Study finds 4 new, possibly antibody-resistant COVID-19 strains in NYC sewage
WCBS ^ | 7/31/21 | Mack Rosenberg

Posted on 08/01/2021 10:30:21 AM PDT by JonPreston

A recent study, funded in part by New York City, showed evidence of four additional COVID-19 variants in the city’s wastewater.

A team of researchers from two CUNY schools, the New School and the University of Missouri collected samples of sewage from 14 wastewater plants across the five boroughs as part of their study, which was published Thursday.

They concluded that there are four new mutations which have scarcely been found in regular testing and seem to be resistant to antibodies – something that could reduce the effectiveness of vaccines.

This article reminds me of something I read last year about waste water and plumbing

No big deal. We'll just all be fitted with insulin type pumps that are load with 'vaccines' instead.

Extreme sarcasm meant for the Free Republic vaxx Karens who get triggered over anything that does not fit their vaccine world-view.

Well that ought to be enough to make it through the 2022 mid terms.

Quick, print up a gazillion ballots to mail out to people who don’t exist

Here’s (another) dumb question...

From the standpoint of reducing risk from the China Virus, which is better:

To take one of the vaccines, or to have contracted one of the Covid strains and recovered?

Great!

They can now isolate and incubate it before introducing it to the population!

Damn… I’m going to tell my wife we’re going to have to cancel this coming week’s trip to NYC to swim in their wastewater.

New CDC guideline: Children must be fully vaccinated before they can play in the sewer.

Even six months before those articles…

How can the coronavirus spread through bathroom pipes? Experts are investigating in Hong Kong.

February 12, 2020 was right after it started ramping up and we hardly had any spread at all.

No shot for me. This article should convince some that they aren’t the answer. I’m going with the assumption I will catch COVID and that I’ll fight it from the comfort of my home. My chance of survival are 95% (+/-) I don’t see how one can avoid an airborne virus like this indefinitely.

The Deep State is milking this virus for all it’s worth. By September of next year there will a thousand “variants” of this flu bug and the scaremongering will be on a epic scale heading to the midterms and more excuses for nationwide mail-in balloting.

Oh boy, Fecal fear again. Saw a photo of a guy in a grocery store last year with a sign on his back that read, “If you can smell my farts you are too close. STAY BACK!”

Seems like the key word here is “fecal”.

“Gotta keep the fear porn going, eh?”

Well that’s certainly the agenda but as far as I’m concerned I gave up following this sort of bullah*t months and months ago. I honestly believe only the most ignorant and naturally fearful people pay much attention to this anymore.

KInda reminds me of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”

How many other ‘viruses’ are the sewer system harbouring? I’d bet millions/billions. And they were so lucky to isolate 4 covid strains??? Very fine scientific work people.
