“They won’t shut me up”: the doctor who discovered Omicron was pressured NOT to say it was less dangerous!
This news, from a mainstream newspaper, should bring people to the streets. The doctor who discovered the Omicron strain of Covid-19, Angelique Coetzee, says she was pressured by European governments not to disclose that she had a mild presentation, according to an interview with German Welt .
Asked if this was true, Coetzee replied: “ I was told not to publicly state that it was a mild disease. I was asked to refrain from making such claims and to say that it was a serious illness. I refused “. .
“ What does this mean? Welt asks.
“ I am a clinician and based on the clinical picture there is no indication that we are dealing with a very serious disease. The course is mostly mild. That doesn't mean you won't get sick if it's mild .
" The definition of mild Covid-19 disease is clear, and it is a WHO definition: patients can be cared for at home and no oxygen or hospitalization is required ," he said, adding: " A serious disease is one in which we see acute lung infections: people need oxygen, perhaps even artificial respiration. We saw it with Delta, but not with Omicron . So I said: “ I can't say it's serious because that's not what we're looking at ”.
Asked if they tried to stop her from telling the truth, Coetzee said: " They tried, but they couldn't ."
“ What I said at one point , because I was simply tired of these pressures, was: in South Africa this is a mild disease, but in Europe it is very serious. This is what your politicians wanted to hear “.
Coetzee says she was not pressured by the South African authorities, but instead was criticized by scientists in the UK and the Netherlands, who said, “How can you say this is a mild disease? It is a serious disease. Look at the mutations ”.
So we have European governments and scientists pressuring a female scientist to falsify a scientific discovery, evidently for political purposes, all reported in a mainstream newspaper. I wonder what still needs to happen to make it clear how much covid-19 is now a non-medical issue, but of political repression . Of course, even after this interview, nothing will happen.
