No Cases of New COVID Variant, Omicron, Found in the U.S.
Scientifically accurate atomic model of the external structure of the SARS-CoV-2. Each “ball” is an atom. [Via Wikicommons]
On November 26, 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified a new variant, B.1.1.529, as a Variant of Concern and has named it Omicron. No cases of this variant have been identified in the U.S. to date. CDC is following the details of this new variant, first reported to the WHO by South Africa. We are grateful to the South African government and its scientists who have openly communicated with the global scientific community and continue to share information about this variant with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and CDC. We are working with other U.S. and global public health and industry partners to learn more about this variant, as we continue to monitor its path.
CDC is continuously monitoring variants and the U.S. variant surveillance system has reliably detected new variants in this country. We expect Omicron to be identified quickly, if it emerges in the U.S.
We know what it takes to prevent the spread of COVID-19. CDC recommends people follow prevention strategies such as wearing a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high community transmission, washing your hands frequently, and physically distancing from others. CDC also recommends that everyone 5 years and older protect themselves from COVID-19 by getting fully vaccinated. CDC encourages a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose for those who are eligible.
Travelers to the U.S. should continue to follow CDC recommendations for traveling.
CDC will provide updates as more information becomes available.

More China virus madness.
Blaa blab
Seen this movie already
Different theater
WRONG!! Trump Madness……………………….
All caps don’t hide the fact that the US is rapidly approaching 800,000 deaths, with half of those deaths occurring during Brandon’s administration. The vaccines have been available for 100% of Brandon’s administration.
Chew on that for awhile…
🎅🎅So 🎄🎄
So it’s always a little disorganized when you’re cleaning up someone else’s mess, duh.
You forgot your lines. You should start carrying note cards.
So . . . the other half occurred during the chump’s administration and bleach was available 100% of that time. Gargle that for awhile.
And Brandon and the rest of the Vermin on the left side of the aisle were preaching that the vaccines would be no good, wouldn’t be safe, we’re not taking them, etc. etc.
But when the vermin took majority in Congress and the executive office?
Vaccines and mandates to business!
Yes, Wee Willie, I’m aware you have chosen a side. I’ve chosen mine.
You’ll point out the failings of former President Trumps administration and I’ll point out the failings of the vermin on the Left.
So?
And…people like you have spread disinformation and encouraged people to not get them. You’ve probably have persuaded at least one person into severe illness or death with the multiple internet personalities you maintain and all the message boards/websites you post on that crap on. Congrats on helping your fellow citizens into an early grave. You’re a real beauty.
Anyone, who truly follows the science would know the facts. According to CDC, the majority of people have a high survival rate. This does not warrant forcing people into getting the vax. If, the Covid vaxxes are the perfect answer…then why do people have to sign a waiver to relinquish their right to sue, should they experience a problem or even die??? India won’t succumb to this for their people. Why should Americans? No one should be bullied or shamed into submission. No one wants anyone to die! However, I do find it hypocritical that the people who proudly use “my body, my choice” to murder babies are all of a sudden worried about “anyone dying.” Everyone needs to mind their own business…tend to their own immune system via diet & exercise to not fall into the high risk categories being overweight, diabetic etc. Parents should have the right to choose what is right for their children, who already have a strong immune system. If, one is wearing a mask, don’t worry about someone else. In general, with each passing day, everyone is a step closer to death. It’s time to start living life, not prematurely walk the plank of death.
I like the updated visual. Kinda looks like a toy ball you might get for your 13 guinea pigs
I was thinking that would’ve made a scary Halloween costume.
At the very least, a ball that none of the other dog parents would let their dog steal from mine.
“Each ball is an atom”? Which elements?
Mostly C,H,O and N.
Then a molecule, not atoms?
A single particle of an element would be an atom
So the “balls” are organic molecules or individual C, H, N, & O atoms of an organic molecule? Pretty good magnification if we’re looking at hydrogen atoms.
The claim is that the balls are individual atoms. And ya, it’s definitely a close up visualization if that’s the case
I figure the covid situation is going to be ongoing for the unforseeable future. Masking & distancing are needed. I will continue to protect myself even though I am vaccinated (including booster).
I imagine that the vaccines wil be refined & improved to deal with the emerging variants.
Stay safe
Thank you for being considerate.
Re the booster, I believe this just the “first” booster, not “the” booster. Look at MMR (?time?), Tdap (10years), flu (every year).
“refined & improved”
I sure in the heck hope so. When, if, I finally get one, I sure don’t want one every six months. Which reminds me, I need to re-up my tetanus.
If the vaccine advocates start mandating annual covid booster shots for the public in general, there’s going to be some serious shit coming down upon their heads.
Craig you don’t ever need to refresh your tetanus vaccine the next time you step on a nail working on a barn or get scratched(gouged?) repairing a 5 strand 4 pt fence. You can know in your heart that you never need a booster Ever because some random old stoner on the interwebs claimed it was cool man! 😎
OK?
Mandated covid vaccine shots for the general public are not cool, and are definitely not OK!
Tetanus generally comes from dirty animal pens or feces. Or dirt that had animals dropping their feces in it at one point in time so now it’s in the dirt. If you don’t get poked by something while your working in a pen or on land that used to have a pen or animals on it, you don’t really need to worry about tetanus.
Actually rose gardners are at risk from tetanus. They tend to get pricked and scraped, use organic fertilizers and mulches that have spores and are older without boosting their shots. Those spores live 20 years or more in the soil and can travel in dust.
