  1. Year 2050
    The XJHMAWNMQNGMAM Variant is now here.

    Seriously this is getting lazier every year, remember when you can spell 'moronic' out of Omicron and now we get the cat hitting the keyboard and got XBB

  2. Oh poppycock and darnit, another pesky variant doth appear. I trust my good fellows at FYZOORR and MAADERRNARR will russle up another VARRKSSYNNE and inject it thrice weekly into my bottom. Good day, madam.

  3. The rate at which XBB.1.5 has taken over the Northeast and (presumably soon) the rest of the country is extremely fast. Taking a look at all of the evidence leads me to believe this variant was formed as a result of the intense immune pressure by the virus to escape vaccine-induced antibodies. What we appear to have here is a direct result of vaccinating during a pandemic with a non sterilizing vaccine. We now have a virus that appears to possess greater antigenic escape and is more virulent.

    Over the course of natural viral evolution and mutation do you think the virus will try to overcome the many antibodies your body produces via natural infection or the same antibody, in millions of people, that the vaccine produces? Answer: The virus will select the easier route – the vaccine-induced antibodies.

  4. Everyone i know who got covid, had the shots, except myself. I got it last year just after christmas. I wasnt even out for a week. Basically it was just harder to breath, but i was also working in a super dusty environment at the time with demo work. Everyone else with the shot was out for weeks, theyd be in and out of work all the time. Lots of them lost their strength, and havent gotten it back. Theyve also all had it more than once… i remember them asking why im still there if i dont have that shot. I just told them youre vacinnated arent you? Then dont worry about me, youre "protected"

  5. This is such a terrific interview; Cynthia, so frank, expressing exactly how so many people. And Dr. Sayal, great, clear information. Thank you!
    Getting my bivalent booster in the morning, thanks to this clip! I held off because my third Covid shot, a booster, produced scary symptoms: pounding & fluttering heart starting 7 hours after that shot; way elevated bp. This time, getting the bivalent booster much earlier in the day, just in case. 🧊🧊🥤🥤😖🤞🤞🍀🍀

  6. I've never taken a single drug in the last 5 years, over the counter or prescription. I don't eat processed foods, and I make sure my mental health is the best I can through things like meditation. That's my advice to people, get healthy and get in shape. Stop taking these vaccines and drugs. Also don't live in fear

  7. One variant after another. It seems that one follows the others in succession, when one ends another takes it's place. I wouldn't be surprised if states bring back social distancing laws shortly.

  8. Its always good to get vaccinated every 4 months and ware a mask and wash your hands always use hand sanitizer and social distance even when traveling and going to work and shopping stay home

  9. Yay a new booster. To save us from getting natural imunity to a virus that dosn't make you very sick. Because getting endless needles that make you sicker than the virus just makes sense. Is anybody still falling for this failed experiment?

    Can you say myocarditis everyone.

  10. Every new variant it is the same facts! The new variant is more contagious and immune evasive. Make sure to get all your vaccines even though they don't do any good. Make sure to wear a mask even though they can't protect you.
