Passengers on last flights back from South Africa before ban to stop spread of super-mutant Covid strain say they faced no extra restrictions and mixed with other travellers on return to UK
From Daily Mail
- Health Secretary Sajid Javid last night announced that flights from South Africa and several other countries
- But today, passengers arriving from Johannesburg were allowed to freely leave plane with no immediate tests
- Contrasted with the approach in the Netherlands, where plane doors were locked for testing to take place
Passengers arriving into the UK on one of the last flights from South Africa have revealed they were not offered tests and left to mix with hundreds of other passengers despite the country being a hotbed of the new super-mutant ‘jab-dodging’ Botswana Covid variant.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid has announced that flights from South Africa – as well as Namibia, Lesotho, Botswana, Eswatini and Zimbabwe – will be suspended from midday today. They have all been placed on the red list.
But today, passengers arriving from Johannesburg – the capital of the province of Gauteng where the variant was first identified – were subjected to ‘no additional precautions’, according to one of the people on the flight – one of three arriving at Heathrow before the ban comes into force.

New York ER Closes As Employees Refuse To Comply With Vaccine Mandate
From Summit News
An emergency room in a hospital in New York ceased operation as staff walked out, refusing to go along with the COVID vaccine mandate.
A statement released by the Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital notes that workers were given an ultimatum to either get vaccinated or be banned from coming to work.
A significant number of staff chose the latter, leading to the ER in Long Beach to shut down.
“The Emergency Department in Long Beach operated by Mount Sinai South Nassau, will be closed temporarily as of 3 PM today due to nursing staff shortages,” the statement announced.
It continues, “The staffing shortage and closure of the LBED is a result of the Hospital’s compliance with the NYSDOH’s mandate… requiring the suspension of all staff working under temporary religious exemptions who could not show proof today of receiving a first dose of COVID-19 vaccination or a valid medical exemption from receiving it.”

The closing of one emergency room affects several cities. The other emergency rooms will have to accept patients who need emergency care. During regular days, these ERs are mostly understaffed and overwhelmed with patients.
Unnecessary vaccine mandates compromise patient care in the end.
WHO designates new COVID strain Omicron as ‘variant of concern.’
From Al Jazeera
The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated a new coronavirus strain detected in South Africa as a “variant of concern”, prompting countries around the world to impose travel restrictions amid fears over its potential spread.
A WHO advisory panel on Friday said early evidence shows the new B.1.1529 variant, which it dubbed Omicron after a letter in the Greek alphabet, poses an increased risk of reinfection compared with other highly transmissible strains.

A Judge Stands up to a Hospital: “Step Aside” and Give a Dying Man Ivermectin
From The Burning Platform
Sun Ng, a retired contractor from Hong Kong, traveled to Illinois to celebrate his only granddaughter’s first birthday. He got covid and was near death in a Chicago-area hospital. All other options were exhausted, but the hospital refused to give Mr. Ng a generic, FDA-approved drug with an extraordinary safety record that a doctor believed could safe his life.
Finally, a judge asked the right question about ivermectin.
“What’s the downside?”
Put another way: If a man is dying of covid in an ICU and all else has been tried, why not order a hospital to give a safe, last-ditch drug?
Edward Hospital, located near Chicago, offered three arguments as to why Sun Ng, seventy-one, should not be given ivermectin:
- There could be side effects.
- Ordering ivermectin would violate its policies.
- Forcing the issue would be “extraordinary” judicial overreach.
On each argument, DuPage County Circuit Court Judge Paul Fullerton firmly disagreed.
“I can’t think of a more extraordinary situation than when we are talking about a man’s life,” he said in a November 5 decision that is a model of rational decision-making in an irrational era.
“I am not forcing this hospital to do anything other than to step aside,” he continued in a Zoom hearing. “I am just asking—or not asking—I am ordering through the Court’s power to allow Dr. Bain to have the emergency privileges and administer this medicine.”
The hospital ultimately stepped aside. Dr. Alan Bain, an internist, administered a five-day course of 24 milligrams of ivermectin, from November 8 through November 12.
Ng, who with his wife, Ying, had come from Hong Kong to celebrate their granddaughter’s birthday, was able to breathe without a ventilator within five days—he, in fact, removed the endotracheal himself. He left the ICU Tuesday, November 16, and, although confused and weak, was breathing Sunday without supplemental oxygen on a regular hospital floor.
“Every day after ivermectin, there was accelerated and stable improvement,” said Dr. Bain, who administered the drug in two previous court cases after hospitals refused. “Three times we’ve shown something,” he told me. “There’s a signal of benefit for ventilator patients.”

