South Korea Lifts All COVID Isolation Requirements for International Arrivals

The isolation requirements may have been lifted, COVID testing before and after arrival is still required:

On Wednesday, the government lifted the mandatory seven-day self-isolation period for all international arrivals, regardless of their nationalities or vaccination status.

Still, international arrivals are required to take a PCR virus test within three days of their entry into South Korea. They also must submit a negative COVID-19 result — by taking either a PCR test or supervised rapid antigen test — before boarding flights to South Korea.

South Korea increased the number of weekly flights on international routes to 732 in June from 532 in May as it began fully normalizing the operation of Incheon International Airport amid growing air travel demand.

How long will this last?

BA.4 and BA.5 are already variants of concern and are showing potential to be the Summer Wave and/or Winter Wave.

The scientists with the right opinion as reported by the media are laying the groundwork for how the two mutations on the spike protein makes it escape the double vaccine and booster but a second booster gives good protection. It is unclear how true this is.

They also say the vaccine is better than natural immunity even though we know that to be false because natural immunity recognizes the spike protein it was exposed to plus other proteins on the virus that have not mutated since the alpha strain. The vaccine only recognizes the spike protein of the extinct alpha strain. Also, every legitimate study has had quotes like “natural immunity lasted the length of the study”, as the vaccine has not yet been out two years.

The basic media message is that natural immunity won’t protect you (lie) and the vaccine plus a booster won’t protect you well (true) but another booster will protect you (probably true). What is left out is that the booster only lasts for a few months, leaves you exceptionally vulnerable for the first two week, and sets you up for a lifetime of needing boosters every time a new variant comes out.

While Korea has claimed they will not go back to restrictions, a lot of countries will and they will simply say, “Nice export economy you have, team player.”

Enjoy the fun while you can. It is unclear how long it will last.

Both my wife and I just got over the latest strain of covid to spread around here. She had just the two original shots, and felt bad for two days. by four days, she was fine. I had no shots, and although I was never really very sick, I had a nagging cough for several weeks. I had thought that after two years, we had been lucky and missed this thing, but it finally caught up with us. At any rate, we are fine now. Was what for most people a mild to bad cold a reason for destroying the economies of the world? I’m hopeful we can finally make a trip to Korea, without me having to get the shots and the “boosters”, which seem to have killed a lot of people under mysterious circumstances.

Things that should never have been. Globalist scam-demic.

We already know the end game.

CH suggested that the Koreans of the ROK Drop should stick to matters regarding Korea.

But he and the members of the Church of Setnaffarism™ smelled an opportunity and per their hypocritical ways posted more BS regarding Covid-19 and vaccines, when the original post was about Korea loosening regulations.

The only comment that comes close to the subject is the comment made by don who unfortunately showed his hand with the last sentence which seems suspicously Setnaffarian™.

Korea Person, however the NeW sTrAiNs, the vaccine, the boosters, the lies, the self-destructive responses, etc., play out, it will affect everyone in Korea.

Everyone in Korea will have to navigate whatever knee-jerk or globalist-dictated regulations are forced on the population.

It should be clear we have all been lied to. The vaccine did not work. My evidence for this statement is how quickly we went from “breakout infections are very rare” to “they never said it would stop you from catching covid” to pretty much everyone vaccinated catching covid.

It doesn’t “keep you out of the hospital” because normal healthy people don’t die or go to the hospital. They didn’t before the vaccine and they didn’t after the vaccine.

Real science strongly suggests the vaccinated who got covid in this last wave will get it again in the next wave. If this doesn’t happen this winter, I won’t have much authority to talk on this subject.

If it happens this summer, I won’t shut up, as it opens up several new lines of speculation.

Bonus: This is only theory, but there is some decent science that speculates the vaccinated could get chronic covid that slowly degrades their immune system, not unlike the AIDS virus. Enjoy that thought.

I have spent two years studying all of this as a hobby. At this point it is unclear if I am better informed than the average scientist in these fields but I am certainly more truthful than the ones the lying media trot out to give dishonest opinions.

If you would like a deeper explanation of anything I say, I would LOVE to discuss it with someone interested.

If you think a specific point is “BS”, point it out and tell me why it is wrong. That is the way science works.

If you cannot do this, your opinion is completely invalid and you become a subject of ridicule.

KP should definitely get the Safe and Effective vaccines and boosters and ignore that VAERS data, as that’s just raaaacisss.

Here is a nice covid booster update for you all!

Moderna is preparing to release a new booster which is no longer based on the extinct alpha strain but instead is based on omicron.

Will this work?

You can look up the study!

A Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety of mRNA-1273.529 Vaccine for the COVID-19 Omicron Variant B.1.1.529

What do you mean, you can’t find it?

Oh. There it is. It has been renamed.

A Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety of Omicron Variant Vaccines in Comparison With mRNA-1273 Booster Vaccine for COVID-19

Now why would they do that?

Ah. I see. BA.1 is technically omicron but it has been extinct since December 2021. BA.4 and BA.5 are the NeW sTrAiNs right now that will likely hit in August 2022 and December 2022.

And the genetic difference between BA.4/5 and BA.1 is greater than BA.1 and alpha (which is one of the reasons omicron is suspected to have come from a lab… it seems impossible for a strain to have come directly from alpha yet go unnoticed for two years).

Anything else of interest?

It would seem the booster didn’t work. We know this because the second formulation added more of the original vaccine for alpha strain into the mix.

Why would they do this?

Remember, the vaccinated were vaccinated against the alpha strain spike protein. The way they beat covid is by having lots of antibodies that partially fight the newer strains. Quantity is over quality. By including more of the original vaccine, the vaccinated immune system locked on the alpha strain creates more antibodies. This will boost the immune system against newer strains while they last.

There is lots of shady manipulation with this study. Conditions, participants, formulations all have changed.

This is all simple to verify. What are the results of the study?

Ah. That won’t be released for at least a year.

Don’t forget your booster to stay Safe and Effective.
