The new Booster is bullshit. Sons roommate that works for a Boston MA Hospital as an XRay Tech got his 3rd jab 2 weeks ago. He's bedridden with COVID right now. Suspects he caught it form his fully vaccinated girlfriend, who is also layed up with Covid.

As someone suggested, she should put the mask the pissy little clerk was offering her, on her sheep mask.

Interesting timing. I was at the grocery store today and there was a long line of fully masked people out front waiting impatiently for their free Covid test. A couple younger unmasked guys were headed into the store when I was and both laughed out loud and 'bleated' at the sheep standing in line. I laughed out loud on that one.

My work gives up to two weeks off for COVID. I'd get in line for a free test.

'bleated' at the sheep

I was in a nationally known pharmacy to work on a narcotics safe that was giving them trouble. I noticed that the entire bottom compartment was full of shrink wrapped bundles of vaccination cards. I mentioned that it was a good thing they were locked up as they were probably more likely to get held up for those than the narcotics.

The pharmacist bleated in response.

I don't get it

Militarization of Health Care: Generals Take Control of Covid Task Forces Internationally

https://rairfoundation.com/mil...ces-internationally/


There were times when leftists were highly skeptical of deploying the military domestically. In most Western European countries, the military was only allowed to get involved outside the country and never against one’s people. Activities such as securing the borders and supporting law enforcement were constitutionally made impossible. However, once Germany, Italy, and Portugal announced it had appointed a major general to lead a Covid-19 task force, Austria followed in their footsteps.

During the 2015 mass-migration crisis in Europe, military support at the borders would have stopped millions of illegals from invading many countries. But there was no political will by nations led by left-wing leaders. However, now all of a sudden, globalists want the military domestically involved. “Coincidently,” globalist billionaire Bill Gates previously called for the militarization of the health system in 2015. Now in 2021, his goals are coming to fruition.


Dressed For Battle

On Friday, the Austrian government announced that Major General Rudolf Striedinger and Katharina Reich, Director General for Public Health, would lead a new office for the “nationwide Covid crisis coordination” (GECKO). The new GECKO task force is supposed to support the government in the fight against “Omikron.”

The General appeared dressed for battle in his military uniform. The new unit will advise and report to the government and coordinate the areas of vaccination, testing, and drug ordering. His appointment gave the armed forces a stronger role in the government’s Covid agenda.



General Fought To Silence Dissenters

In January, the General caused an uproar when he fought to regulate the expressions of opinion of soldiers in public. As a result, the Chief of Staff of Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner and Major Striedinger formulated a decree to restrict the soldier’s freedom of expression and prohibit any criticism of the federal government.

The General argued that soldiers were making inappropriate appearances on the internet. For example, a female soldier spread Covid theories online that were not in lockstep with the state’s narrative.

Omicron

It has been hard for the Austrian government to rationalize the appointment of the General as head of the Corona crisis team. Moreover, the attempt to use the Omicron variant has been challenging as even the World Health Organization (WHO) is defusing the fear-mongering and stressing that cases are predominantly mild.

Covid’s “Omicron” variant apparently affects mainly young people, many of whom have been “vaccinated” twice as well as those who have received the booster. The mutant is significantly more contagious than “Delta,” but most people only develop mild symptoms.

The WHO also confirmed this in an updated report from late last week for documented cases from 38 countries. In addition, the US Department of Health (CDC) reports something similar for the United States.

In America, according to the CDC, the highest number of “omicron” cases were in young people between the ages of 18 and 39. Around 75 percent of those infected were “fully vaccinated,” a third of people even had a booster.

Miltary State

The appointment of Major General Rudolf Striedinger and his new task force comes shortly before the country’s vaccine mandate law will take effect on February 1, 2022. As reported previously by RAIR Foundation USA, unvaccinated people, including children as young as 14-years-old, can be fined up to 2000 euros each time they are caught in public. In addition, the government can ticket the same individuals several times a day. If Austrians refuse to pay their fines, offenders will be thrown in a special prison for unvaccinated people for up to one year.

Unlike policy for other prisoners, the public purse will not pay for an individual’s incarceration. Instead, the inmate will have to bear the costs incurred during their prison stay. The perpetrator also has to pay for his food and his prison cell.

Everything Is Going According To Bill Gates’ Plan

The military’s involvement follows the same suggestions made by Bill Gates in 2015. In a New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) article, Gates called for a global militarized agency to stand above all nations in fighting pandemics. He had close cooperation with NATO in mind. National security regulations should be circumvented and override the constitutions of sovereign states. In addition, the billionaire called for the creation of surveillance and monitoring systems. Gates wants the United Nations, G7 countries, NATO, and the World Bank to work together to implement his ideal response team.

In April 2015, Gates gave a Ted Talk, which he called, “The next outbreak? We’re not ready.” From minute 5:30 on, the self-appointed leader explains his ideas about the use of the military for pandemics:

Bill Gates: Militarization of Health Care

The pharmacy guy did not appreciate alabdj's humor. I liked it and appreciate you offering it up knowing he would not like it

He clearly said "Kill". Whether he meant it or was just having a Joe moment is a different conversation.

70% Of London's COVID Hospitalisations Diagnosed AFTER Being Admitted For Other Ailments

https://www.zerohedge.com/covi...itted-other-ailments

70 per cent of London’s COVID hospitalisations were diagnosed after the patient had already been admitted for other ailments, it has been revealed.

