Dr. Anthony Fauci on Thursday said that the new Mu variant of COVID-19 is not considered to be “an immediate threat” to the US.
Federal officials are “keeping a very close eye” on the virus mutation, though its “not at all even close to being dominant” in the US, the White House chief medical advisor said.
“Bottom line, we’re paying attention to it. We take everything like that seriously, but we don’t consider it an immediate threat right now,” Fauci said during a White House COVID-19 briefing.

Who ever is pulling the string on the back this human communist puppet to make him spew out his fear garbage and lies about the Chinese Wuhan Bioweapon flu - please stop. We have heard enough from this imp from hell.

Yea not a problem he says, meanwhile Biden has the southern border open to all..
Yesterday on the news they had video In Texas a 50ft tractor trailer stops on a dirt road, the trailer doors open and illegals come running from every direction, jump in and the truck drives away... Somebody is paying for this and will spread disease and crime across the country.

Probably it's the greatest threat, but he doesn't want to frighten us, not yet anyway.

Really, the best thing to do is to plan on getting sick with the virus. If you're fat, get rid of some of it.. seriously. If you don't prepare for being infected, you're foolish. The vaccines can't protect you. Viruses spread like they always do. They mutate like they always do. Blame the virus! Don't blame Fauci or Trump or Biden or the vaccinated or the unvaccinated. Don't blame the Chinese, the Columbians or Mexicans, or the India Indians or the Africans. Stop blaming and get your body ready to do battle!!

It's not close enough to the elections. Trust me it will be a crisis by then. It will require total lockdown and voting can only be done by pollsters!

I have a question? How are they testing people to find out if they have one of the variants? What if they say it’s a variant, but it’s just regular COVID and they blame a variant because the vaccine does not work? I never used to be a conspiracy theorist, but sheesh, most of them aren’t conspiracies anymore.

#10. I tested positive on August 13 and my wife on August 15. Your test results don't tell you what virus you have. BinnaxNow. And honestly, your body doesn't care. What the CDC tells you to do... "Stay home for 10 days. Call your PCP. If you get blue, have trouble breathing or get a high temperature (over 102), call 911." They didn't call for contact tracing. We did that ourselves.. we called our contacts. The CDC or the PCP doesn't tell you what to expect or what to do to minimize symptoms. My PCP said.. "Okay. We still recommend that you get vaccinated, but wait 90 days." Neither my wife nor I were vaxxed. Our U.S, Senator, Anguish King, was "fully vaccinated" and was sick at the same time. He praised the vaccine for saving his life even though he had all the symptoms we had , but he couldn't stop coughing and had to go the hospital where he was given monoclonal antibodies. I don't know if he is out of the woods yet, really. I live in a part of Maine that is a hot spot right now and vaxxed and unvaxxed are coming down with Covid19, presumably the Delta Variant.
Like I said before... quit blaming and get ready to get sick. If you don't get sick, you are blessed. If you do get sick, you won't be surprised!

These are the letters in order of the Greek aphabet:
alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, eta, theta, kappa, lambda, mu.....
So far we have had the original Covid-1984 with DELTA, LAMBDA, and now MU variants
What happened to all the ones seemingly left out?
And by the way, shouldn't we be using the CHINESE alphabet instead???

#4 he deserves every bit if the notoriety in the true meaning of the so often misapplied word.
#15 Dr Flip Flop should be selling sandals on a beach.

Excellent advice, #12. The pattern of "hot spots" seems to center around the popular vacation and beach areas of the country where people tend to travel and gather in groups. Florida in Winter and Maine in Summer with California and New York being an all-year-round cesspool of disease and crime.
The vaccine only adds to the danger. The wife and I stay fairly isolated in a rural area and if we catch it, it is God's will. They can keep their vaccine because it's not a vaccine, natural immunity is.

Tomorrow he will tell us that we’re all going to die from Mu. I quit listening to him in March of 2020.

Variant Mu will become "immediate threat" in the pre election period necessitating "democratic" election "actions" by dimos and their superiors as in 2020. Pubies (and Trump) got taken to the cleaners then; let's hope there's better preparation for the mid terms and 2024 presidential.

Bet it will become an "immediate threat" as soon as the Arizona audit findings are announced.

Well, we know what to do when Fauci speaks. Just the opposite of what he recommends. BTW, what happened to Epsilon, Theta, Eta, Kappa, and Lambda variants?

If Fauci says don't worry, that might mean this will be the worst disease in human history.

The lying yard gnome once again pontificating and lying. He has no fricking idea about anything about the Mu variant. None! He is not a scientist. He is not a real doctor (I wouldn't let him treat a sick insect, nevermind a human being).

I guess Dr. Fauci and all those governors, including mine in Louisiana, did not see the Ohio State vs Minnesota football game last night. No masks and the stands overflowing with people, no social distancing. But we sit here in 100 degree weather, wearing masks and sending our babies to school with masks and no one sees the hypocrisy in all of this?

So is it a 'Mask-Level 1' or 'Mask-Level 2' virus? Either way, I have a couple of grungy blue masks under the seat of the truck ready for anything.

Covid is the same as the flu. Each year it seems that here is a new strain or mutation requiring an updated Flu vaccine. This has been going on forever. I don't hear the CDC panic over this every time the Flu mutates. The Flu kills people too. I am so tired of hearing about every variant of the Covid virus. We will hear about a new mutation every week as long as the government wants to assert it's control over the willing people who follow their every word with fear. I don't see people hiding at home, wearing masks, or mandating the Flu vaccine to stop the annual Flu season from killing people. Covid should be treated the same because it is the same. Stop the fear mongering, daily death counts, and intimidation of people unafraid of Covid. It is a virus, not a Zombie apocalypse with people dropping dead in the streets and being eaten by the undead.

But it will be in a week, and he will demand adding another mask to the stack of masks already demanded, and probably another 'booster' shot too, and another six months of lockdown.

Isn't that exactly what he said those many months ago, right before all the lockdowns and panic set in, early Masrch 2020??

My cynicism knows no bounds. So a new variant appears in Colombia. It appears to evade our vaccines, natural immunities and best therapeutics. What could we do to slow its spread here? How about we open the southern border, not test, much less turn back anyone, and instead ship them all over the country and see what happens?!
