Fears arise that Lambda COVID-19 variant from Peru may be resistant to vaccines

Lee Brown   |   July 5, 2021   |   1:24pm


Scientists fear that a highly contagious new COVID-19 variant that is ravaging Peru may be resistant to vaccines.

The Lambda mutation, or C.37, appears to have emerged in Peru last August — and is now being blamed for the country having the highest pandemic death rate in the world.

The concerning strain has since spread to around 30 countries, mostly in Latin America — but also as far as the UK, which has recorded at least eight cases, according to government figures.

There are no known cases of the Lambda strain in the US, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  .  .  .

FEAR!   FEAR!   FEAR!
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Liberals have discovered a big, bad boogey man to scare people with. Worse than "WALKERS!" on the Walking Dead, worse than "GODZILLA!" in the movies, worse than "INCOMING!" in combat and certainly more scary than "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater... libs will be screaming "COVID!" until everyone obeys them about when to work, when to open schools, when to eat out, when to shop and certainly until OBEDIENCE MASKS become second nature. By then we will question nothing they say, obeying instantly and completely without hesitation.

If I'm reading this right, this strain emerged... nine months ago??? That's an awfully long time for a single strain to rise to dominance without itself mutating.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Indeed.  From the summary of that paper:

Quote
Virus with the lambda spike had higher infectivity and was neutralized by convalescent sera and vaccine-elicited antibodies with a relatively minor 2.3-3.3-fold decrease in titer on average. The virus was neutralized by the Regeneron therapeutic monoclonal antibody cocktail with no loss of titer. The results suggest that vaccines in current use will remain protective against the lambda variant and that monoclonal antibody therapy will remain effective.

Curious to know what they will start calling these things when they run out of the Greek alphabet.

They seem to be selecting Greek letters at random. If they get to Omega, though, I'm hoping that means we're at the end of this nonsense.

They could do Fraternity names?

A couple of months ago WHO decided to switch from geographic names to Greek alphabet names. Maybe "South Africa", "Brazil", and "India" sounded too racist to the over-sensitive. Or maybe it was getting clunky. :shrug: I have seen Greek alphabet names in other medical contexts, so it's not unprecedented.

The Greek alphabet names started with Alpha and have been used alphabetically. It'll get interesting if this goes past Omega. Anybody for "Alpha Beta variant"? Cue Alan Hamel!

Yeah, they did that for the same reason they were stumbling over themselves to avoid associating the original virus with Wuhan: they were afraid it might give those areas a stigma

Could Greek food be a transmission vector for these Greek Lettered variants?  Have any studies been done?  This is very concerning.

Then the most infectious (not necessarily most virulent) strain could be called the Tri Delta variant - because everyone else has!

The Twitter bots are all over it, posting identical "personal" stories about the variant.
