Igor, you need a break! This Omicron is a non-event. They just whipped it up to push the items on their list (lockdowns and compulsory vaxx in EU, boosters everywhere, 4th jabs). Omicron was circulating in Africa for months before they declared it on Nov. 23rd. And did Africa die? No. Why then? Because on that day SA changed in Covid-19 case counting rules so that an artificial spike in cases would ensure, everyone knew that. And do not trust all data they publish. They lie to us every day many times over, the bigger the lie, the more believable: "They couldn't have made it up!" Yes they can. They have no remorse or conscience. Don't fall for it. Any numbers they publish - it's their numbers. Remember Pfizer? Their trial data? Just like that. Now it will take FDA 75 years to publish that? And you still believe them? STOP!
What is happening is that people's immune systems are being damaged by the experimental injections. Their bodies are thusly more susceptible to all manner of disease. This will worsen and Pharma will roll through the Greek alphabet to explain it away and continue with the fear mongering.
The average age of a death by or with "Covid-19" is higher than life expectancy in all Western countries. No other figure even need be known to understand the "pandemic" (business model) is a fraud and a giant Ponzi scheme.
The fact that there is no such thing as a "Covid death" is another minor problem here as SARSCoV2 itself is a computer generated fiction.
In the US the "Covid death" number is cooked/manipulated due to how the CDC does their accounting as well as many other factors- an audit of the CDC mortality numbers themselves is required.
1) The first thing that must be addressed is "who were these people?" The average age of a "Covid death" is 80 in the US and 82 globally w/4 comorbidities on average. The vast majority of these people were from nursing homes, assisted living, hospice etc. Where did the vast majority of initial "Covid deaths" occur? Here in the US (and everywhere in the West- Milan, Madrid, London, Brussels, Montreal, Toronto, etc.) most, if not all, who died from "Covid" already had one foot in the grave and their death was put on fast forward through medical protocols not an anomalous viral event.
What we had here in the US was a radical and mandatory shift in policies relating to hospitals, care homes and the overall social order. These new "policies" were mandated through various new and aberrant state "guidelines" which resulted in a concentrated death rate for a six week period in March/April. Take that out of the equation and there is no death rate to talk about. Put (or keep) these policies in place and we will have this happen every year.
There was also gross negligence (beyond the usual) in numerous nursing homes that led to abandonment and medication alterations that turned these slow motion abattoirs into death houses. One of the remarkable things of note is that here in the US the "pandemic" was not widespread (which is supposed to be one of the defining features of a pandemic) but was in fact limited to very specific locations;
2) The faulty diagnosis of what is a "Covid death" did they die "with" or "from" Covid which is problematic for several reasons. In many cases an actual test was never done only a "presumed to be Covid" assessment was put forth. Add to this that when the tests were done PCR tests done with faulty specs (gene sequencing, cycle thresholds, annealing problems, faulty primers and so forth) were used. PCR can't diagnose anything in the first place and compounded with these problems they are useless and misleading;
3) No autopsies. Why were no autopsies done in the US? Why did they pass new mandates that halted all autopsies for "Covid deaths?" This went against decades long protocol. They also changed decades old protocol on how death certificates should be filed;
4) Another way they inflated death counts was through hospital admissions and faulty PCR testing. So for example if one came in with a coronary condition you would be given a "Covid test" no matter what- all admissions required this- and then if you died while in the hospital you could have been listed as a "Covid death." This happened frequently throughout the year;
5) Home deaths is yet another way that figures were cooked. This was admitted point blank by Stephanie Buehle (NY Dept. of Health spokesperson) among others who stated that home deaths with no testing at all would be presumed "Covid deaths." This "guideline" was mandated through the NY Health Dept;
6) "Covid death counts were forged- CDC instructed officials to certify any death as "caused by" COVID if the decedent tested positive prior to passing or was suspected of having "C19", even if it wasn't the actual cause of death. Thus we have major misattribution. E.g., we have over 14,000 injury deaths listed in the "C19 death" total.
We also unexplained declines in other common death categories because so many have been attributed to "C19." The unprecedented broad definition of "C19" death has created huge fraud in "Covid death" counts;
7) Another way they inflated death counts was through hospital admissions and faulty PCR testing. This caused a huge spike in iatrogenic deaths caused by misattribution of "Covid" to incoming patients and the ensuing improper treatments applied e.g. ventilators, remdesivir and associated fentanyl dosages which killed thousands.
So for example if one came in with a coronary condition you would be given a "Covid test" no matter what- all admissions required this- and then if you died while in the hospital you could have been listed as a "Covid death." This happened frequently through the year.
The practice of PCR-testing hospital admissions who are asymptomatic for Covid using high Ct values undoubtedly caused deaths and unnecessary suffering.
This matters for several reasons. A pneumonia patient e.g. has a very good chance of surviving with correct support. However, if the patient tests ‘+’ for the non-existent pathogen an entirely different medical protocol goes into action and with this and there is little chance of survival.
The 'diagnosis' of "Covid" effectively permits dangerous protocols to be enacted that then increase the chance of mortality.
