Ladies, turn the panicked look in the eyes of your triple masked faces up to 11!

Senior citizens, turn it up to 12!

I thought the new big fear was the Botswana variant.

Yep and this one..B.1.1.1.529 has “32” variants that could be resistant to immunity and vaccines.

Good grief! They’re sending up the red flags for yet another lockdown.

yawn ... yet another scariant. I suppose that it does sound frightening to those who have been vaccinated and are beginning to strongly suspect that the shot that was supposed to protect them has done the opposite and weakened their immune systems.

I repeat, making an effective vaccine against the Coronavirus is like trying to nail jello to the wall. The virus mutates with such rapidity that a vaccine that is effective for the first year will be useless in three years. I’ve said this all along. WHO should have asked a veterinarian that has been fighting Coronaviruses their entire careers. The only way out of this is to manage it and allow it to become commonplace within society. Natural immunity is far better protective against variants than is a vaccine aimed a a type that is rapidly becoming obsolete within the population.The fear mongers haven’t exploited the Influenza and Adenovirus strains that are coming in the near future.

WHO might. The US government has great influence on WHO.
Most countries don’t, certainly not enough for them to take an economic hit for that reason.
