Via google translate: And the next step is a combination? It is inevitable. It is the next phase of the pandemic when Beta or Gamma become more infectious or Delta develops escape mutations. That will be the big problem for the coming year. Covid-22 could get worse than what we are experiencing now. How can we respond to this? If such a variant appears, we have to recognize it as early as possible and the vaccine manufacturers have to adapt the vaccine quickly. The emergence of this new variant is the big risk. We have to prepare for it. What...

Abuja, Nigeria (CNN)Coronavirus deaths in Africa rose rapidly over the past month, as fatalities surged by 80 percent within the last four weeks, the World Health Organization has said.

Israel’s coronavirus czar Salman Zarka said on Wednesday that Israel is at war with COVID as Israel grapples with a mounting fatality rate.Israel has confirmed over 120 coronavirus deaths in the past week alone, twice the number of deaths in the entire month of July and over 15 times the number of deaths in the month of June.Speaking at a hearing of the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee regarding restrictions intended to quell the virus outbreak, Zarka said: “I think that we’re in a real war. We’re in a critical situation until erev Rosh Hashana or chalilah, the coronavirus...

Variant garners attention after deadly Belgian nursing home outbreakIt doesn't yet have a Greek letter to represent it, but the B.1.621 variant of COVID-19 is being eyed closely after its role in a deadly nursing home outbreak in Belgium. Originally detected in Colombia in January, B.1.621 was recently named a "variant of interest" by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control -- though neither the World Health Organization nor the CDC has elevated it to this status just yet. B.1.621 has been detected in the U.S., though it (along with version B.1.621.1) currently accounts for just about 1% of...

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon’s governor said Friday she will send up to 1,500 National Guard troops to hospitals around the state to assist healthcare workers who are being pushed to the brink by a surge of COVID-19 cases driven by the Delta variant.Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, said the first group of 500 Guard members will be deployed next Friday to serve as material and equipment runners in the most stricken hospitals and to help with COVID-19 testing, among other things. Troops will be sent to 20 hospitals around Oregon.There are 733 people hospitalized with the virus in Oregon...

New Zealand has announced a snap lockdown after a man tested positive for Covid, the first case in six months.The case was detected in Auckland, which will be in lockdown for a week, while the rest of the country will be in lockdown for three days. Authorities say they are working on the assumption that the new case was the Delta variant.Just around 20% of its population has been fully vaccinated.Coromandel, a coastal town where the infected person had visited, will be in lockdown for seven days too.Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the toughest "level 4" rules were required -...

Recently, INSERM researchers produced a peer review assessment with disturbing implications for those who keep an open mind to what could occur as the pandemic and mass vaccination programs unfold worldwide. The France-based team of investigators cautions public health authorities, academia, and the pharmaceutical industry that risks are associated with current vaccination programs. That is, first and foremost, the team detects infection-enhancing antibodies in symptomatic COVID-19. But that also antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) represents a concern for the current crop of vaccine products while enhancing antibodies recognize both the Wuhan (wild-type) as well as delta variant of interest. Moreover, they indicate...

This former Pfizer Doctor and VP tell us the maximum difference between all the variants from the origanal Covid 19 is .03 He warns people that the Covid passports will be used to force people to do things they may not want to do. If they do not comply, then their passport will be turned off. It was not too long ago the media and politicans were saying the Covid pasports were conspiracy theory. Well it is soon to be a reality.

The Washington Post reports today that not only is the so-called “Delta variant” in full swing, causing sphincters to go flaccid in some parts of the country, but now something much worse is on the horizon.South Korea’s Disease Control and Prevention Agency said Tuesday that it had recorded at least two cases of the new coronavirus delta-plus variant, which some experts believe to be more transmissible than the original delta variant that was first detected in India and has since thwarted plans for returning to life before the pandemic.But what do we know about “delta plus,” yet another new variant...

