And what is the source of the tests? China? And who is footing the bill?
Todays presser will reveal all, no doubt.

Yeah. I’m not using any test supplied by the government. I’m thinking a ton of false positives will ensue. As to who is footing the bill? Why, us of course. Just like the $100-$200 per jab “vaccines”.

The simplest way to understand the insanity of boosting for Omicron

If the first-generation monoclonal antibodies are now so useless that they’re being retired, why would the first-generation vaccines be any better?

Alex Berenson

We call them vaccines. But it is clear after a year of use that the mRNA shots do not produce a robust long-term B- or T-cell immune response.

What they do is drive up antibodies to the spike protein (to unnaturally high levels, levels that all by themselves may cause problems, but put that aside). And those antibodies are extremely narrowly focused, not just on the spike protein but on a particular part of it.

In other words, they basically turn your body into a factory for generating monoclonal antibodies for the original wild-type virus.

But THOSE ANTIBODIES DON’T WORK ANYMORE AGAINST OMICRON. Its shape is too different. They can’t attach properly. Which is why the Lilly and Regeneron antibodies are being phased out.

Yet the same logic that has led to the realization that the mAb cocktails won’t work is being ignored for the vaccines.

Why?

I don’t know. But the answer definitely is not a pathetic unwillingness to admit vaccine failure at all costs.

After all, we’ve learned over the last two years that pride and vanity never drive the decisions of our public health authorities!

Young People 40 Times More Likely To Die From Vaccines Than From COVID Says Major Japanese Study

December 14, 2021

A major Japanese medical bulletin has warned that the risk of dying from the COVID-19 vaccine for people in their 20s maybe 40 times higher than the disease itself.

It was found that the risk of death of the vaccine might even be as astronomically high as 40 times more for the young, This was claimed by a review in the latest issue (read below) of Med Check which is a bimonthly bulletin published by the Japan Institute of Pharmacovigilance (NOPJIP) as a member of the International Society of Drug Bulletins (ISDB).

Regarding the reported deaths of individuals between the ages of 20 and 29 within one or two weeks after receiving the vaccination, Med Check estimates the death rate for that age at 3.2 deaths per each million doses administered.

One of the deaths apparently caused by the vaccine included the death of a 27-year-old professional baseball player. The player, after eight days of getting the COVID vaccine, collapsed and later died post a month long hospital battle.

The bulletin suggested that the death toll could potentially be higher, partly because the Japanese government only requires reports of suspected injuries within 28 days of the vaccination. As of October 15, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare had received a total of 1,308 reports of deaths from COVID vaccination.

According to Med Check, in Japan, the risk of a fatal reaction to the vaccine, despite having just three cases, is much higher than the risk of contracting the virus for young adults, who have a 0.6 to 0.8 per million chance of dying from the disease. As of June 2021, only 7 of the 11.8 million Japanese in their 20s had died from COVID-19, and by mid-August, 10 had died.

Med Check found that the risk of dying from the vaccine was seven times higher in June and almost five times higher by August 11 compared to the risk of coronavirus infection. Over the course of several years, the risk of death from vaccination in people over the age of 20 can be up to 40 times greater than for Covid-19.

Med Check also noted that there had been no COVID-19 deaths under the age of 20 in Japan until September 2021. “If children in this age group are vaccinated, it may cause death,” the bulletin warned.

“Even if children and adolescents and people in their 20s are infected, it is naturally mild or asymptomatic because they have less SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 than adults especially old people. It is ridiculous to consider vaccination for school children.”

New York Lawmaker Pulls Public Health Detainment Bill, Blames ‘Conspiracy Theorists’

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...Rfo45c0oGk6cTLR%2BLZ

A New York lawmaker has taken down a 6-year-old bill that would authorize the state to detain infected individuals and their contacts deemed a threat to public health during a pandemic, blaming “conspiracy theorists” of spreading misinformation about his proposal.

The bill in question, known as A416, was first introduced by Assemblyman Nick Perry in 2015, nearly a year after the nationwide panic over a potential outbreak of Ebola in the United States. The Brooklyn Democrat said the measure was promoted by an incident in which a nurse refused to be placed in quarantine after returning from West Africa, where she’d helped treat Ebola patients.

Like many other bills, A416 had been reintroduced year after year and died in committee. The latest version of the bill would allow the state governor, by “issuing a single order,” to “order the removal or detention” of any person or group of people deemed to be a suspected case, contact, or carrier of a contagious disease and poses “an imminent and significant threat to the public health in severe morbidity or high mortality.”

