Beyond Omicron: what’s next for COVID’s viral evolution
Nature ^ | 12/7/21

Posted on 12/07/2021 1:41:51 PM PST by BusterDog

How SARS-CoV-2 evolves over the next several months and years will determine what the end of this global crisis looks like — whether the virus morphs into another common cold or into something more threatening such as influenza or worse. A global vaccination push that has delivered nearly 8 billion doses is shifting the evolutionary landscape, and it’s not clear how the virus will meet this challenge. Meanwhile, as some countries lift restrictions to control viral spread, opportunities increase for SARS-CoV-2 to make significant evolutionary leaps.

FauXi and the CDC and Xi and Soros made certain
that the ATROCITY VIRUS they made had HIV, HepC
and antiHUMANovarian segments.

given the millions of LAB RATS [”human victims”]
and the fast evolving viruses, all kinds of killer
strains will evolve.

A NEW NOBEL PRIZE FOR FAUXI.

MORE ROYALTIES FOR CDC.

DEATH FOR AMERICA.

NWO wins.

From article:

If the virus evolved in this way, it might become less severe, but that outcome is far from certain. “There’s this assumption that something more transmissible becomes less virulent. I don’t think that’s the position we should take,” says Balloux. Variants including Alpha, Beta and Delta have been linked to heightened rates of hospitalization and death — potentially because they grow to such high levels in people’s airways. The assertion that viruses evolve to become milder “is a bit of a myth”, says Rambaut. “The reality is far more complex.”

“Science has been replaced by narratives.”

I think it’s turned out it was mostly narratives all along, we just figured it out.

shifting the evolutionary landscape

/\

If by that you mean

Leaky Vaccines that turn every Petri dish body it’s injected into that adds to the ever increasing millions of chances to ade into gawdacron variants to sicken even more millions for political profit and not an individual’s health betterment,,,

Then yes, it is.

Aka

Nuremberg Code Violations

X millions of counts.

And how much Dr. Fauci can profit. This virus is the best thing that ever happened to that punk which is probably why he had it released. Rand Paul was talking the other day how Fauci is now involved with a virus with a 50% mortality rate. Covid has a 1% and nobody is doing anything about him.

You can almost hear the author’s sigh of disappointment that omicron may just be a relatively harmless false alarm; he’s already looking past it. He wants a new really bad variant, and he knows who he’s going to blame it on.

“Rand Paul was talking the other day how Fauci is now involved with a virus with a 50% mortality rate.”

If true, then fauci and his cohorts all need to be brought up on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity and publicly executed in the most brutal and sadistic way possible.

How Covid evolves will determine nothing. Politics will determine how Covid can be used. All they need is the ability to find Covid whenever they test for it. After a while they will be testing for the Common Cold variant and they will always be able to find enough “cases” to keep us under their thumbs.

The next variant, if deadlier, will skip back to Xi just to mess with people.

Oh, stop already.

Omicron hasn’t even been out more than a couple weeks and they are already hyperventilating about new, as yet unknown “variants”.

Which virus has a 50% mortality rate?

Ebola? Smallpox?