Coronavirus Variants: What’s Next?Coronavirus variants: Escape from antibody classes 1 to 3 (SPR, based on Greaney et al.) Published: July 1, 2021Share on: Twitter / FacebookSo far, no variant has achieved escape from all three major antibody classes.Please note: This is a scientific analysis; it does not support “fear mongering”.Existing coronavirus variants – including the British, South African, Brazilian and Indian variants – have shown some gradual changes in infectiousness, virulence, and immune escape. Relative transmission advantages are often only transitory, until collective immunity has caught up.Some of the existing variants – notably the South African, Brazilian (P1), Nepalese and...

New Delhi: French virologist and Nobel Prize winner Luc Montagnier called mass vaccination against the coronavirus during the pandemic “unthinkable” and a historical blunder that is “creating the variants” and leading to deaths from the disease, LifeSite News reported. “It”s an enormous mistake, isn’t it? A scientific error as well as a medical error. It is an unacceptable mistake,” Montagnier said in an interview translated and published by the RAIR Foundation US. “The history books will show that, because it is the vaccination that is creating the variants,” the report said. Many epidemiologists know it and are “silent” about the...

The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) warned Thursday nobody should relax in the face of future coronavirus threats, cautioning the strong likelihood that further, possibly more dangerous variants still lie ahead. During a press briefing, Prof. Didier Houssin, who heads the W.H.O. emergency coronavirus committee, said the current disposition of the pandemic is “not good,” despite it being 18 months since it was officially declared a public health emergency.

A new study suggests that COVID-19 vaccines made by AstraZeneca and the Pfizer-BioNTech alliance are broadly effective against the highly contagious Delta and Kappa strains of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, the pathogen that causes COVID-19.The Oxford University study, of which a peer-reviewed pre-proof has been published in Cell (pdf), sought to gauge the ability of blood serum from people vaccinated against COVID-19 and from those who recovered naturally to neutralize the Delta (B.1.617.2) and Kappa (B.1.617.1) variants, formerly referred to as the “Indian” variants as that is where they were first observed.While the researchers found that both the...

The so-called Covid variants, officially designated as mutations, are being used to extend the British lockdown. However, Dr. Luc Montagnier, a Nobel laureate and former director of the Retrovirology Lab at the Pasteur Institute reports that in fact it is the vaccinations that are producing the variants.Dr. Montagnier says that an enormous mistake, an unacceptable mistake, a scientific and medical error has been made. The Covid vaccines are causing new variants that perpetuate the problem.Dr. Montagnier said that epidemiologists know but are silent about the phenomenon, known as “Antibody-Dependent Enhancement” (ADE). Prof. Montagnier explained that the trend is happening in...

Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Tuesday that the dangerous Indian COVID-19 variant could become the most dominant strain in the US — as the mutation has rapidly spread among younger people in the UK. The White House chief medical adviser said he feared that the so-called Delta variant, B1.617.2, could overtake the highly contagious UK variant, known as B117, in the country — an alarming prospect we should prevent. “We cannot let that happen in the United States, which is such a powerful argument … to get vaccinated,” Fauci said Tuesday at the White House COVID-19 task force briefing.

"The new variants are a production and result from the vaccination. You see it in each country, it’s the same: the curve of vaccination is followed by the curve of deaths," says Prof. Luc Montagnier. ================================================================================= Prof. Luc Montagnier said that epidemiologists know but are “silent” about the phenomenon, known as “Antibody-Dependent Enhancement” (ADE). While it is understood that viruses mutate, causing variants, French Virologist and Nobel Prize Winner Luc Montagnier contends that “it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.” The 2008 Nobel Laureate made the explosive comments as part of a larger interview with Pierre Barnérias of...

The COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States and Europe offer protection against the four main coronavirus variants known to exist, a World Health Organization official says. "All COVID-19 virus variants that have emerged so far do respond to the available approved vaccines," WHO European Regional Director Hans Kluge said Thursday at a news conference. Kluge said the B.1.617 variant now killing thousands of people daily in India, where it was first detected, is of special concern. That variant has spread to all six WHO regions and has been detected in 26 of the 53 nations in the...

Two studies published Wednesday found that the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine was highly effective at preventing infection and severe cases of the virus caused by more infectious variants. The findings indicate that the two-dose inoculation, which has already been approved for emergency use and distributed in the U.S. and other countries, could also protect against more transmissible variants fueling new waves of the virus across the globe.
