New Omicron variants in New Zealand

Thai Medical News is a publication that is not friendly to the orthodox version of events but provides evidence that seems to back up Geert vanden Bossche’s thesis.

We have the strange phenomenon in New Zealand of putting people into lockdown on the basis of cases and faulty PCR tests.

But now, we have a real situation with high numbers of vaccinated in hospital along with an uptick in deaths there is discussion of opening up the country – to tourists of course – I will be surprised if the mandates for the unvaxxed are relaxed.

There is, of course zero acknowledgement that the new variants are a result of Adern’s vaccination drive

Covid-19 Omicron outbreak: New variants could arrive into NZ quickly when borders open – experts

New Zealand will be a sitting duck for every major new variant that emerges in the future because it will no longer have a buffer when the borders reopen next month.

From mid-next month vaccinated Australians are allowed back into the country without isolating, just in time for the Easter and school holidays.

While fully vaccinated travellers from visa-waiver countries – which include 60 countries such as Canada and the US – will be able to enter the country from 11.59pm on May 1.

But Dr David Welch, a senior Lecturer at Auckland University’s Centre for Computational Evolution and School of Computer Science, said lifting border restrictions meant that any new major variants that arise around the world will enter New Zealand fairly quickly and the Government will no longer have the luxury of time to watch and prepare.

“We will need to increase and improve our local surveillance efforts, including genomic surveillance of variants are circulating in the community.”

Welch said New Zealand’s genomic surveillance was struggling to cope under the high number of cases and as part of its ongoing response needed a gold-standard system to sequence most cases who were recent arrivals, most hospitalised cases, and a random sample of cases found in the community.

Covid-19 modeller professor Michael Plank agreed the Government needed a toolbox of sustainable measures to monitor the variants coming in.
