Horowitz: Omicron: Mother Nature’s universal booster



In the ultimate irony, those who get more boosters appear more at risk to get the new variant of coronavirus. At the same time, God appears to be offering natural boosters by making this variant a mild illness that doesn’t cause lung inflammation or blood clotting, and new evidence suggests that it might offer protection against more serious strains of the virus. So why aren’t the public health “experts” taking “yes” for an answer and ending the failed vaccines and panic-induced mandates? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Bizarrely, numerous states were quick to partially suspend the monoclonal antibodies based on a rumor that they no longer worked against Omicron. At the same time, they are doubling down on the ineffective injections that not only fail to work, but actually appear to make people more likely to contract the virus.

In Maryland, for example, one day after the governor contracted COVID (after getting three shots), then treated himself with the monoclonals, the Maryland Department of Health announced that it was pausing federal allocations of the monoclonal antibody treatments because they “may not be effective against the new Omicron variant.” At the same time, they urged people to get the shots that failed the governor. Well, if the antibodies no longer work in the monoclonals, which until now were working better than the vaccines, then the vaccines most certainly don’t work.

Last week, the Indian Express reported that 33 of the 34 people hospitalized for Omicron in Delhi’s Lok Nayak hospital were fully vaccinated. This data is very revealing because India still has a relatively low vaccination rate compared to the U.S. and Europe. Thankfully, none of them needed oxygenation and it was unclear why they were admitted, but to the extent the COVID fascists want to create undue panic over Omicron, it’s not being driven by the unvaccinated.

The U.K’s Office of National Statistics already found in a survey that the vaccinated are exponentially more likely to test positive for Omicron, and now Danish data seems to indicate the same for some age groups.

According to the U.K.’s latest Vaccine Surveillance report, which factors in infection rates for all variants together, the vaccine effectiveness is down to negative 75% for 18- to 29-year-olds, negative 98% for 30- to 39-year-olds, and negative 131% for 40- to 49-year-olds. The vaccine effectiveness was in positive territory only for those over 70 years old – but still well under 50% for most – likely because Omicron is infecting mainly the younger people.

Ironically, while the powers that be continue to push the failed vaccines, a lot of local officials are tacitly admitting they don’t work by going back to the original failed mask mandates. Let’s put aside the fact that these masks absolutely do not work ...

Two weeks into the mask mandate, cases in New York City are up an astounding 542%, and 863% since vaccine passports started\n\nHow many more times do experts and politicians need to fail spectacularly before people realize they have absolutely no idea what they\u2019re doing?pic.twitter.com/X6qk2iWIvf

However, they are obfuscating the truth from the public that while nothing seems to work against Omicron, the variant itself is very mild and will give people immunity on the cheap.

The decoupling between cases and fatalities from Omicron is unmistakable. South Africa was the original epicenter of the Omicron outbreak, and for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, the case fatality rate has dropped to near zero.

Which is why you should be suspicious of any news about hospitals being flooded with patients. It’s true that in some places in the U.S., they are still dealing with the lag effect from the seasonal virulence of Delta’s outbreak and possibly some residual percolation of that much more severe strain. But you will not see large rises in hospitalizations from Omicron because, as a study from the University of Hong Kong suggests, Omicron is fundamentally an upper respiratory infection and rarely replicates in the lungs. A new preprint study from the Soto Lab in Japan also found in hamsters that the spike protein from Omicron has a much weaker fusion to the cells than the one in Delta, thereby making it “less infectious and pathogenic.”

However, because Omicron stays in the nasal pharynx, it spreads as rapidly as a cold. Thus, if we are going to count every last case of the cold with mass testing, can you guess how many people in the hospital at any given time might be incidentally infected? The U.K. Telegraph reports, “Hospitals are reporting high numbers of ‘incidental Covid’ patients who are admitted for unrelated reasons, an NHS chief has said, warning hospitalization data should be treated with caution.” The Miami Herald reports that at Jackson Health, “60% were diagnosed after being admitted for another reason, according to the hospital system’s internal tracking report."

Thus, if anything, to the extent we still have problems in the U.S., it’s precisely because Delta hasn’t been fully flushed out by Omicron yet. Otherwise almost nobody would get seriously ill with coronavirus. For states and cities to have relaxed restrictions during Delta and then use Omicron as pretext to bring them back is scientifically backward. Then again, the imposition of these mandates to begin with was always voodoo for any respiratory virus.

