    More virus mutations on the way!

    Botswana Covid variant may have emerged in an HIV patient, has twice as many mutations as Delta and could make jabs at least 40% less effective against infection ? what we know so far

    British scientists warn new variant has twice as many mutations as Delta

    Experts think it will slash protection from Covid vaccines by 40 per cent

    Health Secretary Sajid Javid last night announced travel from six countries

    Wonder what it will do to immunity from an actual case? People assume they can't get it more than once as an excuse for not getting vaccinated. For example this variant comes along on the heels of a pretty severe Delta wave in South Africa.

      Closest corollary that comes to mind is the flu - you can be vaccinated with a four-strain shot, and get sick from a fifth strain.

        Always, just as the numbers trend down, "they" find something to raise up to scare chicken little and keep the "emergency powers" active continuing "theor" control. Like old Hollywood actors and asyresses saying or doing something to try and keep themselves in the public eye and they think relevent.

          Midterm elections are getting closer too. Gotta keep those mail in ballots coming.

          This alleged variant comes like clockwork. More will appear as needed.

            It's a respiratory virus. It's doing what a respiratory virus tends do which is constantly adapt. This is why we get a different version of the flu vaccine and every year the effectiveness of the vaccine varies depending on how well the researchers educated guess went. COVID, or SARS2 is no different and we may as well get used to it. New COVID vaccine of varying effectiveness every year.

              My across the street neighbor is a 34 year old in great physical condition and told everybody that that he didn?t need no stinking vaccines. Then he caught the COVID last July and didn?t have to be hospitalized. He was adamant that he was now immune. Last week he tested positive again and now he says he will get the vaccine.

              The German health chief is right when he says everybody will either be cured, vaccinated, or dead by next September.

                Biden restricts flights from South Africa and seven other countries, but walking across the border in Texas is still OK.

                      Trump banned people from China and he was called a xenophobe.

                      Biden bans people from six countries from southern Africa. Does that make him a afrophobe?

                            Their record is skipping, and it sounds like crap.
