For the last few months, JN.1 has been the dominant COVID-19 variant in the United States, making up the majority of cases. A new variant, however, has taken over and may lead to an increase in cases this summer.

KP.2, which is an offshoot of the omicron variant, currently accounts for an estimated 28.2% of COVID cases after making up just 1.4% of cases in mid March, according to data from the Centers for Disease and Prevention.

Just in time for the election!

YES

Sillie, Benny, Patty, Bodhy, Wincel, JLC, OPGenesis, should we be worried?

just get the vax, folks

Everyone knows covid was just a seasonal flu overblown by media hysteria to wreck the economy for Trump.

Well everyone besides leftists knows that apparently, they trust the science!

Why are you freaked out over percentages, when the actual numbers are down significantly?

"In late April, the latest week for which data is available, the U.S. hit 5,615 COVID weekly hospitalizations. By comparison, there were more than 150,000 weekly admissions at the peak of the omicron variant circulating in early 2022."

Suddenly this is where you irrationally start thread?

Oh look, the guy who STILL believes the jab should be a requirement to join the military has chimed in......

That was quick lol.


It's just like all the fear mongering over excess deaths from da jabbbb leveled out back to normal, which in all likelihood was due to Covid, and not the vaccines.


According to retards like Dave boosted people like me should have been dead by now.

[frankdtank20]

How many times has a new subvariant become the dominant one in the last few years? I'd assume this happens like every other month now?

Last I remember from last year only ~10% of excess at the time were deaths were from COVID. Doesn't mean all the rest were from the jabs. Homicide, suicide, alcohol overdoses all went up after lockdowns and other authoritarian measures. Plenty more reasons for the excess deaths unrelated to getting the Wuhan cold.

Not only does Biden molest his daughter in the shower he also lied about not getting the WuFlu if you got your cuck shot.

Why did you even get the booster?

My doctor recommended I get it, and told me to stop buying into misinformation.

Yes..it is all those "covid deaths" that fearmongers had to push..

That's it? Because your doctor recommended it? Because you're weak, high risk and frail?

What is that, pig? lol


As you're sitting in your cop car 10 hours a day, eating donuts?


You should have been jabbed due to obesity.


I had to get a flu shot for work, and she recommended the booster as common procedure.

So not only did your union not fight against the COVID vaccine mandate, but you're required to get a flu shot as well? In the words of Sillie, SAD.

Funny how you (as usual) couldn't address anything I actually posted

Covid deaths are at the lowest in 4+ years, and suddenly now you're concerned with the variant percentages within minuscule infection rates?

Why do you think he’s concerned with it??

Posting an article that shows how the media and other entities with a vested interest in keeping the narrative going just refuse to let it go doesn’t mean he’s worried about Covid cases.

[nutsy54]

Because he took the time to start a thread... about nothing.

What "narrative"? Infections the lowest since Covid started 4+ years ago? (That's the part Dave deceptively omitted from his post).

[jtaylor2010]

Wait….so you honestly think Dave is concerned about the new Covid variant?? Just lol

What "narrative"? Infections the lowest since Covid started 4+ years ago? (That's the part Dave deceptively omitted from his post).

This narrative:


"The virus' capacity to evolve is anticipated, and it's something we've prepared for in our ongoing public health response," said Dr. John Brownstein, an epidemiologist and chief innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital and an ABC News contributor. "Given the seasonal patterns observed with COVID-19, a slight uptick in cases could be anticipated this summer, making ongoing surveillance and vaccination efforts all the more essential."

Experts say there is no clear evidence that KP.2 -- which some scientists have nicknamed "FLiRT" on social media but is not an official name used by the CDC or the World Health Organization -- causes more severe illness or is more deadly than previous variants.

While more studies are needed to see if KP.2 is better at evading current vaccines than other variants, Chin-Hong said his experience at UCSF's hospital over the past few weeks seems to indicate that vaccines are continuing to provide good protection.

He said the one common factor among all the patients hospitalized at UCSF with severe COVID is that none of them received the updated COVID vaccine that rolled out in fall 2023.“




Make sure to go get your 8th booster this fall!!

[WoofieNugget]

Because the regular flu doesn't mutate every year which is why they have to change the flu shot annually.

It's almost as if a virus evolved into something that will survive but not kill the host, just like every other virus in history.

Okay? So why should the COVID jab be a requirement to join the military? Especially with recruitment numbers being as low as they are?

LOL. And you bent over and took it. My doctor keeps asking if we want to give it to the grand kids. But they are mature enough to smile and laugh without being rude to her
