Dr. Fauci: These 2 new fast-spreading omicron Covid subvariants are ‘pretty troublesome’
cnbc ^ | 10/17/2022 | Annika Kim Constantino

As winter inches closer, Dr. Fauci is sounding the alarm about a pair of “pretty troublesome” Covid variants.

The two descendants of omicron’s BA.5 subvariant, called BQ.1 and BQ.1.1, both have dangerous “qualities or characteristics that could evade some of the interventions we have,” Fauci told CBS News on Friday. The two sublineages are responsible for more than 10% of all current U.S. cases, according to the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data — just one week after they weren’t even significant enough to list.

There’s no guarantee that the two strains will eventually overtake BA.5 as the dominant variant in the country. But if they do spread rapidly, they could threaten to reverse a nationwide decline in Covid cases, hospitalizations and deaths, leading Fauci to urge Americans against letting their guard down.

Has the miserable little gnome pontificated on what Boston University researchers are doing? Or is he paying them, too? Plus collecting royalties from their new virus design?

Buy the book: The Real Anthony Fauci..by Robert F. Kennedy

even better...watch the film of the same name
I think its available after the 20th October.

The study, which has yet to be peer-reviewed,

said “it’s entirely conceivable” that the U.S. will see enough of an uptick to encourage indoor masking nationwide again.

Everyone adequately terrified?

You forgot to mention that the 80% kill rate isn’t applicable to humans but to a specific type of mouse bred to have an impared immune system.

Maybe the very same eight mice they tested the vaccine booster on to get it approved?

And yet Beer Flu “cases” continue to decline, and Beer Flu “deaths” are flatlined for months if not declining. It’s just another strain of “The Cold” at this point. And all this with practically nobody strapping a diaper over their pie hole, or Socialist Distancing, or shutting down the world, or any of that other Faunocchio BS. To Hell with Faunocchio.

Not as troublesome as a lying, self-serving, appointee, in charge of a manufactured virus.

“The silence of the GOP” is typical. I’m about fed up with both parties. Most congressmen and senators go into congress as lawyers making maybe $200,000 per year and come out millionaires.

Prove me wrong. Please.

Because the Murderer Death Merchant Fauci invented more deadly diseases and released them, that is why. The one he developed in Boston is even worse. How is this even legal. Fauci need to be incarcerated immediately and permanently. He is killing millions.

That line from Thomas Becket came to mind also.
Of course, just joking. Fauci needs to go on trial.

Not directly creating them. The vaccines do that.

I can’t prove you wrong. The whole system is corrupted by money from top to bottom.

He would know.

I don’t doubt he oversaw the development of them.

Are they creating and releasing these new variants?

I'm assuming that's a rhetorical question.

Unfortunately, it looks like I am asking a rhetorical question, though not many seen to see it:
