A truly scary variant. If it really does rip through our vaccines it will be a huge problem.

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.

Don't worry, because the Democrats are forcing all Americans to get vaccinated, so we'll crush this thing!

Yep, and guess where that happy little variant is going to come from - from South America where it is devastating Peru, through Central America in caravans, right up to our southern border. They have already found it in Texas.

I don't care what either party is doing. More than likely both are doing the wrong thing as usual. I work out of my house. I can avoid humanity until this is over if need be.

I thought we were testing people who fly into this country. How are these variants popping up in the U.S.?

It is coming up from the Latin American countries of which Biden is bringing it in.. Biden will kill many more Americans.. it is a planned event. 10% who get Lambda in Peru died ... I in 10.. It has spread all over Latin America in 30 countries already and it is here in the US now.

We have a lot more people entering the US that are not flying.
Well they are catching about 200K a month so imagine the total if you consider all the others they are not catching ?

Just open everything up and let the virus run its course.
I'm tired of hearing about new variants, and all the fear being pushed by the media.
It's just a new cold virus, deal with it.

These tests are no where near 100% accurate.