You think it’ll be masking forever and ever? Hard to believe society will tolerate indefinite authoritarian mandates much longer.
So far fear of dying will have many do what they’re told to do. Funny how dying of diabetes, obesity,heart disease and cancer is more acceptable. The virus is considered more yucky ?
I bet you could ask Xi and Dr. Fauci’s stooges at the Wuhan bio weapons lab to weld your doors and windows shut. You’ll be much safer that way…
No, Safe from Jim’s Guest!!
Good God, there is that! Googly-eyed freak!
Omicron doesn’t sound worse than a common cold.
“It presents mild disease with symptoms being sore muscles and tiredness for a day or two not feeling well,” Coetzee explained. “So far, we have detected that those infected do not suffer the loss of taste or smell. They might have a slight cough. There are no prominent symptoms. Of those infected some are currently being treated at home.”
Getting sick from a harmless coronavirus may protect you from COVID-19, researchers at the University of Zurich recently found.
A team of researchers found that antibody responses from previous coronavirus infections can help create immunity to COVID-19.
So now you’re agreeing with what those of us outside the vaccine cult have been saying for many months now (Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi ring a bell)? Nice to see you coming to your senses. Maybe drag Auntie with you and you can both start learning from actual doctors like Bhakdi, rather than morons like Faucci.
Incidentally, Omicron is an anagram for moron.
What you think you have a better grip on was not what was being said by those who favor vaccination. You are just repeating the errors of your bias. You seem to think that people who favor vaccination over the Russian Roulette of anti vaxxers don’t belive in natural immunity. That is of course not what they say- it is just what anti vaxxers hear. Stop arguing against you own misunderstanding and read.
Vaccination is not some miracle medicine that circulates in the body forever to fight against disease. It is simply a way of exposing the natural immune system everyone has in varying degrees without the risk of the disease overwhelming the body before the naive immune system can react. As the article linked by grey fox says ““Of course, immune responses targeting SARS-CoV-2 that are mounted by the memory cells are far more effective than cross-reactive responses. But even though the protection isn’t absolute, cross-reactive immune responses shorten the infection and reduce its severity. And this is exactly what is also achieved through vaccination, just much, much more efficiently,” says Trkola.” It is so simple- vaccine is just a safer first exposure to target Sars-CoV-2 and leads to better responses than just previously having been exposed to related corona viruses. It’s just safer, more targeted and therefore better.
While your were busy flogging your antivax strawman you missed that Rollin was pointing out that what grey fox is calling new is something that some of us have seen evidence of for months. The difference, those months ago, was that folks like you scoffed and called it baseless antivax conspiracy. Kind of like the whole yearly boosters thing.
That’s what Xi said!
If omicron isn’t known to be in the US yet then just give it a couple days. If we’ve survived two years then we’ll make it through diminishing lethality variants. See you on the other side!
Of course there is no reason to think that only variants of diminished lethality will emerge.
Well, the fact that viruses always diminish in lethality as they evolve might be a reason to think that.
It’s pretty wide spread now with new data coming in. . They are just now starting to detect it.
The good news is that South African doctors are saying the cases they have seen have mild symptoms. But need a couple of more weeks to see how serious it is
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/south-african-doctor-raised-alarm-omicron-variant-says-symptoms/
. . .mild symptoms.” Elsewhere I heard it is more easily spread and immune to vaccine. Sounds like it is evolving/mutating right on schedule and into a common virus: one that lives with the host, without killing it, long enough to be spread to the next host, mutating a little asking the way to stay one step ahead of vaccines, then come back to the original host, and on, and on . . . .
The Omicron variant carries worrisome mutations that may let it evade antibodies, scientists said. But it will take more research to know how it fares against vaccinated people. Dr. Hanage and other researchers said that vaccines will most likely protect against Omicron, but further studies are needed to determine how much of the shots’ effectiveness may be reduced.
This from a NY Times article
So, more time. Funny, I think I’ve said that phrase a few times.
I wonder if, on a molecular level, or however they do it, they can tell if it evolved on its own or if, and because, it came into contact with a vaccine. I’m sure if it’s the latter we’ll never know. Not anytime soon at least.
A virus “coming into contact with a vaccine” does not produce variants.
🎅🎅BRAVO. ☃️☃️
“A virus “coming into contact with a vaccine” does not produce variants”
Actually yes , putting pressure on a virus will cause it to mutate into new variants. Leaky vaccines are known to cause viruses to mutate to become vaccine resistant.
I know there have been MANY attempts to educate the ignorant on this topic but unless they are willing to take courses on genetics and evolution, it is hopeless.
The issue with these mrna vaccines is that they do not indue immunity to the virus, but to a particular aspect of the virus (in this case the spike protein). So while a traditional vaccine should produce a generally broad immunity to a virus, these vaccines should produce a narrow immunity to this particular protein.
If, in the natural course of viral mutation, the spike protein is modified and that modified spike protein containing virus finds itself as part of the viral load in a vaccinated person then the vaccine would provide a selective pressure for the mutated virus.
It wouldn’t be that hard. All the anti vaxxers need to do is stop being such tools of Facebook and YouTube snake oil salesmen. Just a minimum asking themselves if something is true before they latch onto it and admitting they really do not know would eliminate most of the crap.
I agree! Go to the source before opining.
“anti vaxxers need to do is stop being such tools of Facebook and YouTube snake oil salesmen.”
Yes, instead they should get their medical advice on an obscure blog from an obscure person with too much free time who is incessantly wrong, among whose most ridiculous claims were that the death rate from covid was north of 5%, that the vaccinated didn’t spread the disease, and that the vaccinated have better immunity that those previously infected to name a few.
