Could Omicron be even LESS deadly than seasonal flu? Scientists believe ultra-infectious strain may kill 100 TIMES fewer people than Delta (and mortality rates were ALREADY similar to influenza before the variant emerged)

Omicron could be even less deadly than flu, scientists believe in a boost to hopes that the worst of the pandemic is over.

Some experts have always maintained that the coronavirus would eventually morph into a seasonal cold-like virus as the world develops immunity through vaccines and natural infection. But the emergence of the highly-mutated Omicron variant appears to have sped the process up.

MailOnline analysis shows Covid killed one in 33 people who tested positive at the peak of the devastating second wave last January, compared to just one in 670 now. But experts believe the figure could be even lower because of Omicron. 

The case fatality rate — the proportion of confirmed infections that end in death — for seasonal influenza is 0.1, the equivalent of one in 1,000. 

Meanwhile, researchers at Washington University modelling the next stage of the pandemic expect Omicron to kill up to 99 per cent fewer people than Delta, in another hint it could be less deadly than flu. 

No accurate infection-fatality rate (IFR), which is always just a fraction of the CFR because it reflects deaths among everyone who catches the virus, has yet been published for Delta. 

But UK Government advisers estimated the overall figure stood at around 0.25 per cent before Omicron burst onto the scene, down from highs of around 1.5 per cent before the advent of life-saving vaccines. 

If Omicron is 99 per cent less lethal than Delta, it suggests the current IFR could be as low as 0.0025 per cent, the equivalent of one in 40,000, although experts say this is unlikely. Instead, the Washington modelling estimates the figure actually sits in the region of 0.07 per cent, meaning approximately one in 1,430 people who get infected will succumb to the illness.

Multiple States Now Prioritizing Skin Color for Distribution of Life Saving Covid Treatments

Before the New Year, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared racism a “public health crisis,” signing an entire package of legislation aimed at addressing discrimination and racial injustice in the state.

“For far too long, communities of color in New York have been held back by systemic racism and inequitable treatment,” Hochul said in a statement last week. “I am proud to sign legislation that addresses this crisis head-on, addressing racism, expanding equity, and improving access for all.”

There is no question that laws in New York foment racial disparity. As we’ve reported over the years, thanks to government programs like “stop and frisk,” and the drug war in general, the rights of minorities and poor folks in New York have been frequent targets of the state.

But Hochul’s legislation does nothing to address these factors.

Also, as we’ve reported over the past two years in regard to covid-19, the state’s mandates on masks and vaccines also hit minorities the hardest.

In 2020, Black Americans were some of the hardest hit by police enforcing the arbitrary and tyrannical lockdown mandates. In one instance, 20-year-old Tyreik Bowers watched police raid his home on Memorial day — for barbequing. As Bowers hung out with his family, like millions of other families did that day, plainclothes officers from the 71st Precinct’s anti-crime unit decided to terrorize him over New York’s social distancing guidelines.

Instead of allowing Bowers to clean up outside and comply with their orders, Bowers was tackled and suffered horrific burns as cops held him down on the barbeque pit.

This is why BLM New York has been protesting arbitrary covid dictates since the beginning — especially the vaccine mandate.

“The September 13th vaccine mandate is racist and specifically targets Black New Yorkers. The vaccination passports are modern day Freedom Papers, which limit the free will of Black people”, BLM cofounder Chivona Newsome said in September. “It’s more than where we can dine or enjoy entertainment, it will result in loss of income. As of Monday, September 27, Black health care workers and educators will lose their jobs.”

“We are putting the city on notice. Your mandates will not be another racist social distance,” she said. “Black folk are not going to stand by, or you will see another uprising. And that is not a threat, that is a promise.”

“It is our job to defend liberty, and that is what we are here to do!” Newsome added.

But Hochul’s legislation does nothing to prevent state-sanctioned racism based on covid tyranny either. Instead, it simply tracks crimes based on race, which is not a bad idea, but most assuredly not a solution.

In the meantime, however, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene thinks they’ve figured out a way to fix racism — by denying white people live saving covid treatments. Seriously.