With regard to adoption of a new RT-PCR protocol for hospital admissions this also falsely manufactured death statistics for "Covid." Add to this how it was incentivized-$$$$$ while hospitals are under extreme financial duress. The US hospital system had it's worst financial quarter on record in the middle of a "pandemic." Administrators were under pressure to alleviate that financial pain and exploit all openings in the CARES Act.
None of this is accidental.
8) Lockdown impacts- too numerous to cite here.
In short whatever "excess deaths" which may have occurred anywhere can be attributed to people who didn't have to die but were KILLED due to the unnecessary use of ventilators, harsh toxic drugs, people dying prematurely do to lack of medical treatment, ill effects from the lockdowns and so on.
Take your vitamins and get right with God. Looks like everyone is going to be exposed. Personally, I went to confession and am attending mass regularly and saying the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet every day.
South African epicenter of Covid-19 omicron outbreak: 70% "are saturating well on room air and do not present with any respiratory symptoms." They are "incidental COVID admissions, having had another medical or surgical reason for admission"
Van den Bossche has a dark prediction that the vaccinated will experience severe consequences from Omicron as it evolves to bind to different receptors than ACE2, and ADE occurs as the variant is so contagious that people will be quickly re-exposed.
At the same time, he says the unvaccinated will be able to withstand it. (He's not as trusting of the immunity of those who are both vaxxed and recovered, and he says they will be variant breeding grounds due to Original Antigenic Sin. He suspects Omicron came from this.)
He also foresees a deadly govt. response of vaccinating even more (of course), this time with anti-Omicron vaccines.
I guess it all depends on whether we can trust the SA data. Are the covid infections they are recording real and symptomatic, or incidental? Are the hospitalisations really needed, or more a case of excessive caution, such as keeping kids in for a couple of days for a sore throat? I think we'd need to see SA hospital ICUs filling up with omicron patients and a lot more deaths before we get too worried about it. At first I thought it was strange that Fauci and the media still seem to be on the "it's mild, don't panic" theme. But as soon as the omicron boosters are ready, you'll see Fauci start talking about how it's becoming more serious, better get your booster or your doomed blah blah blah. But I agree, it's either going to be a total nothing burger, or a fucking disaster. Mainly for the vaxxed. Either way it could be a game changer. If it causes covid to peter out, or whether it becomes a real vaxxed killer that covid has always threatened to be if they don't stop messing around with leaky vaccines.
Hi Igor, just a quick message of support. Keep your honest opinions coming, it's so rare nowadays, even on Substack of all places. I can't see why this bothers so many people in the comments section, if some of you prefer the line of "Omicron is a non-event", you have so many more Substacks to enjoy than Igor's.
I personally think that Omicron ATM in SA is not going to be a calamity, so I wouldn't even bother much following their data anymore, even for a week or two. We're going to have to wait for a while longer until it hits the heavily-vaccinated West, where it could behave completely differently, and I don't mean that in a good way. It could also be mild at first but after a while become much deadlier than past strains, like GVB is predicting. He certainly seems to be as concerned as you are: today he's put up two new posts on his new website, I haven't read either of them for now but I'm pretty sure he's never done that before.
I like your honest and open scepticism of Public Health Authorities . They've been wrong or dishonest on so many things, it's right to be sceptical of pretty much anything they say. If they say it's mild, but keep these illogical travel bans and obligatory quarantine orders for travellers in place for much longer, something is fishy. Seems to me they are trying to push the possible Omicron wave into next year because of the economy. Either way, you can't trust these people, who privately know masks are useless, but are still pushing them a year and a half later because of the fear factor.
What I take away from this is: tell your loved ones about the value of losing the fat, keeping D levels up, keep some ivermectin on hand (horse paste if that's all you can get), stop eating junk, and live your life.
Other than those things there's not a damn thing to do about it.
Except tell your leaders no lockdowns of the healthy.
I do believe what you say about hospitals will be true, at least in the northeast.
Will it be exacerbated by Omicron? You present a scenario in which it could be, and I remain open-minded. Personally, I am still more concerned about the short- and long-term issues that will be caused by the booster and child jab campaigns that are receiving a "boost" right now from omicron fears.
Is there anything else going on in South Africa right now that could be adding to increased hospitalization and death? As others have mentioned, careful digging seems to reveal that many people there are hospitalized "with Omicron." What does this mean?

Please quit parroting the omicron lie.

Well Igor - you were right about the halving of booster due dates! So who knows?
I love your speculative creative number crunching. I appreciate you still having an open mind and exploring ideas.

When studying Omicron’s genome I noticed 214 replaced with (EOE)
Omicron has 26 changes in AA on the spike.
I believe it morphed into human CoV 229 which is a common cold.
Are these lockdowns warranted? 🤣

Since November 1, in South Africa:
• Covid active cases are up 506%
• Covid hospitalizations are up 11%
So mankind has been very lucky with Omicron so far.

Thanks for doing this work, Igor. It's not a bad idea to tell people to be aware.
I sure hope it goes the way of mild ==> endemic
What I take away from this is: tell your loved ones about the value of losing the fat, keeping D levels up, keep some ivermectin on hand (horse paste if that's all you can get), stop eating junk, and live your life.
Other than those things there's not a damn thing to do about it.

Fuck it. Just burn it all down. Maybe we need an Iron Age Collapse just like they had in the age of copper and tin.
Again, these data and projections are all wrong for reasons I've shared on the last two posts.
