In the Bannons War Room interview above, Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the core technology underlying vaccines mRNA and DNA,first assess what we know so far about the so-called Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2.
As noted by Malone, the latest media hype really begins with reports that Africa has a much lower case rate than the rest of the world, despite relatively low COVID infections. Later, the local press reported that South Africa was asking Pfizer to halt their shipments of the vaccinations, as they were still plentiful and most adults refused to take.
The very next day, “we suddenly got a big buzz about this new virus, and the press announced it was coming out of South Africa,” Malone said. The UK almost immediately responded by closing its borders with most of South Africa.
According to media reports, the Omicron variant was detected in Botswana, in four fully “vaccinated” individuals. Doctors in South Africa replied that although the variant had been detected, they had not seen any significant disease from it. All cases to date have been mild and none have required hospitalization.
Coordinating Fear Porn Campaign
In rapid succession, papers were published suggesting the virus had evolved in an AIDS patient and appeared to spread much more readily than previous variants. Calls for concern and demand for new restrictions flooded the airways. As noted by Malone, the press talked about “everything except the obvious, that this is a mutant that got off the ‘vaccinated’.”
Indeed, the variant appears to be highly resistant to COVID shots, which is an indication that it was mutated in one or more individuals injected with COVID, not in someone who had no antibodies to attack. it.
Remember, viruses mutate primarily in response to inadequate immune responses. Among the first recommendations from the mental giants in charge of COVID responses, however, was to step up COVID booster shots, which is preposterous and unscientific.
“The boosters are a perfect way to mess up our immune system, so we can LEAST respond to this new variant,” Malone explained. “This is [like] give people a flu vaccine from three seasons ago and hope it works against the present [flu strains]. ”
Is Omicron another lab creation?
On the nature and origin of Omicron, Malone said:
“It has the hallmarks of a viral agent under tight genetic selection for evolution to escape ‘vaccine’ reactions against the receptor binding region. The question that stands out right now is – because this is so different from the other strains being tracked; it’s in its own separate little evolutionary branch – how did this happen? Why is this all of a sudden with all these new mutations? ”
The mainstream press is reporting that the Omicron mutations are due to the low rate of COVID infection in South Africa, possibly combined with it mutating in a person with AIDS. The solution, we say, is to cover Africa with COVID shots, even though the continent has a phenomenally low case and death rate without the shots. So clearly, this story is trying to reach an ending that is simply not guaranteed by real-world data.
In addition to embarrassing South Africa from receiving so many COVID scans, another potential reason for this story is that they wanted to hide that it was another virus created in a lab. As Malone noted, we have “the looming specter of this being engineered in some way.”
All in all, Omicron is thought to have about 50 mutations from the original Alpha lineage, many of which specifically allow it to disrupt the defenses of antibodies caused by COVID.
While Malone admits he doesn’t follow the virus’s mutations closely and is not qualified to speculate on its evolution, he points out that there is a small minority of experts who believe it could be. went through the editing process in the lab because genetically, it “doesn’t look like it’s part of a previous evolution that we’re seeing with many other strains. “
Until and unless we have convincing evidence of its origin, Malone said, we need to leave all options open and that includes the possibility that Omicron was cooked in the lab from an earlier strain. .
Omicron cases doubled in less than 5 days
So far, we know as little about Omicron as we knew about the original SARS-CoV-2 virus when it first emerged. What we do know is that it is highly contagious, doubling in an average time of 4.8 days, and has a significant ability to evade the “vaccine.”2
According to the Economist,3 Citing data from South Africa’s National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Omicron “appears to have rapidly overtaken Delta disease” in South Africa, as of the first week of December 2021, nearly all schools positive case.
Omicron is a major exotic
One particularly odd feature of Omicron is that the closest gene sequences date back to mid-2020. It does not appear to belong to any of the evolutionary branches that have emerged since. As noted by Professor Trevor Bedford, a computational virologist interviewed by NPR, “This is very rare.”4
In a Twitter post, a user named Chief Nerd, shows a time-lapse graphic5 he created an illustration of the genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 from the original strain to date, using data from nextstrain.org.6
It’s a great illustration of how strange the unnatural Omicron’s appearance really is. As time goes on towards the end of 2021, suddenly there is Omicron, emerging as a straight line from a mid-2020 strain with no resemblance to any other strain.
