As the US struggles to suppress the rapidly advancing coronavirus Delta variant, new evidence has emerged that the latest Lambda mutation — ravaging parts of South America — won’t be slowed by vaccines.

In a July 28 report appearing on bioRxiv, where the study awaits peer review prior to getting published, researchers in Japan are sounding the alarm on the C.37 variant, dubbed Lambda. And it’s proven just as virulent as Delta thanks to a similar mutation making them even more contagious.

The strain has been contained in 26 countries, including substantial outbreaks in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador.

“Notably, the vaccination rate in Chile is relatively high; the percentage of the people who received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine was [about] 60%,” the authors write.

That’s because it was created by the vaccine.

“study says” … “could be”…. BULL CRAP! The fear porn continues. “THEY” just want to keep the restrictions and their controls going.

Thank God we still have some leaders like Governor DeSantis to OPPOSE & RESIST!

It’s much more serious but we’ve had 911 cases versus 77,000 for Delta. Hm

This is never going to end. Even for those claiming to be avoiding the vaccines, others around you trying to do the same will eventually succumb.

Yep! Right on cue. That all but proves it. The “delta variant” has peaked. Time to roll out the NEXT one.

“Have you heard about the new Mu variant? It’s so bad that if you so much as LOOK at another person that has it, you’ll catch it!”. /s

After Lambda, I'm voting that the next scary bug be called The Variant Formely Known as Prince. This shall be its symbol.

RE: Notably, the vaccination rate in Chile is relatively high;

Yes, with the Chinese vaccines. How’s that working out?

“ That’s because it was created by the vaccine.”

You’re ALMOST as bad as the DemocRATS who blame it on Republicans who don’t go along with their TYRANNICAL controls, restrictions and masking! Of course, you’re blind to that … SADLY.

It is all preplanned fear campaign. The variants don't differ that much.

How do we know these “variants” aren’t being churned out by Chi-na.
