It's unclear yet if the variant can cause reinfections or is more resistant to vaccine antibodies

A new variant of the coronavirus has been found in California's Bay Area.

The Stanford Clinical Virology Lab, through genomic sequencing, has identified and confirmed one case of the emerging variant, which originated in India, according to a spokesperson for Stanford Health Care on Sunday. At least seven presumed cases of the Indian variant were also found.

The variant is being labeled as the "double mutant" because it carries two mutations in the virus that helps it latch onto cells, reports said.

;The study performed by the two agencies totally responsible along with D. Fauci for causing the entire pandemic’

and yet there are those on this very forum who treat mortality statistics from those same entities as gospel truth, and who are completely dismissive of any skepticism...

‘why, the medical community would never err like that...’ they say...

‘And the anti-mask, anti-vaccine, Covid denial team takes to the field first.’

‘anti-mask’- check; they are a complete joke, nothing but virtue signalling theater...a simple handkerchief, or even better, the crook of an elbow can block a cough or a sneeze just as easily without the social commentary...

‘anti-vaccine’- nope; go try and shame someone else...I got jabbed...

‘covid denial team’- wrong again, the only thing I’ve denied is that the virus demanded the draconinan response...

but don’t feel too bad; one out of three ain’t bad...in baseball...

You didn’t make it onto the anti-mask, anti-vaccine covid denial team then. You aren’t quite nutty enough. You didn’t make the cut. Sorry. Try again next year.

Right on time, the push to force everyone to get the vaccine and then in a few months another vaccine, etc. and etc., till we destroy our immune systems totally.