“Such person or group of persons shall be detained in a medical facility or other appropriate facility or premises designated by the governor or his or her delegate,” it reads.

The bill, which received little public attention over the past years, became a center of controversy when Perry once again put it up for the 2021-2022 legislative session amid the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic. Opponents of the measure argued that it would allow then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo to build internment camps for New Yorkers who refuse to comply with his public health policies.

“This is straight up detention camp stuff in NY! A bill giving [Gov. Andrew Cuomo], Health Commissioner or any designated official full power to remove any person/group of people from their home if deemed contagious,” Elizabeth Joy, a Republican candidate running against Rep. Paul Tonko, wrote in January. “It’s horrifying.”

Facing mounting opposition, Perry on Monday announced he no longer seeks to advance the bill, which he said was misinterpreted by “conspiracy theorists” and internet trolls.

“Conspiracy theorists, and those who spread misinformation online are once again trolling on social media, posting concocted stories about A416,” he wrote in a statement on Dec. 20. “To deprive these individuals the ability to use this issue for fuel to spread their fire of lies and mistruths, I will take the appropriate legislative action to strike the bill, remove it from the calendar, thus ending all consideration and actions that could lead to passage into law,” he said. “Get vaccinated and stay safe.”

Republican Assemb. Joe Angelino was among the opposing lawmakers who celebrated the withdrawal. He dismissed Perry’s claim, saying that there was no “misinformation” around the bill since everyone could read online what the bill was actually about.

“The sponsor of A416 is saying we were spreading ‘misinformation,’ calling us ‘conspiracy theorists’ who were ‘concocting stories’ causing him to pull his Bill. I’m pretty sure we all can read and his intent was to haul people away for the good of all,” Angelino wrote on Facebook.

“This is reminiscent of what happened in WW2 when someone thought it was a good idea to send Americans of Japanese descent to ‘camps’ for the duration of the war,” he said, referring to President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s order to relocate Japanese Americans to interment camps following the Pearl Harbor attack.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett: To all those eligible, go and get your 4th shot

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/319047

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has ordered preparations to be made for a fourth COVID shot to be offered to all those who meet the criteria established by the government's epidemic taskforce, which, this evening, issued a recommendation to offer a fourth vaccine shot to the over-60s, the immunocompromised, and healthcare workers.

"This is wonderful news which will help us to overcome the Omicron wave that is now flooding the world," Bennett said. "The State of Israel will continue to stand at the forefront of the global response to the pandemic. Israeli citizens were the first in the world to receive a third vaccine dose, and we are continuing to lead with the fourth round of vaccinations.

"I call on all those who are eligible according to the criteria established by the taskforce to go and get vaccinated," he continued. "Take responsibility for your health and for the livelihoods of all of us. These vaccines save lives. I congratulate the members of the government's epidemic taskforce, and also the Health Minister, Nitzan Horowitz, and the director-general of the Health Ministry, Professor Nachman Ash, as well as all our healthcare workers for your devoted work around the clock.

"To all Israeli citizens, my message to you is: Don't waste time. Go and get vaccinated," Bennett concluded.

We were planning to visit Israel in the fall, but I'm not counting on it. It's closed to US citizens now, who can predict the future.

https://thepointsguy.com/news/...ernational-tourists/

Israel bans travel to US over omicron; borders to remain closed to Americans

As of Nov. 28, Israel has restricted tourists from all countries due to the omicron variant, but will no longer reopen to Americans as soon as Dec. 22. Instead, Israel is keeping the ban on foreigners in place, and is now also banning travel to the United States over fears of the new omicron variant and its rapid spread in America.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke to his country Sunday night and said he was adding the U.S. to its so-called “red list,” meaning Israelis will need special permission to fly to America, which joins a long list of more than 55 countries.

Bennett said the ban on all visitors had bought the country some time, but “Omicron is already in the country, from the Knesset to kindergartens, and it is spreading fast.”

Back on Nov. 1, Israel reopened its borders to vaccinated travelers after more than 18 months.

The initial November reopening followed Israel’s successful implementation of a pilot program in May 2021 that allowed a select number of tour groups to enter the country before temporarily allowing all international travelers, including Americans, back into the country after the extended closure due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Obviously, Israel has frozen the entry of tourists for now.