So, is Omicron too good to be true? If it is so mild that even those with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection can get it, then does infection with this variant convey immunity against stronger strains of the virus in the future? Sigallab in South Africa conducted a study and found that those infected with Omicron experienced a 4.4-fold enhancement of neutralization against Delta over a person without any infection. If these results hold, it will mean that the masses of the world could achieve herd immunity with much less pain than from previous variants or possibly future, more virulent variants.

The fact that global and local governments are using the exact wrong variant to promote vaccines and masks – which never worked for more serious, less transmissible strains – against an unstoppable yet mild variant demonstrates that this has been and will always be about social control, not source control.

Horowitz: It’s now clear that the leaky shots have made the virus worse than ever




Told you so. Better safe than sorry.\nAfter 20 month we know how effective NPIs are.https://mobile.twitter.com/prof_freedom/status/1424665640745451526\u00a0\u2026

So, what have we gotten after injuring countless people all over the world with leaky, ineffective injections? Well, last week, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz bragged that his state is second in the nation in booster shots, has over 80% of all adults with at least one shot, and is sixth in the nation in injecting 5- to 11-year-olds. What he failed to say is that over the past week, Minnesota and Michigan are No. 1 in COVID cases! A leftist like Waltz will never wake up and smell the vaccine-mediated viral enhancement, but will the GOP governors finally call for a suspension of this pandemic-inducing injection?

Over the summer, as people like me and Joe Rogan began popularizing the “leaky chicken vaccine” theory to explain why a non-sterilizing vaccine would make the virus worse, the media dredged up the author of that 2015 study to denounce Joe Rogan’s use of the theory.

In 2015, Penn State biologist Andrew Read published a study explaining how a leaky chicken vaccine essentially exacerbated Marek’s disease in chickens to the point that it was able to defy the laws of microbiology and become both more transmissible and more virulent at the same time. "Our data show that anti-disease vaccines that do not prevent transmission can create conditions that promote the emergence of pathogen strains that cause more severe disease," he concluded in the study, published in Plos Biology.

When we began to see more excess mortality from the virus than ever before in July and August, Rogan pointed out this study as a very logical thesis to explain why a leaky vaccine could make things worse. On Aug. 8, Forbes posted an interview with Read in which he said Rogan was misapplying his work. What Read said in his rebuttal at the time should give you goose bumps, now that we know our own government admits Rogan was right about the vaccine not stopping transmission.

Read responds: “We're talking a very different virus and very different vaccines. The details in biology really matter a lot. The chicken vaccines we worked with, the first-generation vaccine, definitely reduced disease, severity and death.” But unlike the COVID mRNA vaccines, the chicken vaccine “didn't stop transmission at all.” And this is one of the key differences between what was being studied in Read’s paper and our current situation with the global pandemic. “Those [vaccinated] chickens just kept churning out the virus for weeks and weeks and weeks.” Again, this is a key difference. “It’s a very different virus from SARS-2. A key issue here is transmissibility.”

More transmission increases the likelihood of mutation. Thankfully, COVID-19 Vaccines reduce transmission and reduce opportunity for mutation.

“Think about what's happening with evolution,” offers Read. “Mutations can occur anytime the [virus] replicates. So the more replication, the more variants are generated. At the moment, the vast majority of the replication is happening in unvaccinated people. You can tell that because the majority of cases in the hospital are unvaccinated individuals. That is where the evolutionary action is happening at the moment.”

And as they say, the rest is history. Here we are several months later, and nobody disagrees with the fact that the shots appear to spread the virus even more, a clear reality from the best data in the world produced weekly by the U.K. Even the assumption that the shots protect against severe illness is blunted by the establishment’s own demands that everyone get endless boosters. So in many ways, this is now worse than the leaky Marek’s disease vaccine, which Read admits will generate durable variants.

It’s not like we weren’t warned. French virologist Luc Montagnier won the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of HIV, so he has authority on this issue. He warned, “It is clear that the new variants are created by antibody-mediated selection due to the vaccination” and, “The history books will show that because it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.”

And yet, the worse the virus gets, the more governments demand we vaccinate again and again with a leaky vaccine that is so narrow-spectrum, it’s easy for the virus to escape and then become more virulent.