If you kept a score card on misinformation, anti vaxxers win hands down. If you keep a score card on meaningful, determined lies, anti vaxxers are even bigger losers- errr- winners. Million have not died from vaccinations nor become infertile nor had magnetized arms nor is covid just the flu. Nor does the vaccine contain the virus nor does vitamin c, d, garlic necklaces, etc prevent infection nor was a computer chips being injected. Nor are 99% of doctors lying to them, nor all deaths on VAERS caused by vaccination nor did india conquer covid with ivermectin. This list of anti vaxxer nonsense could go on forever.
Soooo will you acknowledge that all cause mortality was higher in the treatment group than the placebo in the Pfizer-BioNTech trial yet?
How about apologize for calling people names when they correctly pointed out that comirnaty was a new formulation than the product administered under the eua?
Oh, and I think I missed it when you linked the studies that demonstrate that vaers is totally just useless noise, could you link that again?
And by the way, did you read that preliminary data on mrna vaccines during pregnancy and catch the math error?
Actually I think Nooo has been the biggest spreader of misinformation on the subject. Not the “antivaxxers”.
Thank you hmm for being subtle in your attempt to insult me. I am so glad there are people like you who know absolutely everything there is to know about absolutely everything there is to know. I am reassured now, knowing there are a few fat heads, excuse me, big brains out there who are ignorant of nothing.
Oop, my mistake. Looks like you missed out on how to educate someone without ridiculing them. Your first reply was fine. A link would’ve been helpful if you, yourself, are tired of repeating something you may have said in the past. Insulting people often times makes them less likely to want to learn. Obviously, since I asked a question (remember the phrase, there are no dumb questions?), I WANT the information. But when I’m called a dumbass just because my head is not quite as swollen as yours, even my inquisitive nature is likely to be quashed.
This is what the vaccine cult (and liberals) do, which is why there is such a strong intersection. A reasoned reply will not be forthcoming, insults will.
When civility becomes a hallmark of anti vaxxers, it will likely be returned. You can’t even protest insults without insulting terms like vaccine cult.
“I know there have been MANY attempts to educate the ignorant on this topic”
The irony escapes you. “That guy” has more patience then me and is trying to “educate” you with his reply.
You are right about one thing. It is probably hopeless.
Don’t need immunity if omicron symptoms are mild and pass in a couple of days. Put some dirt on it and walk it off then get back to work.
“This from a NY Times article”
In other words, disregard.
Totally predictable! Anybody who wasn’t listening to Faucis lying ass knows that coronaviruses mutate far to frequently to be able to make a reliable vaccine. Like the flu you will need new vaccine formulas every year and will never get rid of the virus. It’s endemic. But ya, keep listening to the assholes that created the virus and are getting disgustingly rich off the “vaccines”.
Mild symptoms a couple days then you’re better? I can live with that.
If it’s true, if it works out that way, absolutely.
When WHO designates a variant VOC it means it needs to be studied. Variants can be mild or have little effect. Will have to wait and see on this one
No cases of Omicron in the U.S. . . .
. . . Yet.
, Dr. Anthony Fauci, also said it was possible the new variant was already in his country but was yet to be detected
I would not be the least bit surprised if it was here already.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was here first, again.
They are just waiting to reveal it.
Same as before.
Plausible deniability, round two.
Or would that be round three?
Sounds like the definition of Fully Vaccinated will be changed to include a little something for Omicron.
Do they research covid at Ft Dietrick?
Actually, at UNC Chapel Hill, since at least 2015, and probably way before that as well. (Ralph Baric)
But it wouldn’t surprise me if Ft.
Dietrich was involved in coronavirus research as well.
(I know you are bring sarcastic).
I just checked into your jest, and yes, as a matter of fact, mlr, Ft. Dietrich, (IMF Frederick), does extensive SarsCov2 research…
Since at least Dec. 2020.
Non-human primates and everything.
The whole nine yards.
You might be on to something…
🤔🧐And you thought you were just being funny…😁
Take a class in virology. And don’t post Dr Anthony Fauci. You don’t even come up to Dr Fauci’s ankles.
You really shouldn’t be focusing so much of your attention on Dr. Anthony Fauci’s ankles.
Sounds like a good way to get a nasty virus.
Dr. Fauci said what?,
It was possible the new variant was already in his country but was yet to be detected, what?, before it ever went to South Africa?
Sounds about right.
Second verse, same as the first?
Big pharmacy, ” how can we force, er, uh, sell more? We’re not “selling” enough. We need to sell more. Hmm. Got it. Tell ’em there’s a new strain. And the vaccine doesn’t work against it. We can sell a re-branded stronger vaccine. Yes, I know there’s no evidence to that, that’s why we’ll continue to push, uh, sell, er, “offer” the original vaccine plus it’s booster. Oh, yeah, yeah, and in six months, another booster. Oh yes, and another booster for the omigod, I mean, omicron vaccine. Money makes the world go ’round. I foresee triple digit percentage increases in our stocks. We’re in the money.”
Actually in an article I read moderna is already suggesting increasing the dose to deal with troublesome variants.
I did end up getting vaccinated after alot of thought, but I certainly didn’t sign up to get another every 6-12 months. And I would bet a good chunk of change Omicron is in the US already. New York just declared a state of emergency over this variant which was discovered on Nov 11. That’s alot of global travel time since
Hey, if it works for you . . . . I was getting close to thinking enough time, and research, had passed. Then they drop the omicron bomb. More time.
BioNTech (Pfizer) is also working on an up dated version to counter Omicron
I didn’t realize until after I got my 1st dose that moderna (what i chose) is already 3x the dose of the phizer vaccine. All I knew was it was potentially more effective. Now they’re suggesting upping that even higher
J&J is even testing to see if by chance their vaccine will work on omicron.
🎅🎅Suspect it already is. 🌬🌬
The Omicron test kits are just now being issued in the US. They are in short supply.. They are only made by a small company in Belgium
That was conveniently quick.

