[00:00.960 --> 00:08.400]  On October 27, 2021, I put out a presentation in which I discussed that media and public health
[00:08.400 --> 00:16.320]  experts have been saying that SARS-CoV-2 was going to at that time become endemic. And that didn't
[00:16.320 --> 00:22.960]  happen. As I'm recording this in the third week of January, government and media chatter about
[00:22.960 --> 00:44.400]  SARS-CoV-2 becoming endemic has started anew. Before I get rolling, I want to let you know
[00:44.400 --> 00:51.040]  that I'm going to put the link to that October 27, 2021 presentation down in the notes. In the
[00:51.040 --> 00:57.360]  October 27th video, I went in-depth on what being endemic means. And I'm not going to do that again
[00:57.360 --> 01:02.640]  today. I'm simply going to say that the key phrase from the various medical definitions of endemic
[01:02.640 --> 01:10.640]  is that there is a relatively constant rate of occurrence. That is one of the key factors that
[01:10.640 --> 01:16.960]  identifies something that has become endemic. When all the endemic chatter was occurring back
[01:16.960 --> 01:22.240]  in October of 2021, the United States had just come out of the Delta wave and Europe was just
[01:22.240 --> 01:31.520]  going into a fresh wave, which presumably was the very first cases of the then not yet identified
[01:31.520 --> 01:37.440]  Omicron. Another key point I made in that presentation was that nobody can tell you,
[01:37.440 --> 01:44.000]  tell the world, that a particular contagion is going to become endemic. Unless somebody has a
[01:44.000 --> 01:50.640]  crystal ball, they cannot tell you that with any factual foundation. They can hope, they can wish,
[01:50.640 --> 01:56.560]  they can hypothesize, but they cannot tell you that next month or the month after or the month
[01:56.560 --> 02:03.680]  after a contagion is going to become endemic. That is scientifically impossible. So we go back to
[02:03.680 --> 02:09.520]  October and we look at what the government and the media and the experts were saying that SARS-CoV-2
[02:09.520 --> 02:15.600]  was going to become endemic shortly. I mean, they were saying like, okay, we're there. And so did we
[02:15.600 --> 02:27.600]  then see a relatively constant rate of occurrence? No. We saw exactly the opposite. We saw new daily
[02:27.600 --> 02:34.560]  infections explode across the globe because of Omicron. And again, this buttresses what I was
[02:34.560 --> 02:39.600]  telling you, that nobody can tell you that next month or the month after or so forth that a
[02:39.600 --> 02:43.840]  contagion is going to be endemic. This was a perfect example. There was all the chatter about
[02:43.840 --> 02:50.800]  endemic and then exactly the opposite happened, which oddly has happened time and time and time
[02:50.800 --> 02:57.360]  and time again in terms of what the experts have told us. So understanding all of that
[02:58.000 --> 03:04.640]  is the mid-January 2022 endemic chatter any more likely to be true?
[03:05.600 --> 03:11.600]  Actually, yes, though it's still just a hypothesis. It's still just an estimate.
[03:11.600 --> 03:17.840]  The reason that it is a lot more likely to be factual this time around is because it is
[03:17.840 --> 03:25.520]  incredibly unlikely from a statistical perspective that any mutation of Omicron would end up being
[03:26.160 --> 03:30.960]  any more highly transmissible than Omicron is. I'm just going to give you an example.
[03:30.960 --> 03:38.400]  If you got on a scale of 1 to 100 and say Omicron as far as transmissibility is, is a 92 on a scale
[03:38.400 --> 03:44.960]  of 1 to 100, what are the odds that the next mutation is going to make that a 93 or 95 or 98?
[03:45.760 --> 03:52.880]  Very small. Statistically speaking, the odds are that any mutation would actually be less
[03:52.880 --> 03:57.360]  transmissible. In other words, claiming that we are now at the point where SARS-CoV-2 may
[03:57.360 --> 04:03.520]  become endemic is based on the fact that Omicron's transmission rate is so super high that essentially
[04:03.520 --> 04:09.680]  the only place to go from there is down. So what changes are we going to see if it's true
[04:09.680 --> 04:16.720]  that SARS-CoV-2, especially now with the Omicron variant, is indeed going to be endemic? That's a
[04:16.720 --> 04:24.720]  bit hard to say because many governments and corporations, they are probably going to lag
[04:24.720 --> 04:32.080]  significantly in evolving from their pandemic protocols to their endemic protocols. In other
[04:32.080 --> 04:37.360]  words, they're going to cling for some time to the old model rather than moving forward into what
[04:37.360 --> 04:42.640]  is appropriate in the endemic phase. When we consider changing protocols to something more
[04:42.640 --> 04:47.440]  appropriate for endemic, we also have to keep in mind that the top five symptoms of Omicron are
[04:47.440 --> 04:52.720]  symptoms of the common cold. So that begs the question, why would you have protocols that are
[04:52.720 --> 04:59.760]  anything different than might exist for the common cold for a virus, the symptoms of which, if
[04:59.760 --> 05:06.240]  somebody is symptomatic at all, the symptoms of which are the common cold? That said, we do have
[05:06.240 --> 05:15.520]  some hints at what is coming. First, it appears that PCR testing is going to be greatly de-emphasized.
