Future COVID variants could be more deadly, scientists warn

New COVID-19 variants that emerge could cause more serious illness and fatalities than previous strains, some scientists warn.

Though the Omicron variant had milder symptoms, that may not be the case for future strains, experts told the Guardian.

The two "Experts" in the article.

David Nabarro, a special envoy on Covid-19 for the World Health Organization, told the outlet. [He's made quite a career as an envoy to DGWHO it seems]

David Nabarro is also a global leader in the fields of climate change and food security. [Nice little sideline to fill in the off-hours of shilling for CovidScam.]

Warwick University Professor Lawrence Young denied that there’s a “linear evolution of the virus from Alpha to Beta to Delta to Omicron.”

“The idea that virus variants will continue to get milder is wrong. A new one could turn out to be even more pathogenic than the Delta variant, for example,” he told the Observer. [Gee, seems to contradict a lot of what CDC, MSM et al are saying, IIRC. But, hey...weird things can happen like "UNEXPECTED" noticeable increases in HIV/AIDS cases, right?]

[Lawrence Young also recently was appointed as a scientific 'advisior' to Abingdon Health who also make convenient home test kits, etc. Nope. There's nothing but unbridled "good intentions" for humanity in either of these two, IMO."]

Agreed I’ve expressed same sentiment and wondered many a time, apparently nuclear is not OK, but bioweapons are. Huh

“that may not be the case for future strains”

Or that MAY BE the case.

Sheesh.

“We could be hit by a colossal meteor.

Or not.”

++++++

I think the next hit will be on our communication systems. Suddenly the peons will have trouble communicating at all, while the “politicians, elite and well-connected” will have special military-type communication systems. The truckers freedom protest shows the danger to governments when the people can organize and coordinate large protests.

There is a reason that churches and bars were two of the places first closed down two years ago. They did not want like-minded people gathering together and sharing information.

Of course, any such “attack” will probably be blamed on terrorists (of the white-supremacy type).

Or mostly the same but with 5% more sneezes.

Or less.

The never ending war in Orwell’s 1984

“The war, therefore if we judge it by the standards of previous wars, is merely an imposture. It is like the battles between certain ruminant animals whose horns are incapable of hurting one another. But though it is unreal it is not meaningless. It eats up the surplus of consumable goods, and it helps to preserve the special mental atmosphere that the hierarchical society needs. War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair. In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact. The very word “war,” therefore, has become misleading. It would probably be accurate to say that by becoming continuous war has ceased to exist. The peculiar pressure that is exerted on human beings between the Neolithic Age and the early twentieth century has disappeared and has been replaced by something quite different. The effect would be much the same if the three superstates, instead of fighting one another, should agree to live in perpetual peace, each inviolate within its own boundaries. For in that case each would still be a self-contained universe, freed forever from the sobering influence of external danger. A peace that was truly permanent would be the same as a permanent war. This—although the vast majority of Party members understand it only in a shallower sense—is the inner meaning of the Party slogan: WAR IS PEACE.”

― George Orwell, 1984

Nothing about COVID is really about COVID. It’s all about how far they can push us and how we respond. It’s all about control and the power freaks.

I’m holding out for “Future variants will make you irresistible to the hot chicks.” But, having turned 70, I think the colossal meteor strike is more plausible.

I’m waiting to hear that the next variant will drink all of our beer.

Unless, of course, we are talking of the deadly “Mid-term 2022” variant that requires mail-in voting only.

100% correct. Without mail-ins the rat goose is cooked.

Wow. Just wow. Such desperation.

But, then again, this will keep the Covidiots compliant & masked perpetually.

It will be interesting to see how many masks I see after 3/31 here...especially considering that they have a full month & a half to gaslight the simpletons among us.

So Fauci/China have more deadly versions of the Fauci/China biological warfare virus ready to launch.

Good to know.

Flu comes around every year. Some are worse, some more mild.

Never had a flu shot. Don’t plan to start now.

One thing; if you haven’t had the covid vaccine, you can always change your mind and get vaxed. If you are covid vaxed, however, you cannot get unvaxed. That pony left the barn.

“The ext thing they spring on us will involve hemorrhaging”>

They have actually hinted at that for awhile. Then yesterdays FR article from a whistle blower confirming it.

No bio-weapons labs have been shut down that I have heard about.

And get your iodine pills before the next panic buy.

“There will be more variants after Omicron and if they are more transmissible they will dominate. In addition, they may cause different patterns of illness, in other words they may turn out to be more lethal or have more long-term consequences,” David Nabarro, a special envoy on Covid-19 for the World Health Organization, told the outlet.

That right there is what you need to know.

LOL.........Exactly who qualifies as an expert?

I think I will now call myself an expert in anything I feel like.

The simple answer, based on years of FR articles, this was a joint venture.
