Novavax Developing Vaccine Against Variant That Appeared 72 Hours Ago – Will Be Ready in Two Weeks, Already in Emergency Use Trials in Indonesia and Philippines

Wow, 72 hours ago no one even heard the name Omicron variant.  Now, in less than three days, a variant has been identified, global travel has been halted, states of emergency have been declared, and now we see a pharmaceutical company announcing the variant specific vaccine trial that will begin in the U.S. in a few weeks.  This government relationship with Big Pharma is certainly generating some fast action, eh?

If a person was cynically inclined; while knowing governments’ need to control inflation yet cannot raise interest rates or stop purchasing debt because current legislative spending continues – a remarkable control option would be to halt demand; and a person might think this was suspicious, or something.

Nov 26 (Reuters) – Novavax Inc said on Friday it had started working on a version of its COVID-19 vaccine to target the variant detected in South Africa and would have the shot ready for testing and manufacturing in the next few weeks.

The company’s COVID-19 shot contains an actual version of the virus’ spike protein that cannot cause disease but can trigger the immune system. The vaccine developer said it had started developing a spike protein specifically based on the known genetic sequence of the variant, B.1.1.529.

Novavax’s vaccine received its first emergency use approval earlier this month in Indonesia followed by the Philippines. Other vaccine developers, including Germany’s BioNTech SE and Johnson & Johnson, have said they are testing the effectiveness of their shots against the new variant, which is named Omicron by the World Health Organization (read more)

New York Governor Kathy Hochul Issues State of Emergency Due to Latest COVID Variant, Omicron

All the totalitarians will quickly follow suit.   New York Governor Kathy Hochul declares a state of emergency, granting herself additional power and authority as the threat of Omicron is utilized.  They are moving fast on this one; no time to waste. How long before new lockdowns?  Keep watching…

New York – New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a state of emergency order on Friday in response to the identification of the COVID-19 omicron variant.

The emergency order is intended to increase hospital capacity in New York and will last until at least Jan. 15, when it will be reassessed.

According to a copy of the order, the state will utilize the “surge and flex system,” which allows the Department of Health to limit non-essential and non-urgent hospital procedures in situations where a hospital has less than 10% staffed bed capacity. (read more)

Racism, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Block People of Color Traveling From Africa on Black Friday


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 26, 2021 | Sundance | 65 Comments

According to sources familiar with the matter, who wish to remain anonymous as they are not authorized to relay information from two other anonymous officials with knowledge of a person once seen next door to an official who directly overheard a conversation relayed by several officials at the heart of the issue, there might be a coded message here.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are banning African travelers on Black Friday 2021:

A congressional investigation surrounding this blatant air travel discrimination is warranted.  How is it fair a person of color who walks across the U.S. border can be protected by COVID immigration policy, yet an African person of color flying into the country is given no due process?  Racism, gottabe.  Impeach!

In order for leftists to continue advancing their insane communist ideology they must pretend not to know things:

U.S. Announces New Travel Restrictions as Scientists Give New COVID Variant The Name Omicron – A Strategic New Variant Introduced to Help Offset Global Inflation


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 26, 2021 | Sundance | 426 Comments

We originally outlined the new COVID-19 variant along with the international motives of the science community for delivering it HERE.  Previously the new worrisome, 10 spike, vaccine resistant variant was called “The B.1.1.529 variant“.  However, those types of names do not work well for larger fear narrative distribution.  As a result, the international scientific community has given it the name “Omicron“.  Perhaps the “Merry Christmas” variant would be culturally insensitive.

Globally, and not coincidentally –politically– the greatest challenge to those in power is a massive rise in direct inflation.  What is the quickest way to eliminate the political risks due to inflation?  Shut down demand….. lock down the economies… turn the values closed on economic activity, and then watch oil prices plummet.

As the science is told, Omicron originated in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique and Malawi.  Government officials around the world have responded to the Omicron variant by banning travel from those countries.  The U.K and Australia kicked off the latest round of fear porn with their travel bans.  Subsequently, fellow EU nations Austria, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Malta all announced imminent entry bans to all travelers who’ve entered South Africa and surrounding nations in the past two weeks.