[05:15.520 --> 05:21.760]  We're not going to see anywhere near the amount of PCR testing. And so this new narrative under the
[05:21.760 --> 05:27.920]  idea of Omicron and it being endemic is that the raw number of how many people came out positive
[05:27.920 --> 05:33.920]  in any given day is not useful. And instead, now the dialogue, the narrative is that public health
[05:33.920 --> 05:39.840]  officials want to focus on more meaningful data such as hospitalizations and deaths.
[05:40.480 --> 05:48.400]  Here's a quote from the Wall Street Journal. One way to bring the case count down is by testing
[05:48.960 --> 05:55.040]  fewer people. Can you imagine hearing that from publications such as the Wall Street Journal a
[05:55.040 --> 06:00.800]  year ago? And here's Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who is Florida's Surgeon General, quote,
[06:01.760 --> 06:08.480]  historically in public health for respiratory viruses in the general population, we consider
[06:09.120 --> 06:16.880]  cases to be people who have symptoms, not a PCR test. But during the pandemic, you can have a
[06:16.880 --> 06:24.000]  positive PCR test, be completely healthy, but be considered a case, that's in quotes a case,
[06:24.000 --> 06:31.600]  and be required to behave like a case, which is isolation and those types of things, close quote.
[06:32.160 --> 06:37.040]  To be clear, with the exception of people like Joseph Ladapo, who has been a shining light of
[06:37.040 --> 06:43.040]  logic and reason in all of this, with the exception of people like him, this is a whole new narrative
[06:43.040 --> 06:47.520]  for the establishment. And it's the narrative that should have existed beginning in something
[06:47.520 --> 06:54.240]  like March or April of 2020. But hey, almost two years late is better than never, right?
[06:55.360 --> 07:03.600]  Because experts, Janet Hamilton, who is the Executive Director of the Council of State
[07:03.600 --> 07:08.480]  and Territorial Epidemiologists, recently said that because of PCR testing shortages,
[07:09.200 --> 07:15.440]  the prevalence now of home testing, and the high percentage of infections that are asymptomatic,
[07:15.440 --> 07:23.360]  the daily case count is, and I'm quoting her here, vastly under-reported. And those are the
[07:23.360 --> 07:32.640]  very reasons for which I shared my view a week or so ago, that the CDC's long-time metric of how
[07:32.640 --> 07:39.120]  to estimate actual infections from identified infections is no longer valid. It's way out of
[07:39.120 --> 07:44.400]  date. And where they were using a 1 to 4 ratio, that more realistically now we should be looking
[07:44.400 --> 07:49.440]  at something like a 1 to 9 ratio. One of the most interesting things that's suddenly taken
[07:49.440 --> 07:55.840]  place in this time of the establishment adopting and admitting to the very things that people
[07:55.840 --> 08:00.160]  like me have been saying for at least a year and a half, one of the most amusing ones is now that
[08:00.160 --> 08:06.560]  the CDC has come out and said that cloth masks do virtually nothing. And of course, all intelligent
[08:06.560 --> 08:12.000]  people knew that from day one. I went back and looked at the research on masks and viral
[08:12.000 --> 08:18.480]  contagions starting from 1920 forward, and I shared in a number of my presentations that
[08:19.040 --> 08:28.720]  there for a hundred years, there was absolutely zero evidence, there was no studies that concluded
[08:28.720 --> 08:35.440]  that wearing masks in a contagious outbreak halts or slows the spread of a virus. Zero.
[08:36.000 --> 08:41.200]  Then of course, I was roundly castigated by the mask crowd for that. So I wonder, people who've
[08:41.200 --> 08:49.680]  been screaming for almost two years now, that people like me who said these masks don't work
[08:49.680 --> 08:56.080]  were horrible people who wanted to kill grandma. I wonder how they feel now the CDC has come out
[08:56.080 --> 09:00.880]  and said I was right all along. I'm guessing since they didn't give a shit about the truth then,
[09:00.880 --> 09:05.360]  they don't give a shit about the truth now. Well, we've been discussing it on this channel for a
[09:05.360 --> 09:11.760]  very, very, very long time, almost the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. Public health officials
[09:12.480 --> 09:20.480]  are finally talking about the distinction between people who've died with COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2,
[09:20.480 --> 09:27.280]  more accurately. Shockingly, both Fauci and Walensky have commented on that distinction in
[09:27.280 --> 09:34.160]  about the last 10 days. And up until this new establishment narrative shift, you were not
[09:34.160 --> 09:40.400]  hearing anything like that from them. I was surprised to see that New York Governor Hochul
[09:40.400 --> 09:45.760]  has actually instructed the New York State Health Department to start distinguishing between
[09:45.760 --> 09:54.640]  hospital deaths with COVID-19 versus from COVID-19. In terms of overall hospitalizations,
[09:55.360 --> 10:01.280]  even before Omicron, studies showed that approximately half the people who were shown to
[10:01.280 --> 10:09.040]  be in the hospital associated with SARS-CoV-2 were there for other reasons and just tested
