So, from “1” to “4?”
Right on time for the next HYPE!

Dr. Angelique Coetzee, board chairperson of the South Africa Medical Association (SAMA), who reported the variant.

Ah! The new scariant!
Riiiiiiight.
I’m not buying what they’re selling.
I’ll admit that they fooled me for a minute in the early spring of 2020. For a minute. I haven’t believed any of their B.S. since.
And how sick are they?? Did they cough once...or twice.
Purely coincidentally, SA declined to comment that they’ve received and enormous grant from the Xiden Administration to ooga-booga this variant scare to the hilt.
This ‘science’ is really getting comical...
Indeed. THIS is all this new scare is about.
Welcome to the “Presidential Election Variant” of the Wuhan Flu.
