Omicron is Mild. Or it’s Not.

Once again, the news about coronavirus is proving itself unreliable. A study from England says Omicron is no milder than Delta. Scary. But in South Africa, where the Omicron wave started manifesting on tests on about November 22, doctors say the hospitalization rate for Omicron is much, much lower than it was for Delta. The stats also suggest the Omicron wave is already ending. There is a well-defined peak in the curve, and it happened days ago. Since then, the curve has dropped off quickly.

Sometimes coronavirus waves have multiple peaks, so maybe Omicron will rebound in South Africa, but things look good now. South Africa has had three other waves, and for some reason, they don’t have multiple peaks. No idea why that happened.

South African doctors say the measured hospitalization rate for Omicron is 1.7% now, and comparing apples to apples, the rate for Delta at the same point in its wave was 19%. So they’re measuring a 90% drop in severity, as measured by hospital admissions. And the death rate is not going up along with the case rate.

No one can really say how many cases there are in South Africa or the UK, and no one really knows how many are Omicron, but if Omicron weren’t mild, we ought to have some evidence by now.

Who is right? THE SCIENCE in England says we’re all doomed. THE SCIENCE in South Africa says Omicron is about like a cold, and it says Omicron might function as a natural vaccine that will make coronavirus nearly harmless. Sure, England’s SCIENCE is based on a study, but South Africa has had Omicron longer, and its doctors are well able to tell the difference between full ICU beds and empty ones.

I think Omicron is milder. I am perfectly happy to assign my own judgment more value than that of the physicians who did the UK study. Doctors are notorious for being bad statisticians. They have told us no end of stupid things based on bad methodology. They used rabbits to predict that eating eggs caused vascular disease in humans. They did a study on bird owners and determined that parrots caused lung cancer, failing to mention the fact that the overwhelming majority of people in the study smoked cigarettes.

I don’t understand the medical establishment. On the one hand, it does brilliant and truly amazing things every day, but on the other, its stupid mistakes keep piling up, along with the bodies of people who listen to its bad advice.

Right now, it’s the medical establishment that tells people to castrate their sons and turn them into freaks, simply because sexual deviation is now considered chic. That’s something to think about when you read coronavirus news. In response to modern medicine’s insanity, many people have said something like this: “when I was 8, I put on a dress and told my parents I was a girl, and they told me to knock it off and waited for it to pass, which it did.” It’s a lot easier to take a dress off than it is to sew your discarded, incinerated penis back on.

But psychiatrists, endocrinologists, and surgeons are getting their big fees, so there is an up side to all of this. The craziness is helping BMW and Mercedes dealers stay in business.

A doctor who helps a confused boy remove his genitals should have his own genitals removed if the boy changes his mind after surgery. If we made them do that, they would be a lot more careful about their decisions.

Omicron is milder than Delta, with or without vaccination. This is my official prediction, based on news stories and my own hunch. If I turn out to be wrong, it won’t matter, because no one listens to me, but I felt like blogging it before all the news comes in. Let’s see what happens.

If the downward turn in the South African curve is predictive, then a more surprising outcome is on the way. Omicron might only last a month wherever it hits. I mean the first Omicron wave. That would be interesting. I thought it would affect more people.

Here’s something truly weird: Zambia seems to be leveling off. Zambia went from near-zero covid to around 1,000 cases per day, very quickly. Now it seems to be plateauing. My wife shows me stats from inside Zambia, and the infection rate doesn’t seem to be increasing any more. Maybe it’s just a lull, but based on what happened in South Africa, maybe it isn’t.

New York State has the same population as Zambia. New York’s last daily figure was over 28,000. New Yorkers live with oppressive anti-coronavirus laws, and Zambians don’t do a whole lot to protect themselves. Their vaccination rate is tiny. What is the explanation for New York’s higher infection numbers?

Other Christian African countries are still experiencing very low numbers. The USA, which is the world’s most forceful advocate of homosexuality and other sexual aberrations, and which uses harsh economic punishments to coerce Christian nations to follow suit, is still the world’s biggest covid reservoir. Our death number is almost twice India’s, and India has a billion people and a bad public health system.

Maybe it’s a coincidence, but African countries that acknowledge Jesus and discourage perversion, and which have had national days of prayer which were proclaimed by their governments, are still experiencing protection rich, sick America isn’t getting.

They’re telling us the Johnson & Johnson shot, which I received, is no good against Omicron. They’re also saying we shouldn’t take it in the future because of a risk of blood clots. At the same time, the mRNA shots have been found to damage genes in ways that prevent damaged DNA from being repaired correctly. The pro-hysteria press isn’t making much of the mRNA-shot problem. Is it because the damage isn’t harmful, or are we witnessing the usual press dishonesty?