[10:09.040 --> 10:14.560]  positive upon admission. And of course, now with Omicron raging the way it does with being super
[10:14.560 --> 10:21.200]  transmissible, that number is going to climb substantially. Epidemiologist Ellie Klein with
[10:21.200 --> 10:27.760]  John Hopkins wonders whether we should still segregate people in hospitals because they test
[10:27.760 --> 10:35.680]  positive for SARS-CoV-2. Quote, do we quarantine them? Maybe we stop doing that. We don't
[10:35.680 --> 10:42.560]  quarantine people who have the flu. Close quote. With PCR testing being de-emphasized, the emphasis
[10:42.560 --> 10:47.200]  now is going to be on rapid antigen tests, outside the United States more commonly called as lateral
[10:47.200 --> 10:54.160]  flow tests, that can be done at home. Mara Aspilla, if I'm pronouncing that correctly,
[10:54.160 --> 11:00.960]  a professor of biomedical diagnostics at Arizona State University estimates that since Omicron hit
[11:00.960 --> 11:07.280]  in the United States, since December, Americans have been using an average of 4 million home
[11:07.280 --> 11:14.080]  test kits per day. And anticipating that will rise to 5 million a day as corporations begin
[11:14.080 --> 11:20.240]  disseminating rapid antigen tests to their workers so that when they get those cold symptoms, they
[11:20.240 --> 11:25.120]  know when they can come back to work. Many people presume that those numbers are only
[11:25.120 --> 11:30.000]  going to grow. I'm going to guess, I'm going to share with you that I believe those numbers
[11:30.000 --> 11:36.400]  are going to plunge. Here's the reason. In places like South Africa and the UK that were ahead of
[11:36.400 --> 11:42.560]  the United States in Omicron cases taking off, what they found is that there was this dramatic
[11:42.560 --> 11:49.760]  increase for about eight weeks. And then when you look at a graph, it was literally an inversion.
[11:49.760 --> 11:55.440]  New daily infections were going up nearly vertically. And then all of a sudden on a given
[11:55.440 --> 12:01.600]  day, there was an inversion and they started dropping also in a near vertical line. In other
[12:01.600 --> 12:06.080]  words, if here in the United States we have the same experience as other nations that are ahead
[12:06.080 --> 12:13.040]  of us in the Omicron curve, then while government is ostensibly ramping up for this horrible thing,
[12:13.600 --> 12:19.040]  we're going to suddenly hear in the next three, four weeks, see cases begin to plunge. And of
[12:19.040 --> 12:23.520]  course, when that happens, there'll be a lot less call for the rapid antigen tests.
[12:24.400 --> 12:32.320]  Vaccines will continue to be pushed furiously by the usual suspects, despite things like
[12:32.320 --> 12:38.640]  data just coming out of Israel in the last couple of days, where they say a fourth injection
[12:38.640 --> 12:43.440]  provides very little protection against Omicron. If you've been following me for
[12:44.400 --> 12:48.880]  the last several months, maybe a year, that won't surprise you in the least.
[12:49.600 --> 12:55.120]  Of course, the desire for certain public health officials in the media to whip up as much fear
[12:55.120 --> 13:03.520]  as humanly possible, that hasn't really changed. So now the media is reporting that various experts,
[13:03.520 --> 13:10.320]  that word really doesn't mean a lot concerning SARS-CoV-2 in January of 2022, in my opinion.
[13:10.320 --> 13:16.880]  Nevertheless, experts are saying, well, hang on, keep the fear in place, keep all the restrictions
[13:16.880 --> 13:24.560]  in place, because tomorrow there could be another variant. It could be as transmissible as Omicron,
[13:25.280 --> 13:33.520]  but it could be a lot more virulent. And that's true. It could happen. Statistically,
[13:33.520 --> 13:38.240]  it's incredibly unlikely, but it could. I always love stuff like that, may, might,
[13:38.240 --> 13:45.200]  could. But not only is it incredibly statistically unlikely, but entire nations should not live their
[13:45.200 --> 13:52.480]  life. And government policies should not be set on what might happen, what could happen,
[13:53.040 --> 13:58.160]  that almost certainly will not happen. I hope you value these fact-based informative
[13:58.160 --> 14:03.600]  presentations. And if you do, I want to tell you how you can ensure that I remain here providing
[14:03.600 --> 14:09.440]  this kind of information to you. I want to ask you to go to DrReality.News. Grab yourself a copy
[14:09.440 --> 14:15.600]  of Body Science, Income Tax, Shattering the Myths, or both. In doing so, you support me so I can
[14:15.600 --> 14:20.080]  continue to be here at no charge to anybody for all of this informative information that I've been
[14:20.080 --> 14:28.080]  putting out for years, and in terms of SARS-CoV-2, since day one. And I might add that the information
[14:28.080 --> 14:36.000]  I've provided you was, over that time, dramatically more accurate than what the experts
[14:36.000 --> 14:41.440]  had been telling you. Not only will that assist me in continuing to be here for you,
[14:42.160 --> 14:50.400]  but you will read two of the most fascinating books you have ever read in your life. You have
