I hope those of you in the United States of America had a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner last week and around the world. I hope you had a beautiful week. We certainly enjoyed ourselves. And it was almost like everything was going to be okay. Just when you thought it was okay, we're all sitting down. Not too many masks, not too many paranoid family members. At least not in my family. We had another, you know, Lollapalooza-style Thanksgiving at my house.

I think we had almost 50 people in my house celebrating Thanksgiving. But it was almost like while we're sitting there eating and celebrating and talking, It was outside the windows, that movie shot. It was looking at us from the distance. Just when you thought it was safe to go home at night. It was Omicrom. When I was elected, I said I would always be honest with you. So today I want to take a few moments to talk about the new COVID variant,

Leomdecrone. The Omicron variant is causing worldwide worry. The U.S. is bracing for the new Omicron variant. That new COVID variant that the World Health Organization says poses a very high risk around the globe. This variant is a cause. for concern, not a cause for panic. President Biden ordering a travel ban for visitors coming from South Africa and seven other African countries, of course Canada and the EU, also the UK, all taking the same action. We need to slow down the seating of this variant. Mayor de Blasio today calling on

New Yorkers both vaccinated and unvaccinated to wear masks indoors. We are recommending highly that people wear masks indoors. You cannot go on the subway. And you cannot go to to a health care facility in the state of New York without wearing a mask. Travel restrictions for the vaccinated were being lifted, but some countries are reversing course, including Japan, tonight closing its borders to all foreign travelers. I'm both vaccinated and have the booster shot, but that doesn't mean I'll be protected. We don't yet exactly know how effective our vaccines will be against Omicron. So it's more vital than ever that people get their challenge.

and we get those boosters into arms as fast as possible. The CDC is strengthening its recommendation that all adults should get their booster shots. If you're eligible for a booster, my goodness, go in and get that booster. If you haven't gotten boosted, get your booster. Make sure you have your booster. Now is the time to get that booster. We're going to boost the booster campaign. I mean, I'm saying this absolutely clearly to go and get a booster shot.

I know you're tired of hear me say, hear me say this. Go get the booster shot today. Oh, M-G, Omicrom. Well, you know, we're going to look at this because I'm sure you were sitting there thinking, are you freaking kidding me? I mean, really, right at the moment where you're trying to push a booster shot that nobody wants and you cannot seem to get frontline doctors or nurses to get vaccinated, you're having to fire people, all of a sudden, you know what we need? What don't be really great right now would be a new virus? We're done with Delta.

the Delta doesn't seem to be getting the job done. You know, I don't know if Omicrom is real. I don't know if it should be called the Moron Khan. Whatever it is, let's get to the bottom of it. Let's see what they know and what they don't know, shall we? Because I think that that's where the news actually lies. This is a great article that brought up what we know about Amicrom. This is from the new scientist.

Amacron, how dangerous is the new variant first found in South Africa? It goes on to say, other mutations may help the virus bypass our immune systems, make it more transmissible and less susceptible to treatments, according to the HSA, as though we're ever going to allow you to take treatments. I love that word. What treatments? Hydroxylloroquine, Ivermectin, Budescine, be really great if we were using treatments. But anyway, not to get off the track.

But the body notes that this has not been proven. What? It has not been proven? What the mutations mean is currently theoretical. And based on experience of past mutations, not the one we're talking about, of SARS-CoV-2 rather than lab tests. Wendy Barclay at Imperial College London, the College of Exaggeration that brought us the Imperial model says, we don't really know if it will reduce the effectiveness of vaccines. Wow. There is more that we don't know than we do, Tullio de Oliveari at Stellenbos University of South Africa said

yesterday that the full significance of the variance mutations remain uncertain. Peacock adds, it's important to stress how much we don't know this new variant. Well, there you have. I mean, I guess that's worthy of shutting down the stock market in the United States of America, stopping flights in and out of countries around the world. I guess, but let's be honest. We have talked about the fact that there may be a deadly variant one day out there. We're pressuring it. I'm going to get into that.

