Just saw this article which says the opposite and says it's not as aggressive as Delta....

https://nortonhealthcare.com/news/covid-lambda-variant/

So it's all speculation at this point. I think we need to wait until we have more data before going into panic mode.

This sounds like more of the fear porn. Next.

Well they are catching about 200K a month so imagine the total if you consider all the others they are not catching ?

There are about 2 million passengers flying daily. About 10% is international. That is 200k a day entering the US on a plane every day.

The headline says this:

However, the data is very preliminary and medical science doesn’t yet know if lambda will require a different response to COVID-19.

The problem is if it evades vaccines.

So why was Trump being blamed when variants were popping up in the US during his presidency? Variants are still popping up now. So why is Biden getting a free pass?

The researchers also noted that in laboratory experiments, they found three mutations in the variant’s spike protein that help it evade vaccine-induced antibodies and two additional mutations make Lambda highly infectious.


"Lambda can be a potential threat to the human society,” senior researcher Kei Sato of the University of Tokyo, said, according to Reuters. It remains unclear whether the Lambda variant is more dangerous than the Delta variant which is currently spreading rapidly in many countries.

"Potential threat to humanity" is the fear porn, plain and simple.

Didn't you just post something about being against people who use fear porn?

Zhoe and Kackles will happily let in as many infected as possible via our southern border..

Why call it Lambda? I don’t want to be killed by an extinction level virus called “Lambda”

It’s kind of funny how some of us literally predicted this almost exactly in stride how it’s happening. It’s funny how some bio chemist multibillionaire try to come out and warn the people of the world that this was a planned and orchestrated conspiracy and he spelled out how it was going to happen in detail and guess what? It’s happening exactly the way he said. Others have tried to speak out and have since been silenced or even disappeared. When are you people going to wake up and realize this is a worldwide population control campaign and it’s happening right in your face.

The variants Will continue to come over and over again. You all do realize this, correct? Like we are just in the beginning stages of this mess.

I don't know. I don't run the MSM. They were biased against Trump. But Biden is not getting a free pass. If he was getting a free pass the MSM would not even be talking about covid. He is doing a horrible job with covid. The CDC is making a fool of themselves. And all that is being reported.
