Concerns over the new COVID-19 variant discovered in South Africa hammered stock markets across the world Friday, sending all three of the major US indices down at least 1 percent.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures tanked more than 800 points Friday morning as investors abandoned bets on the global economic recovery and piled into the basket of stocks that surged during the depths of the pandemic.(Snip)The US sell-off comes after markets in Europe and Asia saw similar drops as investors around the world were jilted by warnings coming out of Africa about a new, potentially more infectious variant of COVID-19 that could be resistant to vaccines.

All part of the plan? We have to get the Communists out of our elected offices and bureaucracies, but when and how?
The Sheeple are still wearing masks and lining up to have their children injected with the Bill Gates population control experimental shots, so is there any hope?
Follow the money. Look at who is profiting. It isn’t patriotic Americans.

You'd think eventually the wolf cries would be ignored. I think some people LIKE being frightened.

What about that Pfizer pill that's supposedly going to be FDA approved? It's going to reduce hospitalizations by 95% after contracting the disease? Haven't heard much about that one in a while.

Gee, but I thought the vaccine was supposed to get us back to normal life. It was supposed to protect people, but it turns out to protect little, turn the vaxxed into super carriers, lower their immunity, and injure them. Now the fear pork...more lockdowns, fines, firing the unvaxxed, turning those who dont want it into pariahs.
Just more of the same.

Fool me once, shame on you… The problem they now have is COVID exhaustion. People just completely over of it. Tired of it and really tired of the lies. And ready to ignore this stuff and live. Thank God for Florida. They showed the way. This thing is over. The Fear Porn artists just don’t know it yet. The anger from the public will grow when an exponentially larger group of “vaccinated” start developing all kinds of maladies and dropping dead. I wish my all my heart it wasn’t coming, I know with all my heart it is.

This is a much more contagious variant, but it's nothing compared to the one that will follow, if we aren't sufficiently frightened by it and don't get Gates' new injection. Faux-chi will give us our marching orders as soon as he figures out what they are.

Same thing happened when the Delta variant was announced. It will take a week of two but the market will bounce back.

Has any news source followed Dr Mengele after his TV appearances to see where he goes and what he does?

Gates’ smallpox scare last week failed to produce the desired panic, so here we are. But keeping getting your useless boosters for this vaccine-resistant variant. Just do something, even if it’s futile.

A new scare? Africa, with so much malaria and everybody on Hydroxychloroquine for it should be fine.

Fox headline labeled the new variant as 'monstrous'. Really? Only zombie viruses are 'monstrous'. No zombies? It's not monstrous.
The media cranks up the fear? I'll crank up the ridicule.
So done with COVID, the fear porn, and the totalitarian governmental response to it.
Can we just stop talking about it, and get on with our lives? Not a chance. It's needed to steal elections and control the populace.
Queuing up the next lockdown, and tens of millions unemployed (again).

This selloff seems more about Bidenflation and how the Fed is expected to react than anything about Covid. But Covid is a useful political tool and provides a plausible cover story masking Bidenflation due to profligate government waste, so the msm runs with it.

There WILL be new mutated versions of this virus permanently, this is always the case, and is always rapid with RNA viruses due to single strand RNA being inherently unstable, unlike double strand DNA.
This is like freaking out that the sun rose in the east ......AGAIN!

Dr. Robert Malone was on the Warroom this morning, and through a lot of complicated virological/imunnilogical explanation ultimately said that this is exactly what was predicted with the vaccines, and is right on time. In plain language, the vaccines and the vaccinated themselves are creating the variants. The vaxxed are the sulerspreaders.

Anyone else notice what is conspicuously absent from all of these reports of this new variant?
No mention of how ill those who contract it become. Not a peep. More contagious means NOTHING if the illness it produces is mild. The only hint I see from the reports is that Johannesburg hospitals are not seeing a spike in admissions...
So, like when a black police officer kills a black perp... you never get that bit of information. I suspect this was dumped as a news story on a thinly traded half day market trading session for nothing more than monetary gain.

No worries. The stock market has always been controlled by hand-wringers, greedy old men and silly rumors. It will be back up by Monday.

I rode out the first market panic, and picked some bargains along the way. I have a tremendous cash cushion, so I should be fine. The only market timing I did was to wait until it made a double bottom before I started buying in, with dividends, which, BTW, weren't affected much, if at all, by share prices.
If you've had the original virus itself, as I have, if you happen to catch this one, it'll be a non-event. Your natural antibodies will go after more than the spike protein the vaccine induced antibodies go after (which this variant doesn't have) so they'll fight it off at least 27 times better.
