CCP Virus Is Losing Virulence, May Vanish Without Need for Vaccine: Italian Infectious Disease Doctor
Epoch Times ^ | 06/23/2020 | BY VENUS UPADHAYAYA

Posted on 06/23/2020 9:21:02 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

An Italian infectious disease expert said that the CCP virus is losing its virulence and could disappear on its own without needing a vaccine.

Professor Matteo Bassetti, head of the infectious diseases clinic at the Policlinico San Martino hospital in Italy, said that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, is losing its ability to infect people and the mortality rate is decreasing.

“The clinical impression I have is that the virus is changing in severity,” Bassetti told The Telegraph, adding that in March and early April, the patterns of virulence were very different from what they are now.

“Now, in the past four weeks, the picture has completely changed in terms of patterns. There could be a lower viral load in the respiratory tract, probably due to a genetic mutation in the virus which has not yet been demonstrated scientifically. Also, we are now more aware of the disease and able to manage it,” he said.

Bassetti said the virus has undergone mutation and its “viral load” has decreased. He is of the opinion that the virus may never return and the world may not need a vaccine.

Last week, doctors at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) said that the virus has been losing its severity and people aren’t getting as sick as they were before.

However other health experts are skeptical about those claims, saying there’s not enough evidence to support that.

“I don’t think we have evidence of this yet,” Dr. Heidi Zapata, a Yale Medicine infectious disease doctor and assistant professor, told The Health Line.

“The study concluded that most of the mutations were largely neutral and did not affect its lethality.” Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease physician and senior scholar for Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security,

TWO POSSIBLE POSTULATED REASONS FOR DECREASE IN CORONAVIRUS VIRULENCE :

* People might be getting infected with a “lower amount of virus because so much social distancing has been put into place.

* Some experts are also of the opinion that the weather could also play a role. Health Line reports that the SARS virus mysteriously disappeared after being virulent for seven to eight months. Virologists still don’t understand the reason behind it.

( MY COMMENT: Yeah, but what happens when the weather turns cold again? )

That just won’t do! The population control people will find / cause some new disease after this pandemic fades without achieving their ends.

Even though it might be slightly worse then the flu, it certainly wasn’t Armageddon that the media and Fauci have been hyping it to be.

To bad we lost the economy for a false sense of security

I could have even understood the 15 day “shut down” to flatten the curve so hospitals wouldn’t get over run. But keeping everything shut down is just criminal at this point.

No one will never do a shut down again.

I am sure the CCP is cooking up a newer and more improved one as we speak

If the virus was devised as a bioweapon this would make sense. Cause mass casualty and slowly fade way. Or fade away regardless. The fading away property is the safety switch.

Big pharma, the corrupt medical community, FDA and CDC need to keep the public in fear so there is a market and demand for the high-priced vaccine ($$$)

They need to ‘sell’ the virus

I appreciate their honesty in admitting they simply don’t know a lot about this virus or what to expect.
Better to say that, than to weave horrific tales of suffering and devastation just to get on camera.

They can rely on the bought and paid for Democrats to shut down our economy if they can release a second disease.

‘No one will never do a shut down again.’

the same people who shut it down last time will do it again in a heartbeat, and the same people who bleat happily about ‘being in this together’ and writing love sonnets to face masks will take it again in a heartbeat, and the same people on this very forum who backed every minute of the fear mongering will be posting their scribblings in a heartbeat...

this is what the corona virus has taught me...

Not to mention this 15 minutes of fame was several months ago - this story is old.

People need to understand that COVID-19 is a fancy name for SARS-2.

SARS-1, which I believe showed up in 2003, was a severe common cold virus.

SARS-1 disappeared completely after one year.

Almost all human respiratory viruses mutate themselves out of existence after one year.

Exactly as designed into the virus by the Wuhan Biological Weapons Lab from whence it came.

Yep.

Time for China to unleash Phase II, the highly infectious, long incubation period, high lethality to non-Han, engineered virus for which they have an effective vaccine, on an unsuspecting world lulled by the massive 'overreaction' to COVID-19 that they orchestrated.

The government wants to disarm us after 243 yrs 'cuz they plan to do things we would shoot them for!

At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son

I dunno. We have perhaps millions of Orthodox Christians (as well as perhaps many others) who have been praying to God to destroy the coronavirus!!!!

Keep on praying!!!! This isn’t over yet!!!!

It is simple evolution and similar changes have been seen before. When the virus kills you it also means all the virus load dies as well. A virus that keeps you alive, lives on to spread to others. So natural selection prefers the virus that does not kill.

“Almost all human respiratory viruses mutate themselves out of existence after one year.”

The common cold and flu haven’t disappeared. You said “almost all” but you named almost none that have.

I’m not a Fearper but I don’t get your statement.
