine, and I think you're probably right that now most of the harm is being done by the vaccines themselves, but we need more data to make that latter case. If we're right it will be a classic case of Western medicine over-diagnosis and then creating a treatment for that over-diagnosis that makes the problem even worse. The very sad and dangerous aspect of our current path is that we seem to be headed toward catastrophic vaccine/booster hell in a way that will ensure years more of this ongoing nightmare in Western nations and eventually also in non-Western nations as they adopt the absurd policies being pushed by Western nations and WHO.
Trinidad and Tobago showed strong correlation with rollouts of vaccine and massive increase in death rates, AND also a winter spike which I'm assuming correlates with a new push for vaccinations and/or boosters (but don't know for sure). Scroll down to deaths: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/trinidad-and-tobago
I'm inclined to agree with you but we'll need strong data to make that case. Do you have any cross-country comparisons linking rollout of the vaccines and then boosters closely in time to case rate increases and hospitalizations? I've made a high-level case for this argument in this draft essay (not yet published): https://tamhunt.medium.com/the-covid-19-pandemic-is-a-major-indictment-of-western-healthcare-and-policies-73972f5542e
There's a known drop in white blood cells also with other vaccines, and people are getting not just AEs from the shots such as blood clots, heart attacks, aggressive cancers etc. but also viruses such as Covid, shingles, and other dormant viruses reactivating.
Got links?
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/insanity-in-vietnam
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4974007/ (this refers to other vaccine, same phenomenon)
Reports of increased shingles, etc. but I don't remember where I saw them.
Ridiculous. Most of the adverse effects from vaccines happened months ago, because that is when most people got the vaccine.
"Omicron is vaccine resistant. To fight it we need to take more of the vaccines to which it is resistant."
Sounds like a plan, Doris !
Yes, we have brilliant leaders and no less brilliant followers.
I suspect this is not stupidity .. or group think... it does appear that they are hell bent on exterminating humans (but then we are running out of cheap energy so that is actually the right thing to do)
It is possible -- and can involve a surprisingly small number of aware conspirators.
Once upon a time I suggested to someone that the people who own the Fed run the world -- and that the Deep State + politicians are their minions.. and have no real power.
The person thought that was ridiculous saying how can it be possible for a small group of people to control everything?
I responded with -- look at any major corporation - some have hundreds of thousands of employees... yet the board calls the shots and everyone from the CEO down to the janitors do what they are told - if they dont they get replaced.
It's no different that training a dog - instead of treats you pay people.
Then I left with this thought --- monarchies controlled enormous empires... a small group of people were behind those empires... look at the English .. they didn't control the entire world ... only about half.
So yes - a small group can exert great power. I like to refer to the men who control the world as The Elders
Zero chance it is intentional. It's a bunch of terrified and incompetent leaders handcuffed by political correctness making panic-induced irrational decisions.

THE PERFECT STORM : The economy is a surplus energy equation, not a monetary one, and growth in output (and in the global population) since the Industrial Revolution has resulted from the harnessing of ever-greater quantities of energy. But the critical relationship between energy production and the energy cost of extraction is now deteriorating so rapidly that the economy as we have known it for more than two centuries is beginning to unravel https://ftalphaville-cdn.ft.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Perfect-Storm-LR.pdf

Oil Gluts – do NOT indicate we have found more oil. We just pumped what’s left too fast.
Summary In 2019 a second Perfect Storm was approaching – the central banks had been doing ‘whatever it takes’ for over a decade…. Essentially nothing was off the table --- throw the kitchen sink at pushing GFC2.0 into the future. In 2019 the guns were blazing but the beast was no longer held at bay…
What do you do when you are burning far more oil than you discover --- and your efforts to offset the impact of expensive to produce oil push you to the edge of the cliff? You can accept your fate and allow the beast to shove you into the abyss…. Or you can take the ‘nuclear option’ and shut down as much of the economy as possible, preserve remaining oil and pump in trillions of dollars of life support to keep the system feebly alive.
Punchline: The problem global leaders face is that if you unleash the nuclear option without some sort of cover, the sheeple and the markets would be thrown into a panic and you risk blowing things up prematurely. So you need a reason for putting the global economy on ice --- one that does not spook the masses – one that is big enough to justify such epic amounts of stimulus and extreme policies --- and one that allows you to explain ‘this is just temporary – once this is gone --- we will get back to normal’
A pandemic is the perfect cover.
