A bit of a slow days so far, but here are a few stories of interest. Yesterday the AP said they would no longer be using Covid case counts because of their unreliability and the difficulty in connecting those counts to reality. Today: "We Failed": Danish Newspaper Apologizes For Publishing Official COVID Narratives Without Questioning Them
Part I: Introduction and Examining Phylogenetic Trees
"It’s been over two years since the first reports of a strange “pneumonia-like illness” began to sprout from Wuhan China. Eventually erupting into a global pandemic, many questions were raised about the origins of the virus. The first reports considered a wet market serial passage through animals such as pangolins. However, the presence of a level 4 biosafety lab nearby the wet market, with evidence of gain-of-function research being conducted, with evidence of experimentation on bat coronaviruses, and with the evidence of bat coronaviruses infecting coal miners several years back being collected and stored, all cast doubt on this “wet market” hypothesis.
Even still, we have no clear evidence of where exactly SARS-COV2 came from.
And then comes the sudden emergence of Omicron. Prior SARS-COV2 variants, although abundant in their mutations, at least exhibited predictable mutations. These variants also tended to follow a similar route of higher infectivity with somewhat reduced virulence (although Delta seems to be both more infectious and virulent).
But Omicron is different; preliminary evidence suggests it’s far more infectious than prior variants and is likely to have an R0 nearly double that of Delta. But it is, in nearly most circumstances, presenting as mild disease. In fact, it’s considered to be the on par with seasonal colds and flus in presentation (there are still those who will suffer severe disease, but it appears those numbers are reduced with Omicron).
Even more strangely, it appears to escape any prior immunity, whether it be from natural infection or prior vaccination regimens, attributed to the “unusually high” number of spike protein mutations. This effect is being seen directly with respect to monoclonal antibody therapy, with most monoclonals in use losing effectiveness aside from Sotrovimab.
Overall, Omicron has presented itself as its own unique beast unlike any of the prior variants we have experienced, which begs the questions as to why Omicron is so different than prior variants, leading to the main concern as to where Omicron may have come from.”
Right from the start this has been the question people keep asking. Where has Ominous Omicron been hiding all this time? Or, who has been hiding it all this time?
Hmm... media divergence from government... no longer mouthpieces. Extrication from known upcoming problems? They don't have morals... or at least they never did before... so maybe they can see lawsuits coming and want to cut them off at the pass? Good luck pols you are on your own?
Have you heard anyone talking/writing about this? Published last September:
A Possible Side Effect of Merck's Oral COVID-19 Drug should alarm the Public
A rush for molnupiravir's approval could lead to disaster.

Yes.

Yes, this totally. But they've been doing that since the beginning. Omicron exposed the lies.
