BA.2.86 subvariant potentially better at causing breakthrough infections: CDC
The Hill ^ | 08/23/2023 | JOSEPH CHOI

Posted on 08/23/2023 10:47:59 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The recently detected BA.2.86 COVID-19 subvariant may be more capable of causing infections in people who previously contracted the virus or have been vaccinated, according to a risk assessment from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), though it remains unclear if this strain causes more severe illness than others.

First detected last month, a handful of infections caused by BA.2.86 have been reported in the U.S., Denmark, South Africa, the U.K. and Israel. The CDC noted that genomic sequencing of COVID-19 has dropped “substantially” when compared to the past few years, so the spread and occurrence of new strains may go undetected for longer.

So far only two cases from BA.2.86 have been confirmed in the U.S. This newer strain is believed to be descended from the BA.2 “stealth” variant that surged globally early last year.

They are trying SO HARD to shut everything down. The media, as usual, is spreading the lie.

The purpose of every one of these stories by the propaganda ministry is to lay the foundation for what’s coming.

If they try to shut us down again, they deserve to die.

If we let them shut us down again, we deserve to die.

“Potentially” is psy-ops wordsmithing. As comes any Biden bribery hearings, also comes a pandemic emergency.
