    Default New coronavirus variant in South Africa raises concern

    "It's not clear yet whether the mutations make this variant more infectious or whether it causes more severe illness, but researchers say the high number of mutations to the "spike proteins" — the focus of a body's immune response — may make it more able to get past the body's defenses."

    "Until more is known about the variant, health authorities in the United Kingdom are taking the precaution of cancelling flights from the six countries in southern Africa, adding them to the country's "red list" for travelers."

    This could be the next wave of infections that can get past the Vaccine.

    "The World Health Organization has called an emergency meeting on Friday to discuss the variant. If it's determined to be of special interest or concern, it's likely to be named "Nu," the next Greek letter in the current naming scheme."

    Covid variant: Botswana strain could become ‘major threat to control of pandemic’

    And the solution is.....more shots. 10 shots a week for everyone, even babies in utero.

    I told you fuckers a long time ago that it is just a matter of time before this bug gets around our fake vaccines, and that the Max Vax Program is likely one of the worst things humans have done to other humans.

    We are going to be so hated for our irresponsibility and lack of giving a fuck.

    Go fuck yourself fucker.

    From the heart.

    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.