DNA’s Awesome Potential to Store the World’s DataLIKE THIS STORY:
Humanity is on the cusp of an information explosion unlike anything seen before. What will we do with all the data we produce?
This is not an inconsequential question. Our computers, smart devices, televisions, thermostats, home security systems, digital personal assistants, wearables, cars, robots and other devices are generating and using data in exponentially increasing amounts.
Five years ago, all the data ever produced by our digital technologies totaled 4.4 zettabytes (ZB). That’s 4.4 sextillion bytes — quite a lot of information. Today, we have eclipsed that number: We now produce about 16ZB every year, and by 2025, that number is expected to increase tenfold.
We collect, process and store that data using microchips made primarily of silicon, found in sand. Although it is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, silicon in its pure form — the kind required for fabricating many types of computer chips — is rare, making up less than 10% of the total silicon supply.
And we are using it up quickly. The data deluge could deplete the world’s supply of computer-grade silicon by 2040, according to one study, a significant challenge to new technology and digital progress.
One way to avert this disaster is to improve silicon-refinement processes. In addition, researchers are seeking alternative materials for data processing and storage, such as gallium oxide, hafnium diselenide and zirconium diselenide, and graphene.
But among the alternative materials is another possibility — deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.

Or…WHO began naming variants after Greek letters (Like Delta) and Omicron is the next in line after skipping Nu and Xi

Here’s more interesting info.

DNA Data Storage Is Closer Than You ThinkLife’s information-storage system is being adapted to handle massive amounts of information
Every minute in 2018, Google conducted 3.88 million searches, and people watched 4.33 million videos on YouTube, sent 159,362,760 e-mails, tweeted 473,000 times and posted 49,000 photos on Instagram, according to software company Domo. By 2020 an estimated 1.7 megabytes of data will be created per second per person globally, which translates to about 418 zettabytes in a single year (418 billion one-terabyte hard drive’s worth of information), assuming a world population of 7.8 billion. The magnetic or optical data-storage systems that currently hold this volume of 0s and 1s typically cannot last for more than a century, if that. Further, running data centers takes huge amounts of energy. In short, we are about to have a serious data-storage problem that will only become more severe over time.
An alternative to hard drives is progressing: DNA-based data storage. DNA—which consists of long chains of the nucleotides A, T, C and G—is life’s information-storage material. Data can be stored in the sequence of these letters, turning DNA into a new form of information technology. It is already routinely sequenced (read), synthesized (written to) and accurately copied with ease. DNA is also incredibly stable, as has been demonstrated by the complete genome sequencing of a fossil horse that lived more than 500,000 years ago. And storing it does not require much energy.
But it is the storage capacity that shines. DNA can accurately stow massive amounts of data at a density far exceeding that of electronic devices. The simple bacterium Escherichia coli, for instance, has a storage density of about 1019 bits per cubic centimeter, according to calculations published in 2016 in Nature Materials by George Church of Harvard University and his colleagues. At that density, all the world’s current storage needs for a year could be well met by a cube of DNA measuring about one meter on a side.
The prospect of DNA data storage is not merely theoretical. In 2017, for instance, Church’s group at Harvard adopted CRISPR DNA-editing technology to record images of a human hand into the genome of E. coli, which were read out with higher than 90 percent accuracy. And researchers at the University of Washington and Microsoft Research have developed a fully automated system for writing, storing and reading data encoded in DNA. A number of companies, including Microsoft and Twist Bioscience, are working to advance DNA-storage technology.

Omicron…. Is the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet and is the number 70. It is a secret message. The 15th letter of our alphabet is o, add another o and you get the infinity symbol which is the next letter in the Greek alphabet Pi. Combine 15 and 70 you get 1570.

I can’t help but wonder if we are being played for fools. Just do a little re-arranging to the word Omicron and what do you get?
MORONIC
Is it just a coincidence?

