Omicron Today, Tomorrow and Forever!
We need natural health, not more medicine!
Some might ask what the relevance of Omicron is to a health blog. The subject could not be more applicable because it is about a war - one that pits choice versus forceful coercion, natural means versus medicine. Without choice, you cannot have natural health because those things which you value most are taken from you.
Perhaps you still think you have a choice, but that assumption flies in the face of current evidence. As of January 2022, here are countries mandating (forcing) vaccines onto their populations:
** Austria: all over 14s from February 2022; holdouts can be fined up to 3,600 euros every 3 months read more
** Ecuador: obligatory, except for people who have a relevant medical condition or incompatibility read more
** Germany: plans to make mandatory for all adults from February read more
** Indonesia: all adults, with fines or refusal of social assistance or government services for the unvaccinated.
** Micronesia: all adults
** Tajikistan: all over 18s
** Turkmenistan: all over 18s
** Coming soon to a country you live in!
Now you may agree with vaccinations, and that’s your choice. Remember, that choice has been fought and died for and it applies to both sides of the debate, including those refusing the vaccine. This is especially so now that Omicron has been reduced to what is essentially a flu bug.
But, here we go again. The CDC sent the latest Covid data and surprise, it’s highly alarming. It starts with the sentence, “Resolve to be Safe”, because, well you know, there is no more safety. COVID-19 cases continue to increase rapidly across the United States, driven by the Omicron variant, which CDC’s Nowcast model projects may account for approximately 95 percent of cases. On January 5, 705,264 new cases were reported, more than doubling the January 2021 peak, the CDC adds.
This is no surprise. Here Trevor Bedford (on Twitter) explains how it works:
While this looks alarming, these are case counts, not death counts. At the outset of Covid, we had an incessant death count thrown at us by the hour, but now mortality is so low, we hear only that hospitalizations are on the rise.
But even that assumptions seems wrong. Israel, for example, continues to see far fewer critically ill patients, despite breaking its record of cases:
Wave 3 (Alpha)
Peak cases: 8000
Peak daily critical ill:170
Wave 4 (Delta)
Peak cases: 10000
Peak daily critically ill: 100
Wave 5 (Omicron)
Cases: 12000
Daily critically ill: 20
Two large studies from the U.K. and South Africa also agree; it appears Omicron has between 40 to 75 percent reduced risk of hospitalizations. And healthy people are largely surviving Omicron because it’s mild; there is no need for a vaccine or a booster, that does not stop transmission. In fact, there is even evidence that the vaccinated are catching Omicron more easily!
Unfortunately, of the few dying (as with Alpha and Delta) many are also citizens w/4 + comorbidities. This is devastating and a sad commentary of our sick society and our government’s wholly unacceptable Covid response.
Maybe they should try a common sense approach like the El Salvador government which is encouraging a healthy diet, exercise, bodyweight management and lifestyle change to combat Codid-19 and other diseases - English subtitles included:
That’s not good enough for the CDC though, who continue crying wolf without evidence. And the CBC says the newest variant is a warning about what will continue to happen "unless we really get serious about the endgame”, but then state that COVID will be with us forever.
The late comedian Gilda Radner often used one of her catch phrases: It’s Always Something. To me, this something is a deliberate political manipulation. It seems a 15 percent mortality increase just isn’t enough, it has to be the most super-colossal increase in history. Why? Fear mongering sells medicine folks and they’re not done shoveling it onto the public!
