As Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley recently put it in her UN speech: " Until all are safe, none are safe."Īs it is we may well be on the cusp of a variant (the " Omega"?) that is vaccine resistant, which would be our worst nightmare. It is important, in the meantime, to get as many people vaccinated as possible and reduce the vaccine disparity that exists in the world. But that assumes no further mutations at the spike protein because millions allow it to keep churning because they are infected by the FOX News virus! What about the so-called multi-valent vaccines, i.e which can tackle multiple strains of the Covid virus? Well some companies are doing testing, but it will be months before a final product appears and months more before the public can get an additional shot.
A6, ' Merck's Covid 19 Pill Was 30% Less Effective In Final Study') This means that vaccines, including boosters, remain the only way out of this pandemic if we ever get there. Another reason the vaccines have risen in import is based on the new finding that Merck's Covid 19 pill Molnupiravir (presumed by some to be an alternative to the vaccines) has now been found to be 30 percent less effective in the final study - than originally thought. given its own disparity - thanks to freaks and propagandists like Tucker Carlson at FOX News - who keeps vaccine hesitancy going. In other words, just as a new variant emerged in Africa, one could emerge in the U.S. It is also a cautionary tale regarding the less pronounced vaccine disparity in the U.S., i.e. "Just 7 percent of people in Africa are fully vaccinated compared to 42 percent in the global population.That disparity, public officials say, helped open the door to the latest variant. between vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, is what sets the stage for new virus mutations. 27-28, ' Vaccine Disparity Paves Way For Strains'), vaccine disparity, i.e. This ought to worry every sane and sentient citizen especially those who out of foolish sense of "freedom" have yet to be vaccinated. System…I don’t know how this thing is going to be anything but resistant.
Thing is that mutations overlap with the mutations we identified in our " What is extremely worrisome is the accumulation Ronnie Jackson omicron tweet, e.g.įor another, the remark of a Rockefeller Institute virologist ( Theodora Hatziioannou ) appearing on page A6 of yester day's WSJ. But first it is incumbent on me to call attention to the latest insane and degenerate ploy of the Right in claiming that omicron is a "Democratic trick" to help them win in the midterm elections next year.ĭon't take my word for it, check for yourself by doing some targeted Googling, including Dr. Weekend Financial Times) and their properties as they affect the R nought value (transmission) and capacity to neutralize antibodies. These and other insights are possible when one examines the specific mutations at work (e.g. The takeaway, as the reader of this post will see, means every human on the planet is liable to become a potential casualty - but especially those who have totally avoided getting any vaccinations. Vaccine resistance means also immunity resistance, so that every human on Earth will now be a potential target for this microbe predator. If the omicron Covid variant turns out to be vaccine resistant, let us admit right now it is "game over". Locations of omicron mutations (blue) and base insertions/deletions (red)
