So the world should be watching South Africa over the next few weeks and see what happens as the Omicron strain wears off. Pay less attention to frail Joe Biden with his vaccines rhetoric and Anthony Fauci with his intentional misinformation. Notice how Fauci is not giving definite answers to anything these days but instead giving lists of options and possibilities. Those providing information from South Africa are more forthright with genuine information and don’t seem to be driven or restricted by a vaccine agenda. For example Dr Fauci said that it is a possibility that humans may have to be wearing masks for the rest of their lives, at least on airlines and enclosed public spaces. But the science shows that corona virus do not last forever, at least at pandemic levels. Either they become seasonal or they disappear. Right now they are controlling the masses with fear and manipulation.

‘ “Even with the strong booster campaign, Omicron has to be very significantly less severe than Delta to not likely overwhelm healthcare capacity levels,” said Ewan Birney, deputy director-general of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. “Data from South Africa is interesting and positive about some lower severity of Omicron, but not obviously clear cut that it is at the levels needed.”

‘’The data from figure 4 shows that fully-vaccinated sera with the Moderna vaccine saw a 33-fold drop in neutralization against Omicron, Pfizer a 44-fold drop, and AstraZeneca a 36-fold drop. Notably, Recently released data shows that sera from people who received the third dose lost almost ninety percent of its potency against Omicron after two weeks. After three months, most third-dose sera failed to neutralize at all. This data confirms the epidemiological observations that most fully doubly-vaccinated and triply-vaccinated individuals, including those with prior infection, are susceptible to infection by Omicron within three months of the last boos.tee’

My opinion: if the Omicron variant ‘neutralizes’ all the vaccines resistance to the virus as well as the body’s natural immunity and the patient still recovers and become naturally resistant to Covid, then it has to be establishing some type of immunity in recovered patients. This , then, would suggest, strongly so, that persons who recovered from Omicron should not rush out and get vaccinated or take booster shots. They have natural immunity, at least in the short term, that, apparently can adapt to variants of the virus. Ok change immunity to resistance since some may think ‘immunity’ is too strong a word.

Can the omicron strain restore natural immunity in vaccinated persons? The data seems to suggest it neutralizes all vaccines and established its own immunity/resistance to Covid SARS: The next question they address is whether Omicron escapes neutralization by convalescent sera. Omicron strongly evades natural infection. Current data suggests that those who have been previously infected have little to no protection against Omicron infection. To analyze the degree to which the highly mutated Omicron escapes vaccine antibody neutralization, Cameroni et al. created Wuhan S and Omicron S pseudoviruses to test against a wide variety of existing vaccines. They tested the pseudoviruses against the sera from patients vaccinated with Moderna’s mRNA-1273, Pfizer’s BNT162b2, AstraZeneca’s AZD1222, J&J’s Ad26.COV2.S, Russia’s Sputnik-V, and Sinopharm’s BBIBP-CorV.

the omicron virus appears to have peaked in South Africa. While it was a rapid spreading variant, it appears to have been short lived with minimal hospitalizations and few deaths. And the symptoms appear to be the same fro vaccinated, unvaccinated and those who had booster shots. The best preparation and defense for omicron is to keep a healthy immune system, follow safety protocols and let the variant run its course. Persons who get the strain have mild symptoms and once they recover, they have natural immunity . Rushing to get vaccinated or get booster shots (for Omicron) is unnecessary.

Many are hoping police capture the robbers seen in a video robbing a liquor store and slapping the female store attendant around, despite her complying with his demands. The video left many enraged. And there is at least one other video showing this same person committing a robbery of a food store. This robber seems to be getting more aggressive and has taken to verbally and physically abusing his victims. Hopefully police will catch him before he seriously injures or even kills somebody.

This new wave of crime and violence is worrisome. More like a higher level of lawlessness and less regard for other people’s person and property. And some young men ‘go out’ with the intention of creating problems. The vendors at places like Arawak Cay may need to come up with plans boost security and to reduce overcrowding. It’s no longer one set of gang members warring with another set, but the general public is now the target of crime.

Viewers are outraged after seeing a video of a robbery at a local business establishment. While the female cashier appears to be complying with the armed robber’s demands, he still proceeds to slap her up and manhandle her. There were

south africa is saying the omicron virus is your friend! Despite the rhetoric in the US and elsewhere, daily cases of Omicron in South Africa is now double that of what the Delta strain was at its peak. But hospitalizations remain low and there has been only one recorded DEATH from Omicron. Yes just one death, despite the thousands of cases. No doubt the omicron is here in this country as the number on new cases doubled this week over last week. Symptoms of Omicron are similar to that of a MILD cold or flu. It does NOT include loss of taste or smell. Hospitalized patients do not require supplemental oxygen. The major symptom is fatigue. The major treatment is bed rest and steroids. Patients recover in an average of two days. Recovered persons now have natural immunity and no need to get vaccinated.