So I don't want to, you know, undermine this. But of all the things that we're going to be panicked about, is Amacron it? Is this really the one we should be terrified of? I mean, when we look at this, I want you to remember that just when we're interviewing Dr. Gert Vanne Bosch just one week before Thanksgiving. We played a clip where Paul Offutt, one of the co-authors of the most important vaccine book in the world Plotkin on vaccines. He had this to say about the number of mutations that are out there. Take a look at this. I think that the viruses, there's probably been already about 12,000 mutations on this virus already. I mean, it's, and I think you

may get to the point if they're resisting all immunity, or meaning, meaning that you're, it's as if you never got a vaccine, you've never got naturally affected. I think that's probably a lethal mutation. Yeah. So in other words, you're kind of running the runway out on the virus's ability to change itself. Let's not lethal to the virus. That's right. Let's right. Let's the virus, right. 12,000 variants. Can we bring up a graph? This is a graph of what some of these variants when they try and track and this is what it looks like. Look at all the different variants. This graph right here is tracking and how it's spreading and where it's going. But 12,000 mutations, this Omnacron must be something special to rise up amongst the 12,000 to be the terrified one, but there certainly

is a lot of uncertainty about what we know and what we don't know. But that doesn't mean that the WHO didn't want to jump on board because they, in their headline, put it in this category. Let's look at their headline. Classification of Omicron B-1-529 SARS-CoV-2 is a variant of concern. Now, that sounds concerning, and we were wondering, well, how does the WHO determine what a variant of concern is. The truth is it's not actually the first, you know, line of concern. There's actually a variant of interest. But you know what? When we looked at it, they never even called this a variant of interest. I mean, we're supposed to think they're tracking this stuff, right? Obviously, the 12,000 variants. You're looking at the bad ones. Here's a definition of what a variant of

interest would have been, the working definition, a SARS-CoV-2 variant with genetic changes that are predicted or known to affect virus characteristics such as transmissibility, disease severity, immune escape, diagnostic or therapeutic escape, and identified to cause significant community transmission or multiple COVID-19 clusters in multiple countries with increasing relative prevalence alongside increasing number of cases over time or other apparent epidemiological impacts to suggest an emerging risk to global public health. Remember, that's a variant of interest. And we just read articles where they said they don't know if any of this is true. They have no idea how effective it is. They don't know how if it transmits much. They don't know if it's.

going to escape the vaccine, yet it seemed like to be called a variant of interest. It needed to do like most of those things, but they went right to variant of concern. So let's leave what a variant of concern should be. A variant of concern by the WHO, here's their working definition. A SARS-CoV-2 variant that meets the definition of a variant of interest here below, and through a comparative assessment has been demonstrated to be associated with one or more of the following changes at a degree of global public health. So it started out as a variant of interest if we had done this right, this one did not, but then we have these added benefits of it increases in transmissibility or detrimental change in COVID-19 epidemiology or an increase in the virulence or change in clinical disease

presentation or decrease in effectiveness of public health and social measures or available diagnostic vaccines and therapeutics. So it's going to escape all of those things. Obviously this is what we think it is. It's now a variant of concern. Somehow the WHO said throw the rest of it away. We weren't tracking it, but we should have been because this is the big green monster. And you're really going to get the sense of that when you hear from this doctor in South Africa where this is happening, describing this incredible new variant. Take a look at this. The majority of what we are presenting to primary healthcare practitioners are extremely mild cases, so as mild to moderate. And so these patients means they don't need to be hospitalized for

now. And we try to get the message out there to the world to say, listen, we're not say this is not going to be a disease going forward that's going to cause severe disease. It will cause severe disease. But if we can get this disease, if this disease can cause to more than the majority of people, mild symptoms, easily treatedable at home, no need for admission. Just to reiterate one point here, so people hear it clearly. Now, this could change. I understand it's the early stages. But right now, the patients you're seeing with this new vision, variant, you're dealing with very mild to moderate symptoms. You are seeing no or very little severe disease, correct? Yes. Wow, holy cow, stop the presses. We have a variant that

appears to be mild for everybody that's gotten it. It's so mild that we think you can treat it at home. It's almost as if the scientist was saying, boy, I wish Omicron would replace Delta because this thing doesn't do anything to anybody. But let's go ahead, let's shut down our airports. Let's panic. Let's shut down our economy and definitely get out there and get your booster shot immediately because you just don't know. I mean, we don't know if the booster shot will do anything, but how could it possibly hurt to get another one? If you've had three, go for four. If you've had four, go for five. Six might be the charm, but we'll figure out for those when you first get there. Anyway, this is where Amacrom is at.

