    Premier Omicron science

    Viral replication is reduced in the lung tissue, but increased in the bronchi. This could indicate increased transmissibility but reduced pathogenicity.

Omicron infects and multiplies 70 times faster than the Delta in human bronchus, which may explain why Omicron may transmit faster Omicron infection in the lung is significantly lower than the original SARS-CoV-2, which may be an indicator of lower disease severity. This research is currently under peer review for publication. Pioneered the use of ex vivo cultures of the respiratory tract, for investigating many emerging virus infections since 2007 Lung tissue removed for treatment of the lung Dr Chan and his team successfully isolated the Omicron SARS-CoV-2, and used this experimental to compare infection with the original and Delta variants 24 hours after infection Omicron variant replicated around 70 times higher than the Delta variant and the original SARS-CoV-2 virus. In contrast, the Omicron variant replicated less efficiently (more than 10 times lower) in the human lung tissue than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus, which may suggest lower severity of disease. Dr Chan It is important to note that the severity of disease in humans is not determined only by virus replication but also by the host immune response to the infection, which may lead to dysregulation of the innate immune system, i.e. “cytokine storm” It is also noted that, by infecting many more people, a very infectious virus may cause more severe disease and death even though the virus itself may be less pathogenic. Therefore, taken together with our recent studies showing that the Omicron variant can partially escape immunity from vaccines and past infection, the overall threat from Omicron variant is likely to be very significant. Koch's postulates The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease but should not be found in healthy organisms. The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture. The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism. The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent. Learn more about your ad choices.

    UK Omicron emergency confirmed

    Omicron emergency https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59631570 No one should be in any doubt, there is a tidal wave of Omicron coming It is now clear that two doses of vaccine are simply not enough to give the level of protection we all need. But the good news is that our scientists are confident that with a third dose, a booster dose, we can all bring our level of protection back up At this point our scientists cannot say that Omicron is less severe a wave of Omicron through a population that was not boosted would risk a level of hospitalisation that could overwhelm our NHS and lead sadly to very many deaths Aged 18 and over, in England, third jabs from this week Three months since second dose A third booster dose prevents around 75% of people getting any Covid symptoms from Omicron Live data, hospital patients who have tested positive https://www.nicd.ac.za/diseases-a-z-index/disease-index-covid-19/surveillance-reports/daily-hospital-surveillance-datcov-report/ Omicron cases have now been found in hospital Nadhim Zahawi Warned of the danger of tens of thousands of hospitalisations, even if omicron were to prove half as severe as delta SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation in England Technical briefing 31 https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1040076/Technical_Briefing_31.pdf Data cut off, 6 December 260 confirmed cases of Omicron VOC-21NOV-01 (B.1.1.529), Identified through sequencing or genotyping in England.

    Big pharma and covid vaccines, Illusion of knowledge,

    With Dr. Aseem Malhotra, Links to article https://covid19.onedaymd.com/2025/07/aseem-malhotra-harm-caused-by-covid.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/13/aseem-malhotra-interview/ https://doctoraseem.com/its-time-for-the-medical-establishment-to-admit-they-made-a-terrible-mistake/ Uploaded 19-07-25 Ancient wisdom teaches us that evil is rooted in ignorance but as Steven Hawking alluded to, the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge. In other words the greatest barrier to the truth is psychological, not intellectual. Two of those major psychological barriers have become most prevalent at an individual, population and institutional level over the past 5 years since the world was turned upside down at the start of the covid pandemic. The first of these which we can all relate to is the emotional phenomenon of fear. Then in a state of fear it impedes one’s ability to engage in critical thinking and simultaneously makes us more compliant to authoritarian rule. For example leaked WhatsApp messages (published on the front page of the Daily Telegraph) revealed as regards to covid the Secretary of State’s plan was to “ frighten the pants off the public”. Such tactics replicated by government bodies around the world amplified by the media grossly exaggerated covid risk in the minds of the public. For example 30-50% of American’s when surveyed believed their risk of being hospitalised with covid was 50%, when the actual risk was much below 1% even during the worst strain. Cutting through all the noise research from the most cited medical researcher in the world ( someone I describe as the Stephen Hawking of medicine) Professor John Ioannidis revealed that by the end of 2020 in under 70’s the infection fatality rate was 0.05%, in other words 1 in 2000, less than the overall infection fatality rate than the flu at 1 in 1000. As the director of health literacy at the Max Planc institute in Berlin, Gerd Gigerenzer has previously stated “ without understanding the numbers involved the public are vulnerable to exploitation of their hopes and fears by political and commercial interests”. The second psychological barrier to the truth which we are all potentially susceptible to is one of wilful blindness. This is when human beings turn a blind eye to the truth in order to feel safe, avoid conflict, reduce anxiety and to protect prestige and fragile egos. Examples of this on an individual level can be turning a blind eye to the affair of your partner. On an institutional level historical examples include the BBC and Jimmy Saville, Hollywood and Harvey Weinstein, and the Catholic Church and child molestation. Why do I mention this? Because it is in my view these psychological barriers ( which I also temporarily suffered from) that are hindering policy makers, journalists and influential sections of the medical establishment to acknowledge the greatest medical mistake with ongoing catastrophic harm to public health that we will likely witness in our lifetime. Yes, I’m talking about the covid mRNA vaccine which in reality is more accurately a prophylactic gene therapy. As someone who took two doses and supported its use for high risk and the elderly on Good Morning Britain in February 2021 my revelation came the hard way. On the 26th of July 2021, my father, Dr Kailash Chand Malhotra OBE, retired GP and honorary vice president of the British Medical Association, a very fit and healthy man in comparison to his 73 year old peers suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. Subsequent post mortem confirmed severe coronary artery disease that had significantly accelerated within a few years of having relatively mild disease. As an expert in coronary artery disease and its progression, this didn’t make any sense to me and I even remember angrily blocking someone on twitter who suggested this was because Learn more about your ad choices.

