A Doomsday COVID Variant Worse Than Delta and Lambda May Be Coming, Scientists Say
Scientists keep underestimating the coronavirus. In the beginning of the pandemic, they said mutated versions of the virus wouldn’t be much of a problem—until the more-infectious Alpha caused a spike in cases last fall. Then Beta made young people sicker and Gamma reinfected those who’d already recovered from COVID-19. Still, by March, as the winter surge in the U.S. receded, some epidemiologists were cautiously optimistic that the rapid vaccine rollout would soon tame the variants and cause the pandemic to wind down.

Delta, like most of the other variants, blindsided us, worsening and extending the pandemic. When the damage from Delta starts to subside, what other variants will be lurking just behind it to pull us back down again? The World Health Organization is already keeping an eye on several: Eta, which is now in several countries; Kappa, which arose in India; Iota, which first popped up in New York City—and especially Lambda, which has torn through Peru and shows signs of having unusual success in infecting fully vaccinated people, according to one early study. It has already spread to Argentina, Chile, Ecuador as well as Texas and South Carolina.
It’s too soon to say whether Lambda will turn out to be the next big, bad thing that COVID-19 unleashes on us. But it’s a good time to wonder: Just how destructive can these variants get? Will future variants expand their attack from the lungs to the brain, the heart and other organs? Will they take a page from HIV and trick people into thinking they’ve recovered, only to make them sick later? Is there a Doomsday variant out there that shrugs off vaccines, spreads like wildfire and leaves more of its victims much sicker than anything we’ve yet seen?
And wondering allows government to implement all sorts of draconian restrictions and controls on citizens. Oh, hey, perhaps we should be looking hard at the work done at the Wuhan institute, which was provided lots of support, and cover, by Fauci. Does a normal virus act like this, creating so many variants so quickly?
If we do not all get vaccinated, the next Covid-19 variant is just around the corner, expert says
Efforts to get more Americans vaccinated against Covid-19 are growing more urgent as an expert warns that if vaccination rates don’t increase, the dangerous Delta variant could continue to evolve.
“The next variant is just around the corner, if we do not all get vaccinated,” Adm. Brett Giroir, the former coronavirus testing czar under Pres. Trump, told CNN’s Chris Cuomo.

Here in North Carolina
Cooper: NC focused on vaccinations, not new pandemic-related mandates
Gov. Roy Cooper dismissed questions Wednesday about the possibility of a new state mask mandate or business shutdowns amid a surge in coronavirus cases statewide.
Cooper probably realizes that there a lot of people who will no longer abide by restrictions, and, just as important, instituting all sorts of mandates and restrictions will harm the push to get North Carolinians vaccinated.
Meanwhile, 19% of small business say they will require the vaccine. I’d expect that number to grow. The Pentagon is going to mandate that all service personnel be vaccinated. How many will refuse and leave the military? How many will refuse to sign up? Los Angeles is considering a mandate requiring all people to be vaccinated for indoors activity. 19 Democrats are demanding the Capitol physician to mandate vaccination for Congress. And more and more and more.
Something about the Vaccine craze that indicates something else is going on:
There are several “traditional” vaccines getting close to approval. Note that their approval process is going MUCH more slowly than the mRNA vaccines did.
The one I’ve been keeping an eye on is the Novavax one. It’s the same type of vaccine that’s been in use against Hepatitis B for decades.
But they’re already saying that even after Novavax gets approved by the FDA, it probably won’t be widely available in the US because of the excess stocks of mRNA vaccines still left.
But many of the people that are resistant to getting the vaccine (myself included) are resistant specifically because the mRNA technology is new and, has no long term track record, and many doctors (including one of the ones who helped invent the technology) are warning that there may be unintended consequences down the line.
If you could convince mRNA resistant people to get a vaccine using more traditional technology, wouldn’t that be a good thing? Especially since in the trials so far, the Novavax vaccine has been indicated to be more protective than any of the big three mRNA vaccines available here, so why not let us get that one?
The fact that not only are they trying to force us to be vaccinated, but they want to force us to get this SPECIFIC type of vaccine, makes me wonder what the heck is going on.
It may just be crony capitalism: the Pharma companies manufacturing the mRNA vaccines have big pockets and I’m sure they’re lobbying hard. Or there may be something more sinister involved…I’m no conspiracy theorist so I’d bet it’s the first one, but who knows…