We have barely any understanding of it. What we do know from the people where it apparently originated in South Africa, that is so mild you can treat it at home. All right, but why South Africa, right? I mean, is that with the 12,000 variants, my understanding is variance should kind of be everywhere, right? Isn't that sort of the way nature works is sort of mutating and it's all over the planet? But we've singled out South Africa. Well, we decided to look at, look at this.

We looked at the top infection rates in the world right now. These are the top 16. And if you imagine those are at the 100% level. All together, they make 100% of the most infected in the world. So that's that orange line going up. Don't really need to pay attention to that. We need to pay attention to is who really? is having a major outbreak of concern.

I think Poland looks pretty bad. Germany, the UK and France are doing terribly. Ukraine behind their Turkey, Russia, Italy, it's coming down. USA, you know, we're not doing too bad right now, but there's South Africa. I mean, look how far down the list. Why in the hell did we go out of our way to isolate that is where our area of concern is? Oh my God, South Africa's under attack. Really?

How about what is the variant in Poland right now? That's what I want to know. I think whatever's going on in South Africa looks just fine to me. But maybe the reason we're isolating South Africa is because some of the headlines have been coming out of Africa in South Africa. Like maybe this headline. South Africa, this is right, but this is before Omicron. Remember, South Africa asked J&J Pfizer to stop sending vaccines. We don't need them.

Frankly, we don't think they're doing much and we think we've got this all under control. Or this headline, scientists are mystified and wary as Africa avoids the COVID disaster. They're the least vaccinated this article went on to say, yet for some reason they're doing better than everyone else in the world. Well, we can't have that, can we? We can't have those that aren't vaccinated looking like they're doing better than everybody else. What would be great is if the next deadly variant happened in the unvaccinated world. Well, I don't know. I don't want to put words in anybody's mouth. I'm just saying it's a little bit suspicious when you have a virus that appears to do absolutely nothing to anybody, at least so far, and it's happening in a country where they're

doing just great and a nation is doing just great. And a continent that's really doing best. better than the rest of the first world. But here's the thing. It's not even true. This thing doesn't even come from South Africa. As the headlines now tell us, Ammocrine was in Europe long before travel bans on South Africa. What? What?

So this thing doesn't even originate in this place and this tiny little place that's having a little bit of affection? No, it's already, as we would well know, it's already out there and moving around. Now, when I first started seeing these headlines, of course, I thought of Geert Vanne Bosch, who we're going to continue to talk to. We're going to continue to reference him. And we did reach out with Omicron because what has he been talking about? I hope you have all watched our interview with Geert Bend & Bosch, perhaps the most important interview I've ever done in my life.

If you haven't, go back to a week before Thanksgiving. There it is the November 18th, 242 episode. You must understand what this guy is saying, or you do not understand what's happening in the world with this virus. Just like the WHO doesn't understand it. The CDC, the FDA, the NHS. could go on and on. But you, the viewers of the high wire, you understand it, but let's go over it really quickly. Gear Band and Bosch is worried that we're going to continue to pressure this virus

to create more and more variants that are eventually going to escape the vaccine, be unstoppable, and then we're going to have a bathogen that could wipe out a gigantic part of our species and our population. So we asked him, is Omnachron it? Is this the one? Is this what we're worried about? Well, he wrote an article in response. This was his article. Continued mass vaccination will only only pushed the evolutionary capacity of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein beyond the Omicron version. Now, he starts out by talking about how ridiculous is we've selected this one amongst all that are out there, but he goes on to say mass vaccination promotes viral resistance to C-19 vaccines. Viral resistance drives enhanced infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2, e.g. Omicron.

