* South Africa's infection rate is growing exponentially after Botswana Covid variant was spotted in the country
* Scientists warn it has spread to most of South Africa's provinces and is set to become dominant 'very quickly'
* They fear the strain is highly transmissible and can infect vaccinated people more easily than the Delta variant
A new Covid variant that has more mutations than have been seen before is becoming dominant in South Africa and is feared to be ultra infectious and vaccine resistant, scientists warned today.
Experts said the variant is growing 'very quickly' in South Africa and is driving the country's surge in infections.
Around 100 cases of B.1.1.529, its scientific name, have been detected so far in three countries and the World Health Organization is convening an emergency meeting tomorrow to investigate the troubling strain.

WNU Editor: This could be bad if not isolated quickly and this new strain is more dangerous than the Delata variant.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the 95% or 85% confidence interval of the spike protein? If spike protein is not perfectly formed it can cell dock withy the receptor sometimes. It can dock with the receptor until the genetic code is so mutated that the protein formed is no longer recognizable as the spike protein. Should we think in terms of a "vector space"? How many elements in this space? Is it 10s, 100s, 1,000s?
If it is 1,000s we can keep the fear up very day of our life. Just what the dictatorial politicians ordered!
I have a relative who was vaccinated in spring or summer and caught COVID anyway in the fall. They are also living with the one relative, who chose to remained unvaxxed. So this is not some esoteric exercise for me.
If this fear porn keeps up, the adult bookstores will be put out of business. They will not be able to compete porn versus porn.
no one says you do not get covid if vaccinated. getting it and dying from it different. The inform can die though vaccinated. The relatively healthy if vaccinated do not. You choose
ReplyDeleteVery true
DeleteOh yes it was said a lot. Why are you lying? You lie constantly. There's no choice.
Delete"You choose." The relatively healthy generally don't die from the disease either nor do they generally suffer mid to long range complications from it. On the other hand, the vaccine carries risks such as infertility, myocardititus, and blood clotting issues just to name a few.
DeleteTo get the vaccine or not, it's a tough decision. Frankly, while some should get the vaccine, most probably should not.
It's a difficult decision. Some of life's decisions are easy others aren't. This one isn't easy. Whatever decision one makes here should be respected by others. This vaccine should NOT be forced on ANYONE.
Why are governments forcing a dangerous vaccine that has limited efficacy on people? There's obviously another agenda at work here. Furthermore there are so many groups who are being exempted from the mandate that it is essentially useless as a tool to halt virus spread.
I'm pretty sure he/she meant "the infirm" as in those who are sick or have underlying health conditions. Sometimes auto correct can be a doozy. When the context is evaluated, it's obvious. It helps to read the posts before commenting.
DeleteFor the record, the official one, you are an idiot. Strictly speaking it is not your parents fault. It is some weird synergistic combination of your parents, your peers, your schooling and society, which has combined to create the loathsome idiot that you are.
ReplyDelete"The inform[sic] can die though vaccinated."
Give that much thought son?
Why do you believe that, if a person is vaccinated, they tend to get sick instead of dying? Is it because of the statistics or you consulted your oracle Dr. Fauci?
After all the flip flops and lies, I do not believe some things Fauci says just because he said it. The same goes for the Fed chairman, the FBI director, the CIA director and many others.
God I trust/All others need to bring proof.
I tend to believe that a vaccinated person has less chance of getting severely ill because of memory B cells and memory T cells. If an expert give an opinion and can state a mechanism, then I generally believe them. I can compare it to what I know biology, economics, psychology etc.
You on the other hand just need the word of the expert. You are a real party man. You have unimpeachable loyalty and faith and you are also a literal idiot.
If a person has been vaccinated but gets sick with COVID 6 months later, how do you know if it is a mild case that it is due to the vaccine and not their youth? You do not. You do not have the analytical tools.
Pfizer's Covid efficacy against infection plunges to 20%
You have analytical skill but can't spell, that's very persuasive.
ReplyDelete$:@6 does not get a pass. It argues with generalities and appeals to authority with a healthy dose of ad hominem thrown-in.
ReplyDeleteThis is an example of its speed.
"My candidate wants good things. Therefore my candidate is better than your candidate."
Anyone who supports vaccinating newborns to 18 year-old for COVID, while eschewing the proper analysis of case fatality rate by age cohort or comorbidity is dishonest, a troll (foreign or domestic) or an idiot.
The get no benefit of the doubt.
If you vaccinate children and you still believe the science supports this you're reckless and cannot be entrusted with anything. You're a programmed useful tool of the great reset. The mRNA "vaccines" are not vaccines, don't protect you, don't stop the spread, BUT already now cause a spike in heart issues, blood clotting, strokes, instant death, epileptic shocks and that's just the short term. Mid to long term we will see cancer, birth defects, and more death.
ReplyDeleteBut you, the people who bring down the west because you say you know the science but haven't worked in a lab nor done research, you are the worst there is.
You know nothing but shout the loudest.
Scum
Evil, know nothing, scum

ReplyDeleteDid anyone else notice that the b imposter style of writing has changed? Even wnu is now replying to the “new” imposter. Well not that I care at the least the new troll doesn’t dribble
