My statements are backed up by news reports and articles you can hear about in the news and radio. If you actually read shyt outside the Coli you’d be more educated in what’s going on with this Virus.

Im not downplaying this virus. I’m not anti-vac. I’m just keeping my mind open to everything going on with this virus and not being a weirdo sheep.

My entire fam and I caught it last year without even knowing it until months later. (You can even read my posts in here regarding my symptoms.) luckily for us it wasn’t bad.
It's sad because he thinks he's helping, but when he boldface lies it just puts a stain on all his other efforts.

I don't understand why people have a hard-on with people not getting the vax. You can still get sick if you have the shot or not. :gucci:

And reports already said people who had Covid have better antibodies in their system than one of the vaxes going around.

AAAS

There's 300 million people in America if Covid seriously effects 1% of those people that's 3 million potential hospitalizations or deaths. The vaccine cuts down your chances of being hospitalized by another 99%.

If everybody got the shot there would only be around 30k to 40k people who would be at risk of being hospitalized or dieing from covid in the future. That is a huge difference compared to 3 million potential people at serious risk. Hospitals were not built to handle this many patients all at once staying for 3 to 20 days per treatment.

KEY POINTS
  • The World Health Organization is monitoring a new coronavirus variant called “mu.”
  • It has mutations that have the potential to evade immunity provided by a previous Covid-19 infection or vaccination, the WHO said.
  • The new variant was first identified in Colombia but has since been confirmed in at least 39 countries, according to the agency.

New mu variant needs careful observation: W.H.O.

The World Health Organization is monitoring a new coronavirus variant called “mu,” which the agency says has mutations that have the potential to evade immunity provided by a previous Covid-19 infection or vaccination.

Mu — also known by scientists as B.1.621 — was added to the WHO’s list of variants “of interest” on Aug. 30, the international health organization said in its weekly Covid epidemiological report published late Tuesday.


The variant contains genetic mutations that indicate natural immunity, current vaccines or monoclonal antibody treatments may not work as well against it as they do against the original ancestral virus, the WHO said. The mu strain needs further study to confirm whether it will prove to be more contagious, more deadly or more resistant to current vaccines and treatments.

WHO says it is monitoring a new Covid variant called ‘mu’

WHO presses world leaders to hold off on Covid booster shots through September

Covid vaccines remain ‘stunningly effective,’ even as Delta concerns grow

CDC director says unvaccinated people shouldn’t travel over Labor Day weekend

Nearly 1 million Covid booster shots have already been administered in the U.S., CDC data shows

Mu “has a constellation of mutations that indicate potential properties of immune escape,” the WHO wrote in its report Tuesday.

“Preliminary data presented to the Virus Evolution Working Group show a reduction in neutralization capacity of convalescent and vaccine sera similar to that seen for the Beta variant, but this needs to be confirmed by further studies,” it added.

Dr. Gottlieb explains why Covid breakthrough cases are happening

The agency is monitoring four variants “of concern,” including delta, which was first detected in India and is the most prevalent variant currently circulating in the U.S.; alpha, first detected in the U.K.; beta, first detected in South Africa, and gamma, first detected in Brazil. A variant of concern is generally defined as a mutated strain that’s either more contagious, more deadly or more resistant to current vaccines and treatments.

It’s also keeping a close watch on four other variants of interest — including lambda, first identified in Peru — that have caused outbreaks in multiple countries and have genetic changes that could make them more dangerous than other strains.


Delta was a variant of interest until the WHO reclassified it in early May after preliminary studies found it could spread more easily than other versions of the virus. That variant has since been blamed for a number of large outbreaks around the world, including in the United States.

The new variant, mu, was first identified in Colombia but has since been confirmed in at least 39 countries, according to the WHO. Although the global prevalence of the variant among sequenced cases has declined and is currently below 0.1%, its prevalence in Colombia and Ecuador has consistently increased, the agency warned.

The WHO said more studies are required to understand the clinical characteristics of the new variant.

“The epidemiology of the Mu variant in South America, particularly with the co-circulation of the Delta variant, will be monitored for changes,” the agency said.

The Wrong Side of the Tracks
Colombia has administered at least 35,355,619 doses of COVID vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses, that’s enough to have vaccinated about 35.1% of the country’s population.