In North America, Canada will be “banning the entry of foreign nationals…that have traveled through southern Africa in the last 14 days,” due to the new coronavirus variant Omicron, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said at a news conference Friday. (link)  And right on cue the Biden administration joins the effort:

WHITE HOUSE – “This morning I was briefed by my chief medical advisor, Dr. Tony Fauci, and the members of our COVID response team, about the Omicron variant, which is spreading through Southern Africa. As a precautionary measure until we have more information, I am ordering additional air travel restrictions from South Africa and seven other countries. These new restrictions will take effect on November 29. As we move forward, we will continue to be guided by what the science and my medical team advises.” (more)

As if on cue, this happens:

The discovery of a new Covid-19 variant sent oil plummeting 13% on Friday, as investors feared a wave of new government restrictions and slower economic growth. 

US crude finished the day at a two-month low of $68.15 a barrel, down 13.1% from Wednesday’s close. It was the worst day for oil since April 27, 2020, when Covid was spreading rapidly in the US. (link)

Under this type of economic manipulation using science, the U.S. federal government -and the multinational governments as a whole- recapture control of inflation.

As you know, the monetary policy to maintain an economic system beneficial to Wall Street and the multinational investment class means they need to keep interest rates low even as they print more money vis-a-vis the Build Back Better spending operation.  {Go Deep} The primary way to control inflation is for central banks (U.S. Fed) to stop purchasing their own debt and/or raise interest rates.  However, that approach would be against the interests of the multinational elites and international finance system (World Economic Forum agenda).

If you are a member of the political elite and worried about the electoral backlash from massively rising prices hitting your citizenry….. Another way to stop inflation is to shut down economic demand.

How do you shut down global economic demand….  Omicron !!

See how that works?

As a result, we enter the 2022 mid-term election under a scenario where a new variant of COVID, Omicron, is now the reason for government rules (Vaxx, Vaxx, Vaxx), a slowed economy and a contraction of demand.   Omicron becomes a justification and excuse for lowered economic expectations.

Simultaneously, inflation is artificially paused by using Omicron as a pressure valve, and the central bankers don’t have to worry about negative consequences to the multinational corporations who give them instructions.

Under this strategy, the electorate can be duped into reinstalling political ideologues, elites and communists.   And guess what?  The U.S. Energy Secretary doesn’t need to know what the price of a barrel of oil costs.

Don’t blame me, we just see this COVID variant stuff for what it is…. useful.

This ain’t their first rodeo.

It’s not clear yet whether the mutations make this variant more infectious or whether it causes more severe illness, but researchers say the high number of mutations to the “spike proteins” — the focus of a body’s immune response — may make it more able to get past the body’s defenses. (link)

VICE: How Big Pharma Gets Dangerous Drugs Approved


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Nov 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

(Click here to view the video on VICE’s website)

A VICE News special shows how the pharmaceutical companies lobby the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve dangerous drugs. This is not a new revelation, but most blindly trust the FDA stamp of approval. Big Pharma currently spends over $4.5 billion on lobbying efforts to approve their drugs. For example, in 1995 Purdue produced the notoriously addictive drug Oxycontin. Reports stated that less than 1% of those who took the drug would become addicted. Since then, over 500,000 million Americans have died from the narcotic. Purdue has since faced numerous lawsuits and intense scrutiny; however, the FDA has escaped any blame.

More recently, the FDA approved the Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm by Biogen after clinical studies showed that the drug did not work. The drug, which costs $56,000 annually, was originally denied by regulators. Then the lobbyist entered and essentially paid the FDA to pass the drug. Let’s not forget, once a drug is FDA approved, the pharmaceutical company is permitted to advertise. Hence, why Pfizer began to produce commercial, radio, and print advertisements within the same week of receiving FDA approval this year.

