re: New Covid variant 'worse than' Delta is 'spreading rapidly' in South Africa

Yeah they already got this new strain figured out. Lol
First detected in South Africa of all places. Why there? I'd actually think that new variants would likely be discovered in a country more like our own, where testing should be more readily available, and lines of communication to share the information more reliable. And lab testing more advanced and reliable. Maybe I'm just off with that thinking.
Of course first detection of the new strain here would probably be more scrutinized as well, so that presents problems for Fauci and them. Gotta keep that kinda thing vaguely over the horizon, just out of reach of skeptics.

Believe it or not, viruses do not get more dangerous when they mutate. A mutation is different, yes. But weaker. Anything else is panicked fear mongering.

I just got done reading Alina Chan and Matt Ridley’s book about the origins. It’s called Viral. It’s a thorough and honest account of the evidence for both zoonosis and research-related origin. Y’all should check it out. Ever since SARS1 in 2003 there has been a frenzy of research into and manipulation of bat viruses from Yunnan, China and Laos. They were taking spikes from one and putting them another. They were inserting cleavage sites. They were serially passaging them through animals with human airway cells. SARS1 itself leaked from Chinese labs at least 4 times in Beijing and a couple other times in other labs.

You made this up lol none of this is happening

As any lick of common sense also says. It has been said Biden is only proclaiming he will run in 2024 because he is already a failure and doesn't want the lame duck status outright.

Spreads faster but we still don't know if less harmful or not

Midterm Variant. Just call it what it is.

Which is kinda crazy because if you have the data to show people are catching it faster, it should also be possible to know how those same people who were found to have quickly spread it amongst themselves are being affected symptom-wise.

The MSM loves to bait their click hooks with fear porn and the dems want another excuse to make fraud easy.
Frick Joe Biden!

All of this fear porn is completely fabricated. So, these headlines are gross misstatements of the WHO release about this ‘new’ variant of concern. The actual release states that 4 fully vaccinated people were identified to have a mutated strain. These four people were tested/sequenced three days ago in South Africa. WHO (and the tyrants around the globe) said that they are GUESSING that it is more transmissible because they’ve sequenced it in South Africa, and the cases are trending up in South Africa. WHO took these two ‘facts’ and now conclude it is more transmissible. This is yet another massive overstatement of ‘covid science.’ Making the transmissibility guess is irresponsible and outright false. Something else is going on, as this is so lazy anyone can see through it...
