Fear the COVID variants, say the experts. Fear for your lives! We have been told that the British variant is more deadly. Wear a mask to combat it. This is what Anthony Fauci says. This is what the lab coats say. Wear a mask and listen to us and the variants will disappear or something. Nope. Texas reopened a month ago, set their mask mandate and there were no nails. Nothing happened. There is no fourth COVID wave. The vaccines work. We are close to herd immunity. NBC News recently committed a serious sin. They actually reported that the COVID cases in New York are mild, that they are younger patients, and that the hospitalization rate is not nearly as bad as last year. Mild cases mean that these children can recover from home, pick up the antibodies after ten days and then wait to be vaccinated if they want to. For some of them, it will not be a picnic, but it is the best news you can hope for, as it is not the risk of death or hospitalization. It all goes in the direction of our trend of herd immunity. And now NBC News has released another piece in which it appears that the British variant is no longer deadly (via NBC News):
People infected with the more contagious coronavirus variant first identified in the UK did not experience worse symptoms and did not have a higher risk of death, according to a new study published Monday.
Scientists are struggling to determine the nature of the British variant, which has become the dominant strain in Europe and since last week in the United States. Most important among the questions: Is the variant more deadly?
The study, published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, looked at data from last autumn in the UK, shortly after the variant was first detected. It spread rapidly and eventually became the dominant tribe that spread throughout the country.
The new findings contribute to the understanding of scientists’ ongoing development of the British variant, known as B.1.1.7, at an important time in the pandemic, as it and other variants spread widely in other countries.
But the thing is, you know it’s going to be another space where experts can drag their feet so Democrats and other panickers can buy time for the internal passport system they want here. eventually the narrative will be: ‘we can not return to normal, even though there are no more COVID deaths or infections until we know the cause of the virus.’ It’s not going to fly and with a virus with a survival rate of over 90 percent, I think the COVID suppressors completely underestimated the time they had to set up new control systems.