Hahaha haha ho ho ho. No coal this year, global warming. Covid balls instead.
And schweaty covid balls at that.
HA . . . nice.
No cases of Omicron variant yet . But as soon as they find some, Trumpflake ignoramuses will set about eagerly breathing it in everyone’s faces.
What did you think they were going to do, tell the world that it showed up here first?
They didn’t do it the last time, what makes you think they would do it this time?
Ohhhh, bless your little heart!
“Trumpflake ignoramuses”
Kym I understand TDS is very prevalent, even a year after Trump’s presidency. I was jus curious, is the term “Biden voting douchebags” acceptable? Serious question. The devolving, opaque set of seperate rules is hard to keep up with.
Again, speaking in general terms like ‘Liberalism is a mental disorder’ is acceptable.
For some reason you have trouble grasping this when it comes to others but no problem when it comes to what you post?
TDS swings both ways.
You are deranged to ignore a coup attempt.
Coup… lol. That wasn’t a coup. Just a peaceful protest. No different than dozens of cities last year being peacefully protested in… such as the Northwest for example.
No need to over react.
Oh what happens to the super scary MU variant?
Lambda variant ?
What happened to the scary Delta variant? Oh yeah. It filled hospitals.
MU came after delta and was supposed to be super duper scary though! Don’t you remember?
Lambda, too.
Omicron is a little more unpredictable though, I think…
That’s a lot of spike protein mutations in not enough time.
I don’t think this is just a mutation.
This is a totally different, human engineered, incarnation.
It’s a new release, coming soon, to a theater near you.
Apparently, instead of an RO of 1.5, it has a RO of 2.
Hard to say what the incubation period is. Delta’s is 2-3 days.
What’s RO?
R-naught.
It’s a measurement of contagiousness.
Basically, it means that each person, infected with Omicron, will infect an average of 2 other people.
Thank you guest. Perhaps you can teach hmm how to answer an “ignorant” question. No offense to Mr giant squirrel; I’m learning too.
🎅🎅Back to the same old conspiracies I see.🎄🎄
You’re all in with “the bat kissed the pangolin creating covid” theory? Seems unlikely with the closest natural covid variant existing in the wild thousands of miles from Wuhan but the bioweapons lab studying covid is just down the street.
[edit]Pangolins we’ll eat there food off the floors of caves and in the Asian area of the world most caves are inhabited by bats. There not like humans and cross procreate with others outside of their own kind. [edit]
What’ve the humans been cross procreating with now?
🎅🎅Well if you live on a ranch or your a woodsman it could be just about anything if your a Jethro. 👁👁
I do have hope that this variant will be both mild enough not to kill anti vaxxers and those to whom they spread disease yet contagious enough that most of them will get it and develop some immunity to the other variants. So far they have stubbornly believed in their own invulnerability when mostly they simply had not yet been exposed. Heaven knows they were never going to listen about vaccination to anyone other than fellow conspiracy nuts.
https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-business-health-1193e06ba05cab1a3941387b226cd5ab
The only question is whether omicron is universally as mild an infection as has been reported and, if it is, whether it conveys enough immunity that more severe variants are no longer so dangerous. Then, despite the damaging idiocy of anti vaxxer beliefs, maybe covid can be put behind us.
None of the variants will “kill anti-vaxxers “, at least not more than about .5% of them. Why do you have such a hard time with that whole IFR thing?
I guess you missed the Fauci memo.
Covid19 ain’t going away.
Well, if it has an R0 of 2 it won’t out compete delta. Delta’s R0 is somewhere between 5 and 8 depending on which studies you read.
Not all hospitals. Just the ones running understaffed.
I just love it when the anti vaxxer misinformation machine has been in overdrive long enough that someone has already put up a fact check on them. Saves me mountains of time. “The claim that hospitals aren’t “overrun” by COVID-19, they’re understaffed, is PARTLY FALSE, based on our research. Hospitals across the country are spread thin by both COVID-19 and understaffing; the two variables work together to create the burdens hospitals are facing, experts say.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/09/24/fact-check-hospitals-nationwide-both-overrun-and-understaffed/5700211001/
Thank you for confirming my comment. Not that I asked you to, but thank you just the same.
“It filled hospitals.”
With vaccinated people. How’s the booster? Any side effects?
igorchudov.substack.com/p/hospitals-full-of-vaccinated-patients” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener nofollow ugc”>Hospitals full of vaccinated patients – by Igor Chudov – Igor’s Newsletter (substack.com)
So when the efficacy of vaccination wanes, they become as bad as those who just refuse vaccination? How insulting. It’s also not true even if the numbers of vaccinated in hospitals are increasing. “However, during the assessed period, rates of new cases increased among both unvaccinated and fully vaccinated adults, with lower relative rates among fully vaccinated persons. ”

LOL. Well if Igor Chudov says it’s so, well that settles it! Who the hell is Igor Chudov?
Just gonna leave this here…
They skipped a letter and I can’t imagine why 😂
But they skipped Nu, too.
I thought we settled all this last dashboard article….I feel like I am in a time loop.
People be like a day late a dollar short.
Your being generous!!!
Fake Nu’s?
Yep.
Would’ve been kinda hard the next variant to come up with a bullshit excuse for the useful idiots to consume had they not skipped Nu.
Whoah! Groundhog Saturday!
🎅🎅Nope it’s next Wednesday. 🎁🎁
Huh? Yeah whatever! We all know it’s here in the USA maybe not Humboldt yet but it’s here. Just hasn’t come up in a test yet. Today added Germany United Kingdom and Italy. Yesterday saw Israel and Belgium added. It’s here . Don’t fool yourself
That’s for sure. I wonder if they have even begun testing for it?
I wonder if all of our tests for Omicron are somehow faulty, or if they are only testing for it if someone is both symptomatic, AAND, just got back from South Africa, or have been a close contact of someone who has…
Just like before…
Because… Of Course….
There is no way it has been here the longest… Unh, Unh, uhhh.
And so far today add Austria and the Czech Republic to the list of countries with cases of the Omicron variant….https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/As-omicron-variant-is-detected-around-the-world-16656611.php
Oops! Add Australia and The Netherlands….It is here too- expect that announcement any day. Please don’t fool yourself or others
The Netherlands! So the secret message embedded in Omicron is coming true….I knew it..

We are officially becoming anti-democratic as a nation.
apart from baseless accusations of Trump’s authoritarian intentions, government control of intimate details of our lives is far more widespread under Biden.
That’s a cute way of ignoring an attempted coup.
Led by a Buffalo hatted mentally ill self- described “shamon” and without any guns? The closest thing we’ve seen of an attempted coup was Hillary’s Russian collusion hoax yet the collaborators, Hillary herself, have yet to answer for their crimes.
No.
Led by the President.
A former General Mike Flynn
Breitbart extremist Steve Bannon.
Former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani.
People in the West Wing like Meadows and fake politicians like Greene and Boebert and others.

🎅🎅You know four of the leaders of the Proud Boys were Iranians?🍗🍗
Justice Department charges 2 Iranians who pretended to be Proud Boys, sent Republican officials a fake ballot fraud video, and threatened tens of thousands of Democratic voters
https://www.businessinsider.com/doj-indicts-2-iranians-pretended-proud-boys-2020-election-interference-2021-11
As part of a broader voter intimidation effort, the department says, the pair posed as a “group of Proud Boys volunteers” and created a fabricated video depicting a person hacking state voter websites and using the information obtained to create fake absentee ballots.
The video was then distributed in October 2020 to Republican members of the House and Senate, White House officials, former President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, and members of the media. An accompanying message warned of Democratic efforts to exploit “serious security vulnerabilities,” capitalizing on Trump’s rhetoric against mail-in balloting during the 2020 campaign.
That same month, hackers also allegedly sent intimidating emails to tens of thousands of registered Democrats, threatening them with violence if they didn’t switch parties and vote for Trump.

