The US Centers for Disease Control’s miscalculation or lie about the prevalence of omicrons
As of December 25, the Omicron strain accounted for about 59 percent of all coronary heart disease in the United States, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of December 18, Omicron corona accounted for 73% of all coronary heart disease cases in the country, but the center now estimates that Omicron strain accounts for the total number of new cases of coronary heart disease in the United States. It has decreased by 22.5 percent but has not provided any explanation on this issue.
The omicron strain is highly contagious and is spreading rapidly in the United States. With the spread of the omicron strain in the United States, the incidence of this strain has increased, even among vaccinated individuals.
However, experts say that people who have been vaccinated, and especially those who have received the third corona vaccine, are well protected from severe illnesses caused by this strain. But the omicron strain is very dangerous for unvaccinated people.
According to US media reports, new estimates from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention mean that although most new infections are related to the omicron strain, about 41% of new coronary heart disease cases in the United States are delta-related.
Scott Gottlieb, a former senior FDA official, wrote on Twitter: However, a significant proportion of current coronary hospitalizations are still due to the delta strain.
This strain has some ability to escape the immunity created by vaccines, and can lead to more infections, especially among people who have not received the third dose of their corona vaccine. .
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States currently registers an average of more than 206,000 new cases of coronary heart disease daily, and that number continues to rise.
According to reports, US President Joe Biden has also ordered the lifting of travel restrictions imposed on eight African countries due to the outbreak of the coronavirus’s Omicron virus, saying the measures are no longer necessary.
White House spokesman Kevin Mundoz has previously announced that he will lift temporary travel restrictions imposed by the Omicron Corona virus on eight African countries on December 31 on the recommendation of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. شد.
On November 29, the United States banned almost all non-US citizens from traveling to South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Swatini, Mozambique and Malawi.
Biden government officials had defended the decision. U.S. officials have argued that the move would take time to prepare for the Omicron strain before it enters the United States, but the strain quickly entered the United States and has set new records in recent weeks for coronary heart disease in the United States.
“The important thing is that scientific experts have determined that people who have been vaccinated are safe from severe Omicron-type illness and hospitalization,” he said. In addition, the strain has now spread to more than 100 countries and is common in the United States.
The US president also noted that international travelers must take the corona test and submit a negative corona test result within 48 hours of attending a flight to the United States.
Coinciding with the widespread outbreak of the coronavirus in the United States during the Christmas and New Year holidays, the White House announced it would seek the help of 1,000 U.S. military health personnel to help overcrowded hospitals.
Thousands of flights were canceled and many Americans canceled their holiday plans amid the influx of American Airlines staff and crew.
The White House has announced that new Biden test kits and the Internet portal that Americans can order will not be available until next month.
Earlier, Anthony Fauci, a senior medical adviser to US President Joe Biden, warned that a new wave of coronavirus outbreaks was spreading across the country, with 150,000 people being infected with omicron daily.
On November 26, the World Health Organization declared the omicron strain the fifth most troubling type of coronavirus. The new strain, first identified in South Africa, has caused concern in many countries and has now been identified in more than 100 countries.
Research has shown that the omicron strain is more contagious than previous strains of the corona virus, but is less dangerous for those who have been vaccinated and received their third corona vaccine.
