More COVID-19 variants could come if people remain unvaccinated
MSM Health ^ | January 10, 2022 | Herb Scribner

New major COVID-19 variants will emerge if people don’t get vaccinated against the coronavirus, experts recently told CNBC.

“Until the whole world is vaccinated, not just rich Western countries, I think we are going to remain in danger of new variants coming along and some of those could be more virulent than omicron,” Dr. Andrew Freedman, an academic in infectious diseases at Cardiff University Medical School, told CNBC. Freedman said viruses “tend to become milder” with time, but that “isn’t always the case.”

“It may well be with future variants that they are even more contagious, they may be milder, but we can’t say that with certainty,” he told CNBC. The world’s population may have dodged a bullet with the omicron variant, which has proven to create mild COVID-19 symptoms in those infected despite its high transmissibility.

The World Health Organization said it is “good news” that the omicron variant only creates mild symptoms. But that doesn’t mean a new and riskier COVID-19 variant won’t pop up down the road. The Daily Beast recently reported about a potential new COVID-19 variant that could come in the future. It would be more dangerous, especially if it becomes a mix of the omicron variant and other COVID-19 variants like delta.

“Viruses evolve to survive. That can mean greater transmissibility, antibody-evasion or more serious infection. Omicron mutated for the former two. There’s a chance some future Sigma or Upsilon lineage could do all three,” according to The Daily Beast. “Imagine a lineage that’s as transmissible as omicron but also attacks the lungs like delta tends to do,” according to The Daily Beast. “Now imagine that this hypothetical lineage is even more adept than omicron at evading the vaccines.”

The notavaxes are causing the variants.

No, vaccination DURING an epidemic is what drives vaccine escape and causes the variants.

It’s the vaxxed causing it.

Plainly, the opposite is true.

Vaccinations PROMOTE variation.

Life will find a way.

It’s too funny that people who got fagcinated don’t realize they are the reason we are going through a second year of this crap. You don’t do vaccinations during an outbreak.

Mass vaccination into the face of an ongoing pandemic drive a higher rate of mutation in the pathogen.

“Mass vaccination into the face of an ongoing pandemic drive a higher rate of mutation in the pathogen.”

You have a source for that? Sounds like Lamarck’s theory.

More propaganda…the idiot forgot about animal reservoirs…it doesn’t matter if the world is vaccinated, it will mutate and circulate over and over for hundreds of years.

SARS-CoV-2 has animal reservoirs and the “vaxxines” are leaky, so it wouldn’t matter anyway.

“Now imagine that this hypothetical lineage is even more adept than omicron at evading the vaccines.”

Now imagine that it's 12 feet tall, has acid for blood and will erupt from your chest after incubating in you.
