Gee, I wonder how that’s happening?

Thanks, Democrats.

As a direct result of the Biden gang purposeful opening the U.S. southern border, the U.S. name is “The Biden Mexican variant.”

The data that was used is six weeks old.

The raw number - 11,435 variant samples - has doubled over the last 10 weeks.

The mutation to the spike protein appears to make the Mexican Variant more contagious.

Is the infection more severe?

The article does not comment on that.

Don’t assume its even real; since they didn’t get 100% compliance on vaccines for everyone down to 6 months of age, I fully expected a story like this to turn those who received the faux vaccine to ratchet up the pressure on those who opted out - or at least stand by idly while Big Brother tries to require it.

The only thing giving us some breathing room is that many of those avoiding it are black and brown; they have a healthy skepticism (thanks Tuskegee!).

Mexican variant? Does this mean spending a lot of time on the pot?

Same as colds and flus. The idea of a true vaccine is laughable. They all will mutate and circle the globe forever.

Folks (democrat opportunists) said it was racist to say it originated in China since it sparks massive white-on-Asian bigotry and violence. Now they’re calling this the Mexican variant..

Isn’t calling it the Mexican variant racist? Shouldn’t it be something like Covid-19.00079?

Sooooo...

If the virus is the existential threat the government - CDC, Fauci, et al - make it up to be, an obvious - and strictly rhetorical, but obligatory - question:

Just "Why?" are people permitted to freely enter the southern border?
