Wuhan virus 2020

Washing hands causes more harm than good. We have super bugs created due to soap. Do you even know what is in soap? The government only makes people wash hands because Monsanto and Dial paid for fake studies that said washing hand is good. You don't need to wash your hands outside of showers unless you get poop on them. Maybe. [/BS]

A safe way to fight bug pandemics is to raise the national flag and play the national anthem.

Researchers say there was a "very large drop" in how well the vaccine's antibodies neutralised the new strain.

But the WHO's Dr Mike Ryan said there was no sign Omicron would be better at evading vaccines than other variants.

"We have highly effective vaccines that have proved effective against all the variants so far, in terms of severe disease and hospitalisation, and there's no reason to expect that it wouldn't be so" for Omicron, Dr Ryan, the WHO's emergencies director, told AFP news agency.

He said initial data suggested Omicron did not make people sicker than the Delta and other strains. "If anything, the direction is towards less severity," he said.

In the news here in Denmark it is said that they can have an updated vaccine against omicron in March.

Someone said though more effective our vaccine gets though more resistant the virus gets.

^ That may well be the case for many years to come.

Nobody I know is waving flags and playing national anthems. But that’s exactly what happened when some governments raised their flag and changed into full blown nationalist authoritarian states and started closing borders, refusing foreign visitors and issuing mandates and government vaccine passports.

If getting your three doses of vaccine and endless boosters for the rest of your life helps you sleep better at night go for it. And for those that don’t want too then don’t. It’s none of my business what y’all want to do.

Thwe good news is that while Imikron may be way more infectous, it seems to not cause a more severe going in symptoms.



BioNTech/Pfizer say they could bring out their new and adapted vaccine in or at the end of March, but that nobody should wait to booster with the so far existing vaccines.


No doubt that this pandemic is a spilling coin dwell for producers of these vaccines, and will remain to be that for years to come. In cas eofd BioNTech this means they could heaily invest in developing their vaccine on mRNA basis against Malaria and Cancer-triggering factors. The high profits for pharmaceutical companies always have two sides, a good and economically necessary one, and a selfish greedy one.

Pfizer and BioNTech have said a booster jab of their coronavirus vaccine promises to be an effective defence against the new Omicron variant.

Three doses provide a similar level of antibodies against Omicron to that of two doses with other variants, the companies said after a small study.

The World Health Organization (WHO) earlier said vaccines should still work against severe Omicron cases.

^ Its just that after 3 months the defence provided against infection in the first has fallen to a quarter and less. It still is unclear whether the prteciton against serious case symptoms alsod elcines as fast, and this must not necessarily be, because that depends more on T-cells and not on antibody levels.



If the infection rate would not be so hilariously high, we maybe would not need to care for this bug that much at all, but as long as infeciton rates are such that they clog and lock down hospitals, we must. - That is what obviously you still do not understand, Rockstar.

A further 131 cases of the Omicron variant have been confirmed in the UK, the UK Health Security Agency says.

It takes the total number of confirmed cases to 568.

Clogging what hospitals? My understanding is that over here we’ve been closing hospitals, reducing staff and beds for quite sometime now.

There a very good reason to why Corona mutated in South Africa.

Less than 5 percent is fully vaccinated in that country-which gives the virus good condition to mutate.

The next huge mutation will occur in areas where a lower part of the population is fully vaccinated-Less than 20 %

Skybird doesn't know anything about our hospitalization rates. He peeks out of his foreign basement every month or two, sees his shadow and then runs back inside to his computer in order to lecture and give unqualified medical advice to everyone.

Same here in Denmark. Our nurses and doctors are under huge pressure-Not because Corona patient....no...due to lack of nurses and doctors.

The Danish hospital need thousands of nurses and hundreds of doctors.

Medical advise !?
Is giving advise about vitamin and elements the same as medical advise.

I thought advising about certain pills against some disease/sickness was medical advise.

The other thing is what your local pharmacies advise you to take to strengthen your body defense.

You could ask if him if he's a pharmacist
