This copied tweet is confusing. Afshine Emrani is not in Israel. He is in California. He is a cardiologist. He did make those statements, though.

Washington [US], December 29 (ANI): Terming Omicron variant as nothing more than a "seasonal cold virus", a US-based cardiologist has warned against "overreaction and over-reach" by government agencies, saying their actions are causing panic and providing misinformation.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Afshine Emrani, Medical Director at Los Angeles Heart Specialists, suggested that the countries should not test for Omicron, and instead, focus their resources on providing "psychological and financial assistance" to people.

Emrani, who has over 26 thousand followers on Twitter and have been posting updates on pandemic since the emergence of the virus, claimed that Omicron is "literally" the vaccine that vaccine companies could not make. He added that within "8-12 weeks the world will be vaccinated" due to the spread of the virus.

His remarks come as the world is witnessing a rapid spread of the Omicron variant, especially in Europe and the United States.

"There is little we can do to stop this virus from infecting 80 per cent of the population. Masks. Vaccine card mandates will make no difference. Sure, people who are vaccinated have a much lower chance of dying or getting hospitalized," he said in one of his tweets.

"The biggest threat in my opinion remains in over-reaction and over-reach by government agencies, causing panic, providing misinformation, leading to closures that hurt those most vulnerable among us," he opined.

He went on to claim that the United States will report two million positive cases a day for weeks, after which the "numbers will drop dramatically".

"Just like South Africa. And Europe. Having millions positive in America, but asking travelers to quarantine in another country before coming back is silly," he further said.

Making a case against the restrictions imposed in the wake of Omicron, Emrani said: "Our government's reaction will be more harmful than the virus itself."The World Health Organisation, in its weekly epidemiological update, said overall risk related to the new variant of concern Omicron remains "very high". However, UN health agency added that early data from the United Kingdom, South Africa and Denmark suggests there is a reduced risk of hospitalization for the Omicron compared to the Delta variant.

Woman self-isolates in plane toilet for five hours after Covid-positive test mid-flight

Let's see if I have this correct. The article states:

1) "...she was fully vaccinated with a booster shot."​
2) "... she received two negative PCR tests before boarding."​
3) "...her throat began to hurt halfway through the trip so she went to the bathroom to perform a rapid Covid test which confirmed she was infected."​
4) .....“There’s 150 people on the flight, and my biggest fear was giving it to them,” she said.​

I have two questions for the Michigan teacher (wink-wink):

1) What do you think NOW about being "....fully vaccinated with a booster shot" ?​
2) Why do you feel the single OTC quick test in the bathroom (positive) is more accurate than the TWO previous PCR tests (negative) ?​

So on Face the Nation, Margaret Brennan introduces this guy, and at the end of the intro she quickly adds that he also "...serves on the Board for Pfizer"

Excuse me, but What in the Fuck? Why have him on and PRETEND he isn't financially compromised in ANYTHING he says? Goddam media is absolutelely SHAMELESS.

Like I said before, we are in the Great End Of Personal Freedoms era. After the last 2 years, the countries dictators now understand that they can make the peasants do anything they command them to do. What we see in the posts are the non-participants in the dictators power play and they are standing firm on the freedoms they have always had. I predict we will see the same thing happen in the USA in 2022. Are we ready?

Effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against Omicron or Delta infection
Jan 01, 2022

Abstract
Background The incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, including among those who have received 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines, has increased substantially since Omicron was first identified in the province of Ontario, Canada. Methods Applying the test-negative design to linked provincial data, we estimated vaccine effectiveness against infection (irrespective of symptoms or severity) caused by Omicron or Delta between November 22 and December 19, 2021.

We included individuals who had received at least 2 COVID-19 vaccine doses (with at least 1 mRNA vaccine dose for the primary series) and used multivariable logistic regression to estimate the effectiveness of two or three doses by time since the latest dose. Results We included 3,442 Omicron-positive cases, 9,201 Delta-positive cases, and 471,545 test-negative controls. After 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccine, vaccine effectiveness against Delta infection declined steadily over time but recovered to 93% (95%CI, 92-94%) ≥7 days after receiving an mRNA vaccine for the third dose.

In contrast, receipt of 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines was not protective against Omicron.
Vaccine effectiveness against Omicron was 37% (95%CI, 19-50%) ≥7 days after receiving an mRNA vaccine for the third dose. Conclusions Two doses of COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to protect against infection by Omicron. A third dose provides some protection in the immediate term, but substantially less than against Delta. Our results may be confounded by behaviours that we were unable to account for in our analyses. Further research is needed to examine protection against severe outcomes.

I fully agree. I fully see that happening here this year. Especially if the Supreme Court does not shoot down sleepy joes osha edict.
Which I fully believe the Supreme Court will rule in favor of sleepy joe and the pharmaceutical companies.

I hope you’re wrong, but I fear you’re right. That would be pretty damn close to the straw that breaks the camel’s back. If the Supremes go along, it’s time to clean your rifle.

I would hope our rifles have already been cleaned and oiled. Better yet, check your supplies. It's probably a little late for getting some, now, but there may be a few stray boxes floating around, who knows? Aim well, pull once.

Put your tinfoil hat on here.

What if all this is part of the Bilderburg’s plan to thin the herd. I’ve head since the 90’s there is too many people in the world and not enough resources. Since we no longer have World Wars to help achieve this, this then falls on man to kill off the people and hide behind something to help save mankind.

Why haven’t members of our government just suddenly drop as we have seen on the net? Did they just get a saline injection but can’t say due to a NDA’s. Do as I say, not as I do.