The greed of the FDA knows no bounds. FDA Dr. Kelsey singlehandedly saved millions of Americans in the 50s and 60s from a dangerous drug called Thalidomide. The drug was originally prescribed to pregnant women to reduce morning sickness. Thousands of children across the world were born with serious birth defects due to Thalidomide. The lifelong debilitating outcome of the drug prompted harsher drug testing worldwide, in theory. Unsurprisingly, Thalidomide is still available with a prescription. A regulator’s approval has never meant that a drug was safe for use. The FDA is bought and paid for by Big Pharma, and truth be told, they do not know the long-term side effects of the new medications they are approving.

New Bill Would Deny Insurance Coverage to the Unvaccinated


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Nov 26, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Member of the New York State Assembly Pat Burke (Democrat, of course), believes that unvaccinated Americans refusing the experimental COVID-19 vaccine should be denied healthcare. This is the same man who once claimed healthcare was a human right. “Freedom isn’t free,” he had the audacity to tweet. I was under the impression that my tax dollars paid for Operation Warp Speed, vaccinations, and government handouts. The Constitution was formed on the grounds that America would be the land of the free. Pompous lawmakers now want to remove all of our freedoms and are no longer sugar-coating their agenda.

After facing backlash on Twitter, Burke said, “Let me know when smoking and obesity become highly contagious diseases that disrupt every facet of life, overwhelm hospitals, and cost the government trillions of dollars.” Well, those conditions do overwhelm hospitals. In fact, obesity is the number one comorbidity for COVID-19.

Here is a video of Burke explaining why Americans who don’t play by the rules should die. When questioned about the social media backlash, Burke claimed most of his critics were posting from fake accounts. In the same breath, Burke claims he supports universal healthcare. “Do your part,” he repeatedly states. What exactly does that entail? Vaccinated individuals can still pass along the virus. The vaccine has proven adverse side effects, and the long-term consequences are unknown. Newsflash: taking the vaccine does not mean you are saving the world. Lawmakers see the pushback from skeptical citizens, and in response, expect the penalties to become harsher. Hold the line.

COVID Swab Test DNA Samples for Sale


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Nov 25, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Cignpost Diagnostics, a UK-based COVID testing company, has likely sold swab samples containing customers’ DNA. The company claimed it had the right to sell data to third parties in an effort to “learn more about human health.” However, the consent form is buried among the lengthy testing information sheet, and the company primarily sells tests on the go to travelers looking for rapid results. Cignpost Diagnostics admitted in the fine print that they “may receive compensation” for selling customers’ DNA to “collaborators.”

UK law explicitly demands the protection of private data, and angry customers are claiming the company did not clearly notify users that their sensitive DNA would be sold for a profit to conduct unknown research. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the Human Tissue Authority are now investigating. “There is no personal data more sensitive than our DNA. People should be told about what’s happening to it in a clear, open, and honest way so they can make informed decisions about whether they want to give it up,” ICO deputy commissioner Steve Wood said.

Cignpost Diagnostics knows they are in the wrong and has begun to backtrack on their policy. A spokesperson for the company recently claimed all swab samples are destroyed after the client has been notified of their results. Why would the company then claim to have “collaborators” and a plan to profit off of the DNA they have compiled? Three million tests have already been distributed. It is unclear if the company actually destroyed the swab samples, as they only claimed to have done so after coming under fire.

Another Win – Virginia Shipbuilder With Federal Contracts Reverses Position on Vaccine Mandate, Recalls Employees and Gives Options to Nullify Resignations


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 25, 2021 | Sundance | 79 Comments

Newport News shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls reverses their position on the vaccine mandate and claims they misinterpreted the federal requirement. After further consultations with the federal government, the shipbuilder now says the vaccine mandate doesn’t apply.  “This recent information is different from what we understood to be the government’s and the Navy’s intent,” the company said.

Huntington Ingalls previously said all of its 25,000 workers would need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as a “condition of continued employment” due to the vaccine mandate for federal workers and contractors. [Media Link] However, Newport News Shipbuilding President Jennifer Boykin said in a Facebook update Thursday that Huntington Ingalls clarified their Navy contracts “don’t include a vaccine mandate at this time.”