Take notice. The vast majority of stocks are held by financial giants. I would imagine that they can hire and get advice from top virologists and epidemiologists about the Nu variant. They don’t move large sums of money based on someone’s Tweets.
A Scared Nu World: Here’s What We Know About The New COVID Strain
From ZeroHedge
Summarizing of our post from last might (which we urge everyone to read) for those who are just now waking up to the global chaos resulting from the B.1.1.529 variant, which later today is expected to be named with the Greek letter Nu, here is what we know, courtesy of Newsquawk, Credit Suisse and Citi.
Background
- Regarded as the most heavily mutated variant of the Coronavirus, thus far, as it has 32 mutations in the spike protein and 50 overall. More specifically, scientists have highlighted that there are 10 mutations vs 2 in the Delta variant regarding the receptor binding domain, which is the portion of the virus that makes initial contact with cells.
- The Nu variant was identified 5 days ago initially in Botswana with subsequent confirmation and sequencing in South Africa with about 100 confirmed cases. Cases have been detected in Israel and Hong Kong and as of this morning, in Belgium.
- Sequencing data suggests 8.1.1.529 has a different evolutionary pathway, but shares a few common mutations with the C.1.2, Beta and Delta variants.
- That said, as we cautioned last night, a significant number of mutations may not necessarily be a ‘negative’ as it is dependent on how these mutations function, which scientists are yet to establish. Then again, since it is the job of science to fearmonger so that Pfizer can buy an even bigger yacht, assume it will be “very very horrifying” until proven innocuous.
Is it more deadly
- It is currently too early to determine if the new variant has higher mortality than previous variants. Reported cases only started rising in South Africa on 19 November, so any impact on hospitalizations and COVID-related deaths will not have yet emerged.
Transmission
- Oliveria, explains that the new variant is spreading very quickly, in under two-weeks it is now dominating all infections in South Africa following the Delta waves domination – writing that it the variant is “now at 75% of last genomes and soon to reach 100%”.
- Additionally, the virus contains mutations that have been seen in other variants and appear to make transmission easier.
- Outside of Africa, two cases have been reported in Hong Kong, one from a traveller from the region and another who was quarantining in the adjacent hotel room. Most recently, a case has been reported in Israel.
- In response to this, the UK has placed much of southern Africa on the red list, with Israel India, Japan and Singapore also taking similar measures. Additionally, EU Commission President von der Leyen is to propose activation of the emergency air brake, to halt travel from southern Africa.

Pfizer CEO Warns New Vaccine To Combat Heavily-Mutated Coronavirus Could Take 100 Days
From Zerohedge
Several countries — including Britain, France, Israel, Italy, and Singapore are moving fast to restrict travel from South Africa and other countries after a new coronavirus variant with mutations was discovered five days ago. The new variant is so concerning that Pfizer’s CEO confirmed a new vaccine would take more than three months to develop.
According to a research note published by Citi analyst Andrew Baum, the Nu variant, referred to as B.1.1529, was discovered in Botswana with at least 100 confirmed cases in South Africa and detection in Israel and Hong Kong. We noted Friday morning Belgium, the first European country, has documented cases of the new strain.
Baum said the next few weeks of testing would be essential to determine whether Nu is more aggressive than delta. Lab tests could conclude BioNTech, Pfizer would have to reformulate their vaccine.
He noted one Hongkonger who was double Pfizer vaccinated experienced a breakthrough infection with Nu. The breakthrough cases are concerning as waning immunity from the COVID-19 vaccine continues as governments offer booster shots.
So here’s the most troubling part.
Baum spoke with Pfizer’s CEO, Albert Bourla, who said it could take scientists 100 days to develop a novel variant vaccine to combat Nu.
In the meantime, global stock and futures markets are plunging as treasury yields sink lower. Brent and WTI dropped more than 5%. Already, countries are halting flights from South Africa and Botswana as the new variant appears to be spreading.

