Here’s What We Know About The COVID “Omicron” Strain – A Scared Nu World

Omicron B.1.1.529 variant

This is where individuals need to muster critical thinking and to be skeptical and untrusting of any news source (BIG MEDIA)  the CDC, 

  1. Is this a hyped up fake variant to increase government’s control of the people with a new vaccine, lock-downs and more mandates?
  2. If real, this proves current vaccine strategy is a failure since a new vaccine would have to be developed and provided worldwide, so where does it stop?  
  3. Omicron is a re-branded covid variant just in time for Christmas lockdowns.  Do not comply!
  • Vaccine-Only Failure – The Biden administration was myopically focused on the vaccine only strategy. (Read Article)

From Zero Hedge…

Summarizing of our post from last might (which we urge everyone to read) for those who are just now waking up to the global chaos resulting from the B.1.1.529 variant, which today got the Greek letter designation Omicron…. skipping the widely expected letter Nu (and certainly the one following it, Xi), here is what we know, courtesy of Newsquawk, Credit Suisse and Citi.

Background

  • Regarded as the most heavily mutated variant of the Coronavirus, thus far, as it has 32 mutations in the spike protein and 50 overall. More specifically, scientists have highlighted that there are 10 mutations vs 2 in the Delta variant regarding the receptor binding domain, which is the portion of the virus that makes initial contact with cells.
  • The Omicron variant was identified 5 days ago initially in Botswana with subsequent confirmation and sequencing in South Africa with about 100 confirmed cases. Cases have been detected in Israel and Hong Kong and as of this morning, in Belgium.
  • Sequencing data suggests 8.1.1.529 has a different evolutionary pathway, but shares a few common mutations with the C.1.2, Beta and Delta variants.
  • That said, as we cautioned last night, a significant number of mutations may not necessarily be a ‘negative’ as it is dependent on how these mutations function, which scientists are yet to establish. Then again, since it is the job of science to fearmonger so that Pfizer can buy an even bigger yacht, assume it will be “very very horrifying” until proven innocuous.

Is it more deadly

  • It is currently too early to determine if the new variant has higher mortality than previous variants. Reported cases only started rising in South Africa on 19 November, so any impact on hospitalizations and COVID-related deaths will not have yet emerged.
