Yes, omicron has overtaken delta/ USA Today
From USA Today, information from South Africa on Omicron, with reporting by Karen Weintraub, a superb reporter, whose book on Lyme disease, Cause Unknown, is excellent. “…Only 2% to 4% of infected people are ending up in hospitals, compared with about 20% during the beta and delta waves, Karim said. Before, two-thirds of those hospitalized…
Hospitals are not ready, and cannot become ready: Ebola requires new healthcare facilities. Ebola is a huge money-loser; will hospitals take these patients?/ AP
On Sept 30 I wrote a blog post about how CDC’s Director Frieden was wrong to claim that any US hospital could manage an Ebola patient. Circumstances sadly proved me right in the case of Dallas, Texas. Has that changed now that we have had more time to prepare? After the death of Thomas Eric…

Prevnar then surfaced about 20 years ago for kids, starting with 7 serotypes. What it did was shift the serotype ecology, causing a reduction in…
Associating vaccines and subsequent diseases
WHO noted that narcolepsy has never before been associated with vaccines. When there is no prior association, odd diseases occuring in temporal relationship to vaccination are generally felt to be coincidental. Therefore, they are not generally reported to voluntary reporting systems, like the US’ VAERS. No data get collected, and it remains unknown whether vaccination…
