The nation’s top infectious diseases expert says a coronavirus variant designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a “variant of interest” this week doesn’t pose an immediate threat to the U.S., but health officials are watching it closely.
The variant, labelled “mu,” has been detected in 39 countries in South America and Europe and was first identified in Colombia earlier this year. As of Aug. 29, 4,500 sequences of the variant have been reported, making up less than 0.1 percent of sequenced cases.
“We certainly are aware of the mu variant. We’re keeping a very close eye on it,” Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during a news briefing Thursday.
“But it is not at all even close to being dominant. As you know, the delta [variant] is more than 99 percent dominant,” Fauci said.
Fauci said the variant has a constellation of mutations that suggest it could evade certain antibodies, but emphasized more research needs to be done to determine if that’s the case.

Good morning, by the way.
Waiting for his royalty check, no doubt.
The Xiden variant will be really bad.
For sure. His eye is on his wallet.
Yup, if Fraudski first smelt it, he dealt it.
To quote Ike Clanton “Yeah, I hope you die.”
They needed this in their back pocket in case college football broke it off in them this weekend, which it did
He’s introducing his next masterpeice
His eyes are very close together. Like a rat.

The joy was palpable and fear porn took a big hit.
The little emperor wasn’t wearing any clothes, after all.
It’s his baby.
If it’s a baby, its name is Damien.
For those who have taken the immune system altering “vaccine”, the booster shots will be coming soon; hopefully by September 20th, if not shortly thereafter. The booster is needed to stem the impacts from the strength of the Delta variant created by the vaccine designed for the original COVID-19 virus. The Delta booster will address the mutation of the virus, created by the vaccine.
Additionally, preliminary data on the “Mu variant” indicates it has a higher level of antibody resistance than the Delta variant; which Fauci infers could mean another booster, a “Mu booster” to supplement the booster for the first variant, Delta, which is needed as a result of COVID-19 virus resistance to the first round of vaccines…
When the injections don’t work....just blame it on another variant.
What I find interesting is that you hear about the vaccinated and unvaccinated catching the covid. But what you don’t hear are stats on those who have natural immunity, those who truly caught the virus and recovered. Silence. That subject is ignored. They are lumped in with the unvaccinated. Why?
Keep a close eye? The world breathes a sigh of relief.
I have as much faith and trust in our government public health leaders and elites as I do the Executive, Military, Foreign Policy and Intelligence leaders and elites who brought us the Fall of Kabul.
Boy, I feel better now. S/O Just to know that the god-man is on this.
Did we find it??
Why doesn’t Fauci release HCQ/Zinc and Ivermectin with an emergency use permit to treat Covid to make it readily available for prescription or OTC?
We are the LIVING GAIN OF FUNCTION!
