Experts have shed new light on a variant of COVID-19 discovered in a nursing home in Kentucky, which has infected at least 45 residents and health care staff. The strain has five mutations seen in other variants, plus many unique ones.
Many residents of the Kentucky nursing home were fully vaccinated, but the evolved virus was able to circumvent their anti-body protection.
An investigation by the Kentucky Department of Public Health revealed an unvaccinated, infected staff member initiated the outbreak in early March, resulting in the wave of infections.
An article published on Forbes written by William A. Haseltine, a former Harvard Medical School professor, reported that the new variant—named R.1—was first found in Japan. It has infected more than 10,000 people globally, according to GISAID SARS-CoV-2 database.
Haseltine warned that the new variant has additional mutations that could give it an advantage in transmission, replication and immune suppression.

If the virus infected vaccinated people, why do they even try to lie and say they know it came from an unvaccinated deplorable?

Yes, but this is a much more dangerous version of the flu, where any death could be a Covid death.