Three items of concern:
- Double vaxxed Hongkonger for sick with Nu. That means neutralizing antibodies are waning. Once that happens, non-neutralizing antibodies will attach to the virus and cause antibody-dependent enhancement.
- Pfizer CEO said it takes 100 days to develop the vax. That’s just development, and distribution will take longer. What about the safety studies?? Reproductive studies and oncology or cancer-causing studies? Another round of EUA will happen.
- When they make their new mRNA vax. It may include the full-length spike protein just like the original. But this time, the additional mutations on the spike protein, which is more than 30, will be on it. How will the immune system react to the new vaccine?
- A new round of vaccine mandates will happen. If you think you are secure in your jobs right now because you had the vaccine, you will be mandated again to get the new vax in the future to keep your job. Look at the VAERS table below.
There is a reason why doctors ask you questions if you have a medical complaint or someone dies. There is a need to establish the temporal profile of the disease or death. Establishing the sequence of events that lead to the symptoms or deaths helps identify the cause.
Huge clue. What happened recently that is new that may explain the death?
Below is a graph from openvaers.com. It shows the number of reported deaths by days after getting COVID shots. You don’t need a course in epidemiology or finished medical school to know the answer. Comments are mine.
This variant MAY cause antibody-dependent enhancement to both vaccinated and unvaccinated. It has the potential to turn this winter into a nightmarish hell—stock up on stuff that can prevent COVID-19. Once panic buying starts again, you won’t get them.
Scientists sound alarm over new ‘worst-ever’ super-mutant COVID variant that could make vaccines 40% less effective as the UK and Israel ban travel from South Africa and other African countries, but passengers will continue to stream into US
From: Daily Mail
- The B.1.1.529 variant has a ‘very unusual constellation’ of mutations and may be more resistant to the vaccine
- Likely to be officially named Nu, variant might evade the body’s immune response and be more transmissible
- There are currently 77 confirmed cases in South Africa, four in Botswana, one in Hong Kong and one in Israel
- However, the real numbers are likely much higher as health authorities establish the full scale of the spread
- Britain, Israel, Singapore, Germany and Ital are among increasing countries to block flights from South Africa
- There are no direct flights to US from any of the countries except South Africa. Early Friday morning, the CDC still listed South Africa as ‘Level 1: Low Level of COVID-19’ on the country’s travel advice page

Government vaccination mandates affect health care. Hospitals cannot just pull out nurses from the floor to work in the emergency room. The same with physicians. Some doctors won’t step into the emergency department. The pace in the ER is different.
In my experience, the hospital administrators who mandate the nonsensical rules are nowhere to be found in times of crisis.
Vaccine Mandate Impacting Children’s Hospital’s Care for Waukesha Victims
Wisconsin’s largest children’s hospital has been struggling to care for patients in the wake of the Waukesha Christmas Parade attack in large part because of staffing issues stemming from its COVID-19 vaccine mandate, multiple sources tell “The Dan O’Donnell Show.”
18 children were brought to the Children’s Wisconsin Milwaukee Hospital with injuries suffered when a driver plowed into parade-goers Sunday afternoon. One of those children was among the six people killed when he succumbed to his injuries Tuesday afternoon. Several of the young victims remain in critical or serious condition, and sources say the hospital simply did not have enough nurses or support staff to adequately handle the sudden rush.
“It was a nightmare,” said one nurse, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she is not authorized to speak on the record. “We just don’t have enough people and [supervisors] were frantically calling in everyone they could, but it wasn’t enough. We are taking care of everyone the best we can, but it’s hard.”
A high-ranking official at Children’s, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said the hospital currently has hundreds of open positions and attributes much of the staffing shortage to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