Just look at the excess death data in the U.S. There were 193K excess deaths for the past 13 weeks, which is 112% higher than last year!

Excess Deaths in the US are through the roof!\n\n+112% all-cause excess deaths just the last 13 weeks!\n\nThat is 193 thousand people died more than normal in just 13 weeks! That's besides these widely available vaccines... Something is not right!pic.twitter.com/tqJiVflVUD
— Ben M. (@Ben M.) 1637774986

For weeks 33-45, there were 68.4K more COVID deaths this year than last year and roughly 33.5K non-COVID excess deaths in 2021 over the same period last year. This likely means that not only is the vaccine making the virus worse, but it’s also killing people with sundry ailments created by the spike protein. If one were purposely trying to kill civilization, one could not have done a better job than creating a shot that is leakier than the flu shot but exponentially more dangerous.

Europe is now even worse. With many countries having near-universal vaccination rates among adults, cases are now 20% higher than at any time during the pre-vaccination waves. Ditto for many states in America.

Collectively, cases in Europe are now 20% higher than they were at any point in 2020 or the winter wave in early 2021. \n\nMeanwhile, EU health statistics show 81% of all adults 18+ vaccinated and 77% fully vaccinated.\n\nhttps://vaccinetracker.ecdc.europa.eu/public/extensions/COVID-19/vaccine-tracker.html#uptake-tab\u00a0\u2026

Pfizer is responding to fears of the new b.1.1.529 Botswanan variant with a pledge to come out with more leaky vaccines. The company fails to concede that its shot has already completely backfired for the Delta variant and runs the risk of selecting for the most immune-escaped variant to become the dominant one. There is no evidence this “Omicron variant” is more problematic, but we already know that what has been circulating everywhere over the past half-year is more problematic than what we had pre-vaccine.



As Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, one of the greatest vaccinoligists of the generation, has repeatedly warned, a leaky vaccine will help select for the most durable mutations and make them the dominant strains. It doesn’t mean that the shots created these mutations – just that they create natural selection for the worst ones to beat out the other strains. “It’s important to understand the evolutionary capacity that a pathogen has when it is put under widespread immune pressure, that is something you don’t have in clinical studies, for example, the population effect,” Vanden Bossche recently said in an in-depth interview with the HighWire. I’m 200% convinced that it’s going to lead to a catastrophe.” If there ever was a way to create something as bad as Ebola that spreads like a cold, these shots might be the magic and tragic recipe.

It’s no longer true to say the vaccines are not working. They are working quite well for their intended purpose. When all the dust settles, mass vaccination with a leaky injection will likely supplant lockdowns as the worst mistake in the history of human civilization.

Israeli officials warn of 'emergency' after detecting new coronavirus variant



Israeli leaders are warning of an impending "emergency" after officials detected the first case of a new coronavirus variant in the country and restricted travel to and from most African countries.

The Health Ministry said a traveler who had returned to Israel from the east African country of Malawi tested positive for the new virus variant and that two other suspected cases are being investigated. Each of the three individuals have been placed in quarantine. They were all vaccinated, the Associated Press reports.

The new coronavirus variant was first detected in South Africa and has raised concerns among scientists because it carries a large number of mutations and appears to be spreading rapidly.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said Friday that Israel is "on the threshold of an emergency situation" because of the cases. He convened a Cabinet meeting to discuss the new variant and said it is both more contagious and spreads more rapidly than the delta variant. Naftali also said authorities were still trying to learn whether it evades vaccines or is deadlier than other known variants of the virus.

"We are currently at the threshold of an emergency situation," he said. "I ask everyone to be prepared and to fully join in the work around the clock."

The Israeli government said all countries in sub-Saharan Africa would be considered "red countries" from which foreigners will not be permitted to travel to Israel. Israelis are likewise prohibited from visiting those countries and anyone returning from them must quarantine themselves.

The Israeli military will be used to locate any individuals who traveled to one of the red countries within the last week and instruct them to go into isolation while they are tested for the new variant, officials said.

News of the new variant has prompted similar reactions from the international community.

European countries are banning flights from South Africa and other southern African countries.

In the United States, the Biden administration said health officials are closely monitoring the new coronavirus variant but no decision has yet been made on whether to impose travel restrictions, CNN reports.

