Catching Up With Covid 12/2/21
I have two items that I want to paste in, but first … Ominous Omicron.
If you’ve been following the news today, you’ll have noticed three things:
More and more cases of Ominous Omicron are popping up;
Every case I’ve heard of has occurred in fully vaxxed individuals; and
The symptoms have been mild.
I listened to a portion of a podcast of Steve Bannon speaking with Robert Malone. Bannon brought up an interesting issue regarding the origin of Ominous Omicron. This had to do with something that was widely reported initially—that Ominous Omicron sports a remarkable number (fifty) of mutations, by comparison with other variants, such as the Dread Delta. Could this be a sign, Bannon asked, that Ominous Omicron was an engineered job?
Malone first stressed that Ominous Omicron so far seems way overhyped, and he suggested that this was happening for a political purpose—to justify more repressive measures by the Covid Regime. If so, it seems to be falling flat. Despite constant fear porn in the MSM the only people who appear to be concerned are Dems, according to polling.
On the other hand, Malone agreed that the sheer number of mutations in Ominous Omicron appears to place it outside the main evolutionary development of the virus. While not willing to speculate what that means, he did state forthrightly that that calls for investigation, because it isn’t an expected development by most scientific standards.
OK.
Two items. First, pasted in from TGP via FR—this should be self explanatory:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released the first batch of documents related to Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine after a federal judge ordered that they must comply with a massive Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that was filed by a government accountability group called Public Health and Medical Professionals for Transparency.
The esteemed group of more than 30 professors and scientists asked the federal government to share any and all data that factored into the agency’s hasty decision to grant Pfizer’s experimental mRNA vaccine an emergency use authorization (EUA) – which amounts to a trove of over 329,000 documents.
In a shameless effort to bury the information, the FDA challenged the FOIA request in court. After the agency was told that it must turn over the documents, Justice Department lawyers representing the FDA asked a federal judge to allow them an unthinkable 55 years to process the request, saying that they would be able to release just 500 pages a month.
…
A motion that was also filed by the same group of doctors and scientists is currently pending in federal court that would force the FDA to expedite processing and releasing these documents.
Meanwhile, the FDA still has to comply with the original order to begin turning over documents. Lo and behold, the first release is a bombshell.
According to an official Pfizer document that is titled Cumulative Analysis of Post-Authorization Adverse Event Records Reports, in just the first 90 days of the vaccine’s roll out under the FDA’s EUA – from December 1st. 2020 – February 28th, 2021 – there were TENS OF THOUSANDS of reported adverse reactions, including OVER 1200 DEATHS.
The report only included adverse events to the vaccine that researchers considered “serious cases,” there were thousands more submissions that were left out of this data.
Any cases deemed “non-serious” would be processed within 90 days, but this report was released before 90 days of Pfizer’s vaccine being available had even passed.
…
What kind of emergency would justify that type of carnage?
The next item was linked by commenter Titan28. I’ve glanced through it and it appears to be very informative about Covid specifically but also about respiratory viruses generally. What I’m pasting in is the intro plus the TOC, so you can judge whether you want to consult it:

If a plumber with a lifetime of experience were to tell you that water runs uphill, you would know he is lying and that the lie is not accidental. It is a lie with a purpose. ...
One of the most common reasons given for mass COVID vaccinations is the idea that if we reach herd immunity through vaccination, we can starve the virus out of existence and get our lives back. It's the COVID-Zero strategy or some variant of it.
By now it is abundantly clear from the epidemiological data that the vaccinated are able to both catch and spread the disease. Clearly vaccination isn't going to make this virus disappear. Only a mind that has lost its grasp on reality can fail to see how ridiculous all this has become.
But a tour through pre-COVID science demonstrates that, from day one, long before you and I had even heard of this virus, it was 100% inevitable and 100% predictable that these vaccines would never be capable of eradicating this coronavirus and would never lead to any kind of lasting herd immunity. Even worse, lockdowns and mass vaccination have created a dangerous set of circumstances that interferes with our immune system's ability to protect us against other respiratory viruses. They also risk driving the evolution of this virus towards mutations that are more dangerous to both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated alike. Lockdowns, mass vaccinations, and mass booster shots were never capable of delivering on any of the promises that were made to the public.
And yet, vaccination has been successfully used to control measles and even to eradicate smallpox. So, why not COVID? ...
This Deep Dive exposes why, from day one, the promise of COVID-Zero can only ever have been a deliberately dishonest shell game designed to prey on a lack of public understanding of how our immune systems work and on how most respiratory viruses differ from other viruses that we routinely vaccinate against. ...
... As this story unfolds it will become clear that the one-two punch of lockdowns and the promise of vaccines as an exit strategy began as a cynical marketing ploy to coerce us into a never-ending regimen of annual booster shots intentionally designed to replace the natural "antivirus security updates" against respiratory viruses that come from hugs and handshakes and from children laughing together at school. We are being played for fools.
This is not to say that there aren't plenty of other opportunists taking advantage of this crisis to pursue other agendas and to tip society into a full-blown police state. One thing quickly morphs into another. …
So, let's dive into the fascinating world of immune systems, viruses, and vaccines, layer by layer, to dispel the myths and false expectations that have been created by deceitful public health officials, pharmaceutical lobbyists, and media manipulators. What emerges as the lies are peeled apart is both surprising and more than a little alarming.

OK, that was THREE things, and CONSTANT.
Re: the 500 pages per month - an experienced document reviewer can read, analyze, code and redact more than 500 pages per DAY, particularly given the sophistication of electronic document review software and the fact that many of these documents are probably email chains with or without attachments. A redaction in the original email will carry over to every iteration of that email in the chain, as well as the coding and any attorney analysis notes. All the reviewer then has to do is code the subsequent emails in the chain and modify the coding and add to the attorney notes if necessary, which are both carried over just as in the original document. For over a decade, I developed litigation strategy on mass tort cases employing large numbers of document reviewers and know this subject intimately. The FDA protestations are rank BS, unless the documents are handwritten and must be reviewed individually.
