The World Health Organization has issued a warning about yet another new COVID-19 variant it fears could potentially evade vaccines. That variant, called Mu, was first detected in Colombia in January, and has been announced just as the Delta variant finally appears to be peaking in the U.S. Over 4,600 cases of the variant, whose scientific name is B.1.621, have been spotted since then, and it has spread to more than 40 countries. Almost 2,000 cases of the variant have been detected in the United States. The WHO's weekly bulletin claimed its mutations suggest it may be more resistant to vaccines, as was the case with the South African

They skipped a bunch of letters. Maybe those failed during lab testing so it took several versions before they found one they liked enough to release it.

Right on cue. If we were betting people, we could make a fortune off this sort of stuff. We can predict it as if we have foreknowledge from the gods.
Past behavior indicates future performance. We’ve seen it all before.

So now we have a Columbian variant to go along with the South African variant. Both of which the vaccine is useless against. Let's keep the border open a little longer.

As the Church Lady said, "Isn't that special?"
Imagine: a NEW variant called Mu was first detected in Colombia in January.
I call BS!
I smell an on-going "new variant" scam. It's all the Democrats have.
Until at least November 2022 there will as many "new" variants as needed to facilitate Democrat voter fraud.

Now they'll demand isolation, THREE masks, and a "booster" every month until all possibility of any Covid illness making anyone sick has been eliminated from this planet.

Where they should be monitoring is along Biden’s open US borderline, as that’s where it will first appear in the US in big numbers.

local news still parroting the party line that Delta is still on the upswing. Funny that they do not seem to be using the 'Death Dashboards' anymore.

Will this "Trigger" pulling down even more Columbus Statues?
1st 'novel' variant =China. 2nd was =Iran(primarily affecting NY/NJ), then India, 3rd European, though Europe called it the American variant, then Chile, now Columbia? Giving them Greek names defeats the possibility of tracing spread by watching permitted travel from source Hotzones. Notice they haven't tried to alter the name of Ebola, because...Why exactly?

When are they going to start treating this menace instead of giving useless shots which don't stay ahead of the virus? This whole thing is a plot to control our lives.

People going in for the shot can no longer just order a COVID shot. It will be something like, "I'll take a regular COVID-19 booster, two Deltas and a 2nd dose of Mu."
"Would you like to add the South African variant to that and make it a Happy Meal?"

In other words, Covid is just like every other FLU and keeps changing. That is why we get a new variation of the flu vaccine each year. We don't hear about the latest flu mutation, or cold virus mutation. Viruses change. Stop the scare mongering. Learn to live with Covid. Covid, like the flu will make some sick, will kill some vulnerable, and 99.9% will fully recover to complain about the flu/Covid/cold.

They better slow down inventing these variants as they're going to run out of alphabet before the '22 elections. And by the way, as a sub to a federal contractor, I recently received a powerpoint slide deck of a government physician telling lies (e.g., "Natural immunity has been found to be of shorter duration and not as effective as any of the vaccines" when just the opposite is most likely true) to the virtual fed and contractor audience and included in the slidedeck, was a list of all of the variants and the last one listed was Lambda, so Mu (Meeuu), was next in line. That list also included 9 sub-variants of the Delta.

The vaccine thats not a vaccine that does nothing whatsoever to prevent transmission does not enhance and create alleged variants to the alleged virus and the exact correlation between vaccination and increased infections and variants is strictly coincidental do not believe what your own common sense and critical thinking tell you We are not in the midst of the greatest evil in human history that literally demands total control over all the cells in your own body its not yours not you its theirs the trained drones obediently put the steamed filth trap symbol of submission on their faces And dont worry theres only 3998 variants to go

So funny, I read an article about "Mu" at least two months ago...said it was from Colombia and was already in Miami because of the number of Colombians who frequently travel to that area. Except in that article, they called in the LAMBDA variant and said it was going to be right behind Delta (on schedule) to wreak havoc on the masses. Constant state of fear -- can't even keep the names of the variants right.

Isn't the widespread use of vaccines causing the virus to mutate to new variant forms? The solution is the cause of the problem???
