Mass vaccination seems to be driving mutations, variants of COVID-19

STORY-AT-A-GLANCE

  • Another SARS-CoV-2 variant dubbed Omicron has reportedly arisen in fully “vaccinated” patients in Botswana. Handfuls of cases have also emerged in other areas of the world.
  • In response, Japan, Israel and Morocco have closed their borders to all foreign travelers. The U.S., the U.K., Canada, and the European Union have banned travelers from southern Africa specifically. Australia has delayed its reopening plans and China has announced a “zero-tolerance approach” to the new variant.
  • Fear over Omicron is likely unjustified, as it appears far milder than previous strains. Primary symptoms of infection include extreme fatigue for a couple of days, headache, body aches, scratchy throat, and intermittent dry cough. No severe cases have been identified.
  • While the mass vaccination campaign appears to be driving the rapid mutation of the virus, governments around the world continue to double down on this failed strategy.
  • According to National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci, Omicron might evade both monoclonal antibodies and COVID shot-induced antibodies, but he insists getting the COVID shot (if unvaccinated) or a booster if “fully vaccinated” is your best bet.

(Mercola.com) —The inevitable is now here. Another SARS-CoV-2 variant, dubbed Omicron, has reportedly arisen in fully “vaccinated” patients in Botswana [see footnote 1] Handfuls of cases have also emerged in other areas of the world. Judging by the doomsday headlines [see footnote 2] and government-imposed lockdowns and border closings, the technocratic elite would really like everyone to panic about this one.

In response, Japan, Israel, and Morocco immediately closed their borders to all foreign travelers. The U.S., the U.K., Canada, and the European Union banned travelers from southern Africa specifically. Australia delayed its reopening plans, and China announced a “zero-tolerance approach” to the new variant [see footnote 3]. But is the fear justified? Probably not.

While the Omicron variant appears to spread more rapidly than previous mutations and affects people younger than 40 to a greater degree than before, there’s no evidence that it has a higher lethality. On the contrary, it actually may be milder.

That seems to be the opinion of Dr. Angelique Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association, who discovered the Omicron variant, who in a recent interview (see video above) said [see footnote 4]:

“Looking at the mildness of the symptoms that we are seeing — apparently, there’s no reason for panicking as we don’t see severely ill patients… The most predominant complaint is severe fatigue for one or two days, with headache, body aches, and pain.

Some will have a scratchy throat, and some will have a dry cough [that] comes and goes. Those are more or less the big symptoms we have seen.”

Viruses typically mutate into less dangerous variants

This all makes sense, based on what we already know about viruses. As reported by Paul Elias Alexander, Ph.D., with the Brownstone Institute [see footnote 5]:

“The WHO has said the Omicron variant can spread more quickly than other variants. Likely true. The virus is behaving just like how viruses behave.

They are mutable and mutate, and via the Muller’s ratchet theory, we expect these to be milder and milder mutations, not more lethal ones, given the pathogen seeks to infect the host and not arrive at an evolutionary dead end.

The virus will mutate downward so that it can use the host (us) to propagate itself via our cellular metabolic machinery. The Delta variant has shown us this: It is very infectious and mostly non-lethal — specially for children and healthy people …

[T]here is no reporting of increased virulence/lethality of this new Omicron variant, and this will remain the case based on what we’ve seen from Delta and prior variants. There are no guarantees, but we operate based on risk, and all things point to the same for this new variant.

Just because there might be a wave in South Africa does not mean there will be waves in the U.S. or Israel or other places with greater natural immunity. This was the prize of letting people enjoy day-to-day living.

The nations that have ended lockdowns are likely to move past this new variant scare, and be fine.This is more of an overreaction by the WHO and governments and much ado about nothing.”

Is a new round of COVID shots the answer… ?
