Is Big Pharma Punishing South Africa?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Africa Re-Posted Dec 1, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

South Africa denied Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson from delivering additional vaccines. A day later, on November 25, the omicron variant was detected in the country. Before the new variant was detected, South Africa claimed it had vaccinated 35% of the population, but their stockpile was building due to vaccine hesitancy. However, the African Union had planned to buy 220 million doses from Johnson & Johnson through Aspen Pharmacare. South Africa had also promised to purchase large quantities from Pfizer. A representative from Pfizer said, “We remain adaptable to individual country’s vaccine requirements whilst continuing to meet our quarterly commitments as per the South Africa supply agreement.”

Travel bans were immediately placed on South Africa and surrounding countries with lower vaccination rates. The variant has since been detected in Belgium, Israel, Germany, Canada, Italy, Hong Kong, and elsewhere. However, none of those nations faced a travel ban. The South African government released a statement saying that they are being “punished”:

“This latest round of travel bans is akin to punishing South Africa for its advanced genomic sequencing and the ability to detect new variants quicker. Excellent science should be applauded and not punished. The global community needs collaboration and partnerships in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Even the World Health Organization has warned world leaders not to impose immediate travel restrictions. The South African government is urging nations to reconsider the travel ban, but the number of nations to implement a ban multiplied after omicron was announced. If the ban were solely due to health concerns, countries would also ban travel from other places where the variant is present. South Africa is potentially being punished for disobeying the larger agenda.

The Lack of Independent Thought


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Dec 1, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I find it really disturbing that people you thought were capable of independent thought turn out to be like a drone just maneuvering through life without a clue. Geraldo Rivera actually said: “If I’m in your room with my grandchildren who are not vaccinated because they are too young and you lie about vaccine status, and you sneeze on my grandchildren, that could be a crime. That is absolutely so selfish.”

Perhaps Geraldo has failed to comprehend the news that being vaccinated does not prevent you from getting COVID, nor does it prevent you from spreading COVID. The four people who were diplomats that took Omicron to Hong Kong were vaccinated. Using Geraldo’s logic, if you are vaccinated and give COVID to his grandchildren, that’s OK, but if you are not vaccinated then the same act is criminal? You can see how Hitler was able to get people to hate the Jews.

Let me make this very clear, my family had COVID and the grandchildren, under 10, may have had a runny nose at best when their parents were sick for about 10 days. Then in the other family group, one parent had COVID and was laid up for also about 10 days, while the other didn’t get it in the same house. The same with the children under 10. I too probably had COVID, although I tested negative five times, and two doctors said I mostly had it because the tests are not valid.

I have worked with many governments around the globe for 40 years. Once politics entered COVID, all truth vanished. No government will ever admit this was a mistake. If the vaccines sterilize people or cause heart problems, governments will NEVER admit any side-effect. Even Gates admitted that if they vaccinated the entire world, some 700,000 people would die. That is reality. No matter what the vaccine, there are people whose body rejects it.My neighbors took the vaccine because there was going to be some family party on a cruise ship. He was OK, but his wife, under 30, almost died. She was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. After about a week, she recovered. This is a fact of life. Not everyone is the same, and vaccines should NOT be mandatory as they put some people at risk. It is “selfish” to demand everyone gets vaccinated and put their own lives at risk for you. If you got vaccinated, then claiming the unvaccinated are risking your life means that the vaccines do not work.

So if you think the government really cares, you are a fool. Digital Passports have nothing to do with your health for a disease that has a 99% chance of survival. As has been revealed in Britain, everything about you is on that passport, from education to financial status. The COVID passports are the way to get people 100% on the grid and traceable. Oh, what fools most mortals seem to be. Biden has been forced to postpone the vaccine mandate for federal workers until January 1 because it is immoral to force vaccination for a flu-like disease that has a 99%+ chance of survival.

Moderna Cashes in On Omicron


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Dec 1, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Moderna, the company that produced its first vaccination under Operation Warp Speed, said it is close to producing a new vaccine for the omicron variant. The news comes just days after the omicron variant was first reported publicly and before the scientific community had a chance to study the variant that has over 32 strains. As a result, Moderna’s stock jumped 14% earlier in the week and has been one of the top performers on the S&P 500 to date.

No one understands the new variant, but there is allegedly a vaccination in production that could be available by early 2022. This should raise many questions. Analysts claim Moderna has the ability to create new mRNA vaccines to combat mutating variants and can begin clinical trials within 60-90 days. Rest assured, all of the vaccine companies are now seeking to cash in on omicron. If these companies do not understand the variant, how can they develop a safe and effective vaccination?

President Biden even said it would take the White House around two weeks to understand omicron. “If people are vaccinated and wear their mask, there’s no need for lockdown,” Biden warned. Biden is lying. There are proven cases of people contracting COVID and various variants despite being fully vaccinated. The US president will deliver a “detailed strategy outlining how we’re going to fight COVID this winter. Not with shutdowns or lockdowns, but with more widespread vaccinations, boosters, testing, and more.” The word “lockdown” puts the markets in a tailspin, and Biden’s handlers have been careful not to mention this keyword in his speeches. Yet, they have made it clear that taking the vaccination could potentially prevent another lockdown. Between the lines is a subtle threat — comply or face the consequences.