Willie, thanks.
I wasn’t aware that Trump, Lindell, Boebert, Rudy, Greene and commentors here were duped by such losers.
Is that what Joy told you?
No.
That’s what you just learned from me.
It confirms a few things about who you are.
The Taliban taking over the Afghani Palace (with Xiden’s help) is what a real coup looks like.
Jan 6th was a bunch of unarmed protesters that were allowed into the capitol. There was no attempt by the .gov to even try to stop them…..
Truth, yet you’ve wasted your time.
You’ve gotta love the way CNN was right there on the inside of the Capital to interview the woman they promised a big story.
🎅🎅Here we go again. ☃️☃️
Baseless….you are kidding. Not admitting you lost the election is authoritarian to the max.
Why would media and tech suppress the truth about the Hunter laptop story? In the interest of transparency or manipulation of the American public for their own selfish purposes?
Your ridiculous to think it’s not the democratic controlled media with there biased news that trump referred to as fake news. Fake news is literally the news article propaganda that you are reposting. How do people not see that our country is under siege by people like Biden and the sheep keep following and pushing it. I don’t think these people are dumb but just identify themselves as part of this liberal democratic movement boo hoo feel sorry for yourself and everyone attitude and your being played by the democratic politicians that are clearly pretending to help the people while pushing an alternate agenda and supporters of this can’t give it up because sometimes a lot of people can’t admit they are wrong. People should try admitting they are wrong and it will never work and to do the math to what it will end up doing to the world in the future. Because in the end others see right through it and you end up only lying only to yourselves. Democrats are destroying all of our freedoms not republicans. Biden has done nothing he had promised his followers. Minimum wage ? Now an infrastructure plan that will be paid by go after citizens to collect more taxes . The infrastructure is obviously only going to benefit medical corporations and retail corporations such as Amazon to create autonomous infrastructure. So in the end the corporation’s will own the entire economy and we will all be given government checks because there is no more room for us to make money. This all equals communism. Biden won’t even help with the frieghtship problem because it’s being created by people that are in control because guess what Amazon has its own ports . Open your eyes it’s happening.

a refuge of freedom, they don’t realize the progressives are turning the north into what the south is trying to leave.
Wow.
You really hate brown people.
Because you never mention that Europeans over staying are the biggest part of illegal immigration.
All you do is ramble in a circle about:
Biden. Laptop. Hillary. Media. Border. Biden. Laptop. Hillary. Border. Biden. Laptop…..
So on.
I love most brown people. I have as many close brown friends as white ones, and we all together have chosen to be an extended family.
That doesn’t even count all the diverse nationalities I’ve worked with and became friends with in all my years living and working in SF.
So, I ask…..
Biden. Laptop. Hillary. Media. Border. Biden. Laptop. Hillary.
Which one of those are brown people?
People from Eastern Europe are also coming over the southern border, from as far away as the Ukraine, didn’t you know? The media represents all colors, and Rachel Madwoman and Joy Behr ain’t brown.
Nice try, I mean nice lie though.

Did you look at who wrote that report TRB?
A GLOBAL group of non-elected leftists got together to make a report with the intention of elevating their own relevance by passing judgment on the nations of the world.
You really believe Globalists care about you and Humboldt County? Because I believe they care about making themselves SEEM important enough to carve out a place of power for themselves in the NWO they think is coming.
Basically, the report is an anti Trump hit piece,
They hate him because he doesn’t buy into his NWO scenario and that messes with their power and money control.
Democracy is the last thing they care about.
That doesn’t mean Trump is good, but neither are they.
🎅🎅Your stuck in a circle of hate like Trump and it’s gonna chew you up. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
You’re stuck judging people you know nothing about.
No worries Willie, ultimately it reflects on you, not me.
Being able to tell when things are working and when they aren’t, doesn’t make me a Trump loyalist, just someone who doesn’t want our country to keep heading into the sinkhole Biden is pushing us into.
🎅🎅But you choose to support a bully and his ideas. We’re falling apart trying to put together the mess he left behind. Open your eyes. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
Maybe it’s worse than that Willie.
There are those who want us to head in that direction.
Well, yeah. Brown people overran their home countries.

Liberalism,,,,,it’s a mental disorder!
Liberalism….it’s the American Constitution that extremist right wingers want to destroy.
Lol! The right espouses the Constitution as written. The left finds stuff in there that isn’t. I know damned well that our founding fathers didn’t expect vermin on the left to declare that the constitution says it’s okay to kill millions of our unborn children. Many of them black and brown unborn children that you seem to stand up for in some comments above.
Liberalism is a virus that is much more dangerous to people than COVID. Especially unborn children of color!