[Via Facebook]  President and CEO Mike Petters issued a message to employees Nov. 16 indicating that the government’s Jan. 4, 2022, deadline for vaccination is suspended. The message also clarified that after considerable work with the Navy to meet the intent of the mandate, our Navy contracts with Newport News Shipbuilding do not include a vaccine mandate requirement at this time.This recent information is different from what we understood to be the government’s and the Navy’s intent. As a result of what we know today, some of the related mandate policies and processes will now change. Because employee safety continues to be our top priority, other COVID-related policies will not change.Here’s what is changing:• COVID-19 vaccination is not required as a condition of employment for current or leased employees.• Employees who applied for a religious or medical exemption will be contacted in writing with additional clarification.• Shipbuilders who opted to submit for retirement or to resign as a result of the federal mandate have the option to request reversal of their decision.– For those who have started the retirement process, please contact the HII Benefits Center for more information.– For employees who notified management or Human Resources of plans to resign, please talk with your immediate supervisor if your plans change. Supervisors should contact their Human Resources business partner for guidance.• Offsite employees will be required to follow the guidance provided by the work location.• Subcontractors do not need to be fully vaccinated.

Viral Goalposts Shifting – Scientists, Facing Scrutiny About Vaccinations Not Stopping Virus, Announce Discovery of New Vaccine Resistant Strain of Virus


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 24, 2021 | Sundance | 224 Comments

As more data revels less benefit to vaccination status; and additional data reveals vaccinated individuals are becoming the group with the most adverse health outcomes; the scientific and medical community -writ large- are facing increased scrutiny to justify the public benefit of a seemingly endless booster approach with little upside.

In essence, what good are all these vaccinations; and specifically all the rules of proving your vaccinated status vis-a-vis passports; if the vaccinated can still be infected and spread the virus?   The voices asking this question are growing more loud by the day.  Then, all of a sudden….

[STORY LINK]

Isn’t that convenient?  A new variant that tamps down the issue of questioning science about why the vaccine doesn’t seem to work.  It appears the COVID science always has a way to explain why the COVID science may not work.

SKY NEWS – Scientists have raised concerns about a new variant of coronavirus that has an “extremely high number” of mutations that vaccines may not protect the human body against.

The B.1.1.529 variant was first detected in Botswana, Africa in November with subsequent infections confirmed through genome sequencing in South Africa and in a traveller from Hong Kong after returning from the Rainbow Nation.

Only ten cases have been reported across the world but health experts believe it could have spread further than three countries as nations ease COVID-19 restrictions and restart international travel. 

The latest variant has 32 spike mutations in the spike protein, the part of the virus that most vaccines use to boost the immune systems against the highly infectious disease.

Mutations in spike protein can affect the virus’ ability to infect cells within the body and spread but also makes it difficult for immune cells to attack the pathogen. The worrying number of mutations mean it could evade immunity.  (read more)

Not to worry, I’m confident a few more scientific lockdowns, distance rules, masks, travel restrictions, compliance checks and booster shots will be able to overcome it.  After all, it would be terrible if those COVID quarantine camps were built and then not used.

Big Three U.S. Automakers Agree to Not Mandate Vaccines for UAW Union Members


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 24, 2021 | Sundance | 74 Comments

A big win for medical privacy and the principles of freedom.  Ford, General Motors and Stellantis have agreed the United Auto Workers union members will not be forced to take the mandatory vaccine as a condition of employment.  [UAW Announcement] Additionally, the vaccine status of the workers will remain private with a policy of private and voluntary disclosure.

UAW – At a meeting Monday evening, the COVID-19 Joint Task Force, comprised of the UAW, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, has aligned on a policy of voluntary and confidential disclosure of vaccination status for UAW members. Each company will provide additional communication to employees on how, where and when to report their vaccination status.

In addition to encouraging members to disclose their vaccination status, the Task Force continues to urge all members, coworkers, and their families to get vaccinated and get booster vaccinations against COVID-19, while understanding that there are personal reasons that may prevent some members from being vaccinated, such as health issues or religious beliefs.

After reviewing the status of CDC and OSHA guidelines, the Task Force also decided it is in the best interest of worker safety to continue masks in all worksites at this time. (read more)

This helps swing the pendulum back toward the American worker.