Two tests and quarantine likely to be required

When the country finally reopens, all travelers, including those who are fully vaccinated, will likely have to show results of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours or antigen test taken within 24 hours of boarding a flight to Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv (TLV). Those are the previous rules per Israel’s Ministry of Health, which notes that test results must be in English and specify the traveler’s passport number.

To be considered fully vaccinated, at least 14 days must have passed since your final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, including those from Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, Sinovac, SinoPharm and the Serum Institute of India. If it has been 180 days (six months) since your final dose, you will need proof of receipt of a booster shot at least 14 days prior to arrival in the country.

Once Israel reopens, travelers who can show proof of recovery from COVID-19 within 11-90 days of entering the country are exempt from pre-arrival testing requirements.

All people arriving in Israel will need to quarantine upon arrival, the length of which is based on the country from which you are arriving. Israel codes countries by color based on COVID-19 risk. More information on country designations by color is available here.

Unvaccinated Americans will remain prohibited from entering Israel.

Additional pre-departure steps

In addition to the aforementioned vaccination and pre-departure testing, all travelers (once Israel reopens) will need to complete an online entry form within 48 hours of departure to Israel, where they will upload proof of vaccination or recovery. Note that parents may complete the form on behalf of their children, in addition to spouses, as long as all individuals in the group have been within the same country in the preceding 14 days leading up to arrival in Israel.

“Foreign nationals who do not meet these conditions will be denied entry to Israel and will be required to return to their country of origin,” per Israel’s Health Ministry. “Violators of isolation, who are not confirmed cases, will be denied entry to Israel for a period of three years.”

The same pre-departure and arrival requirements will apply to passengers entering the country by sea or land borders.

Current entry requirements for Israeli citizens are outlined here, which says, “Non-Israeli citizens are not allowed to enter Israel, unless they have a special entry permit from the Exceptions Committee.”

Current COVID-19 situation

The prime minister said Israel was in the midst of a fifth wave of coronavirus infections, with more than 1,000 new cases reported in the past 24 hours. That’s the highest number of new cases since October.

The Israeli government is reportedly considering restrictions on crowd sizes and large gatherings.

Israel already restricts all indoor activities to those who are fully vaccinated, recovered from or recently tested negative for COVID-19 via a “green pass” system. TPG’s Zach Griff detailed his experience obtaining a pass here.

As the variants never end, and the "next shot" becomes an endless series, Covid becomes an increasingly effective tool for separating the "troublemakers" from the passive, compliant masses. Then, in the name of science and the protection of the people, the troublemakers can be rounded up and sent into "quarantine" -- leaving passive, compliant masses who will obey any and all directives from the government.

At that point you have the perfect totalitarian state.

Could it be? Could it just may be?

Did Jen Psaki tell us a little more than she meant to about coughing Joe Biden's COVID status?
Coughing all over the place during his rare public appearances, multi-vaxxed Joe Biden gives all appearances of having COVID. But if he does, he's got politics on his mind and therefore isn't about to be honest about it.

The latest nonsense then comes from White House spokesweasel Jen Psaki, who's making curious claims.

Following a report that Biden was exposed to COVID by a staffer who caught the disease, Psaki tried to spin the obvious to us about whether Biden has COVID, this time with a positively Jesuitical evasion about the president's status.

She claimed this:

darlene superville
@dsupervilleap
.@PressSec says Biden is asymptomatic after his close contact last week with a staffer who later tested positive for COVID-19.

"He's asymptomatic. I spent several hours with him this morning and he is feeling great," she said.
2:21 PM · Dec 21, 2021



Asymptomatic? As in, has the disease, but isn't coughing all over the place? That not only is dishonest based on the fact that he is coughing in public appearances, but also implies a positive test for COVID. Asymptomatic people with COVID don't cough all over the place the way old Joe does.

It sounds as if she revealed more than she meant to with that remark, given that it appears quite realistic to suspect that Joe has COVID.

Twitchy has an excellent roundup of the public skepticism of that claim seen on Twitter here.

It's worth asking more about, because Joe has been a coughing wreck for weeks.

Here's the news from less than three weeks ago, on Dec. 3:



President Biden explained Friday that his cough and raspy voice is due to a grandson who had a cold and not the coronavirus. He is tested for the virus every day and recent results were negative, he said.

"I'm okay," he told a reporter who noted the difference in his voice after he concluded his remarks at the White House on the latest jobs report. "I have a [coronavirus] test every day."

