They are saying this originated here... so what is the difference between this and the muck occupying the attention of China right now? Are we going to have overlapping rarely lethal variants now?

I get it. But who electively chooses to add Ding to their last name, especially when it’s something like Feigl? It’s like a joke. lol

It’s still showing a pattern of decreased lethality.. which should be good news...

And they can be sure of the antidote for themselves.

Probably a smart way to go about it. I mean, if you are diabolical.

Infectious Disease ping – Newest covid variant, XBB15, is spreading across New England
It alleged that the CDC may be hiding data regarding the rate of infection.

"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."

" 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."

“… highlights risks of XBB variant, accuses CDC of hiding data…”
********************************************************************
They haven’t been hiding a damn thing regarding variant proliferations. Anybody following their PUBLIC variant tracking can see and track the variant trends.

Their weekly update of the tracking chart should be released sometime today.

Thanks for the link.
He appears to be an establishment public health researcher. I don’t know why he thinks the CDC is holding back data...

“the variant is more evasive and more infectious than older Omricon subvariants XBB and BQ”

That’s all you need to know right there. Viruses evolve a certain way. And that way is to become more easily spread. In the process of this evolution, they become much less lethal. (As killing the host stops you from being spread, so don’t do that!).

We were told that Omicron was basically just like a common cold. That means that this one is like what? A sudden coughing fit?

I’m kinda at the point where I think everyone who participated in the development and rollout of these vaccines should be forever barred form any position of power

Still a fan of of Donald Trump but he screwed the pooch by leaving Fauci and the others in charge of this crap and it’s always going to make me question his judgement

Is there a lethality chart?

That’s only a couple hours from Boston.

It would be convenient to release their newly engineered virus in NYC and let them take the fall for it.

For everyone's info, ding is a fake covid expert that first came to fame when covid first hit. He's actually a nutritioinist, and some kind of health economist, with no experience as an epidemiologist in infections diseases.

While he was associated with harvard, he isn't now.

There were many sites that exposed him early in the pandemic, but most of the searches don't appear to reveal his past now

some info

therightscoop this epidemiologist is a fake

some more towards the bottom of

thepostmillenial eric feigl ding covid19 disinformation

and for the science minded - info on the current strains of covid - currently 14.4 million different varients have been sequenced. Go to the following site and click on hcov19 phylogeny. You can see all the different strains that have appeared over time
