Fears arise that Lambda COVID-19 variant from Peru may be resistant to vaccines

Scientists fear that a highly contagious new COVID-19 variant that is ravaging Peru may be resistant to vaccines.

The Lambda mutation, or C.37, appears to have emerged in Peru last August — and is now being blamed for the country having the highest pandemic death rate in the world.

The concerning strain has since spread to around 30 countries, mostly in Latin America — but also as far as the UK, which has recorded at least eight cases, according to government figures.

There are no known cases of the Lambda strain in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In Peru, Lambda has accounted for 81 percent of new infections tested for variants since April, according to the World Health Organization.

The South American nation currently has by far the highest mortality rate in the world, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

There, nearly 10 percent of those recorded as being infected end up dying — with the death rate of nearly 600 for every 100,000 citizens almost double that of the next nation, Hungary, the data shows. The US is 21st with just under 185 deaths per 100,000.

“Our data show for the first time that mutations present in the spike protein of the Lambda variant confer escape to neutralizing antibodies and increased infectivity,” wrote the researchers from the University of Chile in Santiago.

That could explain why it has been able to take hold despite Chile “undergoing a massive vaccination program,” the study warned.

“Considering that this variant has rapidly spread in Peru, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina, we believe that Lambda has a considerable potential to become a variant of concern,” they concluded in the preprint paper that has yet to be peer-reviewed.

I had ordered NAC on Amazon awhile back.

Searched on Amazon and it isn’t listed on their website. It doesn’t even show up on my “previous orders” list. I ordered some more at Swanson Vitamins or something.

Well, Lambda-dambda-D-dong - since the “D-variant” ain’t scaring people enough, the “Lambda” one, all spelled out, will surely make everyone more compliant....can’t wait for the “Hurricane Zeta Variant” - It’ll blow us all away.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it runs virtually all the way to the Mark of the Beast

“Sorry, but there are a numerous of cases that show a person who had COVID got sick again...This is a bioengineered virus...not a typical rhinovirus”

Correction. There are numerous cases of recovered testing POSITIVE for Covid within a 3 month period....One can test positive for up to 3 months. However, the symptoms are very mild to asymptomatic IF they catch covid again and is very, very rare.

The FDA is “regulating” NAC and “Swanson” is the only place I can find it. If the FDA has a “problem” with it, then it must work.

In case you have problem getting NAC you can get it from PureBulk tel. 888 280 0050 located at Roseburg OR. And their prices are very reasonable. They are reliable and ship promptly.

It is that good and beneficial that the FDA doesn’t want you to get your hands on it. But there are still several places you can get it. One of those is listed above from where I usually get my supplies. Amongst other things, should you use NAC always use it in conjunction with three times as much vitamin C.

Amazon reportedly removed NAC-containing dietary supplements, the move comes nine months after FDA stated its position in warning letters that NAC couldn’t be lawfully sold in a dietary supplement because the ingredient was first approved as a drug in 1963.

Overweight in my mid-70s. I take my regular adult multi-vitamin daily that I've taken for decades.

I don't wear a mask, social distance or lockdown. I haven't altered my lifestyle at all. IOW, I don't do sh*t differently.

Was tested for covid last week during my annual medical checkup with my doctor. Negative.

So it's possible to do nothing and still not get covid. Too much hyperbole and hysteria about this corona virus. It's here to stay. Learn to live with it like everything else in life.

I'm just sayin'....

I would like a breakdown of exactly what the mutations are and exactly how they cause those effects.

Fauci says the unvaccinated are going to have to mask up or move into gymnasiums all across the country.

Please provide a link to the gymnasium reference.

Eventually they’ll run out of countries and variants.


When we get to the double plus ungood omega variant, it’s all over.
