New COVID Variant Spreading in US, but Risk Is Low

 Compared to Eris, BA.2.86 has a significantly lower growth efficiency, meaning that it is less capable of replicating itself in the human bodies.

The current dominant variant is H.V.1, and it is derived from the variant EG.5, unofficially known as Eris, a previously dominant variant in the United States.

Research outside of the United States similarly suggests that Pirola should not be more severe than current variants.

A preprint study from Japan found that while Pirola may be more transmissible than Eris a previous dominant variant, it is less likely to cause disease.

Prior Infections Gives Immunity Against the New Variant Compared to BA.2, its ancestral subvariant, Pirola has more than 30 mutations in its spike protein.

Mr. Cao's own research in mice who have been vaccinated or infected with XBB vaccines showed that the antibodies generated "Cannot well recognize and neutralize BA.2.86," he wrote in a thread posted on the social media platform, X. However, Pirola had a low cell infectivity, which can affect the variant's transmission, he added.

The same group of researchers then tested antibodies produced from the new XBB1.5 COVID vaccine against several variants, including XBB1.5, Eris, and JN.1, a derivative of Pirola.

HV.1: The Current Dominant Variant The current dominant subvariant is HV.1, a new variant derived from Eris.

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

WEF Orders Govt's To Declare Martial Law Due To 'Imminent Bird Flu Pandemic' About To Sweep Globe

 The World Economic Forum has ordered world governments to make the necessary preparations to declare martial law due to an 'imminent bird flu pandemic' which they say is '100 times worse' than COVID-19. According to WEF scientists, the coming bird flu pandemic will kill at least 50% of those it infects. Infowars.com reports: Cattle in six different U.S. states have been diagnosed with this new bird flu strain. GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky shared a screenshot of a February 2024 Daily Mail article with the headline, "REVEALED: US is collaborating with Chinese scientists to make bird flu strains more infectious and deadly as part of $1m project - despite fears similar tests unleashed Covid." "Where have we seen this before? U.S. collaborates with China to make bird flu more contagious and transmissible to mammals. bird flu now discovered in U.S. dairy cattle, transmitted to at least one human being. Knock it off already!" Massie wrote. Secretive ...
