Current Risk Assessment
Based on what CDC knows now, existing tests used to detect and medications used to treat COVID-19 appear to be effective with this variant. BA.2.86 may be more capable of causing infection in people who have previously had COVID-19 or who have received COVID-19 vaccines.
At this time, we don’t know how well this variant spreads, but we know that it spreads in the same way as other variants. That means you can still take the following actions to protect yourself and others from infection:
- Get your COVID-19 vaccines, as recommended
It's the flu, bro
‘From David M’
The information relayed to Fauci in the Jan. 27 email appears to have been sourced from “David M,” a possible reference to Fauci’s senior advisor David Morens.
Morens, another top aide to Fauci, came under congressional scrutiny earlier this year when emails obtained through a congressional subpoena showed that he was in communication with Daszak about pushing back on stories in the press about the lab leak theory.
The email also points to a connection between NIH and SARS-CoV-2’s closest cousin virus, RaTG13.
The new email states that the bat virus discovered with NIH help is 92 percent similar to SARS-CoV-2, while RaTG13 is 96 percent similar across its genome. It’s not clear whether this is a mistake or refers to a different virus.
It is clear that a preprint authored by Wuhan Institute of Virology Senior Scientist Shi Zhengli about the similarity between SARS-CoV-2 and the bat virus it discovered, RaTG13, published on January 24, 2020, set off major alarm bells among the leaders of the NIH.
An email previously reported by U.S. Right to Know indicates that Collins and Fauci were concerned in February 2020 about whether NIH could be traced to Wuhan Institute of Virology Senior Scientist Zhengli Shi’s research shortly after she published a preprint about RaTG13.
“Note strongest similarity of 2019 nCoV to Bat Cov RaTG13. Obviously the details of that comparison will be critical,” Collins wrote to Fauci on February 1, 2020. “No evidence this work was supported by NIH.”
An email obtained by U.S. Right to Know via FOIA shows Collins and Fauci exchanging emails about RaTG13, a bat coronavirus closely related to SARS-CoV-2 discovered with NIH aid.
In fact, NIH had supported the work, according to public papers and the Jan. 27 email to Fauci.
“Do not rule out suing these ******** for slander,” Morens wrote to Daszak. Scientists looped in on the email included virologists who have cast the lab leak theory as a conspiracy theory in papers and in the media.
Morens also spoke to the media about the origins question at Fauci’s request, saying, “Tony doesn’t want his fingerprints on origin stories.”
The emails also showed that he said he sought to evade FOIA requests by using his personal email address.
“I try to always communicate on gmail because my NIH email is FOIA’d constantly,” Morens said in a September 2019 email. “I will delete anything I don’t want to see in the New York Times.”
The emails prompted letters from congressional investigators and the National Archives and Records Administration.
While his deputies appeared more informed about EcoHealth Alliance’s work in the Jan. 27 email, Fauci’s championing of gain-of-function studies — despite the concerns of scientists who questioned the utility and risk — may have contributed to its prestige.
Drumpf did the GynaFloo?!?!From Supe's linked story:
These people knew of the research, knew that the Wuhan lab was investigating Corona viruses that might be transmissible to humans, knew that the lab was thereby engineering the viruses to make them contagious to humans to study that effect, knew that money from the United States was helping to fund that research, knew that the Covid flu was extremely close to the flus being investigated in Wuhan, and then tried to hide their knowledge by using personal e-mails to avoid FOIA requests.
Donald Trump is facing four indictments for the most idiotic alleged misdeeds, and these people - who helped fund engineering flus to make them more contagious to humans, lied about that fact, tried to hide the evidence of their activities, tried to hide communications showing that they knew all along that the disease was almost certainly engineered at Wuhan and escaped - are walking around free and indeed getting paid lots of taxpayer money. These people belong in jail. Now. Right the **** now.
For the THIRD time. Stupid gullible libtards.Jill has been injected with everything they got. She has the infection. The most protected woman on the planet is infected after taking every injection they prescribed.
CDC now admits this:
CDC says shot makes it more likely you get the Chinese flu
Wait, what? Avaccineshot that makes it MORE LIKELY you get the illness the shot was designed to prevent?!? Wow, that's freaking awesome. Just ******* great.
Well, thank God we can trust the CDC. They would never give stupid advice, right?
WHAT.
THE.
****?!?!?
They are telling me to get thevaccineshot that makes it MORE LIKELY that I get the ******* illness that they claim the shot is supposed to prevent?!?!?
Tibs (who's quit the board but logs in regularly)
It's the flu, bro
I am not sure that I believe these Hollywooders and politicians that say they got covid. I think they want to make it an issue .......again.
Let’s be very clear, there is documented evidence that verbal motor and overall cognitive performance in children born during the pandemic and also in school aged children subjected to pandemic “public health” policies is much lower. How much of this in children could be from the daily eight or more hours of mask use during school and day care? Federally funded school programs have required mask used on all children, except babies, right up until Sept 2022. It is clear that these will return if the CDC deems that COVID-19 positivity tests reach a certain threshold.Conclusions:
A significant rise in carbon dioxide occurring while wearing a mask is scientifically proven in many studies, especially for N95-masks due to their higher deadspace and breathing resistance.
Fresh air has around 0.04% CO2 while masks bear a possible chronic exposure to low level carbon dioxide of 1.41–3.2% CO2 of the inhaled air in reliable human experiments.
Animal experimental data shows deleterious proven effects of elevated CO2 of inhaled air in the long term with threshold values of above 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.8% (Neuron destruction, impaired memory and learning, increased anxiety, destruction of cells in testes, stillbirth, and birth defects). The risk for children's mental development starts at levels of above 0.3%, to adolescent male sexual development at levels of above 0.5% , as well as to unborn life at levels of above 0.8% resulting in reduced cognitive performance, reduced fertility and stillbirths.
There is circumstantial evidence that popular mask use may be related to current observations of a significant rise of 28% to 33% in stillbirths worldwide and a reduced verbal, motor, and overall cognitive performance of two full standard deviations in scores in children born during the pandemic.
EXCLUSIVE: Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance will introduce legislation Tuesday to crackdown on the ability by the federal government or commercial airlines to force Americans into wearing face masks amid a string of new coronavirus variants.
Titled the Freedom to Breathe Act, the legislation, if passed and signed into law, would prevent President Biden and federal agencies from implementing face mask requirements for public transit passengers or students in schools until Dec. 31, 2024.
Additionally, Vance's office said the measure would prevent federal spending from being used to propose face mask requirements or force Americans to wear face coverings.
