Ecuador declares vaccination against covid-19 to be mandatory

This is the first country in Latin America to adopt the decision to impose immunization.

Ecuador declared this Thursday as mandatory vaccination against covid-19, at a time when the increase in cases of infection in the country continues, informed the Ministry of Public Health. "In Ecuador, vaccination against covid-19 is declared mandatory. This decision was taken due to the current epidemiological status, i.e., the increase in the number of infected and the circulation of new variants of concern, such as omicron," the official statement said. "It obeys the international trend that shows the rapidity of the contagion and the pressure on health services that have high demand for hospitalization," it adds.​

Vaccine 2.0?


Good news about COVID in December 2021 is hard to find, but Defense One published some of it on Tuesday, writing that scientists at the Army’s Walter Reed Institute of Research in Maryland say they’ve developed a vaccine which proved effective against all strains of the virus, including omicron, in Phase 1 (human) trials. (It still must go through two more trial phases before being approved for widespread use.)

Even before Tuesday’s report, the possibility that the military might be on the verge of concocting a super-vax had begun attracting attention. Its vaccine, like some others in earlier stages of development, is produced by attaching the all-important spike proteins from a variety of coronaviruses, not just the one that causes COVID-19, to a nanoparticle. Preliminary—preliminary!—results suggest that this technique might create antibodies that work against COVID and some seasonal colds and against known coronavirus strains that have not yet even appeared in humans.

Can actually agree with this

Omicron’s cold-like symptoms mean UK guidance ‘needs urgent update’

Lead scientist on Zoe Covid study says ‘misinformation’ in official messaging must be addressed to save lives

www.theguardian.com

Peter Openshaw, professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College London speaking in a personal capacity, said there was evidence that the virus was changing the way it behaved, in terms of cells that it infected, leading to changing symptoms.
Recent data, including a study from Hong Kong, found that Omicron was less able to infect deep lung tissue but more able to infect higher bronchial tissue.

“It appears to be shifting towards a virus that infects higher up in the respiratory tract and is therefore adapting to be more transmissible partly because it is changing the cell types it infects,” Openshaw said.

Very interested to see what the next iteration of covid will be because Omicron is very much like a cold. If covid remains a cold then surely that's it? Pandemic over? Can all go back to living normally?

Its ability to transmit from one person to the next doesn't appear to be a joke - at least here in the UK. One can hope that such an ability isn't given to a more dangerous virus!

I was thinking about that and I can only conclude that what he said about this doesn't match up to what I've actually experienced

• The first time I lost my smell and it was quite the ride. The tests also confirmed covid. Due to this I'm pretty certain it was covid - for sure not flu which I've had before. The experience was "intense" like all the cells in your body were being seared .
• The 2nd time (now) it feels different from the 1st time, like the mode of attack is different. I'm quite headachy and my nasal area is super congested / pressured + my throat is a bit dry and feels a bit like sand paper. If anything I'd have thought what I feel now may be the false positive as it's not as intense as the 1st time (fingers crossed it stays this way) but the test is positive and it fits the symptoms for Omicron (i.e. more like a cold). Will see what PCR says.

I can only speak from what I'm experiencing - I'd need a doctor or scientist to demonstrate the premise that it isn't covid twice as my experience contradicts that. Keeping an open mind as can't take McCullough's premise at face value given this - the situation in the world may have changed with Omicron.

In any case, either there's something haywire with my immune system or there's something strange with Omicron (which is what I think I have now) that it evaded my immune system - it could be that I was exposed to a very high viral load or it could be that it has been enhanced with the capability to "infect" cells more effectively.

Imagine how strange it is sitting here, having "Omicron" symptoms after having had a more intense covid experience not more than 4 months ago! It is VERY weird. My Xmas is also cancelled... dear me... must have done something wrong .

It'll be interesting to see if other cases like mine pop up i.e. previously recovered people coming down with this new covid variant.

I wonder if there's something to this:

Omicron is Not Normal

Everything suggests this variant was leaked from a laboratory engaged in gain-of-function research.

Feel better soon @SOTTREADER ! I have friends who also have covid at the moment, the omicron variant, and they have the same symptoms, but it's a bit harder for them because they have shortness of breath (it's also the 1st time they caught covid). They got a protocol from a friend who is homeopath, if you need it, I can forward you the list.

Take care !

I think this is the part where the real plague comes in. Plus the effects of vaccines would be more visible at this point (side effects) Hopefully not though.

Thank you @ryu. Please forward me the list - others may be interested as well as I think Omicron will spread far and wide at the rate it's going.

That would at least explain why one apparently can catch it twice and why so many hospitalized are fully vaccinated.

“NONE [OF THE DOCTORS] QUESTION WHETHER THE VACCINE CAUSES MYOCARDITIS, PERICARDITIS AND THE STROKES THAT ARE COMING IN. IF THEY DON’T TOE THE LINE, THEY COULD LOSE THEIR MEDICAL LICENSE.”