Major U.S. airlines including Delta, United, and American Airlines say they too are watching developments about the new COVID-19 variant but have not yet changed their policies or flight plans.

Delta "will continue to work closely with our government partners to evaluate any changes to US policy," the company told CNN.

Delta added that its travel partner Virgin Atlantic has canceled its service between Johannesburg and London-Heathrow.

Horowitz: Is Europe getting crushed by variant completely immune to COVID shots?



With a 62.7% vaccination rate, Austria not only has a higher rate than the U.S., but most of the population has been vaccinated relatively recently, which should give those people better protection. Yet the country is experiencing its most prolific outbreak ever, as we are seeing across the globe, with a near-perfect inverse relationship between vaccination rates and COVID case rates. Now, Austria and other European countries are staring down the barrel of a completely new mutation, which German researchers believe might be completely immune to the vaccine-mediated antibodies.

According to Our World in Data, the Central European countries and the Baltic states currently have the highest case rates per capita in the world.

Most of them have higher case rates per million people than the U.S. ever had, but nearly all of them have recently been vaccinated. Slovenia now has over 1,300 cases per million, more than six times the rate in the U.S. Its vaccination rate is comparable to ours, except that most people were more recently vaccinated, which, if anything, should give them more immunity. Other Central and Eastern European states getting hammered have lower vaccination rates, but the Baltic states have higher rates. Then, of course, there is Ireland, with the highest vaccination rate in the EU, yet cases are surging, particularly in the parts of the country that have near 100% vaccination among adults.

Latvia, despite vaccinating 64% of their population and re-imposing lockdown and continued universal masking now has the 3rd highest rate of covid fatalities in the world (twice as high as the worst day in the USA).\n\nWould it have been worse w/o vaccines?pic.twitter.com/tmyzeBset6

We already know from the U.K. data, the most granular and continuous of all world data, that the vaccine has negative efficacy against cases and increasingly low efficacy against critical illness, as over 82% of all deaths are among the vaccinated, according to the most recent weekly report from the U.K. Health Security Agency data. Now, according to a new study, Europe is likely experiencing a wave of a new variant that is completely immune to all the shots, a wave that will make anyone in the U.S. who has not experienced prior infection and does not have a plan for early treatment susceptible to serious illness.

Trial Site News is reporting on a study from German and Czech researchers who conducted genomic analysis from samples in the border region between Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic. They found that the predominant strain is no longer Delta. It is, in fact, a sublineage of the U.K.'s Alpha SARS-CoV-2 variant, known as B.1.1.7, and is likely responsible for the rapid surge throughout Europe. They believe it is the predominant strain in the Czech Republic, Austria, and Slovakiaand that this mutant is "3.2 fold less sensitive to vaccine-elicited antibodies as compared to other B.1.1.7 variants tested, indicating potential for immune evasion."

The research was funded by the German Ministry of Health, and the lead researcher was Buqing Yi, Ph.D., of the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Virology, Carl Gustav Carus Hospital.

Ironically, Austria's Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg threatened the unvaccinated with a lockdown if cases continue to rise, even though they are likely rising because the vaccine created viral immune escape. Like the prophets of Baal in the Bible, the more these countries vaccinate and face an even more virulent virus, the more they cry out to the same failed gods and blame everyone else for their failures. In reality, as top vaccinologists like Geert Vanden Bossche and Luc Montagnier warned, mass vaccination with a narrow-spectrum vaccine that produces suboptimal antibodies is an obvious candidate for vaccine-mediated viral immune escape.

Denmark, with nearly all adults vaccinated, many of them more recently, is experiencing a surge and is now seeking to reinstate vaccine passports. When will these people ever take responsibility for their own failures rather than instigating a blood libel against those who clearly have nothing to do with the spread?

Just consider the fact that the case rates are much higher in every age group over 30 in the U.K. among the vaccinated. In the case of 40- to 49-year-olds, the case rate is 2.3 times higher among the vaccinated!

