New horrific variant found

because many people are refbusing to mitigate the virus either by vaccines and/or mask wearing. We are in this mess because of these people.

These people are the reason the Delta variant exists

These statements appear to blame the un-vac, is that what you intended? if so see posts above this one

(Adds when result expected and why samples deemed suspicious)

BRUSSELS, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Belgium is analysing two samples of COVID-19 to establish if they are the new coronavirus variant first detected in South Africa, a leading local virologist said on Friday.

Marc Van Ranst, whose laboratory works closely with Belgium's public health body Sciensano, made the comment on Twitter.


"We are currently analysing two suspicious samples," Van Ranst said.

Van Ranst later told Reuters that the samples were suspicious because they were not the Delta variant, which accounts for almost all infections in Belgium.

He added the results of the analysis should be known on Friday afternoon. (Reporting by Marine Strauss and Philip Blenkinsop)

There are several points to be made:

Covid has been over-hyped from the beginning
Remember all the field hospitals and medical ships in NYC when Covid first arrived there? Remember all the fear and panic? Remember how it all eventually came to...not much? Field hospitals and the medical ships were little used, if at all.

Ah, you must not be a Florida resident like I am where hospitals were inundated with ICU Covid patients.

Nope, never was "overhyped", just plain facts.

The news media is not trustworthy

The news media can't even report the facts of the Rittenhouse case right, even after a much-publicized trial. The news media clearly has their own agenda, and it involves spreading Covid panic. And let's throw social media censorship into this part, too.

That's why I stick to science-based sources.

Give me liberty, or give me death

I would much, much rather deal with whatever Covid can do to me than deal with this slow creep of governmental totalitarianism that is happening due to Covid panic.

Nothing of the sort is happening here. It's all in your head.

No, more so that refuse to do non-vaccinated (non-phramaceutical) mitigation practices like masking up and since the virus can still spread to a certain extent through the vaccinated..well, then it's time to mask up.

Vaccines reduce Covid transmission by 40%: WHO

Sure, it's not a 100%, thus still to mask up

Listen, if you refuse to vaccinated, the least you could do is mask up in public places.

And don't give me that bologna about masks not working.

It's always better to be overprepared ... than under prepared.

Hospitals across the country are still periodically reporting shortages in space and staff due to COVID, however.

You can have death.

It's could bypass vaccines because many people are refusing to mitigate the virus either by vaccines and/or mask wearing. We are in this mess because of these people.

These people are the reason the Delta variant exists

Honestly ... there was not a chance that we could vaccinate enough people worldwide quickly enough ... to keep these variants from arising.

All you need is a pocket of population ... where the virus can circulate for a while ... and normal viral mutation will give rise to a new variant.

Nations can arm themselves against attack by the inevitable new variants by getting their populations vaccinated ... and/or by practicing social distancing and the wearing of masks, when appropriate ...

Anyone unvaccinated stands no chance at all

Still no discussion of natural immunity? There's a reason for that and you should be asking why.

Honestly, because many of us have been going around in circles in these here forums...having already explained our stance on natural immunity, refuting that masks don't work, and vaccinations aren't 100% effective ad nauseum, that it's really not up for argument anymore.

Horse has been beaten to death.

First case reported in Europe:
Europe's reported first case of new COVID variant found in Belgium

Several European countries including France, Germany and Italy, have already imposed new travel restrictions with South Africa and neighbouring countries.
The EU Commission is expected to call on other member states to follow suit.

Well that's interesting considering it's the vaccinated that are panicking.

Well, there is a cause for concern obviously. Not sure how this is "interesting"to you

This should be watched carefully, hopefully like the other post-Delta variants this may or may not gain traction, but we'll see.

Per the BBC

How worrying is the new Covid variant? - BBC News

"There have been many examples of variants that have seemed scary on paper, but came to nothing. The Beta variant was at the top of people's concerns at the beginning of the year because it was the best at escaping the immune system. But in the end it was the faster-spreading Delta that took over the world."

BRUSSELS, Nov 26 (Reuters) - The European Union's chief executive called on Friday for a suspension of air travel connection to places where a new coronavirus variant has been detected.

EU chief: halt air travel with places with new COVID variant

This one is spreading faster than Delta.

Natural immunity, like vaccine-induced immunity, will ultimately decline.

At which point you decide again ... get the vaccine again ... or risk infection with COVID again ...

this jab does not prevent risk of infection ans it is not a vaccine

I was comforting a friend yesterday whose father aged 50, previously fit and healthy, has died of covid after it invaded his body.
Even in my family there are two who refuse vaccination.
This is tragic and senseless. Even God cannot help those who refuse to take the help on offer. What more can He do?
I've had all my jabs, including flu. I know there are no guarantees but if I get it, I know I have a chance. Far better than no chance at all.

This argument will go on but the deaths are happening. It is dangerous. No guarantees of natural immunity nor ongoing immunity without boosters.