I am no doctor, but how can it be a good thing if damaged DNA puts itself together in the wrong way? When I was young, I was taught that this is how cancer and birth defects were caused. For example, I was taught that some radiation particles sever DNA strands, and faulty repair leads to cancer. Isn’t it important to have DNA in good working order? Various websites say it is. It seems self-evident, but I know nearly nothing about DNA.

I know my wife and I will not be taking mRNA shots. The press has lied to the world over and over, as have governments, as has the medical establishment, and they have also spread misinformation unintentionally. Only an idiot would trust the news without investigating. If billions of people now have genetic damage that prevents proper repair to corrupted DNA, how can it be a good thing? What if a cancer pandemic or a birth defect pandemic is on the way?

When my mother was carrying me, she had morning sickness, so her doctor recommended thalidomide. Thalidomide! Go Google the word and look at the pictures. That could have been me, with one twisted flipper instead of four normal limbs. She had a mysterious bad feeling about it and refused to take it. I have a bad feeling about mRNA shots, but unlike my mother, I have facts to back my feeling up.

Thalidomide was rigorously tested before it was released for sale, but somehow, it didn’t occur to the manufacturer to test it on pregnant women. An American FDA employee, Dr. Frances Kelsey, had a problem with that, so she held up approval and prevented a catastrophe. The mRNA shot hasn’t been tested on pregnant women, either. It was rushed, so we don’t know what the long-term effects may be, and science isn’t advanced enough to let us guess. Most people who have gotten the mRNA shots haven’t had time to get pregnant and have a baby since they were injected, and the vaccines were developed in less than 9 months, so we know Pfizer and Moderna have no data. They’ll have it in a couple of years, though. Babies are being born.

Vaccine recipients also haven’t had time to develop cancer.

Thalidomide was not FDA-approved when my mother’s doctor tried to prescribe it. Nonetheless, for some reason, it was released on the American public for testing purposes, by doctors who were just as serious and highly trained as doctors are today. I guess lab rats were considered too expensive. Over 1,200 American doctors were given thalidomide, and incredibly, they prescribed it even though they knew the FDA had problems with it. They only managed to create 17 deformed living children in America, as contrasted with the 10,000 that were born in Germany. I could have been number 18.

I’m not exactly excited about blood clots, but that ship has sailed. The establishment says the risk passes after 28 days, and my shot was in April, so I’m not lying awake nights, but I am reluctant to take a booster, and my wife flat-out refuses.

The funny thing is, I want to be vaccinated. I sound like an anti-vaxxer, but I was very happy to get injected when Johnson & Johnson’s shot became available. I get flu shots. I tried to get a pneumonia shot, but they wouldn’t give it to me. I’m planning to get a shingles shot. I just don’t want shots that could be more dangerous than coronavirus.

I wish I could just trust the press and my government, but it’s impossible. The press is squashing stories about the big coronavirus riots in Europe, and our government officials aren’t talking about them either. They’ve hidden a huge story from hundreds of millions of people. If they can do that, imagine what else they can do. We wouldn’t know it if women in Europe were giving birth to chickens.

Freedom of information in America is an astounding, facially untenable delusion. Somehow most of us cling to it. Even with the Internet, which was supposed to be a gaping hole in our press’s wall of lies, we still have a hard time getting information about many things, and deliberate obstruction is the reason.

I know a vaccine isn’t the mark of the beast. I know it won’t make me magnetic. I know it doesn’t contain microchips. I’m not a conspiracy nut. I think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, I know the earth is round, I don’t think Antifa rioted at the Capitol, and I am positive Elvis is dead. On the other hand, I recognize a real conspiracy when I’m slapped in the face with it every day, and the unreliability of the carefully-shaped information that reaches us is beyond dispute.

I hope Omicron turns the hurricane of the pandemic into a mild drizzle. I have no doubt that coronavirus is an end-time teaching tool, and overall, I expect disease, hate, and shortages to increase, but that doesn’t mean this particular disease can’t lose its punch.

I think what a month from now, coronavirus will be much less scary than it is now, and it should give me and the wife an excellent opportunity to get together again with fewer rules and neurotic government obstruction. After that, maybe coronavirus may turn into something like a cold, which never disappears but almost never harms anyone. Or we could get a Pi variant which will make the Black Death look like hay fever.

I’m assuming there is no Chinese communist official named Pi. If so, the next variant will be called Ro. The last thing the WHO wants to do is offend the people who released this thing on the world and covered it up.

Chinese virus! Chinese virus! Kung flu! Shanghai shivers! Yes, the CCP has blood on its hands. I love saying it publicly. It’s not racist. The truth can’t be racist. Actually, leftists say math and logic are racist, so maybe the truth is racist after all.

That’s not a problem. We are well on the way to banning truth.