Chief White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci said in an interview aired on Sunday that he believes people will have to begin “living with COVID,” expressing doubts that the virus will be eradicated.
Unfortunately, we seem to be stuck with Fauci, as well. He refuses to go away.
Seems lockdowns and closing the world’s economies accomplished little but advance dependency on government handouts. Are we destined to widespread socialism and rule by oligarchs? What’s our weekly ration of vodka or will it be fentanyl? 11,000 pounds of fentanyl caught coming through Biden’s porous southern border yesterday. I thought a few here claimed the fentanyl came direct from China, not across the southern border?
🎅🎅Most does come through ports of entry. Talk to the DEA. ☃️☃️
DEA website says fentanyl primarily smuggled through Mexico.
“Illicit fentanyl, primarily manufactured in foreign clandestine labs and smuggled into the United States through Mexico, is being distributed across the country and sold on the illegal drug market.”
🎅🎅I call bullshit on you I’ve watched three major events of them seizing fentanyl at ports of entry. Do really think that all the fentanyl here in the United States is humped across the boarder on someone’s back, get real. We may not agree on a lot of things but I thought you had better commen sense than that. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
Fentanyl seizures at U.S. southern border rise dramaticallyFederal agents say the powerful synthetic opioid is becoming a drug of choice for the cartels because it’s highly profitable and easier to smuggle.
June 29, 2021, 4:59 PM PDT
By Gabe Gutierrez and Al Henkel
EL PASO, Texas — Federal agents in this section of the southern border say they’ve seen a staggering 4,000 percent increase in fentanyl seizures over the last three years.
Those busts are not at ports of entry, where most smuggled drugs are typically found. The Border Patrol says the rising amount of fentanyl is being found in the desert – transported by increasingly brazen smugglers who are exploiting stretched federal resources.
In 2018, the Border Patrol in the El Paso sector found just one pound of fentanyl outside ports of entry. In 2019, two pounds. In 2020, nine.
During the 2021 fiscal year, agents have found 41 pounds so far – a dramatic rise that experts attribute to the increasing role in drug cartels producing the illicit drug themselves with raw materials from China. The sharp rise from 2018 to 2020 suggests the coronavirus pandemic did not artificially inflate the 2021 numbers.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, two milligrams of fentanyl can be lethal, depending on a person’s body size. One kilogram of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people. A kilogram is roughly 2.2 pounds.
“For the first time, we’re starting to see these tactics where fentanyl is being smuggled between ports of entry,” Chief Border Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez said in an interview. “Cartels are very creative. They find ways to intimidate migrants and find ways to illegally have them transport that narcotic into the United States.”
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/fentanyl-seizures-u-s-southern-border-rise-dramatically-n1272676
🎅🎅Pounds compared to tons that come in through shipping. Do really think there that stupid. What they bust at the boarder is pocket change compared to what slips through the ports. Seen in the the News all those ships setting off the California coast needing to be unloaded,I’ll bet you that as soon as they start moving fentanyl sells and deaths will increase. ☃️☃️

A present wave of democratic erosion around the globe is part of a larger historic cycle of progress and regression, according to the author of a report released this week designating U.S. democracy as “backsliding” for the first time.
“There is a mimicking effect that also comes into play, which we saw from the mid-1970s onwards in the world, a third wave of democratization. What we are clearly seeing now is a reverse wave,” says Annika Silva-Leander, who authored the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance’s annual report on the Global State of Democracy. “Less countries (are) becoming democratic (and those) that are democratic (are) declining in quality. Therefore, their models and systems are discredited…The democratic world is quite fragmented right now.”

