COVID-19: US epidemiologist highlights risks of XBB variant, accuses CDC of hiding data
CNBCTV18 ^ | December 30th, 2022 | unattributed

COVID-19 infection rates are soaring across China, the United States, Japan and many more countries and experts have been cautioning against the rise of further new variants that can risk global communities. One such variant is the XBB15, which is now spreading across the US, especially in New York and the New England region, explained epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding.

In a series of tweets, the expert has stated that the recombinant XBB15 variant is the β€œnext big one”. The expert states that the variant is more evasive and more infectious than older Omricon subvariants XBB and BQ.

Feigl-Ding said that the data showed the XBB15 variant was 120 percent faster than the BQ.1 sub-lineage of COVID-19, which was previously the fastest-spreading variant. Interestingly, Feigl-Ding accused the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of hiding the data about the subvariant for weeks even as it was causing a surge in infections. The expert stated that the recombinant was likely of American origin and had emerged in New York around October. Feigl-Ding also said that this was likely the cause behind the high number of COVID-19 cases in New York, which have not come down like in previous waves.

xxb Huh? We do now know that those fake vaxes are dangerous and do not work. We do know Biden will welcome people into America to infect us all and he will then impose draconian edicts and shutdowns.

Fear mongering... Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me... Let’s not be fooled again.

Covid is complete nonsense... Healthy people survive it even after having it several times. This is not a pandemic... It is a nuisance that left leaning media keeps alive for entertainment value... They are trying to goad politicians like Biden into repeating lockdowns and restrictions... Just to see if they can.

I think they just make up stuff to suit whatever narrative they want to project.
CDC lost any credibility they used to have.

I was listening to Dr Paul Cottrell talk about this a few weeks back. He said there was talk of it looking like a SARs that is looking more like a MERs. He was waiting on more data to make a call.

It’s still Omicron, the Chinese are simply paying a due bill they postponed at the onset of BA.1.

Suffer!