There is no precedent for this strangeness to occur in nature. However, there is precedent for this in laboratory-leaked pandemics, such as the 1977 Russian flu, caused by a very similar strain of H1N1 flu to the one circulating between 1946 and 2005. 1957. There have been persistent rumors that there may be a Russian flu. was the result of an escaped vaccine trial.7
Omicron, also known as B.1.1.529., has a non-synonymous mutation rate of 25 to 1. According to molecular biologist and cancer geneticist Philip Buckhaults, Ph.D.,8 Omicron has 25 nonsynonymous mutations and only one synonymous spike mutation relative to its most recent common ancestor, AV.1. If it is a natural occurrence, that ratio should be between 25 and 50 and 25 to 100.
Three theories about the origin of Omicron
Researchers have tried to explain this phenomenon in different ways. Bedford has suggested that by mid-2020, the strain may have infected and evolved in some unknown animal populations before spilling back into the human population.
However, that’s an unlikely scenario, Bedford said, because then there needs to be signs of animal genetic material in the genome, and we don’t see that. Instead, there is human RNA insertion, indicating that the host is human.
Another theory is called “confusing contagion” in an unsupervised region. In other words, the mid-2020 strain may already be circulating in an area where testing and surveillance of cases is little or no, allowing it to grow under the radar, until it becomes detectable. spread to more monitored areas.
Alas, Bedford also felt guilty with this explanation, “Because it seems [this strain of the virus] is on its way to becoming Omicron and becoming a transmissible virus, [the earlier versions] would have started to be spread more widely than before just now. “9
The third hypothesis concerns incubation in an immunocompromised patient, such as an AIDS patient. If a patient’s immune system is just strong enough to prevent death, but not completely cleared, the virus can persist for months, slowly mutating over time.
The key point here is that the virus should have spread from that person sooner. Why did it take more than a year to finally transmit? Intermediate variants should have appeared, but didn’t. It just suddenly appeared with dozens of mutations already brewed in it’s unprecedented.
Bedford told NPR,ten “That’s a good question and a legitimate one. I don’t have a definite answer but by chance.” Despite the lack of definitive answers, Bedford believes this scenario may be the most plausible.
Two elephants in the room – The missing theory
Going back to Malone’s observations, of course, what’s missing from this list of hypotheses is the most obvious one, which is that the virus mutated in response to the pressures of large-scale COVID-19 injections. There is also a lack of hypothesis that Omicron was genetically manipulated from a mid-2020 strain, and somehow entered circulation.
Ironically, Bedford and others are now emphasizing the importance of ramping up HIV treatment to prevent mutations from occurring in untreated people with low immune function, rather than scrutinizing how mass “vaccination” campaigns are accelerating the growth of this virus and putting people with COVID at increased risk of serious infections.
Currently, one of the most plausible theories seems to be that the scientists activated an original SARS-CoV-2 variant to build up antibody resistance, possibly by passing them through cell lines. human cells or cloned in the presence of convalescent plasma.
Lab in South Africa tested for SARS-CoV-2
If Omicron is another innovation lab, which lab might be responsible for its creation? Several internet operators pointed the finger at a biosafety level 3 (BSL3) laboratory in Durban, South Africa, which is conducting research on SARS-CoV-2.
An article titled “Escape of SARS-CoV-2 50IY.V2 from neutralization with neutral plasma”11 was published in the journal Nature at the end of March 2021. This appears to be just one kind of study that could train viruses to avoid COVID antibodies.
The study, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was carried out by a team of researchers, mostly from South Africa, but also an American and some with research degrees in both South Africa and German, British or American research facilities. The listed affiliates include several research facilities in South Africa, as well as research institutes in Israel, UK, USA, Germany and Brazil.
In a series on December 3, 2021, Twitter posts,twelfth Yuri Deigin, a drug developer and biotech entrepreneur, points out that Omicron’s initial appearance was in Durban, where the BSL3 lab is located and where that research was conducted.
However, the Omicron lab leak theory is loosely held together, but if recent history is any indication, we are bound to start seeing more extensive discussions and reviews. on the evidence as we move on.
As noted in an October 10, 2021 editorial, the New York Post,13 laboratory leak theory, referring to the original SARS-CoV-2 virus, is “almost certainly proven” – and according to Dr David Martin, proven based on patent traces , dating from two decades ago.14 – but it took more than a year and a half to get to this point.
While the question of Omicron origin is likely to arise, our fears about this variant need not be. So far, all indications are that Omicron is one of the mildest variants – very contagious with a rapid spread, but very mild in terms of symptoms.