Looking back at the original infection rate chart, we see infection rates in the 18-29 cohort among vaxxed & unvaxxed converging over time. Remember that all sub-cohorts in that 18-29 group crossed the 50% vaxx rate threshold between weeks 36 & 38, or 6-8 weeks ago.pic.twitter.com/tuW8WLlv2s

In Singapore, they are now saying that the government will not cover the cost of medical care for those without the shots, even though nearly all adults in the country are vaccinated. Yet despite that fact, they now have the worst surge ever, averaging what would be the equivalent of 800 deaths a day in the U.S. And that is high for Singapore, given the population's excellent health status and low obesity rates. The fact that this is much worse than ever before – following universal vaccination – is a clear indictment of the vaccine, yet that is what happens in a global blood libel.

The scary implication of this reality of record cases post-vaccination and new mutants completely immune to vaccine antibodies is that we are now forcing a dangerous vaccine that only has risk and almost zero benefit. Take Austria, for example, where the vaccines clearly are not working. According to Fact Sheet Austria, which downloaded excess death data straight from the government's sources, there has been a 33% increase in excess deaths through week 40 of this year for 15- to 24-year-old males and a 21% increase in deaths for 25- to 34-year-olds. It makes no sense to blame those deaths on the virus, because the number of COVID deaths in those age cohorts accounted for just a handful of people. Also, excess deaths among females in that age cohort were down.

Clearly this is another disturbing signal about possible cardiovascular issues among younger males who get the shots. Which would also explain why so many young male athletes are suddenly dropping like flies.

If we continue to follow the path of a failed vaccine-only strategy to this pandemic, we will wind up with a ton of excess deaths and no treatment for COVID when the shots fail. The question now is which will be the first state to change course from Pfi$er's greedy and selfish strategy that succeeds in nothing but lining its own pockets.

Horowitz: No, this is not an epidemic of the unvaccinated



Those in favor of mass forced vaccination have an amazing narrative, or at least they think they do. They think that a bunch of "low vaccinated" areas are getting hit strongly with the virus and that somehow this is "an epidemic of the unvaccinated."

But when you open your eyes a crack, you can see that almost every area of America is relatively highly vaccinated for adults and especially seniors and that the virus is bizarrely spreading uncontrollably out of season, even in northern latitudes and even in areas with virtual universal adult vaccination. In fact, what this phenomenon might point to is not only a complete lack of power of vaccination to stop the spread, but also that it is serving as an unnatural viral escape mechanism to create durable and prolific mutations that would not have been created absent mass vaccination.

The truth about the southern states, seasonality, and vaccination rates

India had a low vaccination rate of 3% when cases began to plummet in mid-spring, and indeed the country achieved close to de facto herd immunity without the vaccine. On the other hand, no place in America truly has a low vaccination rate. Even states like Arkansas have 85% of seniors with at least one dose and 71% with two doses. It simply makes no sense that with the degree of efficacy the "experts" ascribe to the vaccine, we would be witnessing this amount of spread. What's more, Florida actually has a higher vaccination rate than California among seniors and a pretty solid overall rate.

Yet cases are spreading in places like Florida quicker than they did a year ago with much less immunity and 0% vaccinated last summer. There's no way the unvaccinated alone could explain this phenomenon, because even if the vaccine didn't exist today at all, we should be seeing less, not more spread, than last year, simply based on built-up immunity. Thus, this indicates something of a negative effect of the vaccine.

Obviously, we all expected to experience a summer uptick in the South because, as we saw last year, southern latitudes tend to get a wave in the hot months of the year, known as the "Hope-Simpson curve." However, this degree of spread makes no sense. Moreover, unlike last year, when the virus was essentially dead north of the 35th parallel in the summer, cases are spreading much more, despite extremely high rates of vaccination. Cases in New York and New Jersey are running four to five times higher than this week last year. San Francisco, with most adults vaccinated (and masked), is experiencing its greatest spread yet — all out of season.

Fully masked San Francisco, with one of the highest vaccination rates on earth, has now matched their highest case… https://t.co/9Rjm3G9jmG

— IM (@ianmSC) 1628451826.0

We can only imagine what these northern latitudes will experience in season, with the vaccination rates having a negative effect on the case rate.

Wherever one stands on the vaccine, the case explosion makes no sense. There are twice as many cases in the U.S. this week than this time last year, without any vaccine and with nearly half the country already immune. There is simply no way the unvaccinated could account for this degree of spread, because last year everyone was unvaccinated (plus fewer with natural immunity), yet we are seeing both greater numbers and off-season spread in climates that should not be getting a summer spread. For example, Oregon has nearly five times the number of cases over last year with very high vaccination rates.

