Korea Begins to Scale Back Omicron Response as Cases Decline

Remember after the Delta variant the Korean government tried to a living with COVID strategy to almost immediately scrap it when the omicron wave hit. I guess this time we will se if the Korean government actually means to start living with COVID:

As COVID-19 infections are gradually showing signs of slowing down, the government is gearing up to shift to a “post-Omicron” era, in which the coronavirus might be treated as an endemic disease and COVID-19 might be managed more routinely within the general medical system. 

The country added 164,481 new infections on Saturday, raising the aggregated total to 15,333,670. The number of patients in a critical condition marked 1,114, with 329 COVID-19-related deaths.

The health authorities view that infections have entered a downward trend, with nearly 30 percent of the country’s population of 51 million having been infected.

While the government plans to announce a detailed roadmap for the post-Omicron era later this week, it has already started scaling down pandemic response measures.

Beginning Monday, screening centers installed at public health centers will no longer offer free rapid antigen tests, as local clinics are set to play a bigger role in testing and treating patients. The public testing sites will only offer PCR tests to priority groups, such as people aged 60 or over.

You know what I hear nothing of these days?

The vaxtards going on about Safe and Effective.

Completely silent.

When you have covid, it is hard to justify being a willing lab rat in a failed medical experiment because your uninformed friends did it, the always-lying teevee told you to, and you… hahaha… trusted the government and big companies.

So now that we know Effective was a complete and intentional lie, raise your hand if you think Safe might have been slightly misrepresented.

Well… actually, with the forced release of the documents Pfizer and the FDA wanted to keep secret for 80 years, we know:

– lots more side effects than officially reported

– heart inflammation was MUCH more common than all the fraudulent studies made by desperate “scientists” hoping to get funding and hyped by media hoping to get advertising dollars and promoted by government trying to get as many people as possible to take as much vaccine as possible for reasons that are still unclear.

– don’t take the vaccine while pregnant unless you live in one of those states that outlawed abortion

…and what about long-term side effects for a Safe vaccine that hasn’t been around long-term enough to evaluate? (If you bought into that lie, mark yourself down as a dummy right there.)

Well… we learned the studies were intentionally designed to hide any long-term effects by giving all the placebo group the vaccine and then ending the study with no follow-up.

Is there ANY part of this vaccine that isn’t shady when you go looking?
