Mutant Coronavirus: Six Experts Answer Your Questions
19FortyFive ^ | 12/23/2020 | Ethen Kim Lieser

Dr. Dean Winslow, infectious disease specialist at Stanford Health Care

“The recently described SARS-CoV-2 variant has several substitutions both in the envelope spike protein and outside of that region that make this variant more transmissible between people. However, it does not appear to be more virulent or cause more severe disease. While it has not been specifically studied, these changes are not predicted to adversely affect the ability of the currently fielded vaccines to provide protection.”

The big thing...and it's out of Fauci's mouth....is that the vaccine does NOT prevent you from getting the Covid...you just won't get really sick and die.

So basically, it's therapeutic.

Before I listen to any Doctor/Expert regarding this vaccine, they must explain using Real Science why there have been less than 700 cases of Influenza in the USA since February

I’m not sure it this is accurate, but this is how this virus and vaccine was explained to me by a co-worker whose has a family member in the medical field. A very elementary primer.

The vaccine is not like the vaccine that eradicated polio or measles, mumps and rubella because the virus is not the same type. Those vaccines for the most part eradicated those diseases.

This cv19 vaccine is akin to a seasonal flu vaccine. With its effectiveness similar to the flu vaccine. Lasting no more that twelve months and not actually preventing you from getting (or spreading) the virus but lessing the symptoms if you do contract the disease. Just like a seasonal flu vaccine does.

Corona viruses mutate and going forward, in addition to your annual flu shot, an annual covid shot will have to be on the menu also.

Not interested in some “expert’s” opinion.

Too often, “experts” are self-proclaimed. They say something, and by God, it’s GOSPEL TRUTH. if you differ in any way from an “expert’s” proclamation, you’re wrong, and that’s all there is to it.

Screw them all.

Oh yeah. And even after getting the vaccine, you'll STILL be required to wear a mask and stay 6 feet away from other Americans. Fornicate that solid waste.

After a whole year of this crap, the public still does not even know what a virus is, let alone it mutating its guts out.

In other words, we have been given no real explanations for anything for a whole year.

Our lives have been impacted to the hilt.

And yet we are still clueless, and still forced to wear face diapers.

Of course, I am suspicious that some tiny line item in CDC guidelines for diagnosis has caused flu cases to be called covid.

However, there are other considerations. From the wacky world of virology it is known that in cases of co-infection with more than one virus, funny things can happen. In some cases, one virus can enhance the infectivity of another virus. In other cases, the viruses compete with each other. These are both primarily respiratory viruses. It is feasible that they compete for binding sites and covid wins most of the time. But more research is needed...

Yesterday's experience of trying to make an in-person payment on my turnpike account crystallized the whole mask cult for me. Even if I were medically able to wear a mask, I wouldn't. It's never been about safety -- it's always been about control.

Just a short while back, I always used to say that if America as a whole submits and allows itself to be enslaved, they would deserve whatever they got. But as time went on, I saw more and more ordinary Americans who ARE beginning to defy the domination. Either they quit wearing masks, or they get together in relatively large groups w/o that idiotic "6 feet apart" diktat, or something else along those lines. And it gives me hope.

Everything has to start somewhere.
