Dangerously Mutated COVID Variant Detected in 47 U.S. States (R.1)
Newsweak via MSN ^ | 9/22/21 | Anders Anglesey

A new COVID variant that infected vaccinated residents and staff at a Kentucky nursing home has been detected in 47 U.S. states, according to data.

The R.1 variant spread through 45 residents and staff at the nursing home after an unvaccinated staff member triggered the infections in March, the Kentucky Department of Public Health revealed.

Due to its mutation, the variant, first detected in Japan, was able to bypass the antibody protection present in the fully vaccinated.

According to Outbreak.info, a website that collects data on COVID variants, as of September 21, R.1 has now infected more than 10,567 people around the world and has been detected in 47 states.

Maryland was found to have the highest number of cases, with 399 cases being detected since it was first found in the country.

In total, 2,259 Americans have been found with the R.1 strain which was first detected in the country on March 15, 2020. The latest case to be detected in the U.S. was on August 6 and was found in 0.5 percent of cases.

Outbreak.info also reported the strain has been found in at least 31 countries worldwide, including China, India and many nations in western Europe.

Despite the low number of infections, former Harvard Medical School professor William A. Haseltine said the new mutations found in the R.1 variant could help it spread more easily.

Writing in Forbes, Haseltine said the five variations found in R.1 can lead to "increased resistance to antibodies."

But boy they sure are certain that it was an un”vaccinated” person spreading it.

It is almost like these “mutated variants” which are infecting even those who are vaccinated, were PLANNED.

“...was able to bypass the antibody protection present in the fully vaccinated.”

Canceling my CVS appt for my vaccination, even as we speak.

Just kidding...never had an appt.

What a pack of lies. We have no test to reliably identify Delta but now they’re telling us that R1 has been in circulation since March and we have exact numbers on how many people have had it? You can’t make this stuff up! Oh wait...

Jeez… Newsweak could do better than picking a 97-pound weakling as its new scary monster variant to continue its FEAR PORN. Delta had kicked every variant’s butt since gaining dominance in July in the US.

Yep, just in time. For what - the Maracopa audit, of course.

Start stringing the politicians up until they tell the truth. And if they choose not to, keep going.

Horrible journalism! The most important fact is left out of this article: how sick were these people? Did any end up on ventilators?

R.1 also shares a mutation with other variants, namely C241U, NSP12: P323L and D614G.

This is EXACTLY what I was afraid of. A Super Mutant, capable of penetrating even the thickest skulls among us.

Feets, don't fail me now!!!

“ Due to its mutation, the variant, first detected in Japan, was able to bypass the antibody protection present in the fully vaccinated.”

So then why is it the unvaccinated person’s fault?

First discovered 18 months ago?? 10K cases worldwide in 18 months, but it’s supposed to spread easier??

Wow, the BS is getting high here.
