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.

Yeah, what Billy said.

Deja vu, anyone? Seems like I just read the same word-for-word “news article” in May, but it was about the Delta variant. Do they think we’re that stupid...or did they forget there’s such a thing as the internet? 🤦‍♀️

[curious7]

How exactly did they test for this. Finger in the wind and guess?

[Bernard]

Hawaii, Alaska, Maine, Connecticut and Florida. Not exactly contiguous, are they? But it certainly seems to get around.

This is a very real disease that is killing people. I couldnt even read through the whole thread from the freeper who died desperate for help

You can disagree with tactics used in the last year and half but you better not pretend you can slide through if you get it. Maybe you will. Maybe you won’t. A lot of people in the hospital right now regretting their decisions.

Even the Freeper last night was having a lot of issues over wondering if they should have done things differently.

You have to make your own decisions based on EDUCATED info...instead of just pretending this is not a wicked evil bioweapon

[CondoleezzaProtege]

I only learned of this mu-mu variant.... yesterday. 🙄🙄🙄

Imagine if all that was needed was Ivermectin from the start , Governments should be arrested for Murder

That is true.

How deadly is Covid-19 to children?

Provisional COVID-19 Deaths: Focus on Ages 0-18 Years NCHS and CDC - Data Last Updated September 1, 2021

Age group - 0 to 4 yrs; 144 deaths

Age group - 5 to 18 yrs; 326 deaths

Johns Hopkins Study Found Zero COVID Deaths Among Healthy Kids July 21, 2021

calculating accurate IFRs is important. To generate the best estimates possible, a team of scientists led by Megan O'Driscoll and Henrik Salje collected data on COVID-19 deaths in 45 countries and nearly two dozen seroprevalence studies (which determine the percentage of a population that has antibodies against the coronavirus and, hence, the percentage likely to have been infected). Using this data, they determined sex- and age-specific IFRs. (See chart.)

Do they have a test that can differentiate between these so-called “variants”? Or is this just more gaslighting by TPTB and the media?

[Prince of Space]

I don’t think so at all. My ex-daughter-in-law is obese and got Delta in July, along with her non-obese husband and 2 kids (one of whom is my teenaged granddaughter). None of them were vaccinated. The parents were both hospitalized for 6 days but the kids were fine. My DIL was sent home on oxygen but she survived, as did her husband. It’s not a death sentence.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

No coincidence the Delta Variant was announced the week following the rollout of the vaccines. Same “coincidence” this time around. Ignore it and keep taking your weekly HCQ, zinc, quercetin, C, D3, B, etc etc.

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

And my awesome immune system (Trained by The Creator) will recognize and RESIST IT.

[RummyChick]

Tell that to the Freeper who died before she could get the infusion.

People will have various degrees of problems depending on a variety of factors including viral load.

One Freeper told a story about how a neighbor with COPD got through it but it killed her husband.

A poster on this thread might not have lived if she hadnt pushed hard to get that infusion treatment at the very last minute. She was headed on a downward slope

It is idiotic to not have a plan if you get it...but hey..each to their own.

Mu variant could be extremely deadly. But it doesn't matter as long as Delta is beating Mu at the moment.

Beta was supposed to give vaccines a hard time but it is irrelevant because Beta never truly took off the way Delta did.

[Qui is]

Indeed. More fear porn. Yawn.

Somebody wake me when the aliens invade. Until then, it’s all good with me.

It’s the next hip thing.
