Mayo Clinic Doctor says new COVID variant evades vaccines
KSTP ^ | May 4, 2022 | Jay Kolls

Mayo Clinic infectious disease expert, Dr. Gregory Poland, told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the new COVID-19 variant, BA2.212.1, has created a surge in the central portion of New York state and in South Africa, where it originated. Scientists are keeping a close eye on it because it is 30% more transmissible than the Omicron variant and initial lab tests show it evades current vaccines.

“Using human sera in hamsters, a hamster model, but it’s a good model, the vaccines didn’t offer much of any benefit in the face of these new, almost — I call them super variants — and that’s a problem,” said Poland.

Poland said the new variant is likely playing a role in the recent increase of new cases across the country and in Minnesota where those numbers rose from 1,000 new cases last week to roughly 2,500 new cases this week, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.

Dr. Peter Bornstein, St. Paul Infectious Disease Associates, told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that the BA2.212.1 variant is “concerning,” and urged anyone 50-years-old and older to get a second round of the booster shots to help prevent another surge in Minnesota.

Full circle. And all of the jabbed are going to demand to be unvaxxed like me. Which is what they all were in the first place, inasmuch as the jab did not work as advertised.

WOW, we are all goners. We shouldn’t have ever taken the vaccination. We are all going to DIE... Even the Democrats. I say we all just get drunk, and jump off a cliff and end it all fast. Who wants to be first?

The year before the year before lasts Covid vax?

That would be as effective as getting a flu shot this year for the 2019 strain of the flu.

Morons.

Article says: “initial lab tests show it evades CURRENT vaccines.”
So tell me WHY anyone should get a vaccine based on the CURRENT “secret sauce of the month recipe.”

Ok, I’m seeing in the fine article where this new variant is 30% more transmissible than Omicron, but I’m not seeing that the new variant is any more deadly...

But after reading the full article, I see these two conflicting factoids:

“Using human sera in hamsters, a hamster model, but it’s a good model, the vaccines didn’t offer much of any benefit in the face of these new, almost — I call them super variants — and that’s a problem,” said Poland.

and

Dr. Peter Bornstein, St. Paul Infectious Disease Associates, told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that the BA2.212.1 variant is “concerning,” and urged anyone 50-years-old and older to get a second round of the booster shots to help prevent another surge in Minnesota.

So are they urging me to protect myself by getting a booster shot of the same vaccine that they also just told me wasn't effective against this new strain?

Did NOT work as advertised?

As can easily be seen, the vaxxxxxxxxines are dangerous AND ineffective. But the best part is NOT yet here: When the American public realizes the vaxxxxxines are dangerous killers.

The clustering lymphocytes on the right are clustering because the dangerous vaxxxxxine produce spike proteins, and the spike proteins are attacked by the white blood cells.

The fact that the spike proteins are everywhere from the brain, heart, lung, spleen.... should be of immediate concern. Whatever you do, don't take any more of these worthless vaxxxxxxine injections and even more important, do NOT let the murderers with medical licenses vaxxxxxxxinate children.

RUMBLE VIDEO If you are still in doubt, listen to eugenics psycho Bill Gates say they are going to use vaxxxxxxxines to reduce the population.

Obviously with this new variant out there it is imperative that everyone get double boosted as soon as possible.

Every variant seemed to have slipped by the vaccine. Some more than others but it was neither safe nor effective vs any of them.

the BA2.212.1 variant

I hear it's the BA2.212.1.05/cos40-(3x+2y-a) variant that will finally get you.
