lol So we can't call it "China" when it's from China, but we can call it "UK" when it's from... China.

Okay, that's it. I'm officially too old to keep up with this crap.

Has the vaccine already been formulated for the mutation? I bet not, or at least that’s what we’re going to be told.

Did anyone already know that everything mutates (evolves), even non-living viruses.

Often virulence is lost and communicability enhanced because it is better to reproduce than to kill.

Chances of the mutation fooling the vaccine are small.

UNLAX!

The above undermines public confidence in universities and research itself, and rightly so, because it indicates today’s science is driven not by truth-seeking but by ideology. Further, it undermines public trust in the people who attempt to use this corrupted means to control our lives.

Science has been bastardized and taken out of its rightful place to run all sorts of scams on people. That’s because it has earned an authority from being trustworthy and replicable, for revealing useful truths about the world for centuries, contributing to the West’s many civilizational triumphs.

Mass manipulators seize this earned authority as a tool for controlling people. Decent people follow right along for a time, unaware of how science has been hijacked, and that’s how the mass manipulators win for a time.

But the more they use this trick, the more they erode the authority science developed for itself through honesty and patience. Citizens are increasingly aware that what “the science says” is a lie, even if they aren’t always aware of exactly what’s causing this. Instead of taking these legitimate concerns seriously, elites sneer at Americans for being ignorant rubes and “science deniers.”

These elites shouldn’t be surprised that their lack of concern for scientific integrity undermines not only one reliable way for learning truth, but also the legitimacy of their governance based on lies.

Trust us! We are scientists!

The mutation impacts transmission of the virus, not the immune system’s response to it. In other words, it will spread more readily between persons, but the same immune response kills it. The vaccine works by preparing that immune response so that instead of being a week behind when infection happens, the body can immediately overwhelm the invader with a specifically formulated response.

In other words, the vaccine still works.

Who gives a rats?

Reporting “new” cases is nonsense. How many died, now that is a true measure.

So when the news reports :XXXX new cases were diagnosed today. . .” Ignore it. It is the number of deaths that’s a true measure.

Have 1,000 cases and the next day you have 1,000,000 cases (but no deaths), big whoop.

Hype and fear mongering is the favored approach by dems and media.

There is no clinical evidence that this COVID mutation is any more dangerous than any other COVID variant. Shakespeare would have something to say about much to do about nothing

.....”How many died, now that is a true measure”....

I think that as well.....additionally if they already have other contributing factors which lowers their ability to fight it off.