Mass-vaccinated countries getting slammed with prolific spread

Our observations in America are accentuated in other countries, where entire populations are fully vaccinated. The entire adult population of Gibraltar is vaccinated, yet the country has one of the highest case per capita rates and the fifth-highest death rate. Israel was the poster child for successful vaccination, after draconian lockdowns and mask mandates, yet 17 months into this, the Israelis have double the case rate of this time last year. Then we are also seeing even northern climates get an out-of-season spread, like the U.K. last month and Iceland at present. Iceland's cases have gone up exponentially despite near-universal adult vaccination. Iceland has never seen any spread like this during the entire epidemic. How can it be that the worst spread is taking place after near-universal adult vaccination?

Everyone is quick to point out that most of these places, Iceland included, are not experiencing deaths, which they credit to the vaccines rather than the virus becoming less deadly (as we saw in India with a low vaccination rate).

If vaccines are causing the de-coupling of cases and fatalities, what explains what is happening in Finland?Cases… https://t.co/38g05u3aJQ

They claim the vaccine ameliorates symptoms. That may very well be true – at least temporarily, before it wears off, as we are seeing in Israel – but clearly it is not doing one iota to stop the spread, and clearly the vaccinated are spreading the virus just as prolifically as the non-vaccinated. Unlike in America, some of these other countries (or places like San Francisco) are almost exclusively composed of vaccinated adults.

And let's not forget that in March, April, and May, when the South was completely clear, the Northeast and upper Midwest – with their impervious restrictions and mask mandates in place, along with already high vaccination rates – had high case counts.

Thus, we've never seen any correlation of the vaccines with better outcomes on a macro level.

So why are cases worse than ever before?

There is no scientifically proven answer to this, but we should find out soon enough. With strong evidence from two Israeli studies that the efficacy of the vaccines even against severe illness wanes after about five months, particularly for the people who need it the most, and Fauci downright admitting they won't work against some variants, perhaps it's time to study Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche's concern that we are making things worse.

Bossche, a former top vaccinologist at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, clearly not an anti-vaxxer, has been frantically warning that mass vaccination (especially with a narrow spike protein vaccine) during the middle of a pandemic is unprecedented and comes with a degree of risk. He warns that weak and waning antibodies from the vaccine can create a natural selection for the virus to mutate around and induce a vicious cycle of endless strengthening of the virus, at least quantitatively if not qualitatively. This is the exact opposite of what Fauci is saying – that somehow more mass vaccination equals less viral immune escape.

Here is a small synopsis of Dr. Bossche's warning from March, when there was little evidence to support his concern:

Why is nobody worried about "immune escape" whereas Covid-19 has already escaped people's innate immunity as reflected by multiple emerging, much more infectious, viral variants (most likely due to the global implementation of infection prevention measures)? Vaccine deployment in the ongoing mass immunization campaigns are highly likely to further enhance (adaptive) immune escape as none of the current vaccines will prevent replication/ transmission of viral variants. The more we use these vaccines for immunizing people in the midst of a pandemic, the more infectious the virus will become. With increasing infectiousness comes an increased likelihood of viral resistance to the vaccines. It's not exactly rocket science, it's a basic principle taught in a student's first vaccinology class: One shouldn't use a prophylactic vaccine in populations exposed to high infectious pressure (which is now certainly the case as multiple highly infectious variants are currently circulating in many parts of the world). To fully escape selective immune pressure exerted by vaccinal antibodies, Covid-19, a highly mutable virus, only needs to add another few mutations in its receptor-binding domain ...
I am beyond worried about the disastrous impact this would have on our human "race". Not only would people lose vaccine-mediated protection but also their precious, variant-nonspecific (!), innate immunity will be gone (this is because vaccinal antibodies outcompete natural antibodies for binding to Covid-19, even when their affinity for the viral variant is relatively low).

Fast-forward five months, and Moderna has already warned everyone will need a third dose, something that is already under way in Israel. But this is akin to giving last year's flu shot to this year's strain. We will continue chasing our tails. Rather than achieving natural immunity, which is much broader and longer-lasting – and using cheap medicines to get people through the virus safely – we will continue to make the virus worse in the long run while continuously offering shorter-term protection for those vaccinated themselves. Israel is already seeing hospitalization from the brand-new third injection!