Five Conspiracy Theories That Came True in 2021

We can now say with confidence that at least five of the news stories that the fact checkers falsely deemed “conspiracy theories” in 2020 were validated in 2021.

With the exception of the 5G issue, LeoHohmann.com reported on every one of these conspiracies in 2020 and 2021. The corporate-funded “fact checkers” labeled us fear mongers, conspiracy theorists and wing nuts. Now that they’ve all been proven true, does that mean we get to take off our tin foil hats? Of course not! Now we are reporting on other controversial issues, such as the coming digital, programmable currency that will replace cash and the coming social-credit scoring system modeled after that already in place in China. These are stories that the mainstream press shuns; but don’t worry, they will break the “news” for us a year or two from now, when it’s too late to do anything about it.

Shaming as a COVID Strategy

When it comes to social engineering, there is more than one kind of war. We’ve been witness to the war on drugs, the war on crime, the war on obesity, and most recently, the war on COVID-19.

Psyops strategies are often used in these non-traditional “wars” and some of the strategies applied are the same ones used in real warfare scenarios.

From “divide and conquer” to fearmongering, mass persuasion strategies have been deployed in the campaign to make a viral pandemic with an extremely high survival rate and virtually no threat to healthy children feel like the plague.

The pandemic is real, but quite often there is a huge gap between the picture the regime paints through its persuasion campaigns and actual reality.

One of the foundational strategies that has enabled so many of the other strategies to gain traction is the targeted and widespread use of shaming, both public and private.

Mass Formation Psychosis – It’s time to end your abusive relationship with the Government

Trump is very proud of having orchestrated the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccinations in “warp speed” and it has been found to be unprecedented in its “firsts” as stated in the May 2021 issue of International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research (IJVTPR), Worse Than the Disease? Reviewing Some Possible Unintended Consequences of the mRNA Vaccines Against COVID-19:

Many aspects of Covid-19 and subsequent vaccine development are unprecedented for a vaccine deployed for use in the general population. Some of these include the following.

1. First to use PEG (polyethylene glycol) in an injection (see text)

2. First to use mRNA vaccine technology against an infectious agent

3. First time Moderna has brought any product to market

4. First to have public health officials telling those receiving the vaccination to expect an adverse reaction

5. First to be implemented publicly with nothing more than preliminary efficacy data (see text)

6. First vaccine to make no clear claims about reducing infections, transmissibility, or deaths

7. First coronavirus vaccine ever attempted in humans

8. First injection of genetically modified polynucleotides in the general population

More information regarding the manipulation of the vaccine testing, and lack of testing, has been recently exposed by The Canadian Covid Care Alliance. As you may know, Dr. Robert Malone, was just suspended from Twitter for posting their video The Pfizer Inoculations for COVID-19: More Harm than Good. Is Trump still proud of these vaccines?

They’re Finally Getting Honest About Those Masks They Forced You to Wear

It’s funny how often “the science” has to catch up with common sense and it would appear that after months of being told that wearing a mask was necessary to save humanity from the ravages of a virus with a 99-plus percent survival rate, they’re finally admitting that the cloth masks we’ve been putting over our faces haven’t exactly been effective in stopping the spread of COVID-19.

According to CBS7 in New York, a recently released study by researchers in a number of universities including Yale found that masks of a certain grade do very little to stop the spread:

A study released in November by researchers at Yale University, Stanford University and others found that villages in Bangladesh where surgical masks were worn had 11% fewer cases of COVID than in villages where no masks were worn. In villages that wore cloth masks, infections were reduced by only 5%.

The Mayo Clinic is now asking all of its patients and visitors to wear a surgical mask or other medical grade mask.

“There is emerging evidence that a surgical mask or a hospital or a medical grade mask does a better job of preventing respiratory droplets carrying the virus to other people around you,” said Dr. Adi Shah with the Mayo Clinic.

Shah said evidence from smaller studies is also suggesting that a surgical mask offers better protection than a cloth mask. Shah reminded people that a mask is not meant to protect the person wearing the mask, but other people.

