I think the number of deaths in China for their omicron wave will be closer to the number provided here than by the one million deaths figure by Hong Kong University. The infection fatality rate would be about 0.03 %. It could be little higher, about 400,000 or 0.04%. Lower than the 0.1% seen in South Korea and Japan, comparable countries in experiencing large omicron waves but with different vaccines and population immunity. That translates to a lot of infections per day, over 10 million at peak. Also, it is unethical to use a mRNA gene therapy platform developed for use with cancer patients and inborn errors of metabolism, those at significant risk of dying, on healthy people at low risk, particularly children with their lives ahead of them. What would have been ethical to stop a worldwide MERS outbreak cannot apply to the present omicron variant. There is no longer any real public health emergency. After 3 years, there is real progress in finding the right antigen for use in a vaccine. It is important not to repeat the same mistake of using nearly unmodified spike protein in a vaccine, and not to have heeded the failures of developing a SARS vaccine just by using spike in a mRNA system.
Merry Christmass everyone!
Sorry about the bad news.
If that variant is so virulant it is sure to spread all over the world.
(sarcasm thank you to the researchers creating the baseline model virus that made this absurd virus mutating that will never go away. Thank you a really great gift to the world /sarcasm).
You deserve to be knighted for all the wonderful information you provide us with. Wishing you God’s blessings and a very merry Christmas!
Experimental mRNA technologies completely untested? Huh?
Well not unless you consider 20 years of development of cancer treatments, Phase I,II/III studies for a vaccine against SAR_CoV-2 in the 10s of thousands, and post marketing studies in same with an n of billions … as being some variety of an hypothesis test.
This word "test" you use, I do not think it means what you think it does
I live in Shanghai. things are not as bad as it is reported in west media. of course there are deaths. around 50% people I know contracted covid so far, and all recovered or recovering. I have commented a few times on other channels as to how I feel the severity of the covid situation in China, and people are disappointed and called me Wumao.
With a over billion people about to be infected that may be enough for a significant mutation. Let's hope, if that happens, it's not a worse one that we all need to try out.
I’ve always admired Canada and Australia for their vast resources and low populations. I wonder if anyone else has noticed. The new peoples republic of Chinanada.
Oh, my goodness, what's with the obsession with death on this planet, you guys are a bunch of grinches.
What exageratted reports? Hospitals are jam packed, people are getting IVs in their cars! Tesla closed its Shanghai factory today for the time being. Don’t sugarcoat things, Sir.
The overwhelming of crematoriums, cemeteries is a direct consequence of the so called zero Covid policy, where the entire process of burial/cremation gets slowed down to 1/50th of its usual speed – attributed to the slow transfer of bodies, slower digging of graves, distance between graves affecting the available space, time taken to dig deeper graves, the crowd control measures – like people participating in burial to be over tested, hence affecting the availability of the "green QR" workers, not all cemeteries/crematoriums/burial grounds being available as Covid specific making non Covid specific crematoriums lay vacant while others overflow while the media show the overflowing ones not "paying attention" to the empty sites……it goes on. In short, even if there are 100 burials usually done at one site, due to Covid (sorry, due to the protocol), the effective processing capacity reduces to 1 – 2 a day. Apply to these all the procedural, clerical errors that only add up to the worse……we get what we are shown today in China, what we were shown last year in India, and what we were shown in Italy in 2020. Theres no such wave, theres only a magician's show where he takes rabbits out of his hat and we watch bewildered!!
Happy Xmas Doc
I'm in Shanghai. I'm infected but not reported. There are countless cases that haven't been reported yet.
give it a rest more injections, open your bloody eyes man,
Rsv, flu, etc…on rise…cuz masking and social isolation reduced exposure to common micropathogens. Our family masked at minimum and we are doing okay. Vit D and to God be the Glory! Covid came in our home the baby and middle child five years old did fine no symptoms. Me and hubby had a cold but kept moving and working out. Our eight year old was symptomatic but okay in a day or so. Not a vaxxed family. Our vacxxed friends and colleagues were so sick much longer and got the positive result three times over the pure bloods.
Merry Christmas Dr. Campbell. Thank you for all that you do ❤
What the mainstream media is biased and create headlines for China open the border will die 1million people and the mRNA pharm companies started working hard to sell the vaccines to China
Repeatedly referring to mRNA as a "completely untested technology" is just bollocks mate. Massive clinical trials were conducted involving tens of thousands of volunteers were conducted – anyone can go and look at the peer-reviewed trial data. We also have the data from the Yellow Card scheme, and the far superior data from the US where you can look at individual anonymised case histories.
If you want to refer to mRNA as new, absolutely go right ahead, and definitely point out flaws and issues and so on, using the evidence. But don't call it "untested", because that is just demonstrably, probably false and it damages your credibility to refer to it as such. If you're so keen to follow the evidence wherever it leads, you don't need to commit the logical fallacy of poisoning the well everytime you refer to mRNA.
Merry Christmas John. Thanks for all you do!
Black Pilled! What a sad day for Dr John.
Thank you for all your work. I really don’t understand why Canada’s health authorities have Not been more proactive with studies on Covid vaccines for Children. I have a terrible feeling we will hear in a year that the news is Not good and they just didn’t know…. Instead we have cringe videos from Dr Tam pretending to call Santa for advice for kids Covid vaccines. Awful.
How the rich will profit from government contracts arranged by their lackeys.