Iceland's Chief Epidemiologist Þórólfur Guðnason appears to finally understand the failures of the past and the only way forward. When I point to Iceland's unprecedented spread post-universal vaccination, opponents are quick to point out the country's terrific record on preventing deaths. However, notwithstanding the fact that (for whatever reason) Icelandic people appeared to do better with this virus even before the vaccine, their chief epidemiologist clearly understands that 0% efficacy for cases is an obvious harbinger of waning efficacy against critical illness in the future. Which is why in a recent interview he lamented that vaccination failed to achieve herd immunity and conceded that nothing we do, short of focusing on those vulnerable, will stop the natural progression toward herd immunity, whether we like it or not.

"We need to somehow navigate this way, and we are now in this, not to get too many serious illnesses so that the hospital system does not collapse, but still try to achieve this herd immunity by letting the virus somehow run," said Guðnason [translated from Icelandic via google translate].

Thus, as Bossche has been warning, you can't vaccinate your way out of a pandemic. Fortunately, we need not choose between ineffective and harmful interventions and simply letting the virus rip us without protection. There are numerous ways to treat this virus early and even preventively, if only our government would facilitate a new plan. But alas, the administration would rather constantly lead us to hell than follow others on a new path to heaven.

Horowitz: The Delta deception: New COVID variant might be less deadly



"This COVID variant will be the one to really get us. No, it's this one. Well, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma weren't a problem, but I promise you 'the Delta' spells the end of civilization."

That is essentially the panic porn dressed up as science that we have been treated to ever since the virus declined in January following the winter spread, which appears to have given us a great deal of herd immunity. Despite the advent of the British and South African variants, cases, not to mention fatalities, have continued to plummet in all of the places where those variants were supposedly common. Which is why they are now repeating the same mantra about the "Delta" variant from India.

The headlines are screaming with panic over the impending doom of the Delta variant hitting the U.S.:

  • "WHO says delta is the fastest and fittest Covid variant and will 'pick off' most vulnerable" (CNBC)
  • "Highly contagious Delta variant could cause next COVID-19 wave: 'This virus will still find you'" (CBS)
  • "Delta Variant Gains Steam in Undervaccinated U.S. Counties" (Bloomberg)
  • "The Delta variant might pose the biggest threat yet to vaccinated people" (Business Insider)

And of course, no list would be complete without the headline from Dr. Fauci yesterday, stating that the "Delta variant is the greatest threat in the US."

The implication from these headlines is that somehow this variant is truly more transmissible and deadly (as the previous variants were falsely portrayed to be), they escape natural immunity and possibly the vaccine — and therefore, paradoxically, you must get vaccinated and continue doing all the things that failed to work for the other variants!

After each city and country began getting ascribed its own "variant," I think the panic merchants realized that the masses would catch on to the variant scam, so they decided to rename them Alpha (British), Beta (South African), Gamma (Brazilian), and Delta (Indian), which sounds more like a hierarchy of progression and severity rather than each region simply getting hit when it's in season until the area reaches herd immunity.

However, if people would actually look at the data, they'd realize that the Delta variant is actually less deadly. These headlines are able to gain momentum only because of the absurd public perception that somehow India got hit worse than the rest of the world. In reality, India has one-seventh the death rate per capita of the U.S.; it's just that India got the major winter wave later, when the Western countries were largely done with it, thereby giving the illusion that India somehow suffered worse. Now, the public health Nazis are transferring their first big lie about what happened in India back to the Western world.

Fortunately, the U.K. government has already exposed these headlines as a lie, for those willing to take notice. On June 18, Public Health England published its 16th report on "SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation in England," this time grouping the variants by Greek letters.

As you can see, the Delta variant has a 0.1% case fatality rate (CFR) out of 31,132 Delta sequence infections confirmed by investigators. That is the same rate as the flu and is much lower than the CFR for the ancestral strain or any of the other variants. And as we know, the CFR is always higher than the infection fatality rate (IFR), because many of the mildest and asymptomatic infections go undocumented, while the confirmed cases tend to have a bias toward those who are more evidently symptomatic.