End Game – Covid was foisted on us as cover for the response to peak oil (if we don’t slow the burn oil prices go through the roof and we collapse) but it is also being used to convince billions to be Injected. The Injection is meant to cause extremely deadly variants similar to Marek’s this .. only worse because we are deploying into a pandemic https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/tthis-chicken-vaccine-makes-virus-dangerous.
“Mass infection prevention and mass vaccination with leaky Covid-19 vaccines in the midst of the pandemic can only breed highly infectious variants.” https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/
French virologist and Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier called mass vaccination against the coronavirus during the pandemic “unthinkable” and a historical blunder that is “creating the variants” and leading to deaths from the disease.
The Vaccines and Boosters will Result in a Catastrophic Outcome - From a scientific viewpoint it is, therefore, difficult to understand how booster immunizations using vaccines which are not evolution-proof could prevent a highly mutable virus from escaping neutralizing anti-S Abs while driving the pandemic in a catastrophic direction, both in Israel and worldwide. How can the WHO stand by and watch as this additional experiment unfolds, soon to be followed by other countries? https://thehighwire.com/videos/vaccine-expert-warns-of-covid-vaccination-catastrophe/
The reason for this is that 8B people need cheap oil to live. They would starve without it. And 8B people without food would result in epic starvation, violence, rape and cannibalism. Industrial civilization ends soon after peak oil. Unfortunately we also have 4000 spent fuel ponds that will boil off and release toxic substances for centuries. These facilities cannot be controlled with computers and energy. So even the few remaining hunters and gatherer tribes will die as they consume these toxins in the food, air and water.
The PTB understand all of this and that is WHY every leader is on board with the Injections. There is NO way out of this --- so they have decided to mitigate the suffering as much as possible by putting us down and here is the mechanism https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/post/why-the-ongoing-mass-vaccination-experiment-drives-a-rapid-evolutionary-response-of-sars-cov-2.

There is a risk with relying on the data from SA suggesting that Omicron is less likely to result in serious disease -- they've got high levels of natural immunity (not vaccine), are younger, and, IMO most importantly of all, they're in the middle of summer which is when upper respiratory tract infections are generally mild. This latter point is almost certainly why we in the UK (and Europe in general) have had a relatively low number of hospitalisations/deaths since vaccination started. This is probably linked with vitamin D levels, but that's a moot point because people aren't being advised by national authorities to take high levels of vitD.
This is 100% correct and very well said.
It could be mild for young unvaxxed people with high vitamin D levels, but bad news for old overweight vaxxed people with low vitamin D levels. It might be explicitly targeting an elderly vaxxed population.
It is worth pointing out that one of the other places where ADE was found is with many of the candidate vaccines for SARS-COV-1. Eg, see Yang et al, 2005, which used viral a vector vaccine approach (https://www.pnas.org/content/102/3/797). Of course, these were in animals and we don't know whether we'd have seen the enhanced disease if the vaccine candidate was used in humans for SARS-COV-1... but then that's the point of doing rigorous early stage trials -- it would be mad to try out these candidate vaccines on a large scale in humans before fully identifying risks that might emerge perhaps 12 months after vaccination.
Do you mind if I incorporate two of your comments into my article, with proper attribution of course?
Of course -- feel free. Cheers, Bartram.
I did
ADE also explains why old people have been more susceptible to bad outcomes from covid. It can occur from exposure over a lifetime to natural coronaviruses, not just from these filthy shots.
Yes, partly. It is likely that cross-immunity to endemic coronaviruses (colds) will have caused ADE in some older folk.
This is interesting https://www.wired.com/2003/05/feds-race-to-make-sars-vaccine/
The evidence thus far, objectively speaking, is that in the real world, boosters appear at best to be totally ineffective against omicron. (Unless there is somehow a demographic of unvaccinated or twice-vaccinated people with severe disease from omicron that is escaping detection. Unlikely.)
These political leaders remind me of that driver who wants to avoid sitting in traffic. Moving, he reasons, is better than not moving, and so he takes a long and circuitous detour, quadrupling the duration of his trip. My fear is that they may just end up crashing us all into a tree before we can even reach our final destination.
