Is an even MORE infectious strain of Delta now taking off in Britain? Almost 10% of new cases in the UK are down to specific variant as data shows proportion has DOUBLED in a month (AY.4.2}

A subvariant of the Covid Delta strain could be more infectious than its ancestor, experts warned today after data revealed the proportion of cases linked to the strain has doubled in a month.

AY.4.2, as it is currently known to scientists, made up almost 10 per cent of all infections in England in the fortnight ending October 9. Virus-trackers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, which sequences thousands of Covid samples every week, say its prevalence stood at just four per cent in mid-September.

Academics estimate it may be up to 15 per cent more transmissible than the original Delta, which rapidly became dominant in Britain in the spring before taking off worldwide.

It has been detected in almost every part of the country, figures show, and it's thought to be behind almost 60 per cent of positive tests sampled sequenced in Adur, West Sussex.

No10 today said it was 'keeping a very close eye' on AY.4.2 but insisted there is 'no evidence' that it spreads easier. Boris Johnson's official spokesperson also warned the Government 'won't hesitate to take action if necessary'.

The warning comes as Covid cases continue to spiral across the UK, with daily infections yesterday shooting up to almost 50,000 in a three-month high.

More like a reformulated main vaccine requiring a sequence of three shots over two months.

Pandemic of the vaccinated. Escape variants caused by mass vaxing in the middle of a pandemic.

Breakthroughs of any "*Vaxxine*" lead to more variants
ASk yourself why NIH/CDC/ FDA aren't even asking the question where are all these variants coming from .
Not likely, since Faauxxi controls the funding of research.
A bureaucrat runs this country, not any Executive resident !

It’s not a new strain - it’s the vaxx causing this.

Either that or, as the UK press was trying to gaslight yesterday, the jabbed are merely having "very bad colds". Somehow the frankenshot renders one more susceptible to the common cold, but don't you dare suggest that it might be ADE!

“take action if necessary”

What “action” can they take? Masks? Lockdowns? Three meter social distance? Close all businesses?

Every “action” so far has failed miserably.

Nope, now we have “subvariant AY.4.2.” No Greeks needed.

Beware the subvariants! (is that scarier than “variants”?) More lockdowns! More masks! More jabs!

Actually what Britain has to fear the most is its cops attacking, roughing and arresting young women who read a text while standing at a podium. Watch Rebel News to witness the descent of a once great empire into barbarism.