Our democracy transformed into an authoritarian government as a direct result of our education, free press, and tech transforming into propaganda arms of the leftist cabal. Can any sane person not see the bias they inject in their teaching, reporting, and allowed content? What became of free speech and the press questioning authority? How far will the people allow authoritarianism to progress before we push back? We’d be better off under the CCCP than our self serving elitist cabal.
Your right . Any one who argues your point is a liberal sheep that won’t admit they are wrong . Democrats are ruining this country. They never admit they are wrong. It’s a literal sickness far more deadly than covid ever will be .
39% of Americans agree with your four down voters and continue to support Biden’s puppetmasters, the rest of us still have the ability for rational and independent thought.
You are placing to much Impetuous on those votes, they can be manipulated. I want a recount.
Yup, yup, yup and yup. Behind every Democrat, there’s an authoritarian screaming to get out.
Two down votes disagree the press is generally biased left or agree but support the “by any means” mentality, even if it takes destruction of our once great democracy?
Restrictions on voting, banning and burning books, restricting education….
That’s all authoritarianism.
Led by the Republicans.
More Global controller propaganda intending to do away with nations promoting a false promise of global utopia..
21 countries in Africa are in violent chaos, what have the globalists done to help end the wars and chaos?
Fauci says we’ll never eliminate covid so we’ll need to live with it. Does he expect us to wear masks forever? Get annual boosters? Or just live or die, Darwin’s way you might say?
Fauci just confirmed the Omicron prophesy. COVID-19 is endless and we need to ban Dutch (the Netherlands) people.
You all thought I was mad. Well who is laughing now. “Manically laughing, ha ha ha ha ha”
What else is hidden in there?
Flog that mule, we have to keep this up until the mid-terms. It’s all about mail in ballots. Yee Haw
That’s “funny”, because Oregon has all vote by mail for 23 years…and yet still has Covid mandates, mask or otherwise. So does Washington.
Btw, mail in voting is freaking awesome.
It is awesome, too bad it’s also awesome for liars, cheaters, and thieves.
🎅🎅You guys get worse as Trump gets weaker. What a shame. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
I guess everyone has seen how Biden / Harris is doing across the polls except you.
🚽 flush please!
🎅🎅Oh I agree there not doing great it doesn’t always look pretty when you have to clean up someone else’s mess. 🎅🎅
The fact is 81 million American voters, a record for any President, voted not necessarily for Biden, but necessarily against Trump and authoritarianism.
What mess? Trump created the strongest economy in history and the lowest gas prices in twenty years. He stood his ground against every problematic foreign country. Secured our borders from the free for all that the Democrats create. Created the lowest unemployment rate in over twenty years or more. The only mess is the massive one Biden has created in a year in office that the next three generations will be trying to fix.
Remind me who was at the helm when the economy was ruined by Covid19? Not to mention all the lives lost.
He kinda let us get blindsided while totally unprepared, didn’t he?
Yes, of course, masterfully done, masterfully done…
I don’t think we could have taken much more of that.
What a mess…
It will never get cleaned up.
Covid dipped the economy not trump and it was still much much better than after Obama’s eight years. He’s the one who put into action the fastest created vaccine in history. Obama created the low stockpile of medical emergency supplies. How can you blame anything on him. No one knew the extent of this. And he had to deal with Fauci who is an obvious snake in the grass.
🎅🎅The fall of the economy was caused by Trump and he made us the laughing stock around the world. He didn’t do nothing for unemployment he was driving the farmer poor and again he’s the reason we’re in an economic mess with all the tariffs. That’s what drove prices up. He was a name calling bully and that’s it. He wouldn’t survive even trying to run for a another term. 3 out of 4 Senators he backed in the last 4 months lost he’s dwindling his ship is sinking further his own family doesn’t even want anything to do with him. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
Trump the laughing stock ? I don’t agree, I’d say our decrepit sleeping pants pooping president is the laughing stock. The borders are being flooded because of the weak president we have. Any president would be better than Biden.
🎅🎅He still is the laughing stock. Got played by North Korea got played by China her road the coat tails of the Obama economy and tried his best to pick apart every that did keep it steady. It wasn’t rocket speed but it was steady growth. And yes Covid has been the big factor in the economy but he lied to us and delayed crucial medical care at the beginning and denied it even was happening. Then snunk around everyone’s back and got vaccinated. He told 300 lies a day you couldn’t believe what was coming out of his mouth. Did you ever take him up on his disinfectant recommendation?🦸♂️🦸♂️
Ever found a politician who doesn’t lie, take advantage of their position or “snuck around?” It’s innate to the job. No one wins an election by being truthful to those who don’t like what they hear. Obama was no better – he was just better at not saying anything when he gave speeches. Then he did what he never got around to mentioning.
The thing I liked about Trump was that, while he was likely to say anything, he was more likely to actually do the best that could be done. And when he was not engaged in demagoguery, he was pretty right on. Too many people listened to the words but ignored what was actually done, just like they were soothed by Obama’s words when they would have objected to his actions had he bothered to tell anyone. It’s not that Trump was such a liar as much as he was a bad liar. Obama was just better at lying. Trump had a hard time keeping his mouth shut. Trump was irritating. Obama was soothing. But both lied constantly.
Still not a fan, but, best defense I’ve heard for the chump yet. And I agree, they all lie.
I couldn’t stand Trump and his arrogant reality show, but I started watching how rocket man stopped with the blast offs that scared the poop out of Hawaii, and the country started recovering economically.
Companies started bringing back manufacturing.
He stared letting black people out of jail that had shown promise in their lives while incarcerated.
Compare just that, and so much more with Hillary’s bought and paid for coup and Biden’s hiding in the basement using C-19 to get elected by promoting fear, ignoring the economic destruction, there’s no comparison as to who did a better job.
Maybe someone can tell me in 16 years in office how the Clinton’s and Obama’s helped brown people.
Trump held a rally with Alex Jones @ Capital to start a steal.
First President to deny a peaceful transition of power.
Covid culture war creator.
Please, just please.
🎅🎅I will agree with you that for a politician to get elected they lie or make promises that they can not keep. Trump tried to take credit for other people’s work just because they worked for him but wait a minute they all do that to. Damn it. ☃️☃️
And they stopped laughing and started crying when they saw Biden betray them, Just ask France, Canada and those trapped in Afghanistan. Not to mention the oil disaster he created for the EU, and the USA.
Then there’s the looting, murder, drugs, and businesses he’s killing.
So, what’s better?
🎅🎅No one asks them to stay and we weren’t there to hold there hands. Afghanistan people didn’t want us there either. They wanted are money and are toys but not us physically we influence them to much. ☃️☃️
Yep, Hillary’s mess is a bitch to clean up.
🎅🎅Boy you need to come into the present and quit living in the past that’s old and buried news. 🦸♂️🦸♂️
We’ve always had absentee ballots but to just mail ballots to everyone’s last address delivers many to the wrong hands

No detected cases. Lol. It supposedly spread faster than delta where it originated, so is likely already on our shores, but will take a few weeks- months to become dominant if it’s the fittest version of the virus now. Just remains to be seen if it will out compete delta and if vaccines are ineffective against it.

Biden to delay suspending unvaccinated federal workers until after holidaysThe White House’s Office of Management and Budget is telling federal agencies they should hold off on suspending or firing federal workers for not complying with the vaccine mandate until after the holidays, according to a memo obtained by ABC News.
This change, which has not yet been publicly announced, comes as President Joe Biden is putting pressure on private employers to embrace their own vaccine mandates.

Severity of SARS-CoV-2 Reinfections as Compared with Primary Infections
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2108120
As has been repeatedly said, all you have to do is survive the first one without damage. Oh and avoid getting older with a weaker immune system. All the vaccine does is give a running start on survival from the first infection. It doesn’t guarantee more. But no dying straight off is a good thing.
No guarantee from you, or anyone else.
No guarantee at all, just lies and opinions manipulated into policy.
How is it possible to miss that important point?
like missing a meal, your responsibility to keep the bullshit topped off, so you don’t have to feel hunger.
“All the vaccine does is give a running start on survival from the first infection”
A bit of bait and switch from the original advertising, don’t ya think?
I remember a you can’t get it or spread it campaign.
Now we hear if you get a Booster for your Booster you can walk around indoors if you wear a mask. Yet the people telling us that are still partying indoors in crowds un-masked.
So if my risk from the first infection is minimal then I should be forced to be vaccinated because why?
Well put – the vaccine improves the outcome first time you catch covid and you improve your immunity for the next exposure at the same time.

Maybe it will help with it’s detection.
There is no doubt in my mind it is already here.
It is just not being acknowledged,
as just another form of deception.