“I FEEL LIKE OUR HOSPITAL IS … BARELY ABLE TO FUNCTION RIGHT NOW. THAT’S HOW BAD IT IS.”

Thinking GVB, it could be some sort of "antigenic sin" that led me to catch it again. Perhaps the antibodies I got from my previous infection aren't a good fit for Omicron and as GVB says, they outcompeted the innate antibodies. Perhaps the way Omicron is so different and attacks different cells also meant the rest of the immune system wasn't quite geared for it. Maybe? One thing I do know is that I'm feeling very different symptoms to the old one, almost like it's taking advantage of some other path.

Added: one thing is the same. My resting heart rate is back up to the 80s. It did the same thing last time before going down to 60s/70s.

I don't know if it's been pointed out before but the USA, IMO, is a seemingly hypochondriac nation that abuses the heck out of the medical system. It's fertile ground for this kind of scare tactic. I've known so many people throughout my years in workplaces who are running for doctor appointments at the slightest cause. One woman I knew with multiple (healthy) teenaged children was asking for time-outs for doctor appointments, dozens per year. At one point, I didn't even have a primary care physician for the better part of ten years, and somewhat regret going back into the system - the health insurance I have requires it to avoid financial penalties. Such an ugly system. Just imagine if physicians could all practice with more independence and less administration.

Vermont, BTW, is the nation's "bluest" state.

Because Trump took a booster shot, now, lots of his followers no longer support him.

Situation Update, Dec 21, 2021 - Trump's vaccine-pimping rhetoric proves it's all POLITICAL THEATER run by the pharma cartels

(Natural News) Trump’s public speech on the vaccine has become indistinguishable from Fauci’s. In a recent event in Dallas, Texas, Trump sat next to Bill O’Reilly and bragged about taking the booster shot, adding that all Trump supporters should “take credit” for Operation Warp Speed and how Trump managed to shorten the vaccine approval and development time from 5-12 years to less than one year.

Trump did that, of course, by skipping all the necessary clinical trials, producing a deadly covid jab that has now killed an estimated 800,000 Americans (and counting).

Trump completely ignores this mass death across America and scorns his own audience, telling them, “Don’t mock the vaccinated.” He seems utterly tone deaf to the reality that it is the unvaccinated who are being condemned, mocked, fired from their jobs, kicked out of restaurants and arrested in places like New York.

Trump now appears to be completely isolated from real America, showing zero understanding of the kind of totalitarian nightmare unvaccinated Americans are currently living through. Trump is completely out of touch with his own support base and the struggles they are facing due, in large part, to Trump selling them out to Big Pharma and the Federal Reserve.

Trump further condemns his own supporters, telling them that if they doubt the vaccine, “You’re playing right into their hands.” Whose hands? The hands of the pharma cartel that Trump enriched with Operation Warp Speed?

But Trump has made a fatal mistake in all this, and it looks like this will end Trump’s remaining popularity among real Americans: His supporters aren’t brain dead zombies like Biden supporters, and Trump voters think for themselves. Which means they see right through this charade and have come to realize that it is Trump who is playing into the hands of Big Pharma.

I know what you mean. With all the medical advertising going on all over the place it seems you just aren't American unless you have some sort of medical condition. Of course, many people do have one thing or the other because everything is so toxic these days, but the way the system is set up now it is easy for many to abuse it. It's sad.

I've been thinking about the theory that 'everyone' is talking about – about how they created (and are perpetuating) the Covid scare in order to make the vaxx passports (soon to be morphed into a social credit system etc.) ubiquitous and mandatory, and also to create a cashless society. The more I think about this, the less it makes sense.

I mean, with all the control over the media 'they' have I'm sure they could convince at least 90% of the people in developed countries to accept and start using an upgraded digital ID app, where various personal statuses and credits are presented. Pre-Covid, it appears to me that most people have, for instance, religiously taken their influenza and other 'normal' vaccines, taken their statins and other mostly unnecessary medications – without questioning Big Pharma at all. Then we've had 'The War on Terror' and 'Climate Change' campaigns going on for ages without wide spread suspicion/resistance, and those have already been used to tax and force people and companies to make all sorts of mandatory arrangements.

Various 'wallets' with flight tickets on your smartphone, and apps to pay your bills digitally are already widely in use, so introducing (maybe gradually) more 'features' (like displaying the carbon foot print of your groceries) would probably be a nothing-burger for most people. So why would they need the Covid scare to do this?

So why would they need the Covid scare to do this?

Trying to answer my own question () I think that the answer lies in that the Covid scare is/was used for multiple agendas simultaneously. The probably accidental escape of the SARS-CoV-2 virus put all these agendas in motion, of which some agendas had been practised and planned for decades. 'They' had their players and informed infuencers ready and waiting for things to start.

And now all these agendas are in motion and getting a boost from the Covid scare. Thus, being greedy and engaging in wishful thinking the psychopaths are also using the opportunity to hasten the implementation of the digital ID (passport) and cashless thingy, which without 'Covid' could have taken a bit longer to implement – but that was not the sole and prinicipal motive behind the whole thing.
