New COVID variant BA.2.86 spotted in 10 states, though highly mutated strain remains rare
CBSNEWS ^ | 09/18/2023 | ALEXANDER TIN

People across at least 10 states have now been infected by BA.2.86, a highly mutated variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 that authorities have been closely tracking.

According to data tallied from the global virus database GISAID, labs have reported finding BA.2.86 in samples from Colorado, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

Estimates suggest BA.2.86 still remains a small fraction of new COVID-19 cases nationwide.

Too few sequences of the virus have been reported to show up on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's biweekly variant estimates, which still show that a long list of closely related XBB variant descendants are driving virtually all infections around the country.

"The diversity is less than what appears. Many of these lineages actually have identical spike sequences. We've observed this before, where we see convergent evolution and viruses evolving to have the same substitutions," said Natalie Thornburg, a laboratory branch chief in the CDC's Coronaviruses and Other Respiratory Viruses Division.

The BR-549 variant is even worse. It turns its victims into Junior Samples.

Is that where they released the mice infected with CoVID, like those found in the illegal bio-lab in California?

How’s the gene sequencing of the other coronaviruses in circulation (229E, OC43, NL63, HKU1) going?

And oh, by the way, why has the 40-year long coronavirus vaccine development work not been successful?

And what the hell have they been ‘tracking’ this highly, ooga-booga election scare strain WITH? What SPECIFIC accurate TEST are they using? Where did they get this ‘test’ across 10 states they’re supposedly tracking the ooga-booga election scare strain with?

OR? OR......they’ve got some hand selected hospitals and doctors who know how to toe that government BS line and hold fast. IOW, flu becomes ooga-booga election scare strain by subjective, tainted diagnoses, etc. and not with an objective accurate test.

Let me see the test, where they got it, who developed it just now as they’re inventing vaxxines for the ooga-booga election scare strain, and who do they work for? Who’s getting paid?

I call bullsh!t.

To me, there is no question this virus was man-made. I think it also highly probable that the Omicron variant, which essentially ended the pandemic, was man-made as well. Omicron was essentially so contagious, it pushed other variants out.

None of this seems like an accident.

Neither the word “China” or the word “Wuhan” appear anywhere in the CBS story.

They’re using a specialized tracker technology developed at DNC Headquarters in Washington, DC.

Just in time Pfizer has created a new covid drug well tested on white mice, all of which died the FDA then declared it suitable for human use. Take it or else!!!! it is so effective they expect to lose only 25% of those who took the booster shots at least 30 times to die of “something.”

Ivermectin is the cheapest, most effective remedy for all variations of the China Virus. Just take it at the earliest onset of symptoms.

Yet, Big Pharma continues the experimental vaccine charade, because that’s what benefit$ their bottom line.

Is this a Chinese or a variant form our own bio labs?

That’s my guess. Probably concentrating on swing states, too.

The feds pay Big Pharma a bundle of taxpayers’ money for these experimental jabs, with total immunity from any liability for damages. Ergo, huge profits with no risk.
Endless (phony?) variants and endless boosters. What a racket. Who gives a damn if people die?