Accepting or rejecting the authenticity of the Shroud is to many an issue of Christian or anti-Christian conviction. This is especially true for anti-Christians - if the Shroud is a fake it doesn't really affect the pro-Christian side, but if it is authentic then it is dramatic evidence in favor of it. So the Shroud of Turin is the most highly and intensively studied artifact in the history of the world. "Somewhere between 100,000 and 150,000 scientific man-hours have been spent on it, with the best analytical tools available” according to one source. 2. Please note that this is not about "proof" in the scientific sense because it is not possible to prove anything historical. For example, we can't prove that Julius Caesar lived, so likewise we can't prove that the Shroud was the burial cloth of Christ. What we can do is examine the evidence that supports or challenges that assertion. Regardless of conviction, those who seriously seek to study the Shroud should approach it with an open mind and suspend their religious persuasions as they examine the evidence, both pro and con. 3. Regardless of our convictions, it is right that we should question the Shroud and approach it with skepticism because the history of religious artifacts is filled with fraudulent attempts to make money at the expense of naïve worshippers. Many fake shrouds have been produced, and in 1902 a researcher claimed that there were forty-two medieval shrouds of Christ around Europe. However, they were not intended to deceive anyone - most were either simply pieces of cloth or artistic copies, and some of these “shrouds” still exist. Scientific challenges 1. There have been many attempts to debunk the Shroud, and perhaps the main one is in regard to dating. The Carbon 14 dating in 1988 indicated that the cloth was medieval (1260 to 1390 AD). However, it was later discovered that the pieces used for testing contained rewoven fibers that had been used to repair the cloth, so the C14 dating was discredited. A new non-destructive method of dating ancient textiles known as WAXS (wide-angle x- ray scattering) has been developed which operates by detecting the degree of structural degradation of threads from a cloth. Using that method a thread from the Shroud was dated to the same period as a line fragment from the siege of Masada (55-74 AD), so it places the Shroud in the era of Christ's death and resurrection, ca. 33 AD. No other grave cloth in history has ever had an image on it like the Shroud. Other scientific challenges have claimed that the Shroud was: 2. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this video I wrongly say the scabies mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) are insects, they are not and are correctly classified as Arachnida. This is because the adult mites have 8 legs, so are in the same group as spiders. Insects of course have 6 legs. They are 0.2 to 0.45 mm in size, not 10 times bigger as I said, always important to put the decimal point in the correct place. I hope to resume normal service in the next video.

    This excellent scientific analysis of recent events continues in interview two of this series. Follow Dr. Craig on SubStack, https://drclarecraig.substack.com COVID, the untold story. So much more makes sense after this book and my first illuminating discussion with Dr. Craig. Get your copy in the UK here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Expired-untold-Dr-Clare-Craig/dp/1739344707 Uploaded 26-12-23 For friends in the US get your copy here, https://www.amazon.com/Expired-untold-Dr-Clare-Craig/dp/1739344707 Have you ever felt the covid story did not entirely add up? Expired contains multiple eye-opening revelations about covid with compelling evidence that provides a coherent, sober and clear explanation that better fits the data we have so far. Meticulous research by pathologist Dr Clare Craig sheds light on the largely overlooked evidence of airborne virus transmission, examining twelve related beliefs on spread, lockdowns, asymptomatic infections, and masks. In addition, Expired champions the importance of Western ethical principles, damaged by pandemic actions and calls for their restoration. The covid debate has proved incredibly polarising. One side believed every intervention was saving lives, while the other emphasised the harms caused. Biased modelling based on a worst-case scenario led to fearful assumptions presented as fact. By dint of sheer repetition these ‘facts’ became unquestionable. Those scientists who dared to question were proclaimed dangerous. Welcome to Cloud-Covid-Land. Let’s bring back nuance. It’s time to return to reality." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
