Covid news – live: BA.2 variant ‘under investigation’, as total post-Christmas cases nearly hit 500,000 a day
Colin Drury, The Independent via Yahoo News,Sat, 22 January 2022
Health chiefs have revealed they are officially monitoring a new version of Covid-19 – which has been nicknamed “stealth Omicron”.
The UK Health Security Agency has marked BA.2 a “variant under investigation” – one level below a “variant of concern” – after early data suggested it may be both more transmissible and better able to evade vaccines than previous strains of the killer virus.
It is a sub-lineage of the original Omicron – BA.1 – but appears to have certain differences that may make it both faster at spreading and harder to detect.
According to the World Health Organisation, it is now probably outpacing the earlier strain with some 8,000 cases identified in more than 40 countries, including the US, India, Germany and Australia.

In the UK, some 426 cases have been detected since the new lineage was first designated in December. Although that number may seem small in comparison with the tens of thousand of daily cases of Covid-19 over the last two months, it is thought the real figure of BA.2 will be many times higher because only a fraction of infections are checked for variations.
Its stealth nickname comes from one of its key differences with the original Omicron.

Ivermectin Could Destroy Justification For Lockdowns And Vaccine Mandates
Authored by Harry Lee and Nicholas VandenNieuwenhof via The Epoch Times,
Federal health agencies haven’t recognized ivermectin as an effective treatment for COVID-19 patients. According to Doctor Leland Stillman, the reason is more political than scientific, because otherwise there would be no basis for lockdowns or vaccine mandates.
“If ivermectin were recognized by the public health and academic establishment as the drug that it is, that treats acute viral illnesses, one of which is COVID-19, the entire justification for lockdowns, mandates, let alone vaccine research and development would evaporate overnight,” Stillman told The Epoch Times in a recent interview.

According to Section 564 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (pdf), the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) can only issue emergency use authorization if certain criteria are met, including “there is no adequate, approved, and available alternative to the product.”
So if there’s an approved alternative, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—an agency in HHS—can’t issue emergency use authorization for COVID-19 vaccines.
Stillman said it’s not a conspiracy theory or even an isolated opinion that ivermectin works for treating COVID-19, because tens of thousands of physicians all over the world have recognized its effectiveness.

British Medical Journal Demands Immediate Release of All COVID-19 Vaccine, Treatment Data
via Zero Hedge
Authored by Katabella Roberts
The British Medical Journal (BMJ) has demanded the full and immediate release of all data related to COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, saying it is in the public’s interest to do so.
BMJ, a weekly peer-reviewed medical trade journal published by the trade union the British Medical Association, called for the release of the data in an editorial published on Wednesday.
“Today, despite the global rollout of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, the anonymized participant-level data underlying the trials for these new products remain inaccessible to doctors, researchers, and the public—and are likely to remain that way for years to come,” BMJ said.
“This is morally indefensible for all trials, but especially for those involving major public health interventions.”
BMJ also accused pharmaceutical companies of “reaping vast profits without adequate independent scrutiny of their scientific claims,” pointing to Pfizer, whose COVID vaccine trial was “funded by the company and designed, run, analyzed, and authored by Pfizer employees.”
New York-headquartered Pfizer still holds that trial data and has indicated that it won’t begin considering requests for such data until May 2025—24 months after the primary study completion date of May 15, 2023, which is listed on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Since coronavirus pandemic lockdowns were implemented by many governments in 2020, people around the world have held largely peaceful protests against unprecedented social distancing restrictions that are devastating global economies and ruining people’s lives. Now, faced with being ordered to obey new laws that require them to be injected with COVID-19 vaccines in order to enter public spaces or hold a job, on July 24, 2021–World Freedom Day–hundreds of thousands of people of all ages took to the streets in Australia, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Greece and Germany to publicly challenge oppressive public health laws.
The messages on the signs they held were diverse but they were united in pushing back against government overreach. The brave determination of people, in democracies around the world who are publicly defending civil liberties–freedom of thought, speech, conscience and assembly–and the human right to informed consent to medical risk taking, demonstrates that the spirit of freedom lives in the hearts and minds of people everywhere. Both those who gather in the public squares of cities big and small and those who are watching are inspired by this commitment to defending liberty.
In the United States, no large demonstrations have been held yet, but polls reveal the nation is sharply divided about COVID-19 vaccine mandates. A Politico/Harvard poll taken in late June 2021 found that Americans were evenly split on whether children should be required to get the COVID-19 vaccine to go to school and more than half of employed Americans are against COVID-19 vaccine requirements for holding a job[Daily Stirrer] ...

Thousands of Italians join protests against “Super Green Pass” COVID-19 vaccine passport and mandate
(Natural News) Thousands of Italians have taken to the streets of the country’s largest cities to protest against plans to create a “Super Green Pass” and the newest Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine mandate.
Protests were held in the streets of Rome and in many other cities to demonstrate against the recent tightening of “Green Pass” requirements. The pass is the country’s version of the vaccine passport, and it is what Italians need to present to be allowed to participate in certain activities including religious ceremonies, travel, dining and shopping.
According to the new restrictions, starting Feb. 15, all public and private workers in Italy have to present the Super Green Pass before they can be granted access to their own workplaces. (Related: Italy imposes more covid fascism on citizens, says they must get vaccinated to work and enjoy public life.)
The Super Green Pass is a “reinforced” version of the “basic” Green Pass. It can only be obtained by people who are fully vaccinated or have recently recovered from COVID-19 infection.
The Super Green Pass regulation applies to both Italian citizens and foreign residents.
People in Italy who want to ride any form of public transportation must now present a Super Green Pass. Commuters are also obliged to wear face masks.
The pass is now also required for people who want to enter cinemas, theaters, stadiums, hotels, ski lifts, museums, gyms, public swimming pools, theme parks and wedding receptions.
