Unvaccinated people are 'variant factories,' infectious diseases expert says
Time ^ | 7/3/2021 | Maggie Fox, CNN

Unvaccinated people do more than merely risk their own health. They're also a risk to everyone if they become infected with coronavirus, infectious disease specialists say. That's because the only source of new coronavirus variants is the body of an infected person. "Unvaccinated people are potential variant factories," Dr. William Schaffner, a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told CNN Friday.

"The more unvaccinated people there are, the more opportunities for the virus to multiply," Schaffner said.

When it does, it mutates, and it could throw off a variant mutation that is even more serious down the road."

All viruses mutate, and while the coronavirus is not particularly mutation-prone, it does change and evolve. Most of the changes mean nothing to the virus, and some can weaken it. But sometimes, a virus develops a random mutation that gives it an advantage -- better transmissibility, for instance, or more efficient replication, or an ability to infect a great diversity of hosts.

Viruses with an advantage will outcompete other viruses, and will eventually make up the majority of virus particles infecting someone. If that infected person passes the virus to someone else, they'll be passing along the mutant version.

There are people who have irrational fears. For example, Howie Mandel has germaphobia, and has been using therapy to cope with his obsessive compulsive disorder that includes mysophia, the pathological fear of germs and contamination.

I for one do not have an irrational fear about the COVID virus. It’s a practical matter to want to use birth-control techniques to run this virus to extinction.

False
There is no specific immunity to a new virus. After recovery from one you get specific immunity. In some cases in others T cell memory is gained.

There is natural unspecific immunity that makes one survive a new virus. Without it any new virus can wipe a any species.

BS.

Vaccine escape is caused by vaccinating people during an epidemic.

TPTB are causing the variants themselves by pushing their so-called vaccine during an actual outbreak but need a scapegoat to blame shift onto.

This trying to turn people against the unvaccinated is evil.

So tired of the cowardice. Where I live the masks are no longer required indoors but guess what? Many losers are still wearing them. Ridded with fear, I guess. Or is it virtue signalling?

Where I live, nearly all whites and hispanics are mask-free, while most Blacks have them on. Just sad, but not surprising given how they are so easily misled by Democrats every election (especially black females)

We always figured that the deaths from the vax would be attributed to a so-called variant.

So here they are, blaming variants on what is likely vax deaths.

These errant Spike Proteins may be due to a production glitch, like what happened when the Polio vaccine was first given. I am sure the vaccine producers know what is happening and are working to tighten us their processes. Progress rarely comes without problems. The Space Shuttle is a good example.

Actually, some of the vaccine experts sounding the alarm about the Covid ‘vaccines’ have stressed that you never vaccinate during a pandemic because the vaccinated create mutations and can do so to the point that a new strain emerges that escapes detection by the immune system.

Leave it to the Deep State to lie about this.
Dr. Yeadon, former Chief Science Officer for Pfizer’s Allergy and Infectious Diseases division, said that a researcher located those who’d had SARS1 in 2003 and tested them this year, with that original SARS1 virus. Those people were still immune, after 17 years.

The researcher then tested those people with SARS2 (Covid). Those people were immune. There is ‘only’ a 22% difference in the genomes between Sars1 and Sars2 and so immunity held.

But note those ill in 2003 did not maintain active antibodies for 17 years. Their immune sytem hibernated those (my words) antibodies until it recognized the pathogen from years ago and began producing antibodies.

There are two wings to the immune system and Big Pharma is focusing on ‘active antibodies’ as if that is an accurate indicator of immunity. It actually means ‘activated immunity’, when you may have immunity but haven’t been exposed in so long you don’t have the antibodies.

Dr. Yeadon says the ‘variants’ are no more than 1% or 2% different from Covid and those who’ve had Covid will be immune to the variants.

The Deep State just wants a repeat performance, They want to put us through the lockdowns and panic as if it never happened before; they like the way we obeyed and want to see it again. Only this time they are going to punish those who called them out on their lies. :(

people who use the nearly meaningless term “virtue signaling” are virtue signaling.

So JohnBrowdie: Are you calling yourself a "virtue signaller?"

I dont care. I guess you will have to continue wearing a mask to protect your vaccinated self from me.

The big danger would be the ChiComs releasing a more deadly strain. They were a step away from doing that.

A few months back Bill Gates said the next virus version would be more deadly. With his published intention to bring down the world's population by 10-15% using vaccines, can this be considered a threat? Should the leaders of assorted nations kowtow to the wishes of the global oligarchs under the penalty of massive loss of life of their citizens?
