New ‘Pirola’ variant of COVID is spreading fast, has experts concerned

As COVID-19 cases continue to rise nationwide, a new variant dubbed “Pirola” has experts worried.

Also referred to as BA.2.86, Pirola is a highly mutated variant of the Omicron strain of the coronavirus, which emerged in 2021 and led to a frightful spike in COVID-19 cases and deaths.

“When Omicron hit in the winter of 2021, there was a huge rise in COVID-19 cases because it was so different from the Delta variant, and it evaded immunity from both natural infection and vaccination,” infectious disease specialist Dr. Scott Roberts said in a Yale Medicine bulletin.

The bulletin states that “there is some reason to worry, in that this variant … has more than 30 mutations to its spike protein,” referring to the proteins on the surface of the virus that allow it to enter and infect human cells.

“....it’s too soon to know whether this variant might cause more severe illness compared with previous variants,” the CDC stated.”

With each mutation it becomes less dangerous.

This article borders on click bait.

In the dictionary, “pirol” means “golden oriole”.

They think we have no memory; Omicron was mild from day 1 and amounted to the pandemic of the vaccinated, Walensky and Psaki getting it again and again.

But everything they tell us is a lie because their agenda is to kill something like 13 out of 14 of all humans on earth.

You keep posting that comment. I haven’t replied. Thought it was time to say, you nailed it! Well said!

More broadly it’s about control and conditioning people to obey.

Took me three years to come up with that acronym.

I wish I’d started posting it during the 2020 campaign.

Originally, we had the covid 19 virus spreading.

Then the Delta variant came along.

Then, I believe over a year later, then the panic was over the Omicron variant.

How many variants are we supposed to panic and shut down our lives for?

We are clearly supposed to be panicked and shocked and awed over yet another covid virus variant.

It’s almost four years since covid swept over the world.

How many years are we supposed to interrupt regular life for, due to a virus, considering viruses mutate and produce variants, and will never disappear?

Or is it all worth it to the powers that be, if we all vote Democrat; is there a political component to all of this?
