The Omicron Opportunity
For the second time, Covid offers the "experts" an opportunity. Will they take it THIS time?
I remember the first days after Covid became a buzzword in the news and in our lives, those first hazy days where it was a vague, unknown threat, driving fear into the hearts of everyone following what the mainstream media and government experts dished up. People all over the world fell ill with a novel virus, some died. Borders were closed, lockdowns imposed and panic reigned.
However, I recall very early on, in the first week or two, I said to my wife: “There`s something peculiar about this disease that I don`t understand and cannot recall was the case in any previous pandemic - there are no reports of children dying or falling seriously ill.” Over the next weeks, that became evident: Children seemed to have natural resistance to the virus, in the sense that they could become infected, but apart from a few rare cases with co-morbidities, almost never got significantly sick.
In retrospect, what an incredible blessing that was - saving society the heartbreak of seeing the most precious and vulnerable part of the population, our children, suffer and die from a novel virus for which there was no known cure. But it also offered a unique opportunity: A means to arrive at herd immunity - the point where the majority of the population have survived and have obtained natural immunity - by using the non-adult population as super spreaders while putting all effort and resources into protecting the most vulnerable: The elderly, those with predisposing factors like being immune-impaired and those with co-morbidities and the morbidly obese.
Just a thought. I know, retrospect is a perfect science. And no politician would have had the balls to do something so radical and controversial, anyway. But it may have worked.
Now, with reports about the new Omicron variant emerging, I thought the virus may just have offered us with an incredible second opportunity. Things like these have hit my inbox: See here and here. To quote from it, the Telegram account of a well-known South African doctor who have treated hundreds, if not thousands of covid patients:
I have been treating Omicron variant patients for more than 2 weeks now.
Slightly more vaccinated than unvaccinated patients have approached me but there is no difference between the two groups with regard to the fact that it is a low intensity infection. (I have been in contact with several GP practises which report the same statistics)
EVERYBODY has overall mild or self-limiting disease with one or two bad days of body aches, fatigue, sore throat and fever.
I still treat proactively from day one and I see full resolution of illness between 5-7 days. Like a flu there is maybe some coughing and phlegm that remains a little longer.
This is not remotely the Covid that I have become used to the last 12 months.
Read all that again. ALL the patients with Omicron were affected less than with the flu, no serious illness, no hospitalisation or deaths. And this is reported by several GP`s all over South Africa.
Once again, I started thinking: What if… How about we have super-spreader events, infect as many people in New Zealand as possible with this mild Omicron strain as quickly as possible. Go overboard in providing protection for the vulnerable, well-defined cohorts that should be protected. By now, the “experts” should know exactly who they are. We could have 90% of the population achieving natural immunity within 2 months, I guess. With 99.9% of them having mild flu-like symptoms. An infinitively better outcome than the pipe dream of overcoming the pandemic with 90% vaccination rates using a leaky, ineffective vaccine providing limited protection that wanes fast - some studies indicate that zero protection after 7 months after the second injection could not be ruled out - see here.
I soon stopped dreaming. Apart from the same obstacle as mentioned in the dream about the children used to reach herd immunity - no politician would have the balls. But more importantly and more prohibitively obstructive, is the fact that anything achieving herd immunity with say, more than 80% of the population reaching natural immunity, will deny the pharmaceutical criminal cabal that drives all of the mainstream narrative, billions, if not eventually trillions in revenues. No more need to be said. I have asked myself repeatedly during this saga: Qui Bono - Who Benefits? Follow the money.
Ah, well. It was just an idea…
To end off, just a few figures that struck me in the last week. Please forgive me for a rounding error or 2. From the government`s own official website on covid vaccine adverse effects and deaths, or from daily government puppet shows or Cindy and Chris the Hobbits mouth: Total number of people diagnosed with covid infection up to date in NZ: 11 000. Total deaths from the start in NZ: 43. Most were over 85, most had other had co-morbidities and some of these certainly died from other causes, with covid. That translates to 0.4%. If I have it right, the current outbreak has 5000 cases, 15 deaths, or 0.3%. Ditto the likeliness of these 15 deaths to have been from other causes. And in case anybody argues that thats because of the good government health system: No, 90%+ of the 5000 are or were treating themselves at home with Panadols and cough syrup. And they`re closing the borders, shutting down the economy and plunging NZ into a traffic light system that turns us into an autocratic police state. Go figure. Number of deaths from current covid outbreak : 15. Number of vaccine related deaths reported: 103, of which 84 are reported to be either "unlikely to be vaccine related" or "under investigation". Yeah, right…

Thanks for great articles Fern Guy. Keep up the good work
Very logical analysis of what could be if only this was not about an ideological drive rather than public health. Indeed, the O-moron variant could be viewed as a golden ticket out of this mess. But as you indicate, for the politicians and Big Pharma Mafia, it will be the end of the totalitarian gravy train. I think if you take into account that at least one 26 year old Kiwi has died from the vaccine (even reported in mainstream media), then already in terms of life years lost, the mRNA injections are a nett loss in terms of life years saved.