It is even worse that you are saying. I want to write about it.
Please do.
I think the whole narrative is wrong. they keep it about vaxxes and even yourself and myself our selves fall into line with it and discuss vaxes.
But vaxes themselves are not about vaxes.
Immune System is what it is all about.
When a vax 'works' it prompted an immune system into efficient performance: more than to be expected otherwise.
When a vax 'doesn't work' it failed to do the above.
When a vax performs below 'par' then it has harmed the immune system.
When a vax does anything it does it with an Immune System.
Without an Immune System: nothing.
Without a vax: everything remains.
So it should never be : 'nix the omi vax etc.' it should be 'leave the immune system alone' and so on. Shift the focus. Remember the point.
And when 'working' the vax is pushing the immune system - common sense would seem to be to consider what else we can do for the immune system to help out at that time - would it not?
But this is never, never, never, ever mentioned, promoted, contemplated.
Never, ever.
When discussing that hotbed of vaccine insanity, Israel it is all talk of the vaccines, this one, that one, and boosters, this one, that one... but the 'patient' is the immune system in question and it should be all about it: 'Here is an immune system prejudiced by 70 years of life and these comorbidities, crippled in recent times by being denied normal sustenance such as sunshine and the company of friends and relatives and aggravated by psychological turmoil... '
Yep, it's implied in the stats, broken into age groups etc...
But the focus, the emphasis, the whole discussion is about the vaxes.
which misses the point entirely.
How are we ever to succeed in this 'war' when we refuse to consider the main point: the actual army that does the fighting - the Immune System?
When Pfizer's first report came out and revealed their vaunted 95% protection actually meant a 0.1% improvement on the Immune System's normal performance there was never any discussion anywhere that I ever saw on how that 0.1% might have been gained by other means.
Not even right there in Dr Chris Martensen's Youtube vid which is where I first saw it.
But in a world of overweight people, sugar overloaded diabetic people, sedentary couch potatoes etc.. figures corrected for those things may well have revealed that without being handicapped by them our immune systems would have crapped all over that 0.1% gain and made twice, three time, four times it.
And in a world concentrating on helping the Immune system Ivermectin and HCQ would be seen as sensible and useful and even necessary adjuncts. Where in a world of vaxes they were not seen at all in general - your typical human talking vaxes gives not the smallest shred of thought to immune system adjuncts, enhancement etc - except when big pharma saw the letters of the Law which said they couldn't use this unproven thing without emergency power which they couldn't have while ever other treatments existed.
And thus was born with minimal caesarean difficulty probably the greatest deliberate medical fraud leading to the world's greatest ever murderous annihilation.
$ and Vaxes the whole of the narrative.
Immune Systems and people and health the whole of the truth.
$ and Vaxes diametrically opposed to the truth.
What if the goal is to destroy people's immune systems? Evaluate every decision made during the last two years in this light.
Then go back and look at all the health advice given over the last 50 years and ask if there is some kind of plot to create a sick population.
I expect that they are secretly working on the new Omicron version but will tell everyone to get the old version right up to the day when they new version is available, at which point "hey everyone you need another two shots ASAP". Prediction is easy when you assume malice AND stupidity. If the goal is to jab everyone as much as possible that is the way to play it.
I’m afraid you can be right, so we should be prepared with all the early treatment options at hand: high levels of vitamin D, C and Zinc, quercetin, ivm, fvm, aspirin, budesonide inhaler, xylitol and xylitol/povidone nasal sprays, manuka honey and black cumin oil …
Am I missing something?
A year ago, I used Vitamin D3 (a lot in the first few days), C, zinc, and two baby aspirins for the first 5 days or so. I also took Vitamin D3 and C before, lost weight, and sun tanned in the summer.
Yes, ... NAC, nitazoxanide, melatonin and fluvoxamine ....
Ok, I need to get nitazoxanide and forgot to mention the rest. Thank you!

"..and may be as deadly or deadlier than Delta.."
After thousands of people with this variant and not one death...this is a strange comment
"Is this Fear Porn and a Lockdown Advocacy?"
1/YES
2/I have no idea :)
Let us see what happens, because I am getting very different inputs about Xi(Omicron)'s severity. Some people say it is super-mild, yet Igor ythinks it will be very serious...
We don't know about its severity yet.
