Amid warnings from health officials and the White House over a new COVID-19 surge coming this winter, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed a new variant is now dominant in parts of the Northeast.
The Omicron subvariant XBB accounts for about 52.6% of all cases in New England between Dec. 18 and Dec. 24, according to the CDC. XBB constitutes 18.3% of cases across the country.
“It looks like it’s just going to blow the other (variants) away in a very short period,” Jeremy Luban, professor of molecular medicine, biochemistry, and molecular biotechnology at UMass Chan Medical School, said to The Boston Globe. “The most likely explanation is that it’s more transmissible.”
Luban added that there’s no evidence that the current lineup of variants, including XBB, are escaping the protections offered by being vaccinated. XBB’s role in rising hospitalizations has not been confirmed, he said.
XBB is known as a recombinant of the BA.2.10.1 and BA.2.75 Omicron subvariants, according to the World Health Organization in October. The WHO also said while there have been no severe infections as a result of XBB cases, early evidence suggested it poses a higher infection risk when compared with other Omicron subvariants.
3 “XBB, it got our attention and then was prioritized, even though it was small numbers, because it had quite a number of substitutions different from the currently circulating viruses in the [receptor-binding domain], which meant that it might be an escape variant,” Derek Smith, director of the Center for Pathogen Evolution at the University of Cambridge, told CBS News in October.
The CDC said in October that XBB’s immune escape sufficiency will depend on “the regional immune landscape as affected by the size and timing of previous Omicron waves, as well as the COVID-19 vaccination coverage.”

Those other causes were factored into the declaration of causation.
Fentanyl has much more impact than obesity because it kills the young. A lot of years lost.
But 2021 had 400,000+ Covid deaths and that adds up tremendously in years lost. So their calculation is 60% Covid impact on 76.4.
Another factor in this is the fat usually die before older ages, and that’s normal for the numbers. It was present in the pre 2020 numbers as well as the post 2020 numbers. It’s not a change.
Last I looked the official number was 2.1 years of LE lost since the virus arrived. Fentanyl was factored in and projected.
Maybe the ugliest part of all of this is how the US has lost more LE than other peer countries masking just as much and vaxing just as much. They don’t lose anywhere near 2.1 years LE.
Almost as if the virus was aimed.
Didn’t they skip over one of the greek letters because it would have been politically incorrect to assign it to a virus?
I used to think he was annoying, too. But now I realize that he is actually quite profoundly mentally ill. It's more sad than funny.
Ideally, he will contract COVID at some point and expire from it. Then he might at least achieve some psycho-emotional gratification at the end.
Well, here’s some good news...

Scroll down for the chart “Daily Count of Doses by Date of Vaccine Administration, United States”.
Looks like the numbers have cratered.
>> I will keep living, sans “vaccine”, my life as I see fit.
Ditto. AND licking Ivermectin right off the end of the horse syringe! :-)
My body my choice!
Yep...xi...
You ain’t a horse!...y’all...
When they’re done with their masks, they can use them to wipe their asses. That’s about all they’re good for.
Neigh!!!
Well, ok, to be honest, only one part of me.
Last name Holmes?...
And not a bit of curiosity, from the pedo xiden regime, about the origins of the virus.
As long as they don’t get the order of that confused, I suppose.
Thanks for jogging my memory.
Skip over the letter that names the malefactor that did the crime, because “racism”... how obsequious can ya get??!?
LOL! Yep. Blind Melon Chitlin Holmes.

Thank you for such an informative and heartbreaking account of what people are going through. Most people I talk to have no idea of the injuries this product has caused. Most figure that if their own experience was positive then that must be what it’s like for everyone else. This will be the video I send them.
“Hey we’ll never get that on the album cover.....but we can play jump rope with it.”
Only, wrong.
It’s the jab that’s cutting life expectancy, and, you (should) know it (by now), Owen.
The $hots are also causing all of the compromised immune systems...as well as squeezing out these new variants.
The jabbed are becoming infected, and, can infect the unjabbed who may be low in Vit D, or, otherwise immune compromised.
We were told ALL about how exactly this would be happening, nearly TWO years ago.....by REAL docs and scientists...such as Dr Lee Merritt (retired Naval surgeon), pathologist Dr Ryan Cole (runs one of the largest pathology clinics, in the USA), etc., etc.
Stop blaming china virus, for what the $hots are doing.
Everyone we know who has/has had this crud, in the past several weeks....is either jabbed, or, lives with someone who is jabbed.
They are stacking the bodies in New York City, saw it with my own eyes. From Rockefeller Center to the Upper East Side, all the way down to Battery Park. Soon there will be so many bodies that the entire island of Manhattan will slip into the Atlantic and become the world’s largest barge.
