White Smoke Emanates From Wuhan Lab Chimney Signaling A New Variant Has Been Named WUHAN—Thousands gathered outside the Wuhan Institute of Virology with faces of anxious anticipation over the weekend, as rumors had been circulating that a new COVID-19 variant would soon be named. The hopeful pilgrims' hours of waiting were not in vain. Cheers erupted as white smoke began pouring out of the chimney early Sunday morning, signaling the creation and naming of a new COVID-19 variant. "It was a lively debate," said one source from inside the Wuhan lab. "Yuhang suggested we just keep following the Greek alphabet and name it Xi. We haven't heard from him in a few days, come to think of it." "Nu" was also floated as a possibility, but scientists wanted to avoid the stigma of being associated with nu-metal, generally acknowledged as the worst musical genre on the planet. One guy kept wanting to call it "The One-Der Variant" but this was confusing as everyone kept pronouncing it as Oh-NEE-der instead of Wonder. Finally, there was a last-ditch effort to name it the Trump variant, but this was finally defeated in favor of the safer "Omicron variant" according to sources within the lab. After the celebration died down, the pilgrims shuffled away, their faces full of cheer. But they'll be back in a few weeks for the next one. https://babylonbee.com/news/wh...riant-has-been-named NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

Coming to a State near you? Officials in Mississippi say a new digital identification program will be available in the state as early as next month. The mobile ID can contain the user’s driver’s license and coronavirus vaccination card. "He says “From a law enforcement perspective, it will allow a law enforcement officer approaching the car to interact via Bluetooth with that phone so that they can know exactly who they’re dealing with before they even get to the car. And I think that’s a great feature for law enforcement, and it would be able to be utilized for any lawful purchase that you could otherwise use a regular ID.” https://www.mpbonline.org/blog...sippians-next-month/ Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." -- George Orwell | |||

Omicron Is "Extremely Mild" Says Doctor Who First Discovered Strain As Numerous Mutations "Destabilize" The Virus https://www.zerohedge.com/covi...n-numerous-mutations Then this morning, the Pretoria doctor who first sounded the alarm about the new strain and who is a Covid-19 adviser to the South Africa government said that symptoms linked to the omicron coronavirus variant have been mild so far. Contrary to the panicmongering unleashed by western mainstream median, Barry Schoub, chairman of the Ministerial Advisory Committee on Vaccines, told Sky News on Sunday that while South Africa, which first identified the new variant, currently has 3,220 people with the coronavirus infection overall and while the variant does appear to be spreading rapidly, there’s been no real uptick in hospitalizations more at link _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

^^^^ As is the case when factual data begins rolling in from actual reputable scientific minds around the world such as Israel, England, etc, the charlatans here in the states will paint the mild variant as somehow to be greatly feared to ramp up the panic machine. Gotta sell those $100 dollar boosters and get those cut little needles in infant arms! Fauci in fact says Americans should be prepared to do “anything and everything” to combat omicron. I swear, if I ever manage to somehow see this pos on the street, I won’t be able to control the urge to break his nose. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/...omicron-variant.html Americans need to be prepared to do "anything and everything" to fight the omicron Covid variant, U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday. Still, it's "too early to say" whether lockdowns or new mandates will be appropriate, Fauci said on ABC's "This Week." The World Health Organization last week classified omicron as a "variant of concern," meaning it is more contagious, more virulent or more skilled at evading public health measures, vaccines and therapeutics. The variant, first discovered in South Africa, has several mutations to the spike protein that allows the virus to enter the body, and some of those mutations could lead to increased antibody resistance and transmissibility. The U.S. had already said it would restrict travel for non-U.S. citizens from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi. The variant has been found in the U.K., Israel, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Australia and Hong Kong, but not yet in the U.S. "Inevitably, it will be here. The question is will we be prepared for it? If and when, and it's going to be when, it comes here hopefully we will be ready for it," Fauci added. Fauci will be meeting Sunday with President Joe Biden and the Covid response team to discuss the variant and the administration's response, a White House official said. Biotech companies have sprung into action to fight against omicron. Moderna's Chief Medical Officer Paul Burton said Sunday the vaccine maker could roll out a reformulated vaccine against the omicron coronavirus variant early next year. Although it's not clear whether new formulations will be needed or if current vaccines will provide appropriate protection. Fauci said unvaccinated people should still get available Covid vaccinations, per the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We just really need to, as I've said so often, prepare for the worst. And it may not be that we're going to have to go the route people are saying," Fauci told ABC. "We'll make decisions based on the science and evidence as we always do." “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

