    That’s not entirely fair. Experts are only experts on the past, no expertise about the future. The jabs were only designed for the first-pressing, signed-by-BatLady, limited edition WuFlu. Omicron only appeared months later, and the strain has substantial differences which have turned out basically in our favour – even for the non-vaccinated.

    Mummy of famous Egyptian pharaoh digitally unwrapped for first time in 3,000 years

    The mummy of ancient Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep I was so exquisitely wrapped — decorated with flower garlands and buried with a lifelike face mask — scientists have been hesitant to open up the remains. That is, until now.

    Some 3,000 years after Amenhotep’s burial, a team of researchers used CT scans to digitally unwrap his body for the first time, virtually peering through the many layers to reveal what he would’ve looked like when alive (he took after his dad it seems).

    The CDC just came out today and said that the PCR tests are unreliable because they detect COVID even up to twelve weeks after an infection.

    I told you this over a year ago.

    Dr. David Samadi (Dec 20, 2020)

    PCR tests are unreliable due to the amplification threshold. Anything over 17 cycles is worthless. In the USA, we use 35 cycles. The WHO recommends 40 to 45 cycles. Totally worthless. At that many amplifications you are just picking up the presence of any virus. Useless.

    Brad Hazzard urges increased take up of COVID vaccine, says majority of ICU patients are unvaccinated

    A vast majority of COVID cases in ICU are unvaccinated prompting New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard to urge greater uptake of the jab amid a major increase in daily infections.

    As cases and hospitalisations continue to grow, the Health Minister reiterated the need for the greater protection provided by vaccines.
    “Today we have 69 people in our intensive care, in our hospitals across the state, 39 of those are not vaccinated,” Mr Hazzard said on Friday.

    Over 95% of Omicron Cases are in Vaccinated People.

    Four thousand and twenty people who reported contracting Omicron in the study – which equates to 95.6 percent of total cases – had received at least two doses of COVID-19 vaccines. Twenty-eight percent of the Omicron-positive group had also received a third dose or “booster” shot.

    Just 186 people contracting Omicron were unvaccinated in the entire sample, showing that vaccinated individuals were over 21 times as likely to contract the COVID-19 variant.

    One of Australia’s best jockeys

    Racenet

    William Pike was forced to forgo his ride in the Perth Cup on New Year’s Day due to Covid protocols and Western Australia’s leading rider has admitted the requirement to be double vaccinated could result in his premature retirement.

    Pike has spoken publicly for the first time on his vaccination status in an interview with Freedom Media WA.

    In the lengthy interview, Pike said there was uncertainty going forward given participants will be required to be double vaccinated come February 5, with those protocols having been enforced for the Perth Cup card at Ascot on New Year’s Day

    “My future is very uncertain right now. I really don’t know what my future’s going to be like,” Pike said.

    “I would love to keep riding. I would love to stay on top for as long as I can until one of the young guns come along and boot me off my perch.

    “I really don’t want to leave it, but under the circumstances right now with the rules and different things in place, it’s getting harder and harder to go out and do my daily job.”

    Pike has stayed quiet over the past month about his vaccination status as rumours circled.

    He said he was disappointed that media had already run stories on his situation.

    “The mainstream media has a way of twisting words and leading up to this, I didn’t want to comment, I wanted to make sure I had my story straight and they (the media) went and posted things anyway and I thought that was a bit out of line.

    “I wanted my story and my reasons told factually.

    “I didn’t want to get a headline out there that makes some guy in an office get a smug smile on his face.”

    Pike also expanded on why he was yet to be vaccinated.

    “I suppose at one point they were touting a digital passport just so you can get into restaurants and whatnot. It‘s how the future’s going to be they say. Well I don’t see how that can be acceptable. You want to go to a restaurant and have a nice meal, why should you have to worry about giving out all your details?”

    “For me as an athlete as well, health implications definitely have a play in it. The vaccines came around really quickly, how did it get here so quick? I just had questions and it doesn’t feel like we’ve had the time to digest it and take it all on board in an intelligent way.”

    Dimitri Ndina: Healthy 57-Year-Old Doctor Falls ill With Blood Clots Shortly After Receiving Pfizer Vaccine, Dies Of “COVID-19”

    NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – Dimitri Ndina, a local doctor with no prior conditions, has died as a result of blood clots shortly after receiving his first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

    However, local media is now reporting that he died as a result of the virus…

    Alexis Ndina, his 19-year-old daughter, said:

    “[He became sick] sometime after his first vaccine and he somewhat brushed it off, usually when he gets sick he gets better the next day and then he was hospitalized on December 7th.”

    The 57-year-old was admitted to the hospital’s ICU unit where he later died on December 20th. Ndina had blood clots spreading throughout his body as Alexis explained:

    “They noted that he started to clot in his lower region so from his legs and started to work up.”…

    The Sun (UK authoritarian tabloid) has a story showing footballers being read the riot act by their clubs for not controlling what their WAGS post on social media.

    I thought women had their own thoughts and opinions.

    ‘EVERTON “read the riot act” to goalie Jordan Pickford over his wife’s apparent anti-vax messages on social media.

    The England keeper is among football stars who have been blasted after loved ones shared conspiracy content around critical jabs.

    Fed-up Everton bosses have ordered their players to ensure their relatives “toe the line” on Covid.

    Last month Jordan’s wife Megan Davison, 25, shared a photo from a Freedom Rally in London where police faced violence.

    It showed a protester with a placard reading: “Even if you’re not conspiracy minded, something in your soul has to say . . . something is wrong.”

    This week Megan, who has a children’s studies degree, posted a second message showing a voodoo doll with dozens of pins in it with the words “just one more booster to freedom”.

    After a dressing down at the club, Jordan, 27, contacted Megan, and her message was removed.’

    Vax mandate outcome update:

    ‘Staff shortages are hitting Australia’s health system as Covid-19 cases spike with a leaked email claiming one Sydney hospital is “extremely vulnerable”.

    Australian Medical Association vice-president Chris Moy said he was getting calls from doctors and administrators who were “extremely worried” about rising Covid cases despite fewer people being hospitalised.

    He said staff were being furloughed because they are getting sick or are being deemed close contacts.

    “What’s happening there is that the staffing situation is becoming pretty critical at the moment,” Dr Moy told ABC on Sunday morning.

    This was “right across the board” but NSW was probably worse than other parts of the country, he said.

    “I’m hearing about teams getting completely wiped out essentially because they are either contacts or they are positive,” he said.’

    ‘PAPERS, PLEASE’: Holocaust Museum Makes Visitors Present Vaccine Passport To Enter

    The Illinois Holocaust Museum recently announced that visitors over the age of five must present their COVID-19 vaccine passport to enter the building, prompting mockery from health freedom advocates.

    According to a statement from the Illinois Holocaust Museum, visitors over the age of five must present “proof of full COVID-19 vaccination to enter the building as of January 5, 2022.”

    After the statement went viral, the Illinois Holocaust Museum apparently changed the tweet’s settings to limit replies.

    The existing replies are overwhelmingly negative, and users have since taken to quote tweets to express their displeasure with the museum’s decision.

    “Wait, I’m confused,” wrote one user. “Do people with yellow stars get in or are they the ones denied entry? Can you please explain how we know who is unclean and how you plan on discriminating against them again just so we’re clear?”

    “What a slapin the face to the people who suffered the greatest tragedy from being ‘othered,’” another added. “Discrimination based on medical status is WRONG and you have tarnished all the good you have done with this mandate.”
