Omicron as the latest strain - media review

1) Omicron may be the final strain and signal for the end of the
pandemic. Virologist, academician of the Russian Academy of
Sciences Felix Ershov told the Izvestia newspaper about this
(https://bit.ly/3qgbDVK). “Perhaps Omicron is the last strain
and signal for the end of the pandemic. It is extremely contagious,
but not deadly. an opportunity to end the pandemic, "the expert
admitted.
2) Following President Joe Biden's dramatic speech pleading with
unvaccinated Americans to go and get injections, Bill Gates,
Microsoft billionaire and self-proclaimed unofficial king of global
vaccinations, suddenly posted several tweets in which he changed
his predictions about how long the pandemic might last
(https://bit.ly/3stMx8r).
A) "Just when it seemed like life would return to normal, we could
be entering the worst part of the pandemic. Omicron will hit home
for all of us. Close friends of mine now have it, and I’ve canceled
most of my holiday plans."
B) Omicron is spreading faster than any virus in history. It will
soon be in every country in the world.
3) As Readovka learned (https://bit.ly/3Ex6MVq), in Moscow,
polyclinics are massively ringing up parents, inviting their
children to be vaccinated, while in fact there are tests of the new
Sputnik V vaccine. One of the participants in such an experiment
told Readovka, on condition of anonymity, that she was alarmed
at first by the fact that she was repeatedly and persistently called
and invited her 15-year-old son to be vaccinated at Children's
Clinic No129 in Chertanovo, although they live in a different
area. On the spot, it turned out that in the consent sheet, the
organizer of the study indicated the Center of Gamalei.
4) The new omicron coronavirus strain is rapidly replacing the
delta variant in many countries of the world - its transmission
rate is 3 times higher than that of the delta. Scientists admit that
the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines against it is low. Now Nature
(https://go.nature.com/3prhJ6C) has published data that almost
all monoclonal antibodies used to treat COVID-19 do not work
on the omicron. It follows from this that there is an urgent need
to change the existing treatment strategies for COVID-19.
5) On the eve of the holidays, the flow of passengers at American
airports has sharply increased, which sometimes leads to conflicts,
for the resolution of which the police have to be involved, reports
NBC (https://bit.ly/33L0TqG). In addition, due to the difficult
situation with the omicron, many people feel a certain nervousness.
US authorities, meanwhile, insist that the best way for passengers
to protect themselves in congested airports is to maintain social
distance and wear a mask.
6) WHO has changed a lot and is pursuing goals that are far from
health. This was told at the scientific-practical conference "Doctors
for the Truth" Academician, Scientific Director of the Institute of
Vaccines and Serums. Mechnikov Vitaly Zverev
(https://bit.ly/3EkdIVC). He began by first participating in WHO
expert meetings in 1987. And then the WHO listened to the opinions
of scientists from different countries, and decisions were made
collectively. But now everything is different. For example, the WHO
changed the definition of herd immunity, stating that it is achieved
only by vaccination.
7) In his new book on vaccines, Robert Kennedy directly accuses
Anthony Fauci of the decisions he made since the beginning of
the so-called "COVID-19 pandemic" were not just wrong, they
were "criminal." Robert Kennedy draws attention to the fact that
with the arrival of Fauci as a "shadow cardinal" the activities of
such state institutions as NIAID, NIH, FDA, CDC have undergone
strong commercialization. So, back in 2019, before the start of the
"COVID-19 pandemic", the CDC budget was $ 12 billion, of which
$ 4.9 billion was spent on the purchase and distribution of various
vaccines. A clear bias in favor of vaccination.
