    Imho nominal. The boosters weren't necessarily in the original plan... The few companies with first mover advantage (PFE, MRNA, JNJ) it'll just be more profit.

    Doctor Who Discovered Omicron Slams 'Hype,' Travel Bans

    National Chair of the South African Medical Association, Dr. Angelique Coetzee,
    who made an early discovery of the Omicron variant amongst patients, says "the hype" that's been created surrounding the variant is unwarranted.

    According to Reuters, "the variant was detected and announced by South Africa's National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) on Nov. 25 from samples taken from a laboratory from Nov. 14 to Nov. 16."

    Coetzee told Reuters that in one of the "biggest hospitals" in her "area" and country of South Africa, there is only one patient who is COVID-positive on ventilation, and there has been no confirmation, as of Sunday, that Omicron is the cause.


    "The hype," Coetzee says, "that's been created currently out there in the media and worldwide doesn't correlate with the clinical picture. And it doesn't warrant to just cut us off from any traveling, and bans South Africa as if we are the villains in the whole process — should not be like that."

    they also rarely wash, spew random bodily fluids everywhere, and drink out of the cartons.

    My 17yo nephew just tested positive today, got it from his mom/stepfather.

    just heard on radio, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya (look him up) says that in US there are only an estimated 25 million people (all ages) that have not had C19 that have also *not* had the shots. That's just about the population of Florida.

    since Omicron only affects the vaccinated we are OK.

    Well, wait until it mates with Delta and the ultimate variant is born.

    the CDC recently released a study that shows that Vaccinated and the pure bloods (unvaccinated) equally pass on the virus(s) .. (Vaccinated can still get the virus, they can still pass it on, get sick and can still die from the virus) .... not to mention all the other risks of just getting the jabs .. yup, I will continue to pass and will not get these theraputics .... yet, the sheeple continue to buy into the BS big pharma is pushing ...

    I did laugh out loud at that one. Thought to myself last night that these are starting to sound like Transformer characters.