In other words, Delta is literally the flu with a CFR identical to it. This is exactly what every respiratory pandemic has done through history: morphed into more transmissible and less virulent form that forces the other mutations out since you get that one. Nothing about masks, lockdowns, or experimental shots did this. To the extent this really is more transmissible, it's going to be less deadly, as is the case with the common cold. To the extent that there are areas below the herd immunity threshold (for example, in Scotland and the northwestern parts of the U.K.) they will likely get the Delta variant (until something else supplants it), but fatalities will continue to go down.

According to the above-mentioned report, the Delta variant represented more than 75% of all cases in the U.K. since mid-May. If it really was that deadly, it should have been wreaking havoc over the past few weeks.

You can see almost a perfect inverse relationship between hospitalization rates throughout April and May plummeting as the Delta variant became the dominant strain of the virus in England. Some areas might see a slight oscillation from time to time as herd immunity fills in, regardless of which variant is floating around. However, the death burden is well below that of a flu season and is no longer an epidemic.

As for vaccines, there is no evidence that somehow they provide better protection than prior infection from any other strain of the virus, nor does the Delta variant justify further use of these experimental shots. If anything, the U.K. data show that, to the extent there were deaths due to the Delta variant, there were more fatalities among those already vaccinated relative to the number of confirmed cases by vaccination status.

Again, the numbers are low across the board and there is no evidence the Delta variant is anything but less deadly for anyone. But there is certainly no evidence that somehow the vaccine is a greater imperative because of this variant. India itself appears to have achieved herd immunity – with the WHO estimating infection rates between 60% and 75% in most places – with one-seventh the death rate of England, but with one-fourth the percentage of people who have receive one dose of the vaccine.

Thus, the good news is that now that most countries have reached a large degree of herd immunity, there is zero threat of hospitals being overrun by any seasonal increase in various areas, no matter the variant. The bad news is that after Delta, there are Epsilon and 19 other letters of the Greek alphabet, which will enable the circuitous cycle of misinformation, fear, panic, and control to continue. And remember, as there is already a "Delta+," the options are endless until our society finally achieves immunity to COVID panic porn.

Canada's 'alarming' third COVID-19 wave is 'killing faster and younger' as provinces enact new lockdowns, restrictions



Canada's third COVID-19 wave is reportedly "killing faster and younger," according to reports, and is fueled by new coronavirus variants.

According to a Sunday report from Insider, the country's third wave is affecting young people more severely than ever before, and health experts believe it's because of emerging strains of COVID-19 mutations.

The burgeoning wave is prompting new lockdowns and coronavirus restrictions across the country.

What are the details?

On Saturday, Canada surpassed 1 million confirmed COVID-19 cases, and hard-hit areas such as British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec are implementing new restrictions to mitigate the spread of the deadly virus.

Dr. Theresa Tam, the country's chief public health officer, recently announced a 64 percent increase in COVID-19 cases involving new coronavirus variants, 90 percent of which include the B.1.1.7 and P1 variants.

"Ontario in particular has reported an influx of much younger patients in ICUs," the outlet added. "Nearly half of the provinces's COVID-19 ICU patients are under the age of 60, officials announced this week."

This week, Adalsteinn Brown, senior science adviser to Ontario's government, announced that the variants are "killing faster and younger."

"It's spreading far more quickly than it was before and we cannot vaccinate quickly enough to break this third wave," Brown revealed.

Ontario, according to Insider, has enacted a month-long "emergency brake" in response to the rising infections.

"The new restrictions will shut down gyms, indoor dining, and personal care services," the outlet reported.

For its part, Quebec implemented a lockdown in at least three cities, and has shuttered all schools and non-essential businesses, and British Columbia has placed a temporary ban on indoor dining, church services, and more.

Dr. Kashif Pirzada, an emergency services physician in Toronto, told CNN that the spread is nothing short of alarming.

"It's spreading quickly, and it's much faster than in the last two waves," Pirzada explained. "The people filling the ICU right now are all in their 30s, 40s, and 50s."

What else?

According to a Sunday report from CBC News, the federal government administered 6 million COVID-19 vaccines at the time of this reporting.

Procurement Minister Anita Ananda told CBC on Friday, "We're expecting millions and millions more doses over the next weeks and months," and said that at least 44 million vaccine doses are expected to arrive by June's end.

In comparison, the outlet reported, the United states administered at least 161,688,422 COVID-19 vaccine doses as of Saturday morning.