While the surgical mask may be better, it still has only an 11 percent success rate in terms of stopping the spread, which isn’t really much of a success rate at all. Research showed that the only mask that delivered real results are the N95 masks:

The N95 or KN95 mask has always been and is still considered the gold standard for protection. Those masks are tested and certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health that they can filter up to 95% of particles in the air.

Meaning that a lot of the mask-wearing we’re doing is mostly theater and the only real protection comes in the form of N95 masks which aren’t exactly required to be worn. While it’s true that 11 percent is better than zero, it’s definitely in the “extremely low” range of effectiveness, effectively making it a facial decoration.

MSNBC Host Refused Service in NYC Restaurant Because of Four-Year-Old, Unvaccinated Daughter

Liberal media has been a big part of stoking the COVID fear porn in Americans.

So when it comes back to boomerang on a liberal media anchor it’s more than a little ironic.

MSNBC anchor Ayman Mohyeldin posted on Twitter that his family wasn’t allowed into a restaurant in New York City because his four-year-old daughter was unvaccinated. He put the restaurant on blast by tagging them and posting a picture of the restaurant.

The restaurant kept the child out even though she can’t be vaccinated if she is under five. That position basically would be banning all children under 5, who can’t get vaccinated as well as most children who aren’t vaccinated. Then it would of course also be booting out such family groups. All children over five are now being asked for their vaccine papers in restaurants in New York.

Mohyeldin protested that there was no CDC guidance that four-year-olds and those younger be kept out of restaurants and he noted that such children couldn’t be vaccinated.

“Don’t get me wrong, restaurants have the right to apply their own health standards but at least ground them in public health policies and science,” Mohyeldin continued. “Restaurants have suffered so much in this pandemic so its sad that when you try and help by dining out that you get turned away,” Mohyeldin wrote. “And just to be clear, everyone else with me was vaccinated, boosted and/or had covid (me). My 4 yr old daughter has a letter from her doctor stating she recently had covid. But they didn’t care and only offered us to sit outside even though they were seating customers indoors.”

Mohyeldin groused, “What science, data, or public healthy policy or guideline is this grounded in? I couldn’t even get my 4-year-old vaccinated if I wanted… Where is the science and data that backs up that decision? Or is that irrelevant?”

But therein lies the problem. It isn’t science. The CDC hasn’t even gone there. But when you so create fear in people, they’ll go to all kinds of extremes, even if it makes no sense. It’s a natural outgrowth of all of the psychosis.

France’s Macron Stuns As He Declares Un-Vaxxed ‘Not Citizens’.

In a wildly authoritarian move, French President Emmanuel Macron has declared the nation’s unvaccinated public to be “not citizens” of France, and claims he is intentionally just trying to “piss them off.”

The bizarre and unlawful declaration comes as the French parliament debates new legislation that would eliminate unvaccinated people from public life entirely, even if they test negative for COVID-19.

The moves belie the oft-repeated claim that COVID-19 vaccines are purely a health measure, especially in the face of new data from surrounding countries that proves the vaccinated are now more likely to contract, and therefore spread, the virus.

Speaking to Le Parisien, Macron furiously ranted:

“I am not about pissing off the French people… But as for the non-vaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And we will continue to do this, to the end. This is the strategy.

Unvaccinated to be banned from booze and marijuana in Canada

If taking away jobs and large gatherings isn’t enough to coerce some people into getting vaccinated against Covid-19, cutting them off from hard liquor and marijuana might do the trick. Canada’s Quebec province may soon find out.

Quebec Prime Minister Francois Legault’s administration is expected to announce a new requirement for proof of vaccination at liquor stores and cannabis outlets later this week, the Journal de Montreal reported on Tuesday. Minor details of the latest mandate, such as whether to require the passport at entrances or cash registers, are still being ironed out, the newspaper said, citing unidentified sources.

Proof of vaccination is already required in Quebec at such non-essential venues as restaurants, theaters, bars, and casinos. Under the new rule, unvaccinated residents will still be able to access convenience stores, which sell beer and wine, but they’ll be essentially barred from legally buying hard liquor.
