New fast-spreading Covid variant may be more deadly than earlier versions, 'worrisome' study warns
UK Daily Mail ^ | January 08 2024 | CAITLIN TILLEY

A new Covid variant that is behind a resurgence in hospital admissions may be more deadly than previously thought, research suggests.

BA.2.86 — or 'Pirola' — is a mutation on the Omicron BA.2 subvariant and is the ancestor of the currently dominant JN.1, which is responsible for more than three in five Covid cases as of January 6.

Both strains have around 60 more spike protein mutations than the original coronavirus and over 30 more than other Omicron variants such as BA.2 and XBB.1.5.

Let me guess-—masks, booster #12,lockdowns and mail in voting are the only way for us to get past this horrible variant!

Only more dangerous to those who have been vaxxed. Immune imprinting could make it harder for the vaxxed to eliminate the virus from their body.

Clickbait. More deadly in the lab, but NOT in humans.

While lab tests have indicated that BA.2.86 is more severe, this has not been reflected in official data.

BA.2.86 started circulating in America in August 2023, but since then, Covid deaths have remained very low. In the last week of 2023, the CDC estimated there were 839 deaths due to the virus.

The Wuhan Cover-Up: Review of Bobby Kennedy’s Crucial Book
MERYL NASS JANUARY 1, 2024

The Wuhan Cover-Up gives you the facts, the history, and the understanding you need to grasp what is actually happening, right now.

If enough of us read it, we will gain the knowledge and strength in numbers to stop and defund the biowarfare industry, revoke these terrible laws, and lay down our deep, unconscious fears regarding contagion.

Why are all the people that claim the planet is over populated so concerned that a disease that will kill people? There is only one reason. It’s not about either. It’s a power grab.

No, I did not read the article, but I am sure an in depth study was performed to record the latest killer-covid-strain effects on the vaccinated, separating stats based on how many boosters the individual received, versus effects on those who chose not to get vaxxed at all. And I am sure all the information gathered is readily available and forthcoming for the rest of us with inquiring minds ;)

What’s really “worrisome” to the Marxists is the distinct probability that Biden will be crushed by President Trump in November.
More universal mailed ballots needed!

That’s not how viruses work, they mutate to become easier to spread, and LESS deadly. (As a dead host doesn’t usually spread the virus further).

If this new strain is deadlier, that means it’s a NEW virus they just cooked up.
