Heavily mutated coronavirus variant puts scientists on alert (South Africa this time)

Researchers in South Africa are racing to track the concerning rise of a new variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The variant harbours a large number of mutations found in other variants, including Delta, and it seems to be spreading quickly across South Africa.

A top priority is to track the variant more closely as it spreads: it was first identified in Botswana this month and has turned up in travellers to Hong Kong from South Africa. Scientists are also trying to understand the variant’s properties, such as whether it can evade immune responses triggered by vaccines and whether it causes more or less severe disease than other variants do.

“We’re flying at warp speed,” says Penny Moore, a virologist at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, whose lab is gauging the variant’s potential to dodge immunity from vaccines and previous infections. There are anecdotal reports of reinfections and cases in vaccinated individuals, but “at this stage it’s too early to tell

The vaccine is facilitating the variants.

Oh man. That’s quite a discovery. A new variant that’s dangerous to kids? And it was discovered right as they’re about to make a major push to vaccinate children?

Prove that it was Covid. The PCR test CANNOT distinguish between any virus.........COVID IS A LIE!!!!

Fake Science, Invalid Data: There Is No Such Thing as a “Confirmed Covid-19 Case”. There Is No Pandemic.
by Prof Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research

November 23, 2021

“The PCR is a Process. It does not tell you that you are sick”.

Dr. Kary Mullis, Nobel Laureate and Inventor of the RT-PCR, passed away in August 2019.

“…All or a substantial part of these positives could be due to what’s called false positives tests.”

Dr. Michael Yeadon: former Vice President and Chief Science Officer for Pfizer

This misuse of the PCR-RT technique is applied as a relentless and intentional strategy by some governments to justify excessive measures such as the violation of a large number of constitutional rights, … under the pretext of a pandemic based on a number of positive RT-PCR tests, and not on a real number of patients.

.Dr. Pascal Sacré, Belgian physician specialized in critical care and renowned public health analyst.

I have several friends that have been diagnosed. However I now know not one person who has had the flu or a cold in the past two years.

[ronnie raygun]

Their super spreaders and the introduction of new viruses in remote areas will help to kill off untold many. The depopulation juggernaut is in high gear

[Qiviut]

A serious question - did any of these people you know who died get early outpatient treatment for COVID? This would be treatment in the first 1-5 days after showing symptoms. Did any get monoclonal antibodies in the early days of their illness?

Sorry for the loss of your 2 close friends & others you know.

[caww]

I just read this week about Africa had well managed through covid.....somethings a bit more than just fishy regarding this change.

[caww]

Novadex

[setter]

My God you are a nutjob.

[setter]

South Africa has been hurt by covid but the rest of the countries on the continent have had minimal covid deaths.

I read that SA was richer and way more obesity

[afchief]

Then back up your statement with FACTS

Guess what LYING Liberal.........YOU CAN’T!!!

[mewzilla]

Some enemedia outlets are pinning it on an untreated HIV patient.

Hmmmm, wonder why not Provincetown, MA...?

[johnnygeneric]

“There are anecdotal reports of reinfections and cases in vaccinated individuals” and exactly how is this different from what we’re seeing already??

[setter]

You are so damn ignorant to think that covid is a lie, this is the best reply you will get

[nomorelurker]

3-5 days ago listened to a BBC radio story on a study done in Uganda. Seems that people who have had Malaria (I believe they said acute) had only very mild cases of Covid when infected. How that might relate to Ivermictin (anti-malarial drug originally) I am not smart enough to guess beyond simple correlation.

[glennaro]

Just an observation:
It’s “curious” isn’t it? That just a couple of days after numerous articles about how, contrasted with the rest of the world, Africa has done well with the Fauci-sponsored virus, that this new, worst-ever-in-the-history-of-the-word “variant” is discovered ... in Africa.

[Nik Naym]

You just never know. I’m 60 years old and tested positive for covid 3 days ago.

I feel like crap, but I’ve had colds worse than this.

[sheana]

Im just now getting over a cold. And it was a doozy for my already bad sinuses. And no, I didn’t go get tested. I know what a head cold is.

[Mr. K]

I had it last month... no worse than any other flu i’ve had.
