Europe’s biggest omicron outbreak ‘appears mild’, say Norway Covid experts
The omicron outbreak at an Oslo Christmas party seen as “the biggest in the world outside of South Africa”, is so far only causing mild disease, with Norway’s state epidemiologist expressing hope it might mark the beginning of the end for the pandemic.

“They have symptoms like fever, cough, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, but for now, none of them has become severely ill, and none of them have been treated in hospital,” Tine Ravlo, the Oslo infectious disease doctor responsible, told The Telegraph.

Black Box East: The role of “the East” in the West’s radical imagination
Now, the third itinerary is one of romanticism. When the cultural revolution took place in China, European Marxists who felt that the Soviet Union was too boring or gray began to fantasize. You get all these books exaggerating what’s happening in China based on a very little understanding. There is a story from the late 1960s that Ho Chi Minh met an Italian Communist Party delegation. They’re sitting in his secret house, a very modest place; he’s sitting there, characteristically, with a cigarette in his hand and the Italians ask him how they can help Vietnam, a very honest and sincere question as there are American planes above bombing the crap out of Vietnam. But Ho Chi Minh doesn’t say: send us this or that; he says “go home and make a revolution.” He’s saying: sure, we need solidarity, we need tons of it, but we don’t need romanticism. We are making our revolution. We are going to die and sacrifice and yes, we need you out there fighting against the lies that they tell about us. But go home make your revolution. What’s the point of fantasizing about Cuba? Cuba of course needs solidarity today more than ever. Venezuela needs solidarity today more than ever. But go home and make your revolution.

Growing Neo-Colonial Instability Points To The Looming Civilizational Collapse Of Most Of The Globe
I say “most of the globe” because the 21st century civilizational collapse we’re in the early stages of isn’t going to be distributed evenly. Of course, in the long term the unraveling may catch up to even the most momentarily stable areas; as futurist William Gibson has said, “The future is already here — it’s just not evenly distributed.” Which can apply to the breakdown of peace and order as much as it can apply to the expansion of life-improving technologies.

Long-Term Studies Of COVID-19 Vaccines Hurt By Placebo Recipients Getting Immunized

Long-Term Studies Of COVID-19 Vaccines Hurt By Placebo Recipients Getting Immunized
Dr. Steven Goodman, a clinical trials specialist at Stanford University, says losing those control groups makes it more difficult to answer some important questions about COVID-19 vaccines.
“We don’t know how long protections lasts,” he says. “We don’t know efficacy against variants — for which we definitely need a good control arm — and we also don’t know if there are any differences in any of these parameters by age or race or infirmity.”

Expired Vaccines! “Israel” Planned to Extend Expiration Date of Pfizer Doses
Swapping soon-to-expire COVID vaccines is one thing, but extending the expiry date is a whole new level!
The “Israeli” had previously tried to swap its expired stockpiled coronavirus shots with the United Kingdom, and before that with the Palestinian authority.
Under the exchange, the “Israeli” entity, which currently has an excess of doses, would swap around 1 million of its Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines that are due to expire on July 30 with fresh vaccines.
