Some uncertainty about the Omicron flu that now seems to have a higher death rate

I'll leave the vaccination BS out of this post as my wife will be taking the 3rd gene therapy shot this March.

Here is what is happening in Japan and are real figures. PERIOD

2-16 230 deaths + 68 more
2-17 269 deaths + 105 more
2-18 211 deaths + 61 more
2-19 219 deaths + 74 more
2-20 158 deaths + 19 more
2-21 173 deaths + 25 more
2-22 319 deaths + 83 more ( seems that the whatever it is now here is taking from 0 lives just a few weeks ago to this )

Maybe this doesn't seem like much to other countries, but this whatever it is now is starting to KILL MORE PEOPLE
I don't have the break down on age group of this.
Maybe someone can come along help out here.

as always, thanks for reading my post

Newly confirmed cases are actually slowing down in Japan. Deaths generally lag behind the new cases.

Here are some links about the 319 deaths. They didn't say anything about the demographics or vaccination status.

thanks for your post

today is a holiday here and people are all on about their mall shopping

for me I've never worried about this stuff, but the wife is my concern so I never speak about whether should or should not take whatever is being shot on their shoulder . Their body.
Here where I live, we have seen infections grow, deaths not so much, but positive infections. I think because now employers are requiring more weekly test.

either way, I hope we all will have a bright future once this crap dies down

Its not "gene therapy" so there is that.

Might be best to leave that out of it.

If its veracity you are after rather than hyperbole.

I generally just keep up with what is going on in Iwaki, Fukushima and Tokyo. I forget where you are at. I was just talking about this with our nephew in Tokyo, so I had the links already.

You say its not .. The inventor of the technology says it is..

hmmm Who to believe

Good luck with your ""alternative facts"" all the same.

Down to Iwakuni . Military here have been accused of spreading the virus which in Yamaguchi ken has been relatively low until last month.

Our death rate here is a bit high but not as high in Okinawa.

I don't doubt this at all but in order to understand any date you bring up at least a link will help.
Ya know I like ya man and just trying to help ya get the best information out.

Malone did not invent the technology. He played a small role in its evolution and is basically bitter because he was never able to profit from his "discovery".

In 1978, scientists had first used liposomes to transport mRNA into mouse and human cells to induce protein expression and their work was built from research that started in the 60s. The core methods used today were developed in 1984. Malone came along in 1987 and used a new kind of liposome in his experiments with mRNA. However, that new kind of liposome was actually invented by someone else. A short time after that, Malone left mRNA research, became a medical doctor, and went on to research DNA vaccines. In the 1990s and early 2000s, other scientists continued the research with mRNA, but mRNA was still too fragile and expensive for practical use. In the late 2000s, a new liposome was discovered which prevented the degradation of the mRNA and better delivered it to cells. In 2012, DARPA funded research which ultimately led to the mRNA vaccines they are giving out today.

Omicron is less deadly than other strains but it's so much better at spreading so it still causes more deaths because it infects so many people.

They call it that

Findings from Moderna and Pfizer demonstrate that gene therapy is a viable strategy for developing vaccines to combat COVID-19.

Ya know I like ya man and just trying to help ya get the best information out.

I understand where you are coming from since generally speaking I don't post BS ( at least I don't try too, but my deleted post may say otherwise ) , you see I get the info off of our daily TV programs and if I'm lucky some of it is on the net that I can find. But really most of it comes from our new from 9am to 11 am morning news. Its all to the point. Even my post that said China to Japan to fk it when it comes to defending taiwan. Of course the words were more diplomatic, but you get the point.

Calling the vaccine 'gene therapy' is like holding a sign with big bold letters saying 'I'm Ignorant'. With that out of the way numbers are going down and I see almost no seriously ill covid patients where I work. So I'm not buying into any fearmongering.

I only know that I had the china virus back in March of 2020 and I didn't give it to my wife or her students in her class.l

I don't know fear, I was attack by two wild boars in the forest 2 days ago. I climb a tree 2 feet high till they attacked my boots which I was able to grab the next limb but it broke and I fell back to the 2nd branch and struggled to another top limb . Fear, yes, I know fear from 2 hogs trying to wipe me off this face of the Earth because I was in there territory.
