A new, fast-spreading variant of COVID-19 is sweeping across the nation, making it the most widely circulating iteration of the virus in the U.S. and around the world, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The mutation, called JN.1, is a subvariant of Omicron that was first detected by the World Health Organization in late August. At the time it appeared to be spreading slowly but as temperatures have dipped, JN.1 has spiked.

In mid-October, CDC data shows JN.1 made up about 0.1% of all COVID-19 cases around the country. As of Jan. 20, the CDC estimates that's now up to approximately 86%.

So wierd how all th3se mutations defy the normal process of getting weaker according to the left, and all the new mutations get labeled with “The Most”, “The Worst”, “The Most Danberous Yet” etc etc etc.

I notice what is missing from all the scare mongering articles on the new variants are death tolls. (Not thatnwe wouod trust them ever again to be h9nest about actual deaths, after their dishonest counting of deaths “due to strictly covid”)

“Which one is coming up next?”

I would guess just before the election.

“Nothing. I need to know nothing.”

You may get sick. There’s nothing you can do about it.

NPR... National Propaganda Radio

The biggest give away to this BS is when they state... “not enough Americans are vaccinated,”

Got it many weeks ago, so let’s move on. Does anyone really even care if I get a Winter cold for a few days?? Doubtful.

Fear porn. This “variant” is nothing that a combination of zinc as ion and a suitable Zn++ ionophore cannot suppress and either vastly reduce the severity, or avoid active symptoms altogether.

I don’t know what variant I had over the holidays, but I can totally relate to the fever, chills part. If this is what I had, it is no fun but completely manageable. Lots of liquids, plenty of rest, and be prepared to wash the sweat out of your bedclothes daily.

Age 73.

A government that cannot plainly and honestly tell me where this virus came from cannot be trusted with anything.

And I say this knowing full well it will upset Mr. Bidenโ€™s boss, President Xi.

COVID has a pandemic and then a dormancy cycle. It is a 4-year recurrence, though researchers don’t know why.

Here's what you need to know

Whenever you see that phrase in the headline, lies and propaganda abound in the body of the article.

So let me guess, the “current” covid vax concoction for Omicron variant XBB.1.5 released/approved 11 Sep 2023 JUST HAPPENS to be safe and effective against this variant known as JN.1.

WOW, Pfizer can produce vaccines for variants that haven’t been identified yet. Almost like they know what’s coming.

Sorry ain’t buying the BS.
