Public-health experts are sounding the alarm about a new Omicron variant dubbed XBB that is rapidly spreading across the Northeast U.S., the Wall Street Journal reports. Some studies suggest it is as different from the original Covid strain from Wuhan as the 2003 SARS virus. Should Americans be worried?
It isn’t clear that XBB is any more lethal than other variants, but its mutations enable it to evade antibodies from prior infection and vaccines as well as existing monoclonal antibody treatments. Growing evidence also suggests that repeated vaccinations may make people more susceptible to XBB and could be fueling the virus’s rapid evolution.
Prior to Omicron’s emergence in November 2021, there were only four variants of concern: Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma. Only Alpha and Delta caused surges of infections globally. But Omicron has begotten numerous descendents, many of which have popped up in different regions of the world curiously bearing some of the same mutations.
“Such rapid and simultaneous emergence of multiple variants with enormous growth advantages is unprecedented,” a study in the journal Nature notes. Under selective evolutionary pressures, the virus appears to have developed mutations that enable it to transmit more easily and escape antibodies elicited by vaccines and prior infection.
The same study posits that immune imprinting may be contributing to the viral evolution. Vaccines do a good job of training the immune system to remember and knock out the original Wuhan variant. But when new and markedly different strains come along, the immune system responds less effectively. Read more: Wall Street Journal
That’s okay. Kirsten Gillabrand, Alejandro Mayorkas and Kamala Harris have begged the infected Chinese citizens to come here and flood the streets of the United States. If you disagree with their policy, you’re a racist.
To answer your title, Yes
Mostly sheker and propaganda, with some kefirah thrown in for good measure, though even they don’t deny that having gotten the shots makes one more susceptible, not less so.
The problem is that people are NOT getting vaccinated. If enough people had gotten vaccinated when the vaccines first came out there would not have been the opportunity for the viruses to mutate.
You mean, like in Canada?
What virus are you talking about? Why is it that no doctor can explain the “symptoms” of the covid “virus”? Could you? Had YOU gotten more booster, the “virus” worldwide wouldn’t have mutated.
It has been proven that the Covid vaccine isn’t all that it was hyped to be. Sorry Mr. Trump, but warped speed for all the good intention provided us with something not so good.
Are you saying you’re living in a cave that you’re not aware of the millions of vaxed who’ve died suddenly from the heart attacks and sudden cancer?
Secondly, how come you’re telling others to take the vax while you yourself haven’t? Are you from the elite that is exempt? How do we know you haven’t taken the real vax? Because you’re still alive.
Baloney and scary. The vaccines are murder
Viruses can’t mutate so quickly. Its only the Vax which is killing people
idiot,
Are we expecting to inject 9 billion people in one month, plus animals to stop the mutation? welcome to reality boy.
“Anthony Fauci told the government to tell people not to do autopsies on Covid-19 patients.” Wonder why?
French virologist and Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier called mass vaccination against the coronavirus during the pandemic “unthinkable” and a historical blunder that is “creating the variants” and leading to deaths from the disease, LifeSite News reported.
“It”s an enormous mistake, isn’t it? A scientific error as well as a medical error. It is an unacceptable mistake,” Montagnier said in an interview translated and published by the RAIR Foundation US.
The vaccines are causing “rubber-band” like blood clots which eventually kill the receiver of those shots.