And may ultimately enable SARS-CoV-2 to utilize alternative cell surface determinants to enter permissive cells. He goes on to say scientific naivete combined with arrogant megalomania has led the mighty alliance of, what do we call this? What is PHO? Remember what that says. Public health key opinion leaders. Okay. Public health key opinion leaders and industry to dramatically underestimate the evolutionary capacity of SARS-CoB2 when it is put under widespread immune pressure. There can be no doubt that Omicron is only one such example of this and that other variants harboring a similar panoply of S-directed mutations will soon emerge in other countries. There is indeed no reason to believe that identical conditions of

suboptimal population level immune pressure on SARS-CoV-2 infectiousness combined with widespread infectious pressure would lead to different results. Alternatively, countries which, thanks to mass vaccination, have prepared their populations to serve as an excellent breeding ground for more infectious variants will exhibit a high level of hospitality to Omicron and its peers. It is undeniable that mass vaccination will only drive the virus to fully exploit its evolutionary capacity, including, if needed, its ability to use alternate receptor domains on permissive cells. The fitness costs that may come with such a dramatic mutation is likely to be rewarded with enhanced pathogenicity. I am truly afraid that these dynamics will eventually allow for the

natural selection of individuals with uncompromised innate immunity while eliminating those without it. While such natural selection would lead to an eradication of SARS-CoV-2 as innate immunity sterilizes the virus, those that aren't vaccinated, remember, are the ones that have the innate immunity and blocks transmission. The consequence would be unimaginable. The price paid for ending the pandemic by virus eradication is not comparable to the one paid for by generating herd immunity and allowing the virus to enter an endemic state. who are enforcing mass vaccination are opting for the former instead of the latter, an act that will be remembered as the deadliest sin ever.

Well, what this article is really saying is that we don't know, Amacrom looks like a nothing burger right now, and frankly, in many ways, so did Delta, and Alpha being the biggest nothing burger of all of them. They are getting more transmissible. This is mutating. It's moving in the wrong direction, like we've never seen, because as Geert Van der Bosch has said,

We've never pressured a virus by vaccinating the entire world for it. But mark my words, whether it's Amacrom or some other variant, it appears that Geert Van Bosch is no longer alone, not just by those like Dr. Robert Malone that is now in meetings around the world and supporting what Geert Van der Boch has to say amongst other things, Robert Malone being the inventor of MRNA vaccine technology himself, but the fact that even the detractors seem to be jumping on board with the idea that we could be pressuring the virus to become vaccine resistant. Except, of course, if you don't want to agree with Geert, but you agree with what he's saying, you need a different bad guy. I want to tweet. All right,

here's the point. They're talking about who is actually spreading this. Is it the vaccinated? Is it the unvaccinated? They want to say it's the unvaccinated, but here's the truth. The four cases were detected among travelers who tested SARS-CoV-2 positive on routine pre-travel testing. The preliminary report revealed that all the four had been fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Here's my point. They're trying to tell you you need a booster shot, that it's the unvaccinated that are causing this. But Gerben & Bosch is telling us, it's not the unvaccinated. They have a brilliant innate immune system that's going to eradicate this.

It's the vaccinated they're doing it. And the big fear, we better shut down the airports before it gets to America. Oops! It's already here. Now we have CDC confirms first U.S. case of Amacrom-COVID variant has been detected in California. Who brought it here? What do they do? Certainly they were unvaccinated. White House Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Anthony Bouchy said the patient who was fully vaccinated had just returned to the San Francisco area on November 22nd after traveling in South Africa and testing positive on November 29th.

You see, there it is. Only the vaccinated are traveling, apparently, in and out of countries because they're supposed to be safe, yet they're the ones that are carrying this thing in every situation we know of. the four cases in Africa and now the one case in California. So who knows? We'll keep our eyes on this. Right now, Omnacrom looks like it is not much of anything, except that is carried by the vaccinated, and it appears to be caused by the vaccinated.
