Mu COVID Variant That May Resist Vaccines Found in 49 U.S. States

Nebraska is the only state in the United States to have not detected a case of the Mu variant of COVID-19, which may render vaccines less effective.

Since being first identified in Colombia in January, the Mu variant has spread to 41 countries, including the United States. Most prevalent in Hawaii and Alaska, the variant accounts for less than one percent of cases in the U.S., but its potential to be more transmissible or resist vaccines and natural immunity have health officials keeping tabs on the mutation.

At least one case of the Mu variant has been detected in the District of Columbia and every state in the U.S. aside from Nebraska, according to Outbreak.info, a website that provides open source data on COVID-19 variants.

California has reported the highest number of Mu variant samples, at 384 cases, but that only accounts for 0.2 percent of the total samples sequenced in the state. As of Friday, Los Angeles County had identified 167 Mu variant cases, according to the Department of Public Health. The cases were found in samples sequenced between June 19 and August 21, with the bulk of the cases being found in July.

"The identification of variants like Mu, and the spreading of variants across the globe, highlights the need for L.A. County residents to continue to take measures to protect themselves and others," Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of LA County Public Health said in a statement. "This is what makes getting vaccinated and layering protections so important. These are actions that break the chain of transmission and limits COVID-19 proliferation that allows for the virus to mutate into something that could be more dangerous."

Maine, Connecticut and Florida round out the list of states with the highest prevalence of Mu cases.

Definitely it’s FEAR PORN. DELTA is kicking MU’s ass and grinding it into the pavement.

“Most prevalent in Hawaii and Alaska...”

Clearly the fault of climate change and whites trying to give non white indigenous people The Rona’.

“Delta” and “Mu” are just the latest excuses for why the vaccines don’t work.

Meanwhile, take your zinc and live your life.

A freeper has just had his kid have to go to the hospital with oxygen in the 70s. He is in his 20s. Last report last night is that he would have to be there a week

Covid is capricious and you never know if your body will turn on you and try to kill you.

Hope they give him the monolonal treatment, otherwise they risk him declining into death

True.

Driving to work everyday is probably more risky as a 20 something male though.

N=1 is not a healthy sample size.

So that justifies the last year and a half?

Treat people early when symptoms first appear and most of the cases would result only in good immunity.

Some people will always be the exception and there is nothing that can be done about that. You simply cannot know for sure until it happens, but that is NO justification for the relentless fear porn and unrestrained tyranny we’ve seen as a result.

If I’m not mistaken, there were stories not too long ago about the CDC admitting the PCR tests weren’t detecting covid.

Also remember reading that they had to admit they haven’t even been able to isolate the virus.

If that’s the case, how are they detecting a new variant if they don’t even know what the first one is all about.

So, by this time next year I wonder what the name of the variant will be that will mandate Mail In Voting for the November ‘22 elections.

Am finishing up my Ivermectin self-treatment regime and feeling fine.

Having the antibodies to form a natural immunity is much preferred to this so-called vaccine.

I began treatment on the first evening of feeling the symptoms. So having the meds on hand is a great advantage.

I think it is too late for that for the son. I encouraged him to have his wife get the treatment if she was in the transport vehicle since she is considered to be at risk since she would have been exposed.
