WHO Warns of New COVID Variant, “Omicron,” Claims it Targets Young People

by travis12 hours ago12 hours ago



The latest COVID “variant” is beginning to pick up mainstream attention.

The variant, which has been dubbed “Omicron” by the World Health Organization (WHO), has allegedly been detected in South Africa.
According to scientists, Omicron is “highly transmissable,” especially in young people…
As world governments continue to push hard for COVID vaccinations in children, the timing of this news seems suspect to those paying close enough attention.

Scientists in South Africa are scrambling to combat the new COVID-19 variant omicron's lightning spread across the country. The country’s case numbers are still relatively low, but omicron’s speed in infecting young people has alarmed health professionals.

The WHO are claiming that the new variant spreads quicker in young people, which is convenient timing since there is currently a big push to vaccinate children.
The Associated Press has more on the WHO's claim:

Worried scientists in South Africa are scrambling to combat the lightning spread across the country of the new and highly transmissible omicron COVID-19 variant as the world grapples with its emergence.

In the space of two weeks, the omicron variant has sent South Africa from a period of low transmission to rapid growth of new confirmed cases. The country’s numbers are still relatively low, with 2,828 new confirmed cases recorded Friday, but omicron’s speed in infecting young South Africans has alarmed health professionals.

“We’re seeing a marked change in the demographic profile of patients with COVID-19,” Rudo Mathivha, head of the intensive care unit at Soweto’s Baragwanath Hospital, told an online press briefing.

“Young people, in their 20s to just over their late 30s, are coming in with moderate to severe disease, some needing intensive care. About 65% are not vaccinated and most of the rest are only half-vaccinated,” said Mathivha. “I’m worried that as the numbers go up, the public health care facilities will become overwhelmed.”
Conservatives are questioning the timing of this new variant, since it comes at a time where the vaccine is being pushed heavily for children.

Oh man. That’s quite a discovery. A new variant that’s dangerous to kids? And it was discovered right as they’re about to make a major push to vaccinate children?

Wait a minute....

Oh, there’s a new variant and health “experts” say it’s really dangerous for kids? Just in time for Covid vaccines to be approved for young children? What a coincidence.

Think about this:Biden's poll numbers are through the floor, he wants to mandate the COVID vaccine on our children, and Americans are pushing back hard. Suddenly the midterm variant shows up, and it happens to target, get this, primarily the young.

I don’t know what’s going on with this new variant but I went out and got my eleventh dose of the Pfizer and Moderna just in case. My kids have returned to their quarantine pods and we will once again be triple masking in the house. This is not the time to let your guard down.

Just rearrange the letters and you get the true meaning of 'omicron'.

It's been 554 days since "15 days to slow the spread."They said get "fully vaccinated," now push "boosters."They said vaccines stop the spread, but they don't. They promised no mandates, then issued them.You'd be a fool to trust these "experts" with your children's lives.

There is no justification for forcing children to get the COVID vaccines.
