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 “next 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.

It appears to be a combination of his and his wife’s surnames... kind of like John Ono Lennon...
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?
“Feigl-Ding”
Ok...interesting name.
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
There’re gonna keep refining it until it takes out 90% of the world’s population.
It’s still showing a pattern of decreased lethality.. which should be good news...
Probably a smart way to go about it. I mean, if you are diabolical.

“… 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...
“Surge of BS.”
Agreed. This entire country needs a high colonic! Every quarter!
Presumed to be an agent of the PRC and CCP until proven otherwise.
“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?
Branch COVIDian noob. Spit.
We have seen this story before and Indont think that America is going to fall for it again. Go hide in your basement awaiting the Vader variant noob.
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.
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
