Numbers from week 3's report: as hospitalisations for/with Covid-19 rise again, almost 70% of all admissions are 'vaccinated', with esp. triple-jabbed high-risk patients flooding Norway's ICUs
The Danish PM recently "thanked the vaccinated" when announing the end of all mandates etc., which I find, in all honesty, weird. Maybe it's a kind of "double-speak", perhaps it's a kind of (self-) delusion, but it might also just be throwing in the towel and hoping no-one will notice it.
As I wrote above, it's a lose-lose for both government and the media (which makes it a 2x (lose-lose), mathematically speaking), which will render the ensuing shit-show even more troublesome.
As to the first country to break the omertà, my guess is it's going to be a Scandinavian country, but they are all small, i.e., it's not about any country, hence, it must be a bigger one. If this is the case, my money is on--Italy.
Why Italy, you'd might ask? Draghi, the current PM, might become president, which has the potential to bring down the government.
It is apparently still not clear to the authorities in Austria and Germany where they are still pushing full steam ahead. As proud and as encouraged as I am of the very large and growing demonstrations taking place all across Germany, they are not necessarily getting fair coverage. There are still many oblivious to the size and vehemence of the opposition to vax mandates. I also suspect may politicians are quite blinkered to the reality.
A vaccine mandate will neither end the pandemic nor eradicate the virus.
Yet a vaccine mandate will shake citizen's trust in politics, the state, and institutions to its very core.
The fallout from my house looks like this: my wife who is entirely apolitical says she will vote right wing or left wing come the next election in Germany. And that’s nothing to do with ethno-nationalism or economic policy and everything to do with corona politics. It’s going to be a wrecking ball through establishment politics in Germany.
Yes, Draghi is 110% establishment, but he's also an unlected technocrat--and there's virtually no-one left over to take over IF Draghi becomes president. This means: new elections, which is like a lottery these days.
I saw that piece on Solberg's statements about the slave pass, and I agree with your assessments (also: lol on the Blair-is-Gollum part, which I deem funny because it's true).
As to the VG piece on Solberg you allude to, the even more frightening issue in it, in my opinion, is the 'announcement' that the Conservatives shall become the 'true' green party.
Not wishing to pry into your medical history but I'm going to presume none of your family is vaccinated either so COVID for you could not have been any worse than it was?! ;-)
To be honest I was getting nervous in the beginning of December. The winter delta wave was showing signs of being dangerous.
Now I am here sick with what I suppose is omicron, after a positive test on Monday, and if I did not know it was corona I would have gone to work all week.
I suppose it was always in the balance for a Marek disease kind of development, where vaccine protects and unvaccinated are screwed and the typical corona spike protein ADE, where the vaccinated have it worse.
I suppose with omicron it was the second scenario that won.
To be honest I do not know why am not at work today, if it were not for the fines, that is.
But I have hit this thing with a ton of pills, and probably half of them have no effect. I have used C and D vitamins, magnesium and selenium, quercetin and zinc, aspirin, n-acetyl cysteine, green tea extract, l-arginine and zyrtec. Decided against the pepcid and never started with the bromhexsinhydroclorid (bisolvon).
For profylaxis i lost weight and took the DTaP vaccine.
Probably half this list does nothing, but I could not see how they could hurt and i have seen at list one paper that showed results.
Probably the virus just got scared of the amount of stuff that suddenly appeared in my blood.
Why isn’t significant preexisting conditions added to these studies. If the unvaccinated can’t take a shot due to poor health that’s significant. I would imagine most who end up hospitalized have more in common than just vaccine status - if I’m wrong that’s significant too.
good point about the US. I finished watching Sen. Johnson's hearing, and I am inclined to concur, with the exception that Norwegian media reported earlier today that kids should better get infected rather than jabbed. Let's hope most parents agree with this (we do).
Check out my most recent piece and let me know what you think!
If one Western country officially declares the vaccination campaign a failure, others will follow. But which country will step forward?
That, I think, is a valid point.

Please nudge her towards the right wing
That’s confused me. Isn’t Draghi seen as the establishment choice. He’s the least disruptive option, no?
Would love to have Italy explained. You’re doing a good job with Austria…

I smell CO2-Passports in this.
I’d go for Iceland.
One place opts out and it’s all up in smoke. I hope anyway.

Get well soon, if you're not better already.
My bout of Omicron was about the same, even though a week after 'recovery', I'm still very exhausted, even after a good night's rest.

Thanks. I am better now.

Hi Pawsative, and welcome!
You're correct, and I've pointed this out repeatedly, e.g.,
https://fackel.substack.com/p/covid-in-norwaychristmas-edition
https://fackel.substack.com/p/currently-mrna-is-considered-a-gene
It is highly relevant, but the IPH won't share these data.
Great analysis, thanks!

Hi PolarNinja,
good point about the US. I finished watching Sen. Johnson's hearing, and I am inclined to concur, with the exception that Norwegian media reported earlier today that kids should better get infected rather than jabbed. Let's hope most parents agree with this (we do).

The IPH actually does this, and the information may be obtained here:
https://www.fhi.no/nettpub/coronavirus/befolkningen/risikogrupper/
All of the above issues (and then some) apply, but the IPH maintains that age--70-plus--is the most important risk factor.
