What about the new French variant “IHU”? I hear it has more mutations than Omicron…I know, hearing that is just shocking. That will justify the need for unlimited amounts of boosters.
That’s not shocking… that’s what viruses do, they mutate… but I am aware you are just saying dumb things trying to get thumbs up
Thanks for the update! Read about it, it’s a sibling of a variant they knew about a year ago, came out of Cameroon. Only 12 cases detected in France, a few dozen in 3 other countries. Lots of mutations like Omicron, but doesn’t seem to be very contagious or virulent and vaccines without boosters work against it. No cases have been reported in last 10 days. WHO least bit concerned. My thoughts, could Omicron have mutated from this IHU variant?? I’m a biology flunky!
3,200 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic, with less than 400 currently in hospitals
@Riker Davis yup. You can trust everything that comes out of Nigeria and the rest of South Africa. Durr durr durr
@Riker Davis you’re right. You should just let your health care system collapse.
Then big pharma can come in and save everyone who can afford to drop 10K for a broken arm.
@Tanxih8iT Supreme The problem is bureaucracy, not covid. All this could be over today of everyone was honest and transperant.
Perhaps firing any front line workers for being unvaccinated is part of the problem. Calgary and Edmonton closed temporary field hospitals because there wasn’t enough patients.
@COVID 19-2? Oh, that was Aramaic. I don’t expect someone like you to know that though… 👿
@Tanxih8iT Supreme “restrictions work” 😂
Informed consent without coercion.
International and Canadian law.
I don’t think you know what those words mean
In case you are so brainwashed 1 dictionary definition doesn’t work for yah.. here is the definition of a threat..
“Threat-
Definition of threat (Entry 1 of 2)
1 : an expression of intention to inflict evil, injury, or damage
2 : one that threatens
3 : an indication of something impending”
And the definition of force..
“Force
Essential Meaning of force
1 : physical strength, power, or effect
The front of the car took the full force of the collision.
instruments used to measure the force of the wind
2 : power or violence used on a person or thing
The police were accused of using excessive force when they made the arrest.”
Notice how coercion doesn’t apply even in the slightest here??
I refuse to get jabbed or take the faulty tests. 👍
Tanzanian president who was murdered – proved it!
me too
Boost up.👍
Me too
@Alias123 <----- What sounds do a 🐑 make?
Cotton masks are
“Facial decorations”
Completely untrustworthy and the PCR test is completely unreliable
Politicians and health experts are unbelievable
Patient: Doctor will this give me Immunity? Doctor : Only for the manufacturer
Love how it went from last week “we don’t know anything about it” to this week “boosters are 100% effective”
@Guy Pierce there is no study to date on long haul from Omicron! Studies are showing its in the upper bronchi passages, little possibility of long haul. So far, every premier I’ve heard from says Omicron is milder than Delta. Their concern is the surge and high spread and possibility of overwhelmingly our healthcare and sick hospital staff. The unvaccinated have no immunity and we are still dealing with Delta! Omicron is not dominate yet. BC Health Authority states they are waiting for studies out of UK, Denmark, S. A. on Omicron. Looks like studies came out this week confirm its milder (common cold or asymptomatic) for those with immunity. A common cold can cause bronchitis and pneumonia (but more rare) and could require hospitalization.
@Noel Cayer 🤦🏽♂️
Lol!! What a joke. Will never comply.
Is she the one that lied then Apologized gor that 12 year olds cause of death in Alberta?
Indeedly
Yes. He died of untreatable brain cancer. She announced it as a COV death in such a young individual.
I like how it went from 1 million infections to 2 million infections literally overnight. What a sham.
I Notice not a SINGLE Toronto sick kids hospital Virologist is ever on the news…..
Love how it went from last week “we don’t know anything about it” to this week “boosters are 100% effective”
Why do we need constant updates on the cold?… slow news days?
Patient: Doctor will this give me Immunity? Doctor : Only for the manufacturer
