Seems to me more evidence that push to vaccinate is entirely unwarranted

As we’ve been hearing for the last year plus.

The county I live in just announced that they want to reinstate a Mask mandate.

I just want to know what kind of Ashish they are smoking if they think anyone will comply.

This is the normal route of mutation that viruses follow. So, it’s no surprise.

This guy has proven himself to be such a persistent obtuse fool throughout the pandemic, I've come to the conclusion that his must be an elaborate trolling operation.

It’s getting less deadly because that’s what viruses do when they mutate. Duh!

Duh, that’s what viruses do. Both mutations that make it more transmissions and ones that make it less likely to kill the host cause higher reproduction rates. Therefore, those stations will come to predominate over time.

Also, for something like this that’s marginally lethal in the first place, killing older people and those with comorbidities, after a while, it’s got all the low hanging potential victims.

That’s generally the trajectory of “successful” viruses. A virus that kills it’s host doesn’t survive very long.

Don’t spoil the story.

Plus intrepid reporter David Axe is informing us that immunity spurs mutation. Genes are pretty smart that way. They laugh at random mutation theory.

1) Delta was more deadly than the original, so the whistling past the graveyard happy talk stuff about mutations get less deadly is obviously bizarre.
(https://globalnews.ca/news/8244271/delta-variant-covid-19-strain-canadian-study/)

2) Mutations that have designed themselves to penetrate immunity will do that to all immunity, from whatever source.

3) I won’t bother going to get the study that proved vax immunity that is new (about 6 months old) is superior to immunity from prior infection and recovery. ALL IMMUNITY FADES AND DIES, and if you’re over 65 and decide to rely on it, so will you. Vax faded in 6 mos and boosters faster.

4) This doesn’t mean Vax was stupid. It worked for 6 mos and then began to fade. It protected against death longer than 6 months, but it no longer at this point has any value.

5) If you’re younger than 65, your odds are good, for a while. Life expectancy is now 76.6. The virus chopped years off the young, and no, it wasn’t vax that did it. 2020 life expectancy dropped 1.4 years (no vax then), and another 0.4 yrs in 2021. 76.6 is all a new born can expect, because of the virus.

Don’t worry. It is going to suddenly appear very deadly for the midterm elections.

"Therapeutics are also now available to disrupt the course of the illness."

You see this written all over the place, but you never see a definition of the "new therapeutics."

The author mentions Paxlovid.

The CDC in COVID-19 Treatments and Therapeutics mentions "Pfizer's Paxlovid and Merck's molnupiravir, for the treatment of COVID-19 in certain patients."

The CDC links to the FDA for monoclonal antibodies: "COVID-19 monoclonal antibody therapeutics (mAb) are available for people ages 12 years or older."

For hospitalized patients, CDC recommends: "Remdesivir is an antiviral drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of COVID-19 in hospitalized adults and hospitalized pediatric patients at least 12 years of age."

The bottom lines are 1) there really are no other new "therapeutic" treatments the past 24 months except for the oral anti-virals Paxlovid (Pfizer) and Lagevrio (molnupiravir) (Merck), 2) a couple of new MABs, and 3) the government STILL continues to ignore Ivermectin, vitamins, and mineral supplements.

Fortunately the populace does not ignore them.
