Watch out! There’s a new #fearporn variant in Africa.
This new variant has 30 mutations in the spike proteins, which means that… Hold your breath… Vaccines might not work for it.
Not that they’re working that well for the current variants. Had to cancel last minute Thanksgiving plans with a double vaxxed friend who got covid anyway. It’s too early to say whether he will have a mild case, the point is that when they rolled this out, it was to keep you from getting sick. Then they changed the story.
The way it works is that when you get sick the old-fashioned way, your body makes an immune response to at least five different parts of the virus, one of them being the spike protein. Your immune system is then better equipped to identify and attack any variant. This is one of the benefits of #naturalimmunity. (a hashtag banned on Instagram now.) I posted earlier about the data from Qatar showing that after you’ve had it once, you are exceptionally well protected from having a severe or deadly case afterwards.
In a normal world, news organizations would be trumpeting this information and we would be celebrating in the streets and taking our masks off unless we were at exceptionally high risk.
Stay sane. Stay rational. Remember the past, especially the shifting story to force you to get a treatment, even when your doctor says it’s not good in your case.
