'Variants' and ‘Strains’ are the new fearmongering tactic now that original Covid fear is subsiding
NOQ Report ^ | 04/09/2021 | Michio Hasai

Those who succumbed to the original fearmongering surrounding Covid-19 are starting to relax a bit. Whether it’s the various “vaccines,” thoughts of herd immunity, a realization that those under the age of 60 have very little to fear, or simply fatigue from a year of living in terror, we’re seeing people who were previously quite concerned starting to ease their tensions now. It’s not everyone; there are still plenty of Covid nannies and fearmongers out there. But many if not most feel better about their prospects in the “pandemic.”


You might not notice it as face-mask-shaming is still commonplace. But instead of people doing it out of fear, it’s now just habitual. Face masks have been normalized in American society like diapers on a baby. Habits aside, even the fearful are starting to get more confident that they’re not going to die within two weeks of being exposed to fresh air or a maskless scoundrel.

This displeases the globalists, Big Pharma, and Democrats. How can they implement The Great Reset if the fearful are waking up from their Covid-comas? The answer: “Strains.” We’re going to hear about “the deadliest new strain” any day now. We’ll hear about “the most virulent” at some point soon. And we’re already hearing about “the most contagious” strain. According to Just The News:



A highly infectious variant of COVID-19 is now the dominant strain of the virus in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The variant, B.1.1.7, began surging in the United Kingdom in December has since spread through Europe and to the United States, the federal agency said Wednesday.

“Based on our most recent estimates from CDC surveillance, the B.1.1.7 variant is now the most common lineage circulating in the United States,” agency Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said at the White House briefing.

Studies found the virus is 60 times more contagious than the current strain and 67 percent more deadly, according to the New York Times. In March, experts warned the variant would be the dominant strain by the end of the month. Now early into April, the CDC confirmed the hypothesis, according to CNN.

Medical company Helix found that 58.9 percent of all new tests of COVID-19 were the new B.1.1.7 strain. Trends from Felix show that California and Florida have the two highest rates in the U.S. with 533 and 445 cases, respectively.

The words “new strain” act for illnesses the same way “new and improved” acts for products. It sparks renewed interest, and in the case of Covid-19, new fears. But what they don’t mention in news reports is that new strains of diseases, particular RNA viruses like Covid-19, are expected. There are at least four known variants of the disease now and likely a dozen or more that have yet to be isolated and categorized. But the word “strain” invokes fear in those who have not done the research, which includes pretty much everyone other than doctors.

That’s the point. They want the fear to be acutely placed in our consciousness indefinitely.

While it’s possible that new strains can cause more damage to humans, generally speaking they are just variants within a theme. This is great news for Big Pharma who make billions off of new strains of influenza, for example. Every year, they have to come up with “new” ways to handle the strains which is wonderful for business. It’s a money-printing racket that can go on forever.

The biggest concern for some doctors, though most are unwilling to voice it for fear of being canceled, is that these so-called “vaccines” will react poorly to major mutations in Covid-19. This is why despite the fact that new strains are generally nothing more than fodder for fearmongers, there is a real concern this time around. It’s also why I can say on one hand there is nothing to fear from new strains and on the other hand there is a great deal to fear for those who have been or will be vaccinated.

As Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney reported during an interview on NOQ Report, doctors he has spoken to privately warn that the combination of new strains with the current vaccines in circulation could exacerbate the entire Covid problem. They speculate mutations could make the disease counteract the vaccines to the point that a vaccinated person will be more susceptible and in more danger when a major mutation takes place.

The buzz surrounding new strains is meant to perpetuate fear. But what Big Pharma and others won’t tell you is that there may come a scenario in which a new strain becomes especially dangerous to those who have taken the current Covid vaccines.

It’s all working. The people in this neck of the woods are, in general, terrified.

Keep the fear alive! We must do anything to keep the people afraid and blindly following the government’s diktat. (I’m being sarcastic at those who want to ‘keep the fear alive’)

Oh noz—if everybody does not get a vaccine the virus will mutate and then we will have to get different vaccines and lockdowns forever.

This is a variant of “Do what I say or I shoot this dog.”

You know things are out of control when the government and medical community suppress facts and promote disinformation.

And those who had the Fauci Flu and recovered will be just fine, because your body already knows the formula to wipe it out, and Natural Immunity will work on All variants because of their similarity, see NIH January Study

As predicted, the Colorado governor has announced that somehow, magically, the COVID problem will end before the summer, thus allowing the corrupt MLB All Stars game to be held in Denver Coors Stadium with full attendance and no masks.

Not kidding.

Of course, we all knew this, because the corruption and sleeze of DemocRATs is an established fact.

So, as for the “variants” scare, it’s as believable as a CNN ‘nuze’ cast. No wait, it IS a CNN ‘nuze’cast.

I was telling my wife last night the new “variants” narrative is just to keep the fear alive. It’s sad how many folks buy into it.

15+ months now. Our fearless leaders have proven they are incapable of stopping the disease. All they did has failed. Time to give up and stop ordering us around and leave us alone.

The idea of mutations and variants is based entirely on modeling by the same clown who said the US would have 5 million deaths. There is no evidence. https://summit.news/2020/12/21/scientists-mps-ask-where-is-evidence-of-70-more-contagious-mutant-covid/

And they still have not isolated, purified and cultured an actual virus.

It’s a fear mongering tactic because these strains don’t exist and will not harm you?

Normally viruses are herd immuned and disappear in 2 months.

Because of the masking, lockdowns, distancing and everything we have employed with the ChiCom flu, it would seem that we have prolonged its existence and therefore created a fabulous opportunity for it to mutate?

Everything can harm us.

However, bad .gov policy could bring nuclear war to our shores, riots to our cities, degradation of the electric grid, loss of sanitary water supplies, etc etc etc.

The question is—how much harm?

There were 479,050 excess deaths in 2020. It must just be a big coincidence that 479,050 extra Americans died at the same time the world was experiencing the peak of a global pandemic. It also must be a coincidence that most every other country saw a similar spike in excess deaths.

Most of those people were hit by meteorites, right?

The world of 2019 is gone. Accept that move on and plan accordingly. No amount of foot stomping and whining will change that fact. The whole world is fundamentally different and 2019 life is NEVER coming back it was killed by a biological attack from an enemy of humanity. The amount of damage and monetary policy cannot be undone for a generation if not ever. The best that can be hoped for is a reset to a balance budget, massive spending cuts, austerity measures and a shift to a hard currency but none of those things will ever happen as the corruption in the government not just the USA’s will simply not allow it. The world is in for a ruff generation on par with the great depression there is no avoiding it only a great war could reset much like wwii reset the crash of 1929. Prep up plan for ruff times this is not a drill.
