How do we even know that its a variant ???
“ How do we even know that its a variant ???”
The news hyenas continuously bark it. Therefore, by definition, it is true.
Former PFizer Chief Science Officer for the Allergy and Respiratory Illnesses division said that those who already had Covid or a related coronavirus are immune to varients because they are only 1% different from ‘original’ COvid.
He notes that a researcher tested SARS1 (2003) patients with SARS1 in 2021 and found that after 17 years, they had maintained immunity following infection.
Then they tested those SARS1 former patients with Covid and they were immune to it as well. There is a 22% difference in the genomic sequence between SARS1 and SARS2 and immunity held. So little variations in Covid are not a threat.
Is there a separate test for variant ?

Probably is.
If it’s not, that would be a heeyoooge conspiracy.
Mutations make sense though. Particularly ones that increase transmissibility. The viruses that transfer better propagate more than others and win out over time.
But, beating the spike protein ‘immunity’ is also a logical mutation. Any variant of the virus that doesn’t match the profile targeted by the antibodies will definitely have more success.
A genetic test.
