As COVID-19 cases continue to rise nationwide, a new variant dubbed “Pirola” has experts worried.
Also referred to as BA.2.86, Pirola is a highly mutated variant of the Omicron strain of the coronavirus, which emerged in 2021 and led to a frightful spike in COVID-19 cases and deaths.
“When Omicron hit in the winter of 2021, there was a huge rise in COVID-19 cases because it was so different from the Delta variant, and it evaded immunity from both natural infection and vaccination,” infectious disease specialist Dr. Scott Roberts said in a Yale Medicine bulletin.

As my son saw on Quora: Imagine a virus so smart it shows up every 4 years... The picture had the guy from the Twilight Zone...
Liberals, F you...We won't be fooled again...
Don’t care
“Experts” are just mass murderers who didn’t get their Nurembirg trial yet
Part of the reason they never admit that is because it makes it painfully obvious that most early variants were engineered in a lab.
Covid hit in early 2020.
Biden’s virus.
Bullshit.