The figure is important because a so-called ‘surge’ in London hospitalisations for COVID is being used as a justification to lobby for further lockdown restrictions on the British public.

However, as Telegraph journalist Allison Pearson reveals, much of the panic is being driven by cases being counted as COVID despite the patient being admitted for other reasons.

“Astonishing fact. 70% of London’s so-called 'COVID hospitalizations' are diagnosed several days after admission for other ailments,” she tweeted.

“They are NOT COVID patients. A positive test 8 days after admission means the hospital basically gave the patient COVID.”

Pearson is trending on Twitter because she has upset serial bedwetters by asserting that, “It’s time for humanity to prevail over scientists.”

However, her article, based on sources within the NHS, contains several interesting details.

“Let me give you one example of the way that our scientist overlords operate,” writes Pearson.

“On December 10, Professor Neil Ferguson pointed out that Covid hospital admissions were about 700 a day. What he failed to take into account is that such a worrying number would be balanced by around 600 Covid discharges each day. According to my source, the current seven-day average for Covid hospital discharges is 623 per day compared with average admissions of 780. While both metrics have, indeed, increased, hospital bed occupancy has stayed roughly the same.”

The journalist goes on to underscore how only 5 per cent of hospital beds are occupied by COVID patients in England and that “overall hospital occupancy currently stands at 89 per cent,” which is a decent figure for the NHS in winter.

“According to my reliable NHS England source, admissions with Covid have actually been declining for the past week, if you look at the seven-day-rolling average. The number of patients in hospital for other ailments who test positive for Covid – but are sneakily counted as “Covid admissions” – is rising slightly but most of the increase is seen among those who have been in hospital for more than eight days. So – brace yourselves – those poor sick people have been given Covid by the very hospital where they went to get better. Save the NHS, eh?”

Prime Minister Boris Johnson could still be set to impose more lockdown restrictions on the UK next week despite studies confirming that the Omicron variant is milder and causes significantly fewer hospitalisations than Delta.

Pearson also reveals that she spoke to “a senior figure in the food supply chain” who told her that bosses at major supermarkets have already been told more restrictions will be imposed on December 28, despite this decision still supposedly being “in the balance.”

You can't get the WuFlu over the phone, can you?

I just talked to miserably coughing triple-vaxed but yet sick-with-it friend on the phone for 20 minutes. She and her triple-vaxed husband both.

And I wasn't wearing a mask.

This may be the answer to the mystery for me. About five weeks ago, I began feeling crappy. My symptoms indicated a common cold, though a very mild one. I had a runny nose (and still do, off and on), no fever. I had pretty pronounced fatigue, more so that I would expect with a cold, but nothing startling. I just felt tired and irritable and as a result, I tried to minimize my interactions with people, even online. Some of you have may noticed rate of posting here dropped off substantially, and I didn't have a lot of patience when push came to shove.

As I said, it seemed like the mildest of colds. My sinuses never became plugged. Mucous was clear, no color or cloudiness.

The thing is, I would expect to recover from a cold in a week to ten days at the outside, but this went on for about three weeks and I'm still feeling kind of vaguely odd now and then.

I had almost completely lost my sense of taste and smell. The loss of sense of smell, I would expect of course when my sinuses were plugged, but I never got stopped up. I fared only slightly better with sense of taste. In the past few days, both senses have begun to return slowly, though I am still not back to a hundred percent in this respect.

So, here's a possible answer to the mystery, in the video below. He says, based upon available data, if you exhibit symptoms of the common cold, there's a 50% chance you've got Omicron. He's in the UK, so those numbers may be different in the states, I don't know.

All I can tell you is, if I had a cold, it's the oddest cold I've had in all my time on this rock.

parabellum, your symptoms mirror mine nearly exactly. I had (have?) the Wu Flu, as determined by a rapid test and confirmed by a PCR test.

W/in the first twenty-four hours I did run a slight fever, 102°F, but so mild and so briefly that, had I not had one of those forehead thermometers making it easy to check regularly, it probably would've come and gone w/o my having noticed.

Those exact same symptoms set me back the entire month of November.

My symptoms were light like yours.Positive with a rapid test on day 5.Slight fever (no more than 100.5) on day 5-7. Loss of taste and smell days 7-10. Ive had worse head colds. I have been following FLCCC guidelines for immune building. Felt back to normal after about 15 days.

Let me get in line.

On Monday I started to get a ticklish cough. It continued into Tuesday when I also started to feel head congestion and fatigue....possibly a feverish feeling. After a shower, I felt surprisingly better. The cough feeling continued.

Wednesday was more of the same, but even milder symptoms.

Thursday and today an extension of the prior days. I really feel fine except for an occasional cough and mild head congestion. I did notice on Thursday, my sense of taste went away. Everything I've eaten today has no taste. I was particularly surprised at the spicy (guessing) shrimp cocktail sauce....just a slight tangy sense.

I have not taken a test yet, but asked last night at Walgreens if their test included results of the omicron variant. They didn't know.

So, where should I get a test. If I do indeed have omicron and this is as bad as it gets, I'll be happy to have the antibodies.

We got ours at a nearby urgent care facility. We got both rapid tests--for rapid results, and a PCR--for more reliable results. In both our cases the PCR test confirmed the results of the rapid test.

They told us that neither the rapid test nor the PCR will tell what variant of the Wu Flu we got, just whether or not we had it.

There's no way to know. From all I've read, days 5-10 are the "danger zone," where, if it's going to cause serious problems in the lungs, that's when it gets going.
