Is Omicron The Last Variant?

As I mentioned in my weekend post last week, The Powers That Be have been trying to crank up the hysteria over the Omicron variant, pushing the narrative that everyone needs to be vaccinated to hep protect them from it despite evidence that a very large percentage of those testing positive, whether or not they are symptomatic, were fully vaccinated, with some also having had a booster.

There’s also a lot of evidence that the Omicron variant is nowhere near as severe as The Powers That Be need it to be.

I quoted Richard Friedland, head honcho of South Africa’s largest health provider: “I actually think there is a silver lining here and this may signal the end of COVID-19, with it attenuating itself to such an extent that it’s highly contagious, but doesn’t cause severe disease.”

Indeed. As of last week, non-deadly omicron had almost completely crowded out the barely-deadly delta variant, accounting for three-quarters of all new cases.

Nevertheless, I had to read a week’s worth of warnings from our nation’s 24/7 panic mongers that we still didn’t know enough about omicron to give the All Clear! signal. Keep those double-masks on and stay hidden in the basement.

Well, is a 90% decrease in hospitalizations and exactly zero omicron deaths enough for our professional panic-mongers?

Probably not.

Is anyone with half a lick of sense still paying attention to them?

Certainly not.

They’re going to push the “We’re all gonna DIE if you don’t do what we tell you to do!” narrative for everything they can. It’s the easiest way for them to maintain control of the people, the economy, and the country. So Omicron will be portrayed as the latest version of the Black Plague, but the people won’t be buying into it.
