Except when the NIH finances the Wuhan Bioweapons lab to build one.....

Riddle me this:

If COVID can be carried and transmitted by animals like dogs, cats, deer, etc, then how is a person being vaccinated eliminating viral mutations? Do we not get mutations in the animal population just as easily as the human population?

Why aren't people asking these simple, logical questions? Why are they pushing this vaccine so fricking hard?

Just get the jab! It'll protect you from regular Covid!
I mean...

The U.S. saw its peak of mu variant cases in mid-July but case numbers involving that variant have been declining since, signaling either a weakening of the strain or indicating a worrisome future.

What happened to the Epsilon to Mu variants? Are they not important? Do their feelings and ramifications not count?

This shite is never ending.

It doesn't matter. They can't tell you which strain you tested positive for.

Correction: This is why covid19 vaccines should be outlawed. The vaccines set the stage for this shite, not the other way around.

Whichever one is the "hot" strand, it is just assumed that is the one you have. When you do the PCR test, they test for the base protein that they all have regardless of what variant. It doesn't differentiate variants. You'd have to take every sample and examine them in laboratory settings and hospitals don't have the time nor manpower to do this.

Unless the alpha strain was created in a lab and designed to gain virulence

Christ, have they even found a test for Delta yet?

CBC fricked things up so badly with the tests that I’m wondering if they intentionally did it to make Covid seem more widespread than it was.

It might be more transmissible but is it more deadly?

I don't know but in my area covid has been non existent until the past few weeks. Its killed 10 people that I know. Most were older folks in their 80s but 3 were from 45 to 56....... I got the sads!..... Pisses me off that we ain't bringing China and gain of function to their knees! This is germ warfare IMO
