‘Leading Scientists’ Warn New COVID Variants Could Cause ‘Far Higher Number of Deaths’ – Opinion

In this episode of “The Neverending Story: COVID-Style”…

“Shockingly,” as fears of the rational among us continue to subside over the yuugely-overhyped Omicron variant — not that we were all that fearful in the first place — “leading UK scientists” are now warning that new COVID strains could be “much more dangerous and cause far higher numbers of deaths and cases of serious illness than Omicron.” Joe Biden was last seen furiously nodding in agreement.

Yep, as Prime Minister Boris Johnson prepares to lift the final COVID restrictions in England, next week, as reported by The Guardian, “leading UK scientists” are (no doubt frantically) once again ringing the never-ending COVID alarm bells about crap that hasn’t even happened. 

David Nabarro, a special envoy on COVID-19 for the World Health Organization — same WHO with which Donald Trump cut ties over COVID hysteria — piled it high and deep during an interview with The Guardian.

Omicron is not the only variant. If they become more common, they may dominate. Additionally, the variants may have different symptoms, which could lead to more severe or long-lasting effects.

Nabarro unsurprisingly urged authorities to continue to plan for the possibility that there will be surges in numbers of people who “fall victim to” future variants and need hospital care as a result.

People should be encouraged to take precautions to ensure their safety and that of others. It would be risky to not take this approach.

There are no upsides to this gamble. The pandemic has a long way to go and – as is the case since it started – people and their leaders will influence its long-term impact through actions they take now.

The COVID GnomeAnthony Fauci last saw nodding in agreement.

However, even the Guardian article included statements from scientists who don’t necessarily agree with the above Dr. Doom. One of the many skeptics was Professor Mark Woolhouse from Edinburgh University.

It was not the Delta variant that gave rise to Omicron. It came from a completely different part of the virus’s family tree. And since we don’t know where in the virus’s family tree a new variant is going to come from, we cannot know how pathogenic it might be. While it may be less likely to be pathogenic, it could also prove more dangerous.

It is that was a “fair and balanced” scientific opinion. These are the key words since we don’t knowAnd It is impossible to know. Compare and contrast Professor Woolhouse’s comments with those of Nabarro. And with the ever-present warnings from Anthony Fauci. And with the pablum of Joe “Winter of Severe Illness and Death” Biden.

Intelligent people don’t think they are stupid. The majority of intelligent, reasonably educated people in the world are now capable of reasoning after two years. More the ridiculous hype, unfounded scare tactics, and ever-changing stories from Fauci & Co. Not to mention the OCD obsession of Biden and his one-trick-pony, never-ending “get vaccinated” rhetoric.

It’s time to stop. Be honest. Present facts and don’t get out over your agenda-driven, COVID skis.

People who are intelligent and reasonable make rational decisions. I realize I’m mostly “spitting” into the fan, here, but enough is enough.

As an aside, I absolutely love to beat my own drums COVID Gnome Fauci, the “infectious and emerging diseases expert” actually suggested last week that the “full-blown” COVID pandemic is almost over in the U.S. Yeah. While Fauci’s epiphany was Monate Reality is the truth it marked (at least a temporary)  turning point for the COVID hood ornament of the Democrat Party.

Here’s Tony, as transcribed by The New York Post:

These decisions will be more localized than being centrally imposed or decided upon once we have gotten out of full-blown pandemic mode, as we’re sure to do. It will become easier for people to decide how they wish to manage the virus.

Not to nitpick or whatever, but you don’t suppose Tony’s revelation has anything to do with the number of times Biden’s draconian unconstitutional COVID edicts have been slapped down in the courts, do you? This is just a thought.

Following Fauci’s apparent COVID awakening, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky did a quick “clean-up in aisle F,” warning (gullible) Americans not to get ahead of themselves. The NY Post

Our hospitalizations are still high, our death rates are still high, so as we…are encouraged by the current trends, we are not there yet.

At this time we continue to recommend masking in areas of high and substantial transmission, that’s much of the country right now in public, indoor settings.

Where are we now? It all depends on whom we listen. Hasn’t it always?

According to data from Johns Hopkins University, Fauci’s remarks appear to be on-point. Every state reports declining or stabilizing numbers of COVID patients.

But man, “they” gave it their best, didn’t they? And when Omicron turned out to be zero — compared to the initial hype spread by the COVID “hype-spreaders” from day one, that is. The end was within sight. Even Anthony Fauci and others who tried their best to stay on the sidelines as long possible. ReallyYou look like an idiot.

One-trick pony Biden is still the most difficult to hit.
