Loading ...Omicron is Not African…It’s European
From Jeff Childers
This next story is the second reason I think Biden and Fauci may have backed off Omicron earlier this week. CBS News reported yesterday that “Omicron COVID variant was in Europe before South African scientists detected and flagged it to the world.”
Uh-oh. CBS reported that older European samples contain Omicron and pre-date the samples from South Africa:
“Dutch health authorities announced on Tuesday that they found the new Omicron variant of the coronavirus in cases dating back as long as 11 days, indicating that it was already spreading in western Europe before the first cases were identified in southern Africa. The RIVM health institute said it found Omicron in samples dating from November 19 and 23. Those findings predate the positive cases found among passengers who came from South Africa last Friday and were tested at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport.
I know where the confusion comes from… Both his parents are African but he was born in Europe. However, he went to school in Thailand where his parent now live and he visits often. He however is now an American citizen and doing contract work in Slovenia which is part of Europe but outside the EU. You’d never guess any of this from his accent. I meet people like this all the time.
