The World Health Organization on Friday assigned the Greek letter omicron to a newly identified Covid variant in South Africa.
The U.N. health agency recognized the strain, previously referred to as lineage B.1.1.529, as a variant of concern.
Health experts are deeply concerned about the transmissibility of the omicron variant given that it has an unusual constellation of mutations and a profile that is different from other variants of concern.
“Omicron, B.1.1.529, is named as a variant of concern because it has some concerning properties,” Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s technical lead on Covid-19, said in a video published on Twitter. “This variant has a large number of mutations, and some of these mutations have some worrying characteristics.”

The organization only labels Covid strains as variants of concern when they’re more transmissible, more virulent or more adept at eluding public health measures including vaccines and therapeutics. Data presented at a briefing Thursday hosted by South Africa’s Department of Health indicates that some of omicron’s mutations are connected with improved antibody resistance, which could reduce the protection offered by vaccines.
Certain mutations could also make omicron more contagious, while others haven’t been reported until now, preventing researchers from understanding how they could impact the strain’s behavior, according to a presentation at the briefing.
“Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant, as compared to other VOCs,” the WHO said in a statement released Friday.

⚠️My god—the new #B11259 variant being possibly ~500% more competitively infectious is the most staggering stat yet. Also, #NuVariant has more than >2x the number of bad spike mutations than Delta. Here’s an updated 🧵👇

This crap sounds more and more like a weapon than a naturally occurring “virus”.
Getting off on fear porn again?
“Getting off on fear porn again?”

I already signed up for noodling classes and bought a new dually after you questioned my manhood this morning, maybe you can just let me own my effeminate fear and work it out on my own, eh?
Midterm variant...could see this coming a mile away.
The 2024 variant is next.
Pronounced ahm-ni-crom
Use it in a sentence:
"Hey man, I need an Omnicron booster shot...QUICK!"
Oh, FFS. Coronaviruses mutate all the time, and have been doing so since long before anyone even knew what a virus was. Until the recent hysteria, though, nobody cared if there was a new cold going around.
We’re gonna run out of Greek letters.
5.56mm
I’m calling it the Omigod variant.
When you get right down to it, all the WHO has to do these days is come up with a real fearsome name, categorize a few scattered pneumonia cases as the new “variant,” and send out a press release.
The worldwide Leftist media and politicians take care of the rest.
“Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant, as compared to other VOCs,” the WHO said in a statement released Friday.”
They are getting ahead of the breakthrough infection issue this time.
“This variant has a large number of mutations, and some of these mutations have some worrying characteristics.”
They tell us the scary part but no details on why. Uncertainty is worse than knowing what is bad. They don’t miss a trick.
Wait, let me get this straight. Is there any concern?
Fauci, Schumer and that freakin witch from hell are licking their chops and rubbing their hands together....ALL GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN! This is the same crap they pulled before the great steal!These aholes will NEVER GO Quietly without a fight. China is getting away with murder...They are not being held accountable! All the countries are terrified of China freaking insane and infuriating
No worries!!!
Per the $hot $hills the US is over 60% jabbed.
The rest of the population will be fine, with robust immune systems.
What’s the death rate, so far? The REAL death rate. Not the FRAUDci/Brandon one.
The WHO frauds skipped over Xi in Greek alphabet..wonder why
...some day. (Unless Jesus comes before that day.)
So will Abbott FINALLY CLOSE THE FREAKIN BORDER?? Dipstick!
The “2022 Election Variant,” and the only cure is mandatory mail in ballots.
WTH?
A few hours ago the new dangerous mutation was Nu, and a single case in SA.
Next thing we know they’ll say they found it here in the US in a sample taken the week before Thanksgiving and set the stage for the next ‘surge’...
We all knew this was coming.
smh
“They are getting ahead of the breakthrough infection issue this time.”

That’s a good point, and like JennysCool was alluding to, I don’t know how you trust what they call “science.”
Even if they don’t fake the data, their ability to spin it up into any tale they want to is unmatched.