Widespread Manhunt Underway For Three Men, Possibly Aborigines, Who Escaped Australian Involuntary Quarantine Camp – Video


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 30, 2021 | Sundance | 201 Comments

The events here are priceless, and weird, and just, well, nuts.  Last week people were stunned to discover the Chief Premier of Australia’s Northern Territory, Michael Gunner, had triggered an operation using the military to round up Aboriginal tribes and place them into a COVID quarantine facility called Howard Springs.

Premier Gunner became furious at people who questioned his decision and said the native Australians wanted to be in the camp. {Go Deep}  Well, early this morning three men scaled the wall in the Howard Springs quarantine camp and escaped.  Police are right now conducting a widespread manhunt for the escapees, all of whom tested negative for the virus.

The Darwin police are using helicopters, roadblocks and are conducting vehicle searches in order to recapture the men who Michael Gunner said “wanted to be in” the detainment and quarantine facility.  Something ain’t adding up.  WATCH:

With this report in mind, it’s worth re-watching the previous angry outburst from Michael Gunner (below).

Federal Judge Expands Healthcare Worker Vaccine Mandate Injunction to Apply Nationally


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 30, 2021 | Sundance | 136 Comments

Another win against the federal vaccine mandate.  The latest injunction against the Biden administration’s healthcare worker vaccine mandate was written by Judge Terry A. Doughty of Louisiana [View Here]. This injunction expands the prior order to cover all healthcare workers nationally.

On Monday a federal court in Missouri delivered an injunction that covered ten states; however, this ruling is written to extend block the CMS healthcare rule on a national basis – against Joe Biden’s decision to require all health workers in hospitals and nursing homes to receive their first shot by Dec. 6 and to be fully vaccinated by Jan. 4.  [Ruling Here]

However, with these rulings piling up against the White House; and with more and more Americans ignoring the fear porn being attempted with Omicron; we can expect the executive branch to go even stronger in the direction of more punitive punishment using federal mandates. Watch for it…

Police in Kenosha Wisconsin have released the bodycam footage of the NBC producer who was stopped by police while stalking the Rittenhouse jury.   The video includes the police talking to NBC in New York, booking producer Irene Byon, about why they instructed the producer in Wisconsin to follow the jury on November 17, 2021.

The police officers became aware of the suspicious vehicle after observing the car blatantly run a red light to keep up with the jury transport. A traffic stop was conducted and the operator identified himself as an NBC producer. Ultimately, there was no arrest for jury tampering because police interrupted any opportunity to do so. WATCH:

Judge Shroeder stated during court an investigation into the media behavior was underway.  Following the incident the judge banned MSNBC from the courthouse building for the duration of the trial.

CNBC Pundit Calls Unvaxxed People “Psychotic”, Demands U.S. Military Hunt Them Down, Force Vaccine or Force Quarantine


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 30, 2021 | Sundance | 354 Comments

This is one of the people inside the inner circle of Nancy Pelosi, a good personal friend.

As you watch this short video segment ask yourself about the mental stability of a person who would advocate publicly for American citizens to be hunted down by the U.S. military, vaccinated against their will or forcibly quarantined.

This was actually broadcast to the CNBC audience.

In a twisted display of irony, financial pundit Jim Cramer calls unvaccinated people “psychotic“?

.

There is indeed some serious psychosis running around in the mind of Americans; but it’s not the unvaccinated people exhibiting the symptoms.

For whatever reason, perhaps purposefully valuable, the fear around the SARS-CoV-2 virus has brought to the surface just who the unstable people are who live in the U.S.  People of reasonable minds and sensible disposition do not run around advocating for the military to round up healthy Americans and quarantine them from society based on a fear of something that is highly treatable and generally not dangerous.

Additionally, the spread of COVID-19 has nothing whatsoever to do with the vaccine.  If the vaccine is actually a vaccine, then what do the vaccinated people worry about?

The Biden Economy – Black Friday Sales Drop 28 Percent from Pre-Pandemic Levels, Cyber Monday Sales Drop First Time in History


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 30, 2021 | Sundance | 91 Comments

Reports on the beginning of the Christmas holiday shopping season do not look good for retailers.  CNBC is reporting the Black Friday sales were down a significant 28.3% from pre-pandemic levels in 2019 [link].  The difference was not made up inside on-line sales as Cyber Monday had the first drop in sales in the history of tracking on-line sales [link].

The financial pundit spin, intended to protect the Biden administration, includes a talking point that U.S. consumers decided to make their holiday purchases early this year, therefore the holiday spending metric no longer applies.

As the narrative is built, people were concerned about shortages of products so they purchased them early in the year.  While part of that is likely true, early shopping is not that unusual and cannot account for such a massive drop in purchasing.

The same narrative was used to explain the drop in Cyber Monday sales: “Shoppers nationwide spent nearly $11 billion on digital sales on Cyber Monday, a tracking firm said — a decrease of 1.4% from last year and the first decline ever for a major shopping holiday.” […] “It spread out e-commerce spending across the months of October and November.”  There’s virtually no limit to how the financial media will avoid identifying the real motive for declining sales, inflation and the lack of disposable income.

Inflation continues to be a major issue for all middle-class workers, and there does not appear to be any end in sight for even more price increases.  As gas, energy and food prices jump so significantly the amount of disposable income available for other non critical purchases becomes limited.  This is a simple Main Street checkbook reality felt by most Americans and willfully avoided by the Wall Street pundits.

The question of spending and purchasing priority is best identified by asking consumers the question:  Can you afford to spend more this year, and will you?
