In case you haven’t heard, there is supposedly a new COVID-19 variant spreading in South Africa. Per reports, for what they are worth, it is far more transmissible than prior incarnations of the virus while also evading the current vaccines.
I have my doubts about such wild claims given how invested governments and certain corporations are in spreading hysterical fear to justify draconian measures. Still, there’s no downside to being cautious, and that leads me to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s latest comments.
When asked about the new variant, Fauci punted on banning travel from South Africa. That comes amid announcements from multiple European countries that they are doing so.
Fauci not ready to ban travel over new variant until data says it’s necessary https://t.co/mrPdYfjofx

When would the data say it’s necessary? After it’s already here and spreading? I simply don’t understand the logic here. Wouldn’t the goal be to stop that variant from coming to the United States in the first place?
This is why I don’t take this man seriously. Captain lockdown mandate man has never had a problem with taking harsh measures when it comes to the coronavirus. He’s supported everything from forced vaccinations to mask mandates to shutting down sports arenas. He spends every weekend giving interviews to friendly media proclaiming how dangerous the virus is.
Yet, when the opportunity comes up to do something as simple as stopping air travel from a country with a new variant, he demurs. Why? Why is willing to crush liberties and violate the constitution domestically, yet gets squeamish when it comes to our borders (including the Southern Border)? That is something actually within the federal government’s purview.
Fauci also commented on the origins of COVID-19, where he was confronted with the fact that not even the Chinese are still pushing the wet-market theory. His answer should only raise more suspicions about exactly what is motivating him.
Despite China's acknowledgment that COVID-19 most likely did not originate in a wet market, Dr. Fauci tells @margbrennan "it certainly could have," adding, we still "don't know how and where" the virus started.

He’s like a kid that just won’t take no for an answer. If you actually watch Fauci in the clip trying to explain why it likely came from bats, it’s clear his knowledge on the subject is limited. He stumbles several times and refuses to accept the notion that the virus didn’t originate in a wet market. Even as the evidence that the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology exists, Fauci continues to toe a line that protects China.
That’s where I say he gives the game away. You look at these two answers, one about a travel ban and another about the origins of the virus, and they are both soaked in politics. In the first case, it seems as if Fauci is concerned he would be accused of xenophobia for recommending we ban travel from an African nation. Otherwise, why not just play it safe? In the second case, he’s steadfastly married to a claim that just so happens to follow the leftwing’s preferred narrative, which is that the virus occurred naturally. As a bonus, it plays into his prior subservience to China as well.
Fauci is a man who enjoys the spotlight, but he’s also a man who adjusts his positions to keep him. That’s why so few trust him anymore. He’s simply a political actor masquerading as an unbiased expert.
Do you have something different to report?
Sick of this dude.
RE: Reports posted on FR is that the Botswana mutation has only shown up in “vaccinated” Africans. Do you have something different to report?
Nothing, that is why I ask. I would be grateful for a link to this information. Thanks.
RE: Seems the latest ‘problem’ variant in Africa is coming from a few patients - all of whom were vaccinated.
I would be grateful if you could provide a link for this information.
Fauci funded the leaky Wuhan lab.
FauXi didn’t have all the data when they asked him.
He hadn’t spoken to the Commissar yet to receive his official opinion on the matter.
Just every day read back on FR threads for a 24 hour period.
Todays cycle has the threads stating only "vaccinated" Africans showed up with the Botswana mutation.
FR does no longer has 1K threads for that period as in the past.
Forget Fauci. He’s a political animal.
Botswana drew my eye. A few months ago, there was some grumblings on the trade deficit with China, falling from 44M to 2M while imports from China increased to $151M. This was followed in August by announcements from the Botswanian govt and China that China was going to lead in re-training their nurses and medical staff...Part of that announced program was provision of PPE. And three months later, B.1.1.529 Botswana (omicron) (Nov 2021) - an offshoot of an older variant called B.1.1 .(other B.1.1’s are P2-Brazil; UK/US-Alpha; Russian)
Curious.
To quell some panic: J&J, was trialed against Beta strains and proved effective. We need to know How effective it is against Omicron, which could be discovered pretty fast
“Barouch’s team also tested blood from the vaccinated volunteers against the most worrying variants of the virus, including the Delta or B.1.617.2 variant first seen in India, the B.1.351 or Beta variant first seen in South Africa, and the P.1 or Gamma variant spreading in Brazil.
“We see robust neutralizing antibody coverage of the variant,” Barouch said. Neutralizing antibodies are the immune system proteins that inactivate a virus before it can replicate.
“A single dose of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine generated neutralizing antibodies against a range of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, which increased over time, including against the increasingly prevalent and more transmissible Delta (B.1.617.2) variant, the partially neutralization-resistant Beta (B.1.351), the Gamma (P.1) variants and others, including the Alpha (B.1.1.7), Epsilon (B.1.429), Kappa (B.1.617.1) and D614G variants, as well as the original SARS-CoV-2 strain,” the company said.

Capt Trips will win out or it won’t.
“Being cautious” is the foundation for all of the tyranny to which the world has been subjected for going on two years. “Being cautious” is nothing more than stoking irrational fear in idiots who willingly not only cede their freedom to tyrants, but insist that everyone else should do the same, to placate THEIR spineless, brainless, irrational fear. That’s why it is stupid to say that there’s no harm in being cautious. When the “caution” destroys more than it preserves, it is hardly noble, particularly when it is forced on unwilling people by lying TYRANTS.
HerrDoktor FauxiMengeleGates needs be hanged from fifty one cubits high gallows.
I believe you’re right.
They know from the Black Friday sales numbers that Bidenflation is damaging so they’re going to instead blame a COVID “variant” in Africa of all places that’s had amazing success by avoiding the Jim Jones Jab.

In neighboring Botswana, officials recorded four cases on Monday in people who were fully vaccinated.
Well, I would not call another Freeper stupid, but...
...that second statement is at a minimum separated from reality if not divorced.
It's not a scary NEW virus. Just another, and not the last, variant.
In either case, I disagree.
I'm not in favor of panic moves. According to gov't, nearly half the US has been infected already. Typically, vars become less dangerous and faster spreading. I'm OK with that.
At this point anybody still willing to take the vaccine is probably to dumb to live anyway.
how stupid people are.....
its a bio weapon and the vaxx is a bioweapon on steroids....
the testing is FALSE and yet here we are.....
hell even the FORCED protocols killed people in hospitals....KILLED THEM.....
I don’t view Dr Faux-si as incompetent, more like malevolent. He was probably in on the planning of this event and that’s why his reactions are so inconsistent, he has to maximize the spread but also the disruptions. He can’t appear too obvious or he would have been gone during the Trump administration and even perhaps in this one. At the same time, he can’t do too many obviously correct things because that would end the pandemic and therefore the great reset which is what this is really designed to do. China knows this and has co-operated, and now seeks an advantage although I don’t think this is entirely a Chinese-run operation, it’s a hybrid of Chinese and globalist direction. We’re being played on a massive scale but it’s good to see that at least some, quite a few here, can see this.
I hate to have to point it out but there are 24 proteins the naturally immune have antibodies/Tcells/Bcells for. The vaxed have antibodies/T/B for 1. 24 proteins have to mutate for escape from natural immunity. 1 has to mutate for escape from vax immunity.
This variant has mutated that 1 sufficiently to apparently escape vax immunity. It is unknown if all of the other 23 have mutated sufficient to escape natural immunity but that is as likely as rolling snake eyes 10,000 times in a row at the craps table. 23! is exactly: 1 in 25852016738884976640000 to give perspective. Those are not the actual odds but they are in that sort of astronomical realm.
