The World Health Organization (WHO) has reclassified the ‘Mu’ Covid strain, also known as B.1.621, as a “variant of interest,” amid concerns that its mutations indicate a potential risk of resistance to existing vaccines. The WHO announced the classification in the organization’s weekly pandemic bulletin on Tuesday, several months after the Mu strain was first identified in Colombia.
“The Mu variant has a constellation of mutations that indicate potential properties of immune escape,” the WHO said, adding that “preliminary data showed it has the same behaviour as the Beta variant.”
The decision to monitor the Mu strain comes amid concern from the WHO about the potential risk of resistance to vaccines posed by new mutations, as case numbers begin to rise globally in countries that have relaxed Covid restrictions.
Since first emerging in Colombia back in January, the Mu variant has spread to other South American nations and some parts of Europe. Despite adding it to its monitoring list, the WHO says the Mu strain only has a 0.1% global prevalence among sequenced cases.

What happened to lambda?
Ivermectin shields the receptor against EVERY new, mutated, or bio-engineered spike protein.
Yet, somehow, the WHO fails to inform the planet. Why is that ?
I’m not a medical professional. I’m a decent observer who has been around for a few years. Enough disclaimer.
It appears that this virus is going to be around for a long time, and there is nothing we can do about it. People will get sick, some will die, but eventually, our bodies will develop defenses. Hiding in our homes will just delay the inevitable. Vaccines will be hit and miss, and involve some significant unknowns. It seems that focusing on treatments and taking reasonable precautions is our best plan.
It occurs to me that the covid situation is similar to climate change in terms of how some of us see humans ability to control their environment. They think we can make the planet’s climate conform to our wishes. They think we can control a virus. Neither is true.
This variant was named after the lost continent of Mu, where is was developed and spread by the evil Dr. Ming, who came from the moon last Monday.
Which is why natural immunity is the best
We can’t control anything.
Claiming that we can is just deception.
Life happens and you do the best with what you’ve got and leave it all in God’s hands.
So why would we expect this new kind of vaccine would be effective against every variant of this sars virus?
But then unlike the regular flu vaccine, these new vaccines do kill a small fraction of those who take them, and I suppose the dead are immune to variants...so I guess in that way the new ones are better. But the vast majority of those taking them don't die within a couple days, and they of course have no such blanket immunity to new variants like the dead do.
Although some have warned that the new vaccines will be deadly in the long run...so if they are right then the efficacy of the new vaccine type to future variants may go up as those who took it die prematurely. But the science is out on that since the new experimental vaccines have no data at all about real life long term effects yet.
BINGO, this covid just moves faster.
More ammunition to keep us in a constant state of fear.
“But the science is out on that since the new experimental vaccines have no data at all about real life long term effects yet.”
BECAUSE....the study group are the millions of guinea pigs...erhumans...who took the shots????
Exactly...it’s a throwback to mad cow disease.
Yep, let’s roll out the new ‘variant’ of concern. This week, it’s Mu. Last week, it was Delta. Next week, Pi?
Just wait until we get the tau chi omega variant batch done brewing.
Mu is the 12th letter in the Greek alphabet. Seems like a lot of variants are missing. Or are they so weak as to not merit notice? Nu is next.