I also note that evidence from Delta suggests that the vaccinated get ill after longer paucisymptomatic period -- maybe 2-3 weeks after initial infection rather than the 'about 7 days' that you see in the unvaccinated. I don't know why this should be*. If it is true with Omicron then we might expect to see the hospitalisations start towards the end of the month.
(* well, if I had to guess I'd say that there's a suppression of the innate immune system in the vaccinated that allows the infection to start in the first place (ie, we see negative vaccine efficiency) but because the innate immune system is responsible for much of the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections (sniffles, coughs, etc) people don't get much in the way of symptoms. The infection can become worse, but not break through into systemic infection because of protective IgG antibodies in the bloodstream. Eventually the infection gets to the point where it is either overcome by the immune system or becomes worse and serious symptoms start (hospitalisation). The remaining question is 'what about ADE' -- the problem with all these antibodies that are being created by ever more vaccinations is that it isn't simply the level of neutralising antibodies but the ratio between neutralising and disease enhancing antibodies -- as the boosters create very high levels of 'barely neutralising' antibodies it is very likely that they'll also increase the levels of enhancing antibodies. Thus it is rather likely that the boosters will increase the risks of ADE.)
One final point -- the insertion on the spike protein of Omicron (ins214EPE) has been suggestive to be associated with evasion of t-cell immunity. The naturally infected have rather a few areas that the t-cells target, but the vaccinated very few -- if they also have t-cell immune evasion then this might impact on the impact of disease. I'd suggest that this might be a bit more targeted towards the young, as the elderly have a poor t-cell response and instead rely on antibodies -- this is probably why covid is so much more dangerous to them in the first place.
Thanks. So Omicron escapes both Spike-speciic antibodies as well as Spike-specific T-cells, right?
Anyway, have you looked into a possibility that Omicron may be a lab creation?
We're not sure about T-cell immune escape, but it certainly is a possibility.
The insertion at 214 is a bit odd. Normally you see deletions and changes -- these are 'easy' to happen for an RNA virus. Insertions take a bit more effort. The odd things about ins214EPE is that it actually matches some parts of the human genome. Alternatively, it might have come from a co-infection with a 'cold' type coronavirus. Anyway, there are mechanisms to this type of insertion to occur, only it is much less likely than the normal sets of mutations. I it does code for t-cell immune escape then there's certainly some evolutionary pressure to keep it around once it has evolved... There's some more info here: https://osf.io/f7txy/
I'd suggest that it is most likely that this has mutated within a human with HIV. I'd suggest that they were likely vaccinated, but that's not essential for these things to occur. I'd state that it is very important to note that this 'isn't their fault' -- SA has a terrible problem with HIV and they've got enough problems to deal with without any 'blame'.
It isn't out of the question to suggest that it came from a lab. If it did then I don't have the information as to why they'd want to do it (ie, I don't know if it is a 12-monkeys scenario or it was the Chinese releasing a 'solve the problem and save humanity' variant).
I've heard a few people suggest that Omicron evolved in an HIV patient, but I've not heard anyone explain how an immunocompromised person could survive a long term infection with SCV2 without treatment? I get why an HIV patient would have trouble clearing the virus...any virus...but how did he survive for 15 months? Wouldn't this have implications for the virulence of the variant? Do we have any data on HCQ and Ivermectin us in South Africa and Botswana? How could this happen?
It is due to a mix of those with HIV having a compromised immune system but also taking antivirals. The antivirals suppress any viral infection but the compromised immune system means that viral clearance isn't complete.
Excellent. Igor!
This article should serve as a template for you, and others - facts plus a little speculation on the side!.
Thank you, Barry! I am hoping to be proven wrong on all of my predictions, actually.
Also, let's share this one and see what other people think. We are in living in interesting times
Done.
In future, let me know if you want me to virate your articles - provided that I don't diss them!
I am kind of shy about asking to virate my articles -- I mean I like the reposts and discussions -- but I am shy asking to virate them. But this one, to be honest I want to be spread far and wide.
and thank you
Don't be shy. It is better people have more infor to sheave than less. Plenty of people ask others to share their posts.
Anyway, "they" were not shy in virating the virus!!!
What does virate mean in this sense?
"Virate" is a verb: to spread or propagate something; like a virus. Verb of viral. My invention!
