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

Posted on 05/05/2022 1:17:46 PM PDT by BenLurkin

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.

Nahhh-

Elections are over.

Now it’s Ukraine.

Fauci had his 15 minutes.

Remnants of this will live on forever like with every other stupid over blown nonsense hyped up story before it. But no one wants a return of lock downs, social distancing... Not even Biden. He’s responsible for this economy now. It’s easy to shut everything down when someone else gets the egg on the face for it (Ukraine is another example of that - he’s not going to pay, someone else is, so he’ll gamble really high and even if the Russians attack because you offer NATO membership to Ukraine, blame them!).

Politics is a nasty business in general. But folks like Biden have no limits to what they will do or sacrifice in order to climb to the top and stay in power. Why do you think all these issues like paying off college debt are being thrown on the table now? He polls low among the young which is where he should be strong. Why do you think they are talking about the VA paying for “free” healthcare for illegals: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-mayorkas-veterans-affairs-resources-southern-border-migrants (his numbers are low among Latinos also where they should be high).

These guys have no values. They believe in themselves and are for sale. A return of Covid now would hurt Biden, not benefit him.
A cheap whore on the corner in the ghetto has more honor and integrity than some of these politicians.

“Using human sera in hamsters

Whaa? What does this mean? Are we going to be invaded by human/hamster mutants?

Just asking for a friend.

Not just vaccine evasion. They also evade the monoclonal antibodies created as a treatment. The pharma business has finally realized that the virus mutates so fast that a monoclonal developed to counter it will be ineffective before they can sell enough to offset development costs. The net consequence is there won't be new monoclonals coming.

If this hepatitis outbreak is “vaccine” related — will we ever know?

A couple observations on the child hepatitus. It appears all of the kids with hepatitus had a COVID-19 infection 3 1/2 months prior to the hepatitus symptoms. It also appears that the parents of children with hepatitus were vaxxed.

Is there any temporal proximity of a parent getting a "booster" before the child exhibits symptoms? Is there shedding of exosomes from the parent to child? Spike/mRNA via mother's milk?

A paper from last year...

Nasal vaccination against SARS-CoV-2: Synergistic or alternative to intramuscular vaccines?

It is striking that all marketed SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are developed for intramuscular administration designed to produce humoral and cell mediated immune responses, preventing viremia and the COVID-19 syndrome. They have a high degree of efficacy in humans (70–95%) depending on the type of vaccine. However, little protection is provided against viral replication and shedding in the upper airways due to the lack of a local sIgA immune response, indicating a risk of transmission of virus from vaccinated individuals.

I'd argue that providing minimal personal protection while allowing continued spread is a feature, not a bug (ha ha).

Deep State got what it wanted.

What would be really interesting to know: If the kids really did have the coof, and if anyone in the family was vaxxed with an adenovirus vectored CoupFlu vaxx.

Who gives a rat’s ass about that. Will Ivermectin or HCQ
stop BA2.212.1?

Most likely. As far as I know, Ivr or HCQ have stopped the virus and every variant.
