Dangerously Mutated COVID Variant Detected in 47 U.S. States (R.1)
Newsweak via MSN ^ | 9/22/21 | Anders Anglesey

A new COVID variant that infected vaccinated residents and staff at a Kentucky nursing home has been detected in 47 U.S. states, according to data.

The R.1 variant spread through 45 residents and staff at the nursing home after an unvaccinated staff member triggered the infections in March, the Kentucky Department of Public Health revealed.

Due to its mutation, the variant, first detected in Japan, was able to bypass the antibody protection present in the fully vaccinated.

According to Outbreak.info, a website that collects data on COVID variants, as of September 21, R.1 has now infected more than 10,567 people around the world and has been detected in 47 states.

Maryland was found to have the highest number of cases, with 399 cases being detected since it was first found in the country.

In total, 2,259 Americans have been found with the R.1 strain which was first detected in the country on March 15, 2020. The latest case to be detected in the U.S. was on August 6 and was found in 0.5 percent of cases.

Outbreak.info also reported the strain has been found in at least 31 countries worldwide, including China, India and many nations in western Europe.

Despite the low number of infections, former Harvard Medical School professor William A. Haseltine said the new mutations found in the R.1 variant could help it spread more easily.

Writing in Forbes, Haseltine said the five variations found in R.1 can lead to "increased resistance to antibodies."

I had COVID last month, months after taking both doses of the Moderna vaccine. For years I have taken D3 and Zinc in addition to all the other vitamins and minerals.

Believe me, you don’t want to catch this bug.

Understood.

Question: Do you know did you catch it from someone who was “vaccinated” or from someone who was not?

Dangerously Mutated.. Next mutation in the series:

alarmingly

perilously
precariously
recklessly
seriously
severely
hazardously
carelessly
daringly

Probably ought to put a list up like they do hurricanes so we know which one is coming next.

Uh-huh.

And they can then tell us the exact number of cases without exhaustive testing, *how*...?

...after an unvaccinated staff member triggered the infections...

How in the world could they possible know who gave it to who. (Or whom.)

No, there is a way, apparently. I believe they can tell which way it went, from A to B or from B to A.

I’ll ask the freeper I mentioned if he wants to explain it.

China spread it. Not the unvaccinated. Just the way that they planned it.

I received an e-mail on Friday night asking for some helpers to set up chairs for the funeral of a person at church that I've never met.

Today, I received a follow-up e-mail from the original requester stating that 5 members of the family of the deceased who attended the funeral have tested COVID positive. If you were there, isolate and get tested.

Just in time to justify my fellow citizens masking and moralizing.

Pfizer will have a new vaxx ready by next week—and it will be mandatory.

I tested positive last month too, during a nasty upper respiratory cold. Sneezing, sniffling, felt yucky. I also have been taking D3 and Zinc. Was vaxxed with Moderna in January and February.
