ultra-infectious

They're saying "ultra-mega-infectious" for Upsilon.

Tell these "Doctors" that we're not impressed what they've learned from studying ONE patient.

Additionally, since they've FAILED so miserably in crying "wolf" when there was none, I've become accustomed to taking care of my own wolf protection needs.

Lol! He’s gonna die from it any day now, and it’s making his hand turn purple and causing him to tap his toes.

Oh my gosh! I was just thinking the same thing, do these medical people know the story of the boy who cried wolf?

When a wolf actually does appear, the villagers do not believe the boy’s cries for help, and the flock is destroyed. The moral of the story is that liars will not be rewarded; even if they tell the truth, no one believes them.

“...after examining an immunocompromised HIV patient who harbored the virus for half a year.>

Yes, let’s take this astronomically non-normative example of one in a disease that we know affects hundreds of millions of people and make our grant request before anyone else jumps on this.

Yesterday, I watched a herd of cows in a small pasture.

Most of them were laying down. A cow was standing with its hind legs backed up against one of the recumbent cows. The standing cow raised its tail and unleashed a torrent of brown material on the side of the recumbent cow.

This article drew my mind back to yesterday’s disgusting pastoral scene ...

Yeah - it’s going to mutate. Most say to a more weakened (less virulent) strain. Ya know - viruses only mutate to be less virulent.

Though realize - many times it is the host that changes. Examples in history may be with anthropologists or missionaries show up to some tribe with the cold and most of the tribe suffers from severe disease they caught from visitors.

Let’s hope omicron does not mutate from only infecting the upper respiratory tract to moving to the lower respiratory tract (severe disease).

Pfizer’s profits must be taking a worrisome downturn.

They have not shut down gain of function research which means they are fabricating the next pandemic to be released

Viruses used to mutate. Now they vary. Amazing how the terminology has changed to fit a particular narrative and create fear and ultimately, control.

The next one after that, will be “super more deadly”.

Don't worry, they're working on it:

Boston University researchers claim to have developed new, more lethal COVID strain in lab

.............by now on the subject of Covid, I’m so jaded that I immediately suspect CDC and Fauci paid these South African “researchers” to say this.

And CDC likely got the money from Pfizer and other drug companies.

they’ve been guessing from the beginning...a vaccine that does not prevent you from getting something...is not a vaccine at all.

Did Quackony Fauxi have his Wuhan Virus wranglers come up with a new “formulation” which will do severe harm to all who have been “vaccinated” with the mRNA serum? Doing the bidding of Kaiser Klaus, Yuval Noah Harari, Bill Gates and the rest of the “murder the useless eaters” crowd.

This word salad is bad even by tabloid standards.

"The finding came as a shock to the researchers, who hypothesized that strains of Covid-19 will become less virulent and infectious over time judging by the relative mildness of omicron compared to previous variants."

To quote Robert Fripp "Bollocks!"  That a single immune compromised individual could brew up potentially more virulent bugs isn't remotely a surprise to anyone, and this "journalist" manages to conflate that with the expected population-wide decrease in virulence over time that is the observable trajectory of every known viral respiratory pathogen.  These two things are different, and not in the least in conflict.

Then she manages to segue to China's current troubles, brought about in large part it would seem by their insane "zero covid" strategy.  Let's see where she goes with this, hmm....

In China, the daily case rate began to shoot upwards one month ago and this weekend hit 39,791 — nine in 10 of which were asymptomatic, according to data from the National Health Commission. The more Covid is permitted to spread, the more it can replicate and mutate. 

Dr Simon Clarke, a microbiologist based at the University of Reading, told MailOnline: 'Every single Covid infection presents the virus with an opportunity to change its characteristics.

'The idea that this only leads to decreased lethality is simply wrong; having effective population-wide immunity seems to have had a much more substantial protective effect, but compared to the vaccines used here it seems that China's is less effective, which might be contributing to their problem. 

Oh, well, is the Daily Mail finally coming out against lockdowns then?  No, of course not

The team’s findings do not bode well for the global response to the ongoing public health issue. 

And here it is:

The manuscript, published last week, does not indicate that the US must revert back to blanket mitigation measures such as compulsory masking.
 
But it bolsters government warnings that the pandemic remains a major public health issue.
 
This is more than mere sloppy journalisming.  It's the most recent example of the press' unending efforts to advance the current regime's party line without the slightest hat-tip to objective reality.
