Dominant Delta variant ‘may mutate itself into extinction’, scientists say

The Delta Covid variant may mutate itself into self-extinction and has already done so in one part of the world, scientists claim.

Japan is recording an insignificant 140 cases a day despite being riddled with the Delta strain only three months ago.

Japan endured its largest Covid wave in the late summer, with cases peaking at around 23,000 a day in August.

But the wave came to an abrupt standstill and has almost completely fizzled out, with the capital Tokyo recording just 16 new cases on Friday.

When the US does like Japan does - shift focus on Ivermectin.

Delta dominant, what’s your RNA that’s so prominent:
Could it be a Wuhan virus from days gone by?
And did I hear you say you’re gonna send the vaxxed today
Up into that mansion in the sky?

I think they’re preparing an exit strategy. With anti-lockdown riots all over the world, they’re getting a little nervous.

In a just world, there would be no exit for what has been perpetrated.

If we weren’t encouraging the virus to mutate via vaccinations which only detect a single specific protein then we’d have an opportunity to build a more robust natural immunity. Japan’s experience seems to prove this theory.

We appear to be on-track to require the booster shot for the original alpha/beta variants. Probably not going to be much use against today’s Delta and even less useful against tomorrow’s Zeta, Eta of Theta.

The US won’t do it. Moderna and Pfizer both have their own pill...at 70 bucks a pop. Way too much money to be made. And besides, horse dewormer and all. It’s for your safety ;)

But masks and vaccines will still be mandated.

“The Delta Covid variant may mutate itself into self-extinction and has already done so in one part of the world, scientists claim.”

So THAT’S what the boosters are for—keeping the variants strong!

Meanwhile, let’s destroy the economy, government and societal trust by forcing vaccines on everyone

This chart answers a question I was going to ask. Yes, the big drop follows Ivermectin. Did Japan also include ZINC? Of course, with a high seafood diet they may not need much zinc generally. Also, does anyone know if their high seaweed use and therefore IODINE consumption helps? Is there further info on HCQ and zinc elsewhere?

Fake. Japan has still not approved ivermectin for Covid. Look it up.

The CDC tracks predominance of variants. Delta became predominant in the US in early June of this year. Case totals and deaths had declined to a bare minimum. At that time.

THEY REMAINED A BARE MINIMUM for 5-6 weeks.

A ramp up of cases and deaths began mid to late July. There was hand waving over heads about a Delta surge, but the timelines don’t work. There was over a month between time of 90%+ predominance and surge, and there is no rule of the universe it needed to be over 90% to create cases. Should be able to do that at 70% or 80%.

Bottom line. The summer surge has a timeline that does not say “this happened because Delta arrived”. It got underway long after Delta arrived. Like most surges and declines of this virus, the is no solid explanation.

The same is true in Japan. Forget all this stuff. No one knows why the virus spikes deaths and then declines them. This summer surge in cases and deaths had plenty of people vaxed. Didn’t matter.

The bad news is another surge is forming and last week the death count began to align with cases. Winter has arrived.

The ChiCom’s can’t launch a second Virus for their Communist Revolution. It would be like the second plane hitting the Twin Towers. I’m sure they will think of something else in the meanwhile.

If we sent the people that we have doctoring our data and statistics over to Japan... they too could have a resurgence of whatever they wanted.
