Just in time for Christmas and the ‘sort-of but not-really’ Lockdown our covid emperors crave, a new covid variant has been discovered – in South Africa. It’s labelled ‘Nu’ and everybody, from Javid down to the MSM ‘science’ editors down, are busy creating ‘panic’. We’re told this is the ‘worst-ever’ mutant because of changes in that spike protein, and our and Israel’s government have stopped flights from SA, Botswana and a whole host of other countries in southern Africa. Those already here are told to ‘self-quarantine’.

So, trembling with fear because that’s what the covid emperors want, I’ve dutifully read the reports and articles and looked at the scare graphs. Frankly, I’m aghast, becoming more furious by the minute. The propaganda is so blatant that I wonder if all those writers really believe they can get away with it.

For example, nowhere are we told how many people in SA, infected with this new ‘Nu’, are in hospital or dying. We learn instead that “The samples dated from tests taken on November 14 and 16. On Wednesday, even as scientists were analysing the genome, other samples were found in Botswana and China, originating from travellers from South Africa.” (link, paywalled)

The DM has dedicated the top spot on their homepage to this ‘horror variant’,with some lovely graphs. So when one scrolls down a bit (link) there’s a map showing that 3 cases (!) have been detected in Botswana, six (!) in SA and one (!) in HongKong. Scrolling a bit further, past some lovely images of covid variants floating around, we read that “Only 59 confirmed cases have been identified in South Africa, Hong Kong and Botswana.” and that actually there are two (!) cases in Hongkong and 100 altogether (link).

Nobody really knows because the countries in southern Africa are lacking ‘proper surveillance’ and therefore the actual numbers infected are unknown. I’ve done a simple mathematical operation called subtraction and can state that the ‘finds’ of that Nu variant are at least ten days old. So where are the reports of people in SA hospitalised with this variant? If it’s so contagious, more even than Delta, there surely should have been some? One would have thought that patients ending up in hospital with this latest variant would be rather obvious, no? Still, ‘confirmed cases’ sound scary, doesn’t it but, as we all know, ‘a case’ is not = being hospitalised with a raging infection!

Our own beloved Professor Pantsdown told the DM that “this variant appears to be driving a rapid increase in case numbers in South Africa.” (link). I should think so, too, now that SA scientists have found in their tests where to look! Apparently, the mutated spike protein had so many new mutations that their PCR set-up was unable to multiply it so it could be studied. He has also said something with which I actually agree: 

“However, we do not yet have reliable estimates of the extent to which B.1.1.529 [the Nu variant] might be either more transmissible or more resistant to vaccines, so it is too early to be able to provide an evidence-based assessment of the risk it poses.” (link).

Really! How astonishing! But let’s hand out a jolly good dose of panic to our covid lemmings anyway! The DM quotes other scientists whose words can be summarised simply thus: ‘the samples are too small, we can’t really say anything’. However, “we” better be afraid, very afraid, even though not one case has been detected in the UK, even though it was found 10 days ago and travellers – allegedly 500 per day – have been coming in from SA. 

I wonder why all those science editors haven’t asked all those scientific covid experts one simple question. So I’ll ask it instead: did this Nu variant only appear, ghost-like, on the day it was discovered or mightn’t it have been around for some time, undiscovered, not doing very much? 

The official reason for this latest fear propaganda is that the current vaccines may not protect against this variant. Well, since the vaccines available have all been developed for the first, the Alpha variant, that stands to reason. We also have surely learned by now that the vaccines don’t ‘protect’ us from infection but are only making covid less horrible once we’re infected. 

Surely it’s time, well past time in fact, to demand that treatments, cheaply available, must now be used? Surely it’s time to permit doctors to prescribe Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine to patients, to be used at home? The data, suppressed by the covid Government-Big Pharma Industrial complex, speak for themselves.

I’ve come across an observation which made me sit up, namely that the astonishingly low incidence of covid across Africa might be due to the fact that the people there are taking Hydroxychloroquine as a weekly anti-malaria prophylaxis and have been doing so for years. (It’s in Robert Kennedy’s book ‘The Real Anthony Fauci’ – read it if you want to be angry and sick at every turn of the page.) Is that why South Africans and others aren’t now in hospital with the Nu variant?

Instead of pushing ‘Teh Booster’, a jab which is based on the Alpha variant and which won’t protect against this latest Nu, we should demand that the cheap drugs, shown to work in innumerable cases, be prescribed and made available. We should ask why we need to wait for a ‘course’ of re-designed antivirals which cost about £700 per treatment when Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are so cheap. 

Javid and Johnson needed to have a reason to use their ‘Plan B’ – and lo and behold, here it is. You cannot tell me that Javid and his covid henchpeople didn’t know about this variant, that the various scientists here hadn’t been made aware by their SA colleagues who, remember, detected this variant ten days ago! That’s why Javid spoke about his ‘Plan B’ last Sunday: he knew and the SAGEs knew what was coming. I’m sure the scientific editors in the MSM have had an inkling as well, before coming out with their scare reports just now – perfectly timed for the weekend. 

We’re being expertly prepared for a new Nu outbreak. No cases have been found in the UK – but test and search and ye surely shall find! So get ready for ‘Plan B’, a ‘private’ lockdown for Christmas. At least we’ll have a turkey each – Johnson promised!