"What I have is a one-and-a-half-year-old grandson who had a cold who likes to kiss his pop," Biden added. "It's just a cold."

He didn't name the grandson, but the only one who matches that profile is the new offspring of his son Hunter Biden and his latest wife. (That's the same Hunter Biden who's quite the artist these days and supposedly the relative Joe never discusses business with. Seems they meet a lot, though. In any case, it's unknown whether the kid gave senile old Gramps any cold.)

A month earlier, Psaki herself tested positive for COVID. Of course she would have no problem working in the same room with Coughing Joe, as she has natural immunity. That's a lot of COVID floating around the White House with its hyper-vaxxed staff, yet somehow, none of it ever lands on Joe.

Now, why would Biden be so eager to deny he has COVID despite his obvious symptoms? President Trump had no problem admitting he had COVID. Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the U.K. and President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil never hid the fact that they were sick with COVID, either. But Biden is showing all signs of having caught COVID himself, and the White House spin machine is working overtime to deny anything amiss to the public.

Why is he being so dishonest about this?

Most likely because he's been hollering and haranguing the public to get vaccinated. He's been so obnoxious about it that he even told a Kentucky tornado victim trying to get over injuries and the shock of losing all his possessions in the mega-storm to get vaccinated, showing his complete tin ear on how to deal with victims of natural disasters. He might have even spread a little COVID there as he said it, given the White House COVID Petri dish. Who knows? He seems to be in the clutches of some kind of Big Pharma corporate interests, which would involve forcing the vaccine on everyone, given the high profits and zero risk of lawsuits for vaccine injuries.

We all know that Biden's vaccinated — many times — having made a public show of it.

Now he's caught COVID? Like millions of others who've been vaccinated?

What it sounds like is that his vaccination agenda might just be more important than public health and decisions about one's body. Biden catching COVID puts that priority on the rocks, given that the public can see that these vaccines don't work very well and certainly don't stop anyone from catching COVID.

That affirms what vaccine skeptics have been saying all along — that the vaccines are jury-rigged, they don't work very well, and many people would be better off skipping the vaccine and relying on natural immunity as a defense. With the very mild omicron variant going around and acting as a natural vaccine, that seems reasonable, as does the idea of learning to live with COVID and focusing on effective therapeutics such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

But all of that flies in the face of Biden's hard vaccine agenda. If Biden has COVID, it would be Exhibit A of why that idea makes less and less sense, because the vaccines don't seem to prevent anything.

Fact is, the most vaccinated places on Earth, such as Gibraltar and Israel, have some of the highest COVID cases. It's as if the vaccines make people more, not less vulnerable to catching the new variants. Substack here has an excellent piece on the "pandemic of the vaccinated."

What we see here, if it's eventually found out to be true that Joe has COVID, is Biden putting his political agenda ahead of the public's health. Besides the bizarre desire to force vaccinations on everyone, there are also uncomfortable questions about the 25th Amendment which raises the question of whether there will be a President Kamala Harris at some time in the near future.

All of these things rank higher to Joe than the actual truth — about the vaccines and about Joe himself. Can't this administration act with honesty? Seems they can't, given that the lies coming from them seem to be reflexive.

Israel's first Omicron death - was actually not Omicron-related

Health Ministry says elderly man who died Tuesday and was labeled 'first Israeli Omicron death' - actually had Delta variant, not Omicron.

https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/319066

A death in southern Israel Tuesday which was labelled Israel’s first confirmed fatality related to the Omicron variant was actually not linked with the new variant, the Israeli Health Ministry said Wednesday morning.

On Tuesday, a 68-year-old man who had received two shots of the Pfizer vaccine and suffered from serious pre-existing conditions died after testing positive for SARS-Cov-2, officials at Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba announced.

Hospital officials emphasized that the primary cause of death was the man’s pre-existing health conditions.

The man was initially said to have been infected with the Omicron variant, with media outlets calling his death the first Omicron-related fatality in Israel.

On Wednesday, however, the Health Ministry announced that the man’s lab results indicated that he had been carrying the Delta variant, not the Omicron variant.

The Israeli government’s Coronavirus Cabinet voted Tuesday evening to impose distance learning on students in towns with higher infection rates, citing the spread of the Omicron variant, despite initial data from South Africa and elsewhere suggesting the variant may be less virulent that previous strains.

Earlier, the Health Ministry banned travel to the United States, Canada, and a number of other countries, due to the relatively high levels of the Omicron variant in those countries.
