Again, the #imf is seriously *wrong* https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/imf-.. #inflation is #delta change in #money value, meaning that the current change is living standards is here to stay. The #imf believes there will be #growth - these are the same people who #failed to #predict 2008.
Wow, a #senator in the #us is wanting to #increase #taxes of the #unvaccinated against #covid , for some reason? https://www.zerohedge.com/political/new-.. Bare in mind, #omicron is not nearly the same as the #delta #variant ...
So it looks like we now need to be #worried about a new #delta #omicron #hybrid #covid #variant called #deltacron https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/growi.. Can't wait to see what the boys in the #lab have cooked up next!
Not a great time to be #hoarding #flying #points https://viewfromthewing.com/5-things-del.. Apparently #delta are screwed if people tried to #redeem their #skymiles ... They are on the hook for some $7.6 #billion #dollars - some of which is being #paid by the #us #taxpayer ...
Glad to hear that #aardvark is beginning to #question the #narrative on #covid https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2022/0111.s.. You must #beware of #omicron ! For it cannot be distinguished from the normal #flu ... I think if that really is the case, with it outcompeting the #delta #variant - we're done now. No more #vaccines , no more #boosters , no more #passports , no more #restrictions . It has become an acceptable level of #risk - it will not #overwhelm the #health system. Checkout the #uk !
The #who so far are reporting #zero #omicron #covid #deaths and it appears to have easily beaten out the #delta #variant https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/who-o.. Sounds like to me that we now have the *real* #vaccine - a #dominant non- #deadly #strain ! Perfect. #infect everybody with this once it is #confirmed !
The new #omicron #covid #variant may end up being more #lethal that #delta - it certainly seems to have a greater #spread rate: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/mm.. Not good.
Looks like #china definitely has the #covid #delta #india #variant now: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/covid.. People are also now #panicbuying #food after the #government told people to 'prepare' for a #war on #taiwan ... What the hell is going on over there?
Apparently a year-long #study shows that #vaccinated persons and #unvaccinated persons are *just as likely* to #spread #delta #covid as the #viralload is about the same: https://timcast.com/news/vaccinated-peop.. #alpha #covid on the other hand was #restricted much further. Expect a " #delta #vaccine " in a few months time based on the #mrna methods... This will never fucking end.
Worth keeping an eye on this #covid #delta #india #variant that appears to have popped up in the #uk https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/mutat.. So far it's not clear which will win out.
@barray on Thu Oct 07 13:24:21 UTC 2021 said: &eAlso if you've already had #covid - you don't need a #vaccine - your #immunesystem has already responded and created #antibodies ... Also there's a good chance that your #immunity will be better if it's #delta #variant #immunity rather than a #vaccine aimed at the #alpha #variant . As I said previously, your #immunesystem will also create #antibodies to multiple parts of the #virus - not just the #spikeprotein ... In theory #natural #immunity is more #robust the #mutations ...As I suspected, the #idea of #longcovid being a #sideeffect of #covid is actually mostly #bullshit https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/long-.. This of course makes sense - #natural #immunity means you are #immune to multiple parts of the #virus , not just the #spikeprotein ... Also covered by #zerohedge https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/verit..
Apparently the #covid #mu #variant is not nearly as #dominant as the #delta #variant - something that was #predicted by #vaccine #virus #experts https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/mu-va.. Unfortunately that means that the more #deadly #strain will remain the most #spread variant.
Once you have *had* #covid - it's pretty much the same as a #vaccination https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/lawye.. You still are just building #immunity to the #proteinspike - and if you get the #delta #variant then it might be even more effective. Probably still advisable to get a #booster #jab if you're #highrisk later down the line, but these people shouldn't be #shunned ... If already got immunity, they will get really #ill too.
As #aardvark points out, the #pfizer #vaccine is not particularly effective against the #delta #india #strain of #covid https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0903.s.. This means that for #nz - they will unlikely be able to come out of a Country-wide #border #lockdown and they will need to remain in #quarantine if the goal is still #zerocases ... Not good news...
There you have it, #israel openly declare that #vaccinations *do not work* against the #delta #india #variant of #covid https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/.. They have the world's *highest* level of #vaccine rollout. I mentioned a while back that irrespective of these results, it's now time to end the #covidlockdown ...
