What if COVID-19 variants are like the many flu variants?
American Thinker ^ | 04/18/2021 | Uldis Sprogis

Posted on 04/18/2021 1:02:10 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

So far, documented COVID-19 variants are in the U.K., Brazil, South Africa, and Northern California, and I am sure there are others in India and China.  So COVID-19 is behaving much like the flu with mutations to new forms going on all the time.

Influenza or flu types A and B cause yearly epidemics, and there are over 60 kinds of known flu viruses.  Type A and B undergo seasonal changes almost every year.  To vaccinate yourself against the flu every year is a waste of time for most since there are just too many mutations, which change every year, and the flu is not deadly for most.

Similarly, to vaccinate yourself against COVID-19 is a waste of time for most because within a year, there are more than a handful of new variants that must be vaccinated against.  Yes, COVID-19 is deadlier for some elderly and others with compromised immune systems, but for the rest of us, it is a fact of life that we can live with, without severe consequences, especially for children.

Can vaccines stop variants?  This question is only partially answered in this April 9 publication.  Pfizer has already stated that after a year, you may have to be revaccinated since its vaccine may be ineffective a year from now.  So Pfizer is already preparing the public for the letdown of no permanent cure for the COVID-19 flu.  What do we do if we don't want to live in perpetual fear of a hypothetical death from COVID-19 and its variants?  Treat COVID-19 like the flu and hope for the best unless you are elderly with a compromised immune system!

Twenty twenty was a panicky seat-of-the-pants treatment of the COVID-19 spread with a fear that many children would die, business-killing lockdowns, and unreasonable standards for distancing and mask-wearing

The virus will naturally mutate into whatever form allows the greatest level of government oppression

What if COVID “ variants” were just more “escapes” from a Wuhan lab???

EVERY coronavirus responds the same way to prophylactic treatment. Adequate supply of zinc ion in the blood stream, and an active ionophore that opens up the virus particle to the absorption of this zinc ion, results in the coronavirus stopping propagation. No propagation, no disease.

This protocol works as a prophylaxis and as a treatment after infection, with almost always complete recovery thereafter. The few rare cases where the infection worsens is because of an existing comorbidity, and those respond to more aggressive forms of therapeutic treatment.

Almost no one has to die from any of the “mutations” of the COVID-19 Wuhan virus.

Why is it okay to name these variants after countries when the original virus was given some stupid generic name because it would be demeaning to insult an entire nation? It’s almost as if they are throwing out all of these country names to confuse people over the origin.

Stop with bull Shiite “What if” trope

Tripe

WTF ever...

We have been dealing with viruses intellectually and scientificly for 150 years.

We know what they do. We understand weaker mutation theory etc

If they can magically cure COVID-CCP-19, a SARS 2 variant of SARS-1 why can’t they cure H1N1, which was declared a disease that would end the modern world and uh....uhmmmm...10,000 people died from essentially a flu type variant

KcuF this crap

I’m so over it

Live it up like it’s your last day on earth...

COVID 19 is the flu so I would imagine there will be many variants.

Stop being a free thinker and using deductive reasoning. it works

And if Mana Nature doesn't find a way, Deep State will.

Life is risky.

Embrace the suck.

There's additional reasons "vaccines" won't work. Some don't have anything to do with the fake "vaccines".

Italian Researchers: Vaccines Will Not Work Because SARS-CoV-2 Is Also Entering Bacteria

Myrddin to ransomnote

This is old news, yet the study missed an important detail. SARS-CoV-2 in the bat population lives inside a co-infection with the Prevotella bacterium...the same found in human dental disease Oral Microbiome and SARS-CoV-2: Beware of Lung Co-infection

The Prevotella organism is a strict anaerobe. It can live in creases in gum tissue and also in the lungs. SARS-CoV-2 can use Prevotella as a host organism in addition to human cells. The addition of azithromycin to the hydroxychloroquine plus zinc treatment ensured that this secondary reservoir of SARS-CoV-2 was killed as well.

It is unlikely that oral-swallowed azithromycin is going to reach periodontal bacteria in any useful quantity via the bloodstream.

THe combination of AZ with HCQ is, for some reason, much more effective than HCQ alone.

It’s the Prevotella that lives in the lungs from spittle drainage that becomes a reservoir. It is easily treated with azithromycin. The Chinese observed pneumonia from Prevotella as a secondary infection from initial SARS-CoV-2. Micro-clotting from the virus lowered the oxygen in the lung tissue favoring growth of Prevotella.

Notice that the original excerpt refers to the lungs as the “secondary reservoir”. Can be re-populated from dental tissue easily. But I agree that Zithromax at an opportune time might be very efficacious against the lung colony.

Well worth the watch. Doc/govt health official telling them all it’s a hoax. 😂

Another moronic American Stinker piece. It says, in essence, “You’re all panicky...fear. It’s only the flu, bro. Vaccines don’t work.” Just take some horse wormer, and make it sound technical with words like “protocol.” ;D