A really mild variant of covid that spreads like wildfire might be nature's vaccine. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." Mark Twain | |||

Yes, the new variant is much milder. And someone must have removed the letter "r". | |||

Evolutionarily speaking it makes sense for viruses to become less virulent. Killing your host isn’t the best strategy for replication and spreading. These go to eleven. | |||

Perhaps the medical folks can explain how the same variant can show up on multiple continents at once. If there is only 1 path for mutation then whats the big concern?

Para- Can we start a Sig Forum "Coronavirus" Pool? $50 for a square - what country the next variant comes from. Another $50 for the week that the next variant comes out. At least we can make some money off of this bullshit! ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

The leftists will have to really falsify numbers and ramp up "deaths" from this new COVID variant in order to get mail in voting again. The way things look to be shaping up for the dems in November 22, they better hurry up. Regards 18DAI 7+1 Rounds of hope and change | |||

^^ Don't know if it's connected or not, but Fauci was singing from the same hymnal in an interview with ABC today. He did mention that it's too early for mandates or lockdowns in response to the new Xi, er, sorry, Omicron variant, but
http://www.yahoo.com/news/1-u-...ainst-144033586.html What he didn't mention is why he thought that a combination of failed and overbearing policies would somehow work any better against the new variant than they had against previous variants. | |||

Hard Data Shows the Covid Vaccines Don’t Work By Vasko Kohlmayer The last several months have seen a heated debate about the effectiveness of the vaccines that are being currently administered against Covid-19. The question on many people’s minds is: Do these pharmaceuticals work? (Lot's of charts and graphs. Click on the link to see more... I'll skip ahead to the conclusions): CONCLUSION We have seen again and again record case counts in countries and regions with high vaccination rates. This shows that high vaccine uptake does not reduce the incidence of Covid 19. Not only do the vaccines not lower the incidence of this disease, they tend to correlate with its increase. As we have seen above, a number of countries have experienced record-breaking surges right after achieving high inoculation rates. Countries with vaccination rates of 65 percent or more should definitely not be in the pandemic or suffer surges. Yet they do, because “breakthrough” infections in the vaccinated are now very common and frequent. We do know for a fact that the vaccines do not prevent people from getting infected. This was confirmed in August by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky who openly admitted in a CNN interview that the vaccines can longer “prevent transmission.” With winter coming there is every reason to be deeply concerned, since the high vaccination rates and accompanying explosion in cases were for the most part achieved in the summer and early fall when the virus is weak. As countries in the northern hemisphere are entering the winter season and the death counts keep going up quickly, we seem to stand on the brink of an extremely difficult period in the months ahead. This situation exists despite the fact that many countries have achieved vaccination rates close to 70 percent. Europe’s average rate of full vaccination, for example, currently stands at 65.5 percent while 69.9 percent of Europeans have received at least one injection. Europe’s high vaccine uptake falls well within the herd immunity range specified earlier this year by Dr. Fauci and other experts. With such an inoculation rate the pandemic should be if not over, then definitely under control. Instead, it is out of control. Many European nations, as well as countries in other parts of the globe, are sounding the alarm and imposing a new wave of lockdowns. If the vaccines were even remotely effective, this could have never happened in highly vaxxed territories. The vaccines have not only failed to live up to their promise, but the data indicates that in a number of places they have made the situation worse by bringing about surges. The data clearly demonstrates that the vaccines do not have the effect they were supposed to have. The figures and graphs above provide hard evidence of vaccine failure. For governments to pursue high vaccination rates with the obviously ineffective vaccines is misguided and counterproductive. It is also highly irresponsible and dangerous because of the vaccines’ extensive and severe side effects. https://www.americanthinker.co...cines_dont_work.html "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, however my understanding is that the current so-called vaccine only protects for the one variant, whereas Natural Immunity protects from the original and gives the body the ability to recognize and fight variants as many other parts of the original that is in the mutated variant has not changed, etc. God Bless "Always legally conceal carry.
