Masks!! Mandates!! Vaccines!!!.... but protecting us from the worst variant discovered??

[Papageorgio]

Ban the travel, I am not sure why this country has this issue. Just keep the infected OUT! I don’t care what the world thinks of us.

 

[Care4all]

It's obvious.
This administration is willing to force companies to fire employees because they refuse vaccines in the name of protection.
They place mask mandates. Work restrictions, closures etc. - all in the name of protection.
But here we have discovered a Covid variant that is claimed to be the worst of all, able to circumvent vaccines and immunity... a viral threat that resulted in the entire modern world banning travel from.... and this same administration refused to.
Why do you think that is?
THAT - is the point of the thread.

Do you have a link on this? Why didn't you put this thread in the Race Relations forum?

PANIC!!!!!!! SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN!!!!!!!!! GET 40 SHOTS!!!!!!!!!!

OP’s report mentions N501Y. We first mentioned it in Dec 2020. USMB search will show how many times it came up. Their argument is grasping for straws to maintain sensationalism they think the prisoners are now addicted to. Delta was a major mutation but is waning, not necessarily to have others take its place. There are only just so many moves on the spike chessboard. That is why we study it.

Okay. Point stands. How sick are they? We don't know.

Many are people who have been fully vaxxed are sick. It's as if they haven't been vaccinated at all.

And with new mutations comes new attack vectors.

This can end up being like an Ebola virus before it's over. We just don't know yet. Too early to tell. It's exploded in infections practically overnight.

And if it's hit the genomic sequencing labs...that means it's wider spread than is currently known.

Delta was running rampant months before anyone actually knew and identified it.

The WHO and CDC are very much behind the curve...and if this new variant is already spreading...it's going to be too late by the time our or any Government reacts.

Lol. Thats funny.

Delta accounts for 90% of all current infections around the world.

It is about an administration that, IMO, has not installed a travel ban due to afraid of looking racist. Despite the fact the rest of the world has placed a ban on South Africa,

Countries ban travellers from southern Africa over Covid variant

UK warns B.1.1.529 strain ‘may be more transmissible’ than Delta and vaccines ‘may be less effective’

A new variant of concern in South Africa has prompted some governments to ban flights from the region.

This thread is obvious.
I don't even offer an opinion on Covid here.
It is about an administration who will not hesitate to go as far as forcing companies to fire employees who refuse to vaccinate - but refused to shut the border to the most dangerous variant yet. Reportedly can render vaccines useless.
WHY????
The only answer that is quite obvious - they don't want look raaaaacist

despite the discovery of a Covid variant labeled "horrific".

Not quite yet. We need to learn more about it.

More in terms of being able to get the pharmaceuticals to manufacture millions of doses

Traditionally, they give every years 'influenza variant' their best guess 1/3 of a yr before it spins around the globe our way

~S~

They do not admit it was a Bio weapon. And from saying it was from China is racist, bigoted and worse. This is no normal flu.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Because it is not a bioweapon. Peddle that nonsense elsewhere.

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Still hasn't locked down travel?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The United States still has not banned travel from South Africa despite the discovery of a Covid variant labeled "horrific".
And looks to be able to circumvent both natural immunity and vaccines.
European Union countries and Britain banned all Travel from South Africa. So has Israel, Australia and Asian countries.
Biden??..... Nope.

Why not? Because it's raaaacist?

Closed. You're trollling
