Interesting, there is a new #southafrica #covid #variant https://twitter.com/chrischirp/status/14.. Why the hell we have to get #important #news from #twitter is beyond me, but here it is un-screwed: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/14638.. Anyway, very little is known about this #variant as of yet, but it seems like it might be #vaccine #resistant ... Great.
Looks like #china definitely has the #covid #delta #india #variant now: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/covid.. People are also now #panicbuying #food after the #government told people to 'prepare' for a #war on #taiwan ... What the hell is going on over there?
Worth keeping an eye on this #covid #delta #india #variant that appears to have popped up in the #uk https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/mutat.. So far it's not clear which will win out.

Also there's a good chance that your #immunity will be better if it's #delta #variant #immunity rather than a #vaccine aimed at the #alpha #variant . As I said previously, your #immunesystem will also create #antibodies to multiple parts of the #virus - not just the #spikeprotein ... In theory #natural #immunity is more #robust the #mutations ...As I suspected, the #idea of #longcovid being a #sideeffect of #covid is actually mostly #bullshit https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/long-.. This of course makes sense - #natural #immunity means you are #immune to multiple parts of the #virus , not just the #spikeprotein ... Also covered by #zerohedge https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/verit..
Apparently the #covid #mu #variant is not nearly as #dominant as the #delta #variant - something that was #predicted by #vaccine #virus #experts https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/mu-va.. Unfortunately that means that the more #deadly #strain will remain the most #spread variant.
Once you have *had* #covid - it's pretty much the same as a #vaccination https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/lawye.. You still are just building #immunity to the #proteinspike - and if you get the #delta #variant then it might be even more effective. Probably still advisable to get a #booster #jab if you're #highrisk later down the line, but these people shouldn't be #shunned ... If already got immunity, they will get really #ill too.
So apparently there is a new #mu #variant of #covid that #fauci is telling people not to be concerned about: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/dr-fa.. Given how reliably wrong #fauci has been, I am hedging my bets against him. There is currently very little #data on this new variant and it's actually incredible he is saying anything about it.
There you have it, #israel openly declare that #vaccinations *do not work* against the #delta #india #variant of #covid https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/.. They have the world's *highest* level of #vaccine rollout. I mentioned a while back that irrespective of these results, it's now time to end the #covidlockdown ...
So a key person in the #oxford / #astrazeneca #vaccine development for #covid has no said that the #delta #india #variant makes #herdimmunity impossible: https://www.businessinsider.com.au/delta.. Why are we even bothering then? #israel has 80% #vaccination in #adults and recently got another surge in cases. *There is no way out, we just need to accept the reality.*
There is a study suggesting that the #moderna #vaccine is more effective against the #delta #india #variant of #covid than the #pfizer one: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/.. The interesting part for me though is the #hackernews #comments where people are #mixingvaccines https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=281.. This is completely untested: https://globalnews.ca/news/8021692/mixin..
As expected, the #delta #variant of #covid is #dominant in the #us https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus..
Ouch, looks like the #uk will see a 4 week delay to #covid #lockdown restrictions: https://youtube.com/watch?v=HtT-AOmA_0g The rumour is that it will be Spring next year before the lockdown is fully lifted. Apparently the #india #delta #variant is still of quite high concern.
